The first thing you need is a system and a strategy. You have to first ask you self what you are hoping to achieve by using Twitter in your business – is it promoting new products, finding targeted prospects or keeping in touch with your customers. You need to know this to be successful because without knowing who your “tweets” are aimed at you can’t create targeted messages.
You might also want to have multiple twitter accounts – one for attracting new prospects, and another for staying in touch with your existing customers or clients.
Project P.U.S.H. is an organization I recently learned of in one of the groups I belong to on Facebook. The organization was offering free promotion for your business. Most people would jump at the chance to get some free advertising, but I always do my research first.
I decided to poke around the Project P.U.S.H. website and see what I could uncover. What I did find, was very empowering.
The Founder is Rhonda Nails, a wife, mother, educator, business owner and entrepreneur, someone many of you can relate too. She started Project P.U.S.H. after deciding there was no Plan B…The PUSH is the Plan!
If you are marketing your business online and using your Facebook Fan Page as a way to build your brand and attract more clients, I want to share with you 3 ways you can enhance your page to encourage more people to become a fan.
As I searched to find ways to engage my fans even more, I found a few Facebook Applications that I really like and wanted to share them with you.
1. Wildfire’s IFrames for Pages on Facebook – Wildfire’s Iframe gives you the ability to create a custom landing page even if you are non-techie. Since Facebook no longer supports the static FBML, this is a great alternative to design a unique welcome page for fans.

Recently, a friend told me about a negative incident she had while dining at a large restaurant chain. Her waitress was very rude and inattentive. By the time her meal arrived, her colleague had finished eating. The last straw was realizing her steak was prepared wrong. Angrily, she took out her I Phone and sent out a tweet to her followers about her experience. Minutes later, she received an apology from the restaurant’s general manager; the cost of her meal was waived; and she was given a $100 gift certificate for a future visit. Imagine if that restaurant chain didn’t have a social media presence? What you don’t know can harm you!
When Google launched the Google+ project, I couldn’t wait to jump on board. I’m a huge fan of Google and thoroughly enjoy many of their services. It was when I discovered that only a limited amount of invites were being given out as a “trial” (and I wasn’t one), that I began to think…do I really need to be a part of yet another social network community?
So, what’s the big deal about Google plus? Well basically, it is another social network, but what makes it so intriguing (other than you can’t get in unless your invited)…it’s by GOOGLE!!!
