Gosh, I don’t know about you, but when I find out about some cool kind of ninja trick I get all tingly inside and just can’t wait to implement it and experience how it will work for me. And you know I will always share it with you guys.

So, what did I learn today?

Well, I was watching a recorded webinar with Mari Smith (you know THE top authority when it comes to anything to do with Facebook) and Mari mentioned that having Networked Blogs installed on your Facebook Page is really beneficial for getting more SEO from Facebook.

That’s when my ears perked up. Really?

Well, it totally makes sense as Facebook has an Alexa ranking of 2 and is the second most trafficked website in the world after Google.  It is also ranked #1 in the world for site visits for the length of session time.

Have you ever wondered if people find out when you “unfriend someone” in Facebook?

Personally, I haven’t been too concerned about this, because I rarely use the Facebook unfriend option. But it seems to be a very popular question because it often shows up as a search query on my blog. Just today I had several people ask, …

“Will friend know if I unsubscribe them — unsubscribe facebook find out – does facebook tell friend if you unsubscribe – does someone know if I unsubscribe them”

And I get those queries on a regular basis.

Has this ever happened to you?  You are getting ready to write one of your weekly blog posts and nothing happens. You have been staring at the screen for 10 minutes and you are drawing a complete blank.

Writer’s block, arrgghh!  Not a single usable blog post idea comes to mind. Nothing! Zilch! Nada!

If you are anything like me, you are starting to get pretty nervous right about now. You know that your readers are waiting for your blog post. You don’t want to disappoint them, yet for the life of you you can’t think of anything that would provide the value your readers are used to.

Pretty horrible feeling, isn’t it?

Every once in a while I get that Request for Recommendation from LinkedIn. I’m sure you get them too.

While I am genuinely flattered that somebody values my opinion about them enough to ask me for a recommendation and I love giving them, sometimes that request leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Such was the case just this past week and this particular one was a double no-no.

The new Facebook Timeline roll out is almost completed. If you are still on the old interface and would like to know how to switch to the new timeline now, my friend Adrienne Smith wrote a great blog post about how to do that: “How To Install Facebooks Timeline”

So now that you have all that space available  just what in the world are you going to choose as your Facebook Timeline Cover?

With more than 800 million users Facebook is the #1 Social Network and a very powerful marketing tool. As I have mentioned a couple of times before Facebook isn’t static, it changes all the time and it changes fast. At times it is hard to keep up. So anytime I come across new information about Facebook my antennas go up.

Last week I was invited to a webinar about FBinfluence an All in One Facebook Marketing course.

Right away I knew two things…

I knew I had to be on this webinar and I knew I was going to buy this product ….even BEFORE I attended the webinar.

Referring to my Paper.li Twitter Newspaper my friend Michaele asked me …“Where do you find the time to catch so many great stories every day?”

My answer was simple…”Once you’ve set it up, it’s pretty much on autopilot.”

You can read about how to set up your own Twitter Newspaper here…

It is really THAT easy!

I published my first issue back at the end of May and have enjoyed sharing the stories of my friends and followers ever since. If you come across great content and valuable information why wouldn’t you want to share it with your followers?  Paper.li provides the perfect platform for this with its visually appealing magazine-style layout. Statistics say that people are much more likely to read a story with pictures than one with text alone.

At 200 million registered users and a 100 million active users (as of this writing) Twitter is an excellent platform to help you connect and interact with your customers or clients and grow your business.

Did you know that over 50 million active users log in to Twitter every single day? That’s a lot of eyeballs that potentially could turn in to a lot of traffic for you.

I have been on Twitter for a couple of years now, but I still don’t know all the little tricks, but here’s a cool one I just learned about …

In my previous post I wrote about how you can Make the New Facebook Ticker Work for Your Business. Today it’s all about that dreaded Facebook Unsubscribe option.

As we well know by now, Facebook keeps life interesting with its constant changes. Some of them we like others not so much. You may have noticed the new Facebook “Subscribed” button in the top right corner when you are at a friend’s Profile Page. You can use this button to either subscribe to or unsubscribe from their updates. Provided of course they have turned that option on.

If a person is your Friend they are automatically subscribed to your Profile Page and vice versa. But you also have the option to subscribe to the updates of somebody you find interesting without having to add them to your Friends.

To tell you the truth, I haven’t paid much attention to the Facebook Ticker until I watched a webinar this week. I had absolutely no idea how powerful this little gadget is. It blew me away!

Here is what I learned and why I will be paying closer attention from now on to the updates rolling by in the Ticker while I go about my business on Facebook.

First off, what is the Facebook News Ticker?

When you look to the top right after logging in to Facebook you will see the activities of your Friends roll by. These are LIVE updates of what your Friends are liking, sharing, commenting on or doing.

The first of November logically always follows the spooky night of Halloween. Did you have many trick or treaters knocking at your door? It seems like every year we get less and less here in our community. Not even all of our neighbors’ children visited … or maybe I just didn’t recognize them in their Halloween costumes.

The first day (or first week) of the month is also traditionally the time when I acknowledge and say thanks to my top commentators. At least it’s been like that for the past year or so.

This is really cool and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.  Rapportive, a little app you install in your Gmail account, gives you instant information on the person who’s email you are reading and helps you build rapport. Everything is right there in your Gmail inbox.

Have you ever wondered what the person who’s email you are reading looks like? Where they live? If they are on Facebook, Twitter or any of the other major social networks?

Well, wonder no more!
