			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter marketing is a way to promote your business that can bring long term results, and you don&#8217;t even have to pay for the traffic. The Twitter marketing strategies we&#8217;ll be discussing in this article can help you take advantage of this powerful type of online promotion.</p>
<p>When you begin participating in the Twitter community, it&#8217;s important to show your Twitter network that you&#8217;re a good person to deal with and not just someone who&#8217;s throwing sales posts at them. Besides, who wants to associate to someone who&#8217;s only interest is spamming people with constant sales spiels? If you post something that could be seen as offensive to them, it&#8217;s easy for them to stop following you. Finding followers on Twitter can take some time, but losing them can take a single unthoughtful post. Be sure you&#8217;re giving your followers what they want and they won&#8217;t stop following you. They&#8217;ll watch for each of your new posts if you respect your followers.</p>
<p>Twitter marketing is such a broad field of study, and you do have to determine which of the overall parts of the puzzle are more relevant to you. What is more important for you may be much less so for others, so you have to consider your unique circumstances. Yet you do understand there is much more to be discovered about this. We are keeping the best for last, and you will be pleased at what you will find out. It is all about giving information that develops on itself, and we believe you will appreciate that.</p>
<p>The idea is to find ways to leverage your Twitter presence in your favor, so you should begin by working on your profile. Twitter allows you to include information about you or your business within your profile. Even though this might look like something simple, it does play a key role in help you build trust with your followers. You could also create a custom Twitter background to help keep your business or site theme constant. This doesn&#8217;t mean you should go overboard, as a simple logo or graphic would be fine. You can either create a custom background yourself or you can pay a designer to create a premium Twitter background for you.Regardless of which option you choose, remember that your followers will view you as a brand if you make an effort to become one.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, you want to make sure your followers notice your tweets. Your approach isn&#8217;t that important here, but make sure that they are so unique that they stick out through the many other tweets. Yet you don&#8217;t want to send out random tweets on any subject just to be noticed. This will only harm your credibility, as people expect you to tweet about your professed topic.</p>
<p>All in all, Twitter will continue to be a popular in online marketing, which will still get better over the years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does Twitter have the ability to assist you with promoting products? It sure can, but you&#8217;ll have to avoid a few common mistakes if you really want to be successful with it.</p>
<p>Avoid the first newbie mistake which is to get too personal with the people who are following you. While it is important to send randomly generated tweets so that you can blend in easier, you still must remember it&#8217;s a business. No matter what subject you&#8217;ve chosen, you should only talk about that subject and you would want to stay away from what you did at your brother&#8217;s bachelor party last night. The people following you won&#8217;t have patience for what food you like or don&#8217;t like, or about how much you drank last night. They will be interested in a product that helps them with a problem they&#8217;re having. You can of course send a few fun tweets, just as long as they&#8217;re relevant to your niche. If you happen across any media, such as a video, that is funny and is within the subject you&#8217;re dealing with, you should tweet about that. While you&#8217;re not solving any of their problems, per se, you are giving them something fun which will give you a reputation for someone who&#8217;s fun and interesting. This helps in a big way because people get to know the real you, and yet you&#8217;re still within your target niche. If you want to let others know about your personal life and what movies you like, etc., you can always create your own Twitter account as long as you separate the two.</p>
<p>We have included a few basic items about Twitter marketing, and they are essential to consider in your research. But there is so much more that you would do well to study. Nonetheless, you will discover them to be of great utility in your search for information. It really should not need to be said that you must conduct closer examination of all pertinent points. So we will provide you with a few more important ideas to think about.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t leverage your list of followers in the best way possible, you&#8217;re making another Twitter marketing mistake. You can&#8217;t expect your followers to directly sell your products for you. The idea is to use the followers you already have to gain more. How can this be done? It&#8217;s just a matter of getting your followers to re-tweet your best tweets, a simple task! It isn&#8217;t a complicated request.This means that each of your followers who does this will be sending your tweet to their own followers, which is why this is an effective viral technique. Your influence on Twitter can grow rapidly this way, as when new people read your tweets they may start following you. If you don&#8217;t ask them because it makes you uncomfortable, you are wasting this possible benefit. You don&#8217;t have to be concerned about making such a request, as it&#8217;s not really a big deal. As you can see from this example, there are ways to quickly increase your reach on Twitter that don&#8217;t take much work.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re too stuffy, you&#8217;re not going to do well on Twitter. In order to reach out to people you will have to be more social in your approach and create a strong relationship with other Twitterers. This shouldn&#8217;t be difficult as there are many ways to meet people on Twitter. You can ask people questions, let them ask questions of you and you can give advice for free.</p>
<p>In summary, Twitter marketing isn&#8217;t very difficult if you work towards avoiding such common mistakes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Digg is a social media site where people submit pieces of news/content that are voted by the community as good or bad. The more votes or Diggs a story gets, the more popular it becomes. In the following article we shall be discussing three unique tips to help you drive targeted traffic to your site or blog using Digg.&nbsp;Need a way to save on power? Then check out this <a href="http://www.waterlessurinalsupplies.com.au" target="_blank">Waterless Urinal Cubes</a> page</p>
<p>First and foremost, if you want to get a high degree of exposure to your site through Digg, you need to build a strong foundation by creating an appealing profile.<br />Don&#8217;t think that this step is insignificant because the others users will definitely go through your profile to learn more about you. If you put in the effort to make your profile attractive, it will most definitely attract more users and hence get you more Diggs. You don&#8217;t really have to complicate things here but just keep them as simple as possible. Your profile should speak to the other users and let them have a sneak peek into who you are what you do. In a way, it also helps you strengthen the bond with other Digg users, which ultimately helps you in the long run. <br />Be very careful about the content that you decide to submit to Digg. It is foolish to think that you can submit just any kind of content and it will end up on the front page. It is very important that you put your attention behind submitting only the highest quality content that will be well liked by the other members of the network. When you send content in to Digg people are going to notice your history and explore it for other things that you have submitted in the past. If the stuff you send in gets buried all the time that won&#8217;t look good. You need to make sure that the content you submit is good before you send it in or all of your efforts will have been no good.&nbsp;Need a way to save on power? Then check out this <a href="http://www.waterlessurinalsupplies.com.au" target="_blank">Waterless Urinal Cubes</a> page</p>
