By CEOMamma, on October 7th, 2010%  When I first decided to launch this blog at the end of 2009, I knew that my first priority was to reach as many people in my target audience as possible. Of course I had a clearly defined marketing plan laid out but my objective was to create some major “BUZZ” to reach my goal as quickly as possible.
The reason I created this blog was to have a designated “place” that promoted my various online business ventures which primarily consisted of affiliate programs. Even though this was my intention, my goal was NOT to make money in the beginning.
Confused? Let me break it down.
By CEOMamma, on May 10th, 2010% As a small business owner, you’ve undoubtedly heard that your business needs to have a strong Twitter presence. So, you have dutifully signed up for a Twitter account, have a some followers and have even sent out a few Tweets. Now, you’re wondering how in the world Twitter will actually help your business.
Here are 12 reasons why your small business needs to be on Twitter:
1) Build Authenticate Relationships. Twitter allows you to begin building authentic relationships with your prospects, clients and customers. As a small business owner, strong customer relationships are one of your greatest assets.
2) Share Your Expertise. If you provide valuable, interesting and compelling Tweets, you will begin positioning yourself as an expert in your particular field and industry.
By CEOMamma, on May 7th, 2010%  Have you ever wondered how you could build a community around your business? It would be nice to have a bunch of people who willingly come together and share their thoughts and opinions about your business, wouldn’t it? Before you think it’s impossible to create such an environment around your company, let me explain.
A community can be defined as a group of people sharing the same interests and ideas. That’s what makes social media so amazing because it allows people from all over the world to come together online and communicate with each other about the common interests they all share.
By CEOMamma, on May 5th, 2010% Let’s be honest, we ALL want a ton of loyal followers and raving fans chasing after us online helping us expand our business, right? Wouldn’t it be great to wake up each morning to find that over night, a flood of new people joined your fan page or your twitter account had a sudden rush of new followers? I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that this is the exact feeling most entrepreneurs would love to experience (myself included).
Even if you spend a large amount of time on social networking each day you still may not be getting the kind of followers and fans you want. The reason could be a few things but the main one could be your just not creating the right connections.

Hi my name is Tre and today I stayed home with my mom for take your kids to work day. Today I learned how my mom builds her business on facebook and twitter by making friends and talking to them. Every day she checks her stats on her blog and on hootsuite to find out how she gets traffic. She runs a Facebook fan page and shares inspirational quotes, blog post, and other information. She talks on the phone with people who want to learn how to start a business, and it’s called coaching.
By CEOMamma, on April 2nd, 2010% As a women entrepreneur and small business owner, I’m often online seeking to connect with influential women in business and those who inspire me to achieve my goals and dreams. One of the easiest ways I have found to network with and learn from such women, is by utilizing Twitter.
I decided to compile a list of MY favorite Top 20 Most Influential Women I follow on Twitter. Don’t get me wrong, there are many encouraging, powerful, successful and inspiring women out there. These are the women who I follow who I feel bring value into my life and business.
Check these women out, and feel free to add your favorites in the comment section below!
By CEOMamma, on March 15th, 2010%  There is clear reasoning behind my decision to NOT follow back everyone on Twitter who follows me first. Even though Twitter is a microblogging service, it is still a social network, a means to build connections and relationships with other people. I find some folks just don’t get it.
Since I am able to choose what type of information flows through my Twitter stream, I only want to receive that which can benefit me and what I consider valuable enough to share with my following.
I do take time to visit the Twitter pages of all my new followers before I follow back because I want to get a sense of who they are and what they tweet about. I will even check out their website if I find their tweets super interesting!

What is the value of Facebook over Twitter? Is there a difference? When do you use one or the other or both? The ultimate decision about which social network to use lies with your company culture, goals and target customer. Nonetheless, it’s important to recognize that you cannot choose “none of the above” if you want to survive the new digital economy. Therefore, the question is which do we choose and how do we begin?
This article will help you begin to distinguish between the value of Facebook for business and the value of Twitter for business.
By CEOMamma, on January 10th, 2010% Using Social Media is one of the fastest growing, easiest ways to market your business online today. Implementing the various social media platforms available into your marketing strategies can be a great way to generate exposure to your business. Although many debate the benefit of using these tools because the amount of time spent to obtain the desired results, one platform I highly recommend is HootSuite.
What is HootSuite? It is a twitter platform that gives you the ability to use and monitor multiple twitter accounts and social profiles, track and view link stats, pre-schedule posts and status updates, view your tweets, mentions and direct messages all at once. It also has other great features like monitoring your Facebook Fan Pages, feed your RSS to your stream and allows you to track certain search terms.
