What Your Phone Should be doing for YOU!!!

I realize it has been a long time since I posted last, and I am mad ashamed at that...but i had technical difficulties with my phone, and that threw my whole world out of whack!!!! And why???

Because, all of my contacts, my Twitter, Facebook, and all four of my email accounts were hooked up to my phone. My main way of finding out the news and getting in contact with people was down for the count and I did not even have a land line to compensate. And while tragic, I did realize something quite meaningful when I decided to get a new phone, that the quality of your cell phone and the reliability of it can be life or death to a small business owner.


Business moves at the speed of thought now-a-days. If your phone doesn't allow you to surf the web, you might as well be sending out snail-mail. Really...

Twitter For the faint at Heart

I've been getting questions about the not so new social media platform of Twitter, and this is my answer for all...in 10 minutes :-). Obviously this is for those who have tons of questions about the site, but more importantly this is for those who aren't on it yet and see no reason to be...there is a reason my friend :-)

Why Get on the Web??

Picture it. Modern times. A young American wants to 
     a) Plan a trip cross country
     b) Find a local Florist
     c) Learn to website coding
Where would this person go, or have gone to find all of this information? Well if this person lived before 1990, the answer would probably be to physical locations, like AAA, the White pages. or the library. 

But now-a-days, less than thirty years later, all of those questions are being answered in the same place...on the WEB.

Blogger for Business Websites

So this of course is for those looking to get on the web, who have never thought to get on the web before. I plan to look at in these tutorials, all that I have learned about all of the applications that I use for my clients and why YOU should want to try them out for yourself. 

For starters, small business owners don't have a ton of time to do a great many things, and most don't have a lot of resources that they can devote to Traditional Marketing ie commercials or print ads. BUT with a little time and effort a small business owner CAN harness the powerful marketing tools of social media to get their name out there...so let's begin.


This first podcast is simply an introduction into all that is out there in the Blogging world via Blogger. Do note though, that there's infinite possibilities in all manner of platforms, Blogger is just what I choose to use and teach.

Why I use Blogger for my Clients (Overview)

I just finished another website, that I have linked to on here, and I must say I am very excited for this one and for all that it can do for the friend in whom I created it for. For those who love to help others out there's nothing like knowing that you are able to add something to another person's  life.

And as for this website I think I want to add a bit more about the applications that I use to help individuals and small companies get their websites up and going in less than a week's time.

The biggest thing is this thing called the Blogger platform.

What a Difference a Week Makes!!

What didn't happen this past week???

I mean seriously....there was a concert, an interview, a cousin coming home from tim-buk-too, a basketball game, and fun in the sun!!! I've met some amazing people and managed to once again navigate all of this on limited sleep.

Beginning with Tuesday, I went to a free Small Business Seminar that I had seen on EventBrite. It was on Social Media Strategy. This led to me taking a new approach to everything I was doing and to me actually looking for opportunities to help small businesses to get on the ball themselves where social media is concerned.
