How to Streamline Your Facebook Activities

I know many professional organizers who are not taking advantage of Facebook to market their businesses. Their reasoning is sound: “I help my clients to make the best use of their time and space. It just doesn’t make sense for me to waste time on Facebook or other social networks.”

Social Media

Your Social Media Profiles

Once upon a time, all you needed was a professional-looking business card and maybe a brochure. In more recent years, it became expected that even a small business like yours would have a website. These days, prospective clients want to get to know you personally, through Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, or other social networking websites.

Establishing Your Network on LinkedIn

With all the current hype about social media, you’ve probably joined a few sites simply because someone sent you an invitation, or because you heard or read that it was a good idea. Once you’ve signed up, the benefits aren’t always obvious, especially when you only have one or two connections.

Ten Types of Tweets

Last year, I was invited to be a contestant in Blog-Off II, a blogging competition to find the best social media and marketing experts.

Today I’d like to share one of the posts I wrote for the competition.

Using Facebook to Promote Your Organizing Business

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a seminar with social media business coach Mari Smith, as part of Social Media Success Summit 2010 (SMSS10). The timing was perfect, as it allowed me to learn about some of the latest developments on Facebook, and to include a few of Mari’s tips in my presentation to the Halton-Peel Chapter of POC last night. Here are the highlights of my talk.

NAPO 2010 through the Eyes of a Seasoned Conference-Goer

After losing an argument with myself about whether or not I would attend this year’s NAPO Conference, I needed to recruit a guest blogger to share the highlights with my readers, and the first person I thought of was Julie Bestry, who is a great writer and a constant source of support and inspiration to me. I think you’ll agree that reading Julie’s post is the next best thing to being there.
