LinkedIn v. Facebook v. Twitter LinkedIn - generally
used for business to business type networking
Facebook – social networking
Twitter – both with benefits of instant communication
LinkedIn connects you to those in your network. You can search for people in your network and
in your area of business.
More formal than Facebook Profile is resume-like
Facebook can be used for social connections with friends, colleagues, highschool classmates, etc. Or you can make it more formal for business networking.
Get Your Name Out There, But Protect your Privacy!
Here's a good link to learn about Facebook privacy settings. You don't want just anyone viewing your profile unless it is a purely business profile.
Twitter = Facebook on Crack!
• Use Tweetdeck to organize your tweets.
• Use proper etiquette
• Post a bio so people will follow you when you follow them.
Websites – to be or not to be?Really, the question is To be Found or Not to be
Found? Design a site – that's easy
My brother designed mine.
Who finds you? Depends on SEO – not so easy
Google ranking is huge.Google alerts lets you know where you are.
Googlebots – They are your friends!
Sounds a little creepy – googlebots. But, think of them as little spider things that creep all over your webpage or blog and identify the purpose of the page. Helping Googlebots identify you is an integral part of SEO to increase your rank on google.
Blog! You can do it! And must!Blogging...Isn't that for kids?
Nope.It's is the best way to generate business online,
IMHPEO (In my honest partially educated opinion! :))
Try Blogger(easier) or Wordpress (harder, but you can do so much more with it)
So much you can do I can't put it all here, but blog away! It's an easy way to generate SEO.
Psst> A secret: Lots of my ideas came from those I follow (from far, far away) on Twitter and Solosez.

Who cares. Start slow. Start easy. And learn quick with the resources that you've learned today.
There is sooooo much more out there that I don't know. I'm learning. Everything I've learned, I've learned in the last 3 months. Seriously.
Psst: Secret #2: If you need help with computer issues and don't want to
call the GeekSquad cuz they charge a fortune! Call my son. (Well, call me – 798-8529 - and I'll put him through to you. :)- ) He's my goto guy
and my whole neighborhoods tech expert. He can hook you up. Look what he's done for me. :)

you have a question. (717) 798-8529. Really. I have no friends :), so when the phone rings I get all twittery to talk to
someone!
Remember: This is fun stuff, and can generate business. But it does take time, and patience. I would love to hear your
success stories.
Go out and spread the love (of your business)!
