Thursday’s 2Tips!

1.  Think Global

Keep a global mindset when you do anything at all on a computer.  Every e-mail, every post or comment on a blog, each discussion in which you partcipate – everything should have some kind of a link back to you.  You never know who will end up seeing what you write – maybe someone on the other side of the globe!  And if it does, how will the recipient know it was you?  Think global before you hit SEND!

2.  Give Your Facebook Page a Facelift!

Monday’s 2Tips

1.  It’s Not About You

“The biggest mistake corporate users make on Twitter is employing it as a one-way megaphone for their marketing messages,” says Charlotte Abbott for Publishers Weekly.  It’s a give and take.  The more you toot your own horn the more you take.  Sharing timely articles, etc., is giving.  Twitter is about community.

2. Direct Engagement

Social networking is a great way for you to keep your hand on the pulse of the market. “What better way to explore reader attitudes and feedback, and to spot new trends, than by talking directly with your customers?” said Abbott regarding Twitter.
