Yes it  means staying up  late on a Friday night-after a long week…but I can assure if you do it..you will be so happy that you did! This is a very important reminder for all of you interested in building yourself as an expert online and off. So on the stroke of midnight in the east,9:00pm PT… go to your Facebook home page and put in your own name and save it. If you want to learn more about it…goto Facebook home page now and at the top of the page there are links directing you to more information.

Please please please do this.

This small step will position you first(and this is for forever). If people are looking for you in a google search..you will come up first AND  also gives you incredible SEO positioning.

Even if you don't understand what that means…do it anyway!

Take the leap as I did many years ago and take the advice of someone with a great deal more knowledge and experience than I..

I went to Godaddy and purchased elizabethharrington.com. I have thanked this person many times for that sage advice and of course so glad I acted upon it! Many people have tried to get this name (there are alot of people with my name apparently!) but I got it first…and for you with your online presence becoming increasingly valuable as more and more people "google" you..well then you can see why this is very important.

I heartily recommend you read it and implement as much as you can.

Whether you are a small local business, or even a well-known product or service, you will need to give some thought to your audience, like: who are they; how do they want to be spoken to; what messages would you want them to receive; and what are the tactics for having them interact with your message. So let's go through some of your options when it comes to social networking marketing. For more of this article go here and click on this link:
