Are You On Facebook Or Twitter?
November 8, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
The Web 2.0 generation is taking over. More and more network marketing opportunities are appearing over the Internet and I see that a lot of Internet marketing gurus are starting to talk about Twitter and Facebook (and a lot of other online tools).
These two tools are completely dominating the market on the Internet, and it has spread into the ranks of the network marketing dominion.
Let’s examine why these tools are so powerful, shall we?
Firstly, Facebook is one of the most visited websites on the planet – within the top 5 actually.
Since everyone is one Facebook, some of the advantages of using it to build your network marketing business includes:
- Making announcements over the news feed. All you need to do is update what you are doing and put in the links you need and people will see it.
- You can create groups and get people to join. You can also get people to recruit members for you there. As long as you give good quality content there, people will come back to your group as often as possible.
- You can also write notes like a blog and keep people updated about you.
- It’s a great way to make friends and connect with them.
So now let’s talk about Twitter.
Experts in Internet marketing has been touting that it is the ultimate business building tool. Can you imagine that?
You can accomplish the following:
- It is like an instant messaging service made available to the Internet community or the general public
- There are more than 5 million people on Twitter now
- It is used by a lot of ‘celebrities’
- You can also use it to get a huge boost in terms of sales
- You can use it to build solid relationships with your people by keeping them updated on your every move
- And also, it is a very good way to get traffic and additional leads for your network marketing business.
-
You really got to give these tools a try, even if your Facebook account is dormant, it’s time to start posting messages and letting people know what you are up to because it’s the ‘IN’ thing now.

And follow me on Twitter right here!

Five Public Relations Tips for Businesses in a Down Economy
November 1, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
I was thinking about small businesses and how they are especially hit hard in a down economy. Here are five tips that you can do for free that will help continue your business building efforts even in a recession.
1) Get local with search
Make sure your company is listed in Google and Yahoo local directories. They are free and you can even link to your web site.
2) Get local in business/service directories
With directories like Angie’s List and CitySearch popping up, be sure your company is listed in the relevant local directories. Be sure to ask customers to write a recommendation for your company as well.
3) Build a local media list at smaller newspapers and start a relationship
Offer advice, take a reporter to lunch. Local media is easier to reach and if you are doing neat things with the community, be sure they know about it. Having an event for charity? Send a media advisory.
4) Remember your employees. PR isn’t all about outside relations
Make sure your employees are motivated and happy. You can reward them with small things like praise (employee of the month/quarter), pizza in the office for a job well done, etc.
5) Discover social media
Start a blog on WordPress and talk about your industry, not just the company. Give tips, advice, general observations. Sign up for Twitter, a microblogging site, and follow people that interest you and join the conversation. Create an account in LinkedIn and Facebook and reconnect with old friends and colleagues. You can even ask business questions in LinkedIn and answer others’ questions and be seen as an expert in your field.
6) Okay, I said five but here’s a bonus tip
Sign up for Help A Reporter.com’s newsletter and get PR queries from journalists looking for sources. But be sure if you answer, that your pitch is on target, short and sweet and do not send attachments. Include contact info in your email and links if needed.
