What is the Facebook Timeline?

The new Facebook timeline is now official as of 3/30/2012.  The Facebook timeline layout is specifically designed to take your Facebook friends on a wonderful journey thru time where they can really get to know, like and trust you by viewing your past life’s activities and experiences.

Unfortunately, many people have waited until the very last moment to learn how to work with the timeline of Facebook.  Before getting into the “nuts and bolts” of self branding and building your “money list” with the new timeline, it is highly recommended that you first get familiar with “what is the Facebook timeline” and that’s what I’m here for.  So enjoy the free video below…

Twitter Tips for Getting More Clicks on Your Tweets

Everywhere we look now, there’s some type of information concerning Twitter; “what is Twitter and how to use it”, “how to use twitter effectively” and the list goes on and on.  However, I haven’t seen too many Twitter tips for getting more clicks on your tweets, so I’m going to share some personal tips that you can use immediately to achieve more clicks on your tweets.

 Bring Your Tweets to “Life”, Get More Clicks

By applying my tips in the above video, you’ll get more clicks on the links, in your tweets. Now it’s time to look at the power of numbers…

Using the numbers…

Let’s do some social media networking math here friends… we’ll be very conservative to say that I have 200 friends in 15 different social communities (200 x 15 = 3000 friends) right?

We’ll be super conservative this time and assume those 200 friends of mine each have 200 friends of their own (3000 x 200 = 6000). So now we have a total of 6000 friends that will potentially see my tweets.

If we achieve just 2% click rate from 6000 friends, we would have 120 new prospects visiting your blog, website, social community or wherever your tweeted link sends them. Now you know what I mean by “powerful”.

Yours in clever tweeting,
Dave D. Williamson

Increase Your Blog Traffic and Market Branding

Ping.fm, Pingler & Open Office Triple Video Training

In summary friends:

1. Its actually better to use Open Office instead of Microsoft Word when composing your post or any document when working online, Open Office does exclude all the unwanted code that many online programs are not compatible with.

Note: This is especially true with auto-responders and Feed Burner.

2.  Remember to add all the available communities you can when setting up your Ping.fm account. You will NOT need to do this with Pingler.

3.  Remember; Ping 2 to 4 links free good ‘Attraction Marketing’ messages (updates or tweets etc.) and 1 to 3 good ‘Attraction Marketing’ messages with a good valuable links per day. Use my concepts friends, they work!

Note: I recommend the following times to ping:

• Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday – Between 9 to 11am and 3pm to 6pm eastern standard time, (prospects are groggy on Monday morning and also get up later and go out early in the evening on weekends).
• Tuesday through Thursday – Between 5 to 8am, 10am to 1pm, 3 to 6pm eastern standard time, (prime time for business).

4.  Use a URL shortener like Bit.ly to not only shorten, but also track your URL links. This will tell you in the future which post you’ll want to re-ping or tweet when you do not have time to hand create a new post. All you have to do is go to bit.ly and look at the number of tweets and the age of the post, if you have a low number of tweets then re-ping the post.  I’ve personally found this tip to be very valuable and time saving.

Such a valuable post, what do you think?  If so… Share it and Re-tweet it.

Make sure to leave me a comment below.  This will create a backlink which is to your advantage and more importantly, let others know there’s “no doubt” that “we love helping others”.
