I have been a member of LinkedIn for years, but I really didn’t know how to use it effectively to build my business. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago when my husband came across Linked Influence that everything changed.

Up to that point I had been totally overwhelmed by LinkedIn and kind of had discarded it as a tool to build my business.

BIG mistake!

LinkedIn quietly grew to 100 million strong in the shadow of Twitter and Facebook and is now the 3rd largest social network. If you take into consideration that it is also a network of professional business people with an average household income of around $110,000 then it’s a no brainer that if you want to connect with professionals you really should be on LinkedIn.

Have you ever wanted to speed through a lengthy webinar replay but didn’t want to miss out on any of the information? Or have you ever followed a tutorial but wished you could slow down the video so you could apply the steps without having to pause the video? I know I have.

Well now there’s a solution. A little software called MySpeed.

MySpeed basically lets you view any flash video as slow as 3 times slower than the original speed. This is great for watching tutorial videos and following along without having to stop the video altogether.

I was going about my day on the internet the other day when suddenly I lost the connection. There was no warning. Boom, gone! So of course, since that had not happened for the first time, I immediately went through all the steps and procedures to get it back again. Nothing!

The next step was to call our internet provider. My husband usually does that, because he’s the techie in the family. After the usual recorded instructions we finally got a live voice. But as it turns out even the nice customer service lady couldn’t help us out. Just shooting back the signal did not work this time. Somebody had to come out and check things out on location. The earliest appointment we could get was the next morning.

Good question indeed. In a nutshell, I guess you could say EdgeRank is Facebook’s News Feed Optimization. Its own algorithm of sorts.

Typically the first page you see after you log in to your Facebook account is your “News Feed” displaying the content that people you are following have shared. You can find all kinds of content there. For example, photos, videos, links to articles or blog posts, notes, status updates and more.

The buzz has been going around about Google getting into the Social media arena with their own “like” button just like Facebook. I am not going into the details here about “what is Google Plus One” as you can read about it in more detail in my previous post “What is Google +1 and Can It Help You Gain An Unfair  Advantage Over Your Competition?”

Let me just say this…

Word of mouth is VERY powerful! How often have you acted on a recommendation from your friends? How many movies have you watched because a friend recommended it? How many new restaurants have you tried out because someone told you that the food there is really delicious?

I love sharing and syndicating the top notch content that my blogging friends turn out on a continuous basis. Visiting Ileane Smith’s blog the other day I found the perfect way to do it with Paper.li the daily Twitter newspaper.

What is Paper.li?

In simple terms, Paper.li is a free Twitter service that organizes tweets from people you follow on  Twitter into a magazine-style newspaper for easy reading.  It’s appealing layout lets you see at a glance what articles interest you and what you want to read first. Topics include Headlines, Stories, Technology, Business, Arts & Entertainment, Education, Living, SEO and more.

Wanna hang out with the best bloggers in your niche? Then you’ve got to be on Blokube.

Believe it or not, but we humans are herd animals. (I hope you don’t take offense at the word  “animal.”)

It’s true, we hate to be lonely, but we thrive when we can be part of something, when we’re in a group and have a sense of belonging. That’s why there are so many clubs out there. Sports clubs, business clubs, networking clubs. You name it and there’s probably a club you can be part of.

So….if you are a blogger naturally you want to be part of
a great blogging community like Blokube.

Have you ever heard the expression …“There is strength in numbers?”

So what exactly is Blokube and how does it work?

First, if you have never heard of “Tribe Marketing” or “TribePro” let me explain.

Tribe marketing is when a group of people collectively share each other’s content on social media and bookmarking sites. There are many free tribes that you can join on Facebook for example. I have been and still am a member of such tribes and they work very well. However, I have recently joined TribePro to speed up the process of creating backlinks and increasing traffic to my blog.

You only get one chance to make a good first impression online. Why not make it GREAT with “web graphics?”

They say… “A picture is worth a thousand words,” so blow your audience away by creating eye-catching PowerPoints, kick-butt Webinars and/or dazzle them with videos that are out of this world.

You can do all that with this value-packed Webmaster Graphics Package.

When I heard about the prelaunch of GVO Conference and its incredible low price, I had to jump on it. This was an opportunity I did not want to miss out on.

In the past my husband and I had been using web conferencing software to do live presentations with our prospects and it worked extremely well for us averaging about 7-8 sign ups per 10 people who watched our presentation.

Creating a Blog Site for Your MLM Business

One question I hear quite frequently lately is…

Should I be considering creating a blog site for my MLM  business?

The answer that pops into my head first then is actually another question … Do you want to earn an income?

If the answer is, YES, than this is really a no brainer. If you are in business to earn an income and it’s not just a hobby than you do need a central location, a hub or a “nerve center” to send your contacts and prospects to.
