Tweet. I was glancing at my blog traffic stats the other day, and noticed something that made me sit up and take notice – after three years, the most-viewed post on this site continues to be the opening post in my good communications planning series , with over 125,000 views. What’s more, the traffic to this post is continuing to rise over time.

If you read this blog regularly, then you know that I rarely deviate from the business topic of social media. But, there’s a first time for everything. Recently, I was approached to help with a social media campaign called the Blue Key Campaign (#bluekey). You might have seen my tweets about the campaign, its a true grassroots social campaign.

It’s been just about a month since I told you WUL’s publishing schedule would be indefinitely halted. Well… I’m back! More or less, that is… Many of you have asked, so here is what happened and how the last month went. Remember I told you I had to undergo a laparotomy (that’s abdominal surgery, where they cut into your tummy, not fun) to have a mass on one of my ovaries removed.

This is a guest post by Amy Porterfield. Selling yourself is hard. But it’s next to impossible to thrive in a world that’s hyper-engaged if you refuse to bust out of your shell and, well—brag a little. That’s right: brag. Bragging is a way to prove you know your stuff. As a good friend of mine says, “If you don’t brag with specificity, authenticity and passion, no one will ever know what a true rock star you are.” Social media is an ideal platform to carve out a niche and own y

There is no one at the other end of that phone. We all remember the United Breaks Guitars fiasco right? It’s still used as an example of gold star customer dis-service and was something that easily could have been avoided. Good customer service and a caring company could have taken care of it without it ever being more than a blip on the web.

Facebook users have been very vocal about how much they hate all the changes. Well, let’s drop a truth bomb. There are more to come — and soon — and there will always be changes. Technology is not cyclical, so it constantly updates and adapts to user needs. Users argue Facebook is doing everything but adapting to their needs, but that is the intention.

You’ve heard that social media is not just a toy, but can be an effective way to promote your business. However, it’s very possible that the last time you were on Twitter you saw a tweet from a friend talking about eating a PB & J sandwich for lunch. Or maybe your last venture on Facebook showed a post saying, “I know only my true friends will repost this in their status….are you a true friend?

The best place to build meaningful professional relationships, according to company founder Derek Andersen, is Commonred. Whether that statement is true is to be determined. “I’ve found that people are more likely to help you when you’re genuinely interested in helping them,” writes Derek in a welcome email message that all new users receive.

What is the beginning of Internet marketing for your small business? If you thought I was going to say your website, sorry to disappoint you.

No loyalty? Don't like these bargain-hunting customers? Don't blame Groupon. I have no desire for another daily deal on a pedicure, manicure, hair removal or a Lebanese Asian meal, but I am still interested in seeing what new businesses in my area are open and what they're offering. And, if the experience is great, I'm happy to continually be a loyal customer and tell everyone I know about it.

When people 'Like' a particular Page on Facebook they are expressing the fact that they want to 'connect'. Connecting with your Page does not always mean that you are really liked or people are passionate about you / your Brand / your Business. For instance people could have connected to voice a grievance as they may have not as yet got a suitable reply from your customer care, or from the number of emails that they may have sent to your office.

This post title was crafted for me inadvertently by Mike McClure, in a tweet he posted with information about a conversation I will be leading this Thursday in Detroit. It is being hosted by the Social Media Club Detroit chapter and the #Tweetea community , with the venue provided by ePrize. As I am in the process of writing a lot these days, I wanted to bounce some ideas around the room in Metro Detroit (aka “the D”) to get new perspectives and possibly some case studies.

As I reflect upon the times when I’ve felt most “effective” as a blogger (and perhaps as a human), I think it’s times when I’ve built these three things into life. Space. Perhaps it’s just me and my personality, but I find that if I don’t create space…. to reflect on life. to consider how I’m feeling. to analyze what I’ve experienced. to ponder priorities. then I tend to allow the busyness of my life determine what I do, rather than letting w

Tweet When running a community on Facebook, there’s a great reason to be careful while posting updates. We all know that conversations on social media can be seen and read anywhere, which leaves a lot of room for interpretations. Therefore, a single wall post (comments, pictures, updates) can be understood in many ways and can have some serious consequences for your brand.

I was disappointed. No doubt about it. I’ve been eagerly anticipating the next iteration of the iPhone seeing it was a 15 month window since iPhone 4. There was so much speculation as to what was going to be announced it was practically impossible to know what to expect. I thought for sure we’d see something ground breaking with how quickly the competition was closing the gap.
