Facebook Timeline for your Business Page
Posted by: | Comments5 Things you must do now to get ready for March 30th
If you have a Facebook Page (also known as Fan Pages) for your business, you need to know that Facebook is making changes once again. On March 30th all Pages will be automatically converted to the new Timeline format.
Many businesses have voluntarily made the switch (check out The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur page). This is good news for you if you haven’t because you can see what others have done and use them as a model for your conversion.
Timeline is much more visual and while it takes some getting used to, I think it holds a number of advantages for businesses. If you get started before March 30th you can preview your page in Timeline before you publish it. This gives you a chance to make changes and adjustments. Read More→

A new spin on Automated Direct Messages on Twitter
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve written a few times about automated direct messages on Twitter (Should You Send an Automated DM to New Twitter Followers? and Using Twitter: Another Look at Sending Automated Direct Messages)
An automated DM in Twitter is when you use software to automatically send a direct message to new followers. I was (and still am) against them because everyone knows they’re automated and are often annoying to the receiver. They do nothing to help the receiver get to know, like and trust you better. Getting people to know, like and trust you is your main purpose with marketing.
However, I recently received this automated DM and this is the exception to my no auto-DM rule. Why? Because it made me laugh – which is clearly the goal. It is poking fun at how most people craft these types of messages and instantly made me like the sender a little more. Therefore, it did the job.
