Social Media Blogs to Check Out

Since the focus is on social media/marketing this month, I thought I should point out some of the blogs that I've been reading that are geared towards providing information, tips, and resources to help you boost your social media presence: Chris Brogan - Chris is a speaker and co-founder of PodCamp and pretty much knows every facet of internet communications. Whether it's videoblogging, podcasting, or blogging, Chris knows it all. I like what he says in this post, The Target Is Not the Weapon. "In social media, the tools aren’t the same thing as reaching a goal. If you’re a marketer looking to use these tools, then make the first goal to learn how the community moves, listen to its ebbs and flows, and then make the next goal to try starting conversations." I also like to read Brian Solis' PR 2.0. Brian is the owner of FutureWorks PR and offers a great deal of insight on the convergence of public relations and social media. Also, here's a great blog I discovered today: The Social Media Marketing Blog, written by Scott Monty If you liked this post, please consider making a donation... Discuss this post in the forum...

May Newsletter Focus: Social Media/Network Marketing

The May newsletter edition of Online Business Resources (free subscription) focuses on Social Media/Network Marketing. It's a topic that is growing in popularity across the internet and Twitter is sure feeling it because just about every blog I read this week was talking about Twitter! I invite you to join the Online Business Resources group and read the newsletter if you're a newbie in internet marketing and online business. Within the May newsletter you'll find links to a few free ebooks that cover social network marketing. For those of you who are "vets" when it comes to social media, you'll probably want to read Dan Schawbel's post, Claim Your Brand Name on Social Networks or Suffer. Dan uses Seth Godin as an example and offers some tips on what you can do to protect your brand online. Oh, and by the way, if you already have social networking profiles, I invite you to connect with me through any of the sites listed below...
