Implementation

Posted on07. Dec, 2010 by .

The dictionary defines: carry out, accomplish; especially : to give practical effect to and ensure of actual fulfillment by concrete measure.   Boy now is that an interesting choice of words!

I have been thinking about this word for several days now?  Man the whole world could use a little Implementation right now!  I know that is very true for the United States.  “Carry out & Accomplish” now there is something that the politicians could try for a change?

Implementation, carry out, accomplish!  Now this is something we as Internet Marketers need very much to do.  I know for myself I have a tendency to spend my time preparing to implement and then preparing to implement and then preparing to implement, and never actually taking action on the implementation.  Sound familiar?  In the world of the internet there so many places to spend our time and not implement anything!

Time Management!

What Exactly Is Time Management?

Time management is a set of principles, practices, skills, tools, and systems working together to help you get more value out of your time with the aim of improving the quality of your life.

The important point is that time management is not necessarily about getting lots of stuff done, because much more important than that is making sure that you are working on the right things, the things that truly need to be done.

Time Management can be a very tricky thing when working from home.  Create a place somewhere, where there are the least amount of outside distractions for you, i.e.; TV; kids; wife, girlfriend etc.  You need to be focused on your work.  And that is yet another topic, you need to be in the mindset that this is work; this is a business that you are trying to grow (more on this in a later post).  Once you have found your location, make sure that you have all the tools that you need to run your business near by, so that you are not spending your time looking for things.

Ethics and the Internet!

Posted on27. Oct, 2010 by .

This is something that has been on my heart for sometime now, and I just need to let my feeling be known.  Now I am not here to step on anyone’s toes, nor do I feel that I can.  I have been involved in social media and blog monetization for about ten months now, it has been a huge learning curve, I am fifty nine yours old and have been using the internet for many years, but not for making money.  The first computer course that I took at the local community college was Word 1.0.   So I feel like I have been around awhile?  I have started several of my own businesses and have succeeded and also failed, but one thing I have always tried to do is be as honest and ethical as I can be.  A quote from my dear diseased father that I always remember is:  “You meet the same people going up as you do coming down”.  With that said I am becoming more and more aware of a lack of ethics on the internet.

Business 101

I have owned several of my own businesses, through my life.  And I think that because of this I can speak to the topic that I am about to address.  One of the things about owning a brick and mortar business is that you can tangibly see the location where you conduct business.  You can go there and feel that you are in your location and ready to conduct business activities.  You have the mindset that, I am at my office and I am here to do the things that need to be done in order to pay for the location that I am working from.  To pay the light bill, and rent or mortgage to keep the doors open.  This is one of the driving forces that keep’s us business owners moving forward.   I am sure you can see where I am going with this?

I attended a very special horse training event this weekend put on by Pat & Linda Parelli.  Now you are properly thinking why do I want to know about horse training anyway?  Well just hang with me for a bit and I will explain.  I was invited by an old friend from Portland to attend this event at our local Epxo Center. I didn’t even know that he had interest in horses; I knew that his wife had a horse, but that was about it?  Well they came over Friday night and sent the night and we had a great time catching up, it had been a couple of years since our last meeting.

We were up early and off we went to the Expo Center!  When we arrived I was surprised at how many cars were in the parking lot.  Well once we got inside there were people milling around everywhere, from what I understand there were over two thousand people there! [...]

HubzeCards

What is all the buzz about HubzeBusinessCard?

HubzeCard is the up and coming technology for maximizing your Social Media efficiency.   I have been following HubzeCard for several weeks now and I must say that I was apprehensive about the new concept; it is currently in beta test mode and has yet to be released to the public.  There has been quite a bit of buzz on the facebook groups that I belong to.

Last night I attended my second webinar on this new concept; and I must say that this is going to be a huge help in time efficiency for us Social Media folks.  Let me give you some ideas as to how this system is going to work.  First of all this will be a personal electronic business card that will have your contact information (If you choose).  The whole electronic business card will be totally customizable to your personal preference.  You will have complete control as to what is on your HubzeCard and what information that you would like to share.  One of the benefits discussed was the ability  to create a database that we can access from any internet connection to find people and they will be able to update their business card as to their current location and contact information, such as for military personal and people how have moved to a new address.

The HubzeCard will be open architecture, so applications can be created and shared to benefit the entire community.  Like “widgets or plugins” in WordPress.  Also HubzeCard will connect to all your Social Media sites, and show icons that are attached to these sites on your business card, if you wish.  Another feature is to connect all your Social Media sites together in your BackOffice, so you can send and receive information in one central location.  Imagine the benefit of being able to write a response or comment and post this information at the touch of a button to the sites of your choice.  Also they plan on integrating your blog into this format!  Wow! Everything in one location, I don’t know about you but I send quite a bit of time going from site to site reading and replying to posts and messages?

Here is the best thing about HubzeCard, it is FREE!  Right now they are not charging for this service.  Eventually I believe they are going to create a premium service that there will be a charge for, and within that there will be other features.  But there will always be a FREE version also.  Here is the link to sign up for the new platform, What Do You Have to Loose? It seems like a no brainier to me?  I look forward to seeing you on the new HubzCard site soon. What a great way syndicate our content!  If you find this content valuable, please share with your friends. Click here to sign up now!

Sincerely

Tribe Syndication

THE NEXT BIG THING!

Social Media continues to become more popular all the time; people are spending more time on their computer and smart phones than ever.  The amount of commerce that is being purchased online continues to grow, if you are using this medium you are already very aware of this growing trend.  You reading this post validates the very fact that people are looking to social media for ways of sharing ideas and learning from each other, ways to increase their presence online.

“Tribe Syndication” is one of the newest tactics to achieve presence in the social media arena.  Syndication is described as:  “a group of individuals or organizations combined or making a joint effort to undertake some specific duty or carry out specific transactions or negotiations”.

So how does one form a “Tribe” in order to “Syndicate” ones content and ideas?  Face Book is an excellent start.  Let your friends know that you want to get together a group  of like minded people, to share ideas and promote each others content on social media sites.  Check out the groups and see if there are groups of like minded people that you would like to share ideas and content with.  Tweeter can also be used in the same way, MySpace and LinkedIn, all of these sites have group of people with the same interests.

Once you have formed a group of say five to seven people, then you can begin to “Syndicate” each others content.  Form a group call on skype and designate at time when you’re “Tribe” can meet regularly to “Syndicate” each others content and share knowledge to help promote fellow “Tribe” members.  This is a wonderful way to develop friendships and learn more about each other on a personal level.  Who knows what could come out relationships like this?

By having “Tribe Syndication” one of the greatest benefits is the accountability that is created!  When you meet with your “Tribe” you need to be prepared with new content for your fellow members to syndicate.  You need a new blog post, and a video to be prepared before each meeting.  That way there is always fresh content being spread though your social media networks.  And as we all know we love to put things off, this creates a deadline that we must meet in order to be accountable to our fellow “Tribe” members.

My “Tribe” gets together on Tuesday, so hence the name “Tribe Tuesday” we are on the call for about an hour and in that time we “Syndicate” each others content and help each other with technical issues that we are having.  You would be surprised as to how you can help each other.  You have knowledge that you didn’t even know that you could share just due to the fact that you have experienced an issue and solved it!

If you would like to discuss this concept further?  Or have comments, please leave them below and I will be in touch ASAP!

Blessing, Douglas
