    March 26, 2010

    Google Buzz is important, not because it's the next big thing, but because it's from Google and is bolted onto one of the world's biggest email services, Google's Gmail.

    7 Tips for Driving Targeted Traffic With Twitter

    February 16, 2010

    Social media has many uses—from making contacts to performing customer service—but driving quality traffic to your site is Twitter's secret weapon.  The big question is this: How can we get more of that lovely attention we crave?

    Prospects and subscriber opt-ins
    Customers, increased sales and

    January 19, 2010

    If you talk about social media, invariably someone is going to say something I'm sure you've heard a lot: "I don't have time to chit-chat. Time is money, and I don't care about a bunch of nerds' opinions anyway." ...or something along those lines! Twitter is often the target of such criticism.

    Outsourcing Social Media: Good or Bad Idea?

    December 17, 2009

    One of the big concerns about using social media for business and marketing is time. Social media activities do pose a risk of drawing you in and taking up a huge amount of your day just interacting with people.

    Add that the technology is changing all the time.  It can seem impossible to keep up with all the tools, software, techniques, etiquette, and social media best practices.

    It's hardly surprising that people are looking to social media consultants, agencies and contractors to take on their social media activity. But should you?

    5 Tips for Finding Time for Social Media

    November 19, 2009

    One of the major objections I hear about social media is about time.

    Do any of these sound familiar? "Who has time?" "You expect me to do all this on top of my normal duties?" "How do you fit everything in?" ... and so on.

    I am not going to lie to you. Social media does take time. In fact, time is going to be one of your major hidden costs of doing business on the Internet.  And for some of us, that time could be wasted if we are not careful.

    You need to watch where your time goes to ensure you're spending it efficiently and with the