<p>A major common mistake is digging your own submissions: don&#8217;t do it because if you do, you&#8217;ll get in trouble within the Digg system. If you want to make it to the front page with things you have created yourself, you should have someone else submit your content for you and then you can Digg it. It might sound simple enough but if you overdo it, you could raise some red flags within Digg and then you won&#8217;t gain anything. In conclusion, these tips should help you get started in using Digg to help you build your site or blog. There isn&#8217;t any magic that you can weave that will get you onto the front page of the system in just one night, you need to make a concentrated effort on a regular basis and take consistent action.&nbsp;Need a way to save on power?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">These days, social networking is growing in popularity thanks to sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. It is bringing in a large amount of change in people&#8217;s lives by changing the methods in which they use to talk and think. Businesses as well as people must realize how effective it is to socialize on these websites. It is essential that as a company, you totally concentrate on building up your brand and take it to the next level by using social networks to your advantage in the best possible manner. In this article we will explore some of the ways in which your company can use social networking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Always be current and stay on topic. When people surf the internet these days, they are on the lookout for news and information that can help them, keep them entertained and to help them remain informed. This means you should incorporate all of these things into your networking efforts, and you also need to show your prospects that you care about them and their issues. Keep them up to date with what&#8217;s going on with your niche, and always make them aware of news items as they happen. You will seem more genuine and you will also instill more trust in your prospects. After all, your entire aim when you do this is to get more prospects and customers, and to get people more involved with your business, and this is the prime way to do it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Don&#8217;t drag along your communication when you&#8217;re interacting with your customers. These days, people do not want to waste their time, so don&#8217;t try to make things hard for them. Your intention is to provide targeted information for your clients without their getting bored or confused. This is why your communication has to be crystal clear. When you are brief, your prospective clients will not be overwhelmed with too many choices. One great way to get this done is to pay attention to the objective. Try to provide the core of your message instead of maker it longer than necessary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3) If you want to make the most out of your social networking efforts, you won&#8217;t want to forget about SEO. You can optimize almost all content for the search engines and that&#8217;s what matters. For example, you can include your keywords on a Facebook fan page, and that page is likely to get a high ranking. Or you can even optimize your Twitter messages to get more exposure for your tweets. This will help you get more prospective customers and will help you get better at social media networking after a while. Not only that, but you need to ask yourself who wouldn&#8217;t love free traffic?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You now see how you should handle social networking if you have an online business. Success with networking online doesn&#8217;t mean you should be doing complicated things or taking a complex approach. Rather, you need to focus on being who you are, and you need to focus on your goals when it comes to your networking efforts, while remembering how to be ethical with all of your marketing ventures. Keep in mind that the online world is forever expanding, and that means everyday there could be new opportunities, and you only need to seek them out.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://socialmediajam.com/social-bookmarking-share-your-world-forget-search-engines/">Social bookmarks</a> are a great promotional tool. They provide many readers with access to a wide variety of material. This article will explain how you can use social bookmark sites to promote your blog and increase your traffic. Use the information below creatively in a way that fits your particular blog or website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://socialmediajam.com/social-bookmarking-managing-your-social-bookmarks/">Social bookmarking sites</a> contain many links to a wide variety of sources. You can make use of these sites as a promotional tool, but you&#8217;ll need to offer something that attracts readers despite the competition. The way to do this is to have great content. If you lack great content, stop reading now, or at least suspend the process of advertising, to improve it. You want to attract readers that will return to your blog in the future.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Use your current readers as a gauge for quality. Have them give you honest feedback If they tell you your content is poor, do not get defensive. If the content is not good, you should start by improving it. Handle the most important thing, the content, first. Then move on to marketing tactics like social bookmarks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have an entry or two that you think are particularly fine, you can submit them to social bookmark sites on your own. Doing so will expose your work to many who wouldn&#8217;t find it otherwise. The danger in doing this is that many writers submit out of a desire to gain traffic, while their content is too weak to be attractive to readers. Realize that readers have a number of options and that they can be very critical. Submit your best material.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As there are many sites to which you can submit material, there&#8217;s no reason to limit yourself to only one. The more sites, the better your exposure will be. This will result in a maximal stream of readers, and will also improve your odds of being found via search engine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can also ask your readers to submit the best of your entries. This will ensure that only the content that is actually appealing to others will be submitted. As writers, we can sometimes be overly biased towards our own work, and therefore we have a difficult time pleasing unknown readers. This will help to deal with that difficulty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can get started with improving and advertising your blog now. If your content is as good as you feel it can be, start spreading the word in various ways including <a href="http://socialmediajam.com">social networking</a>. If not, make improvements and then move on. This will ensure that your reader will follow your blog by returning. This is a great way to keep readership high, as they return and new readers will also come.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Twitter for Real Estate Business &#8211; The Next Level</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Promote  your real estate business online and take it to the next level with  Twitter.  Marketing  your real estate business using  Twitter is an  effective way to drive traffic to your <a href="http://chicagoshomesforsale.com/" target="_blank">Chicago homes for sale</a> website in the quickest amount of time.</p>

In  fact, you can use Twitter without having to pay a single penny. Yes, its  free for anyone to use.   By using it you are not only given a chance   to promote for  instance   your <a href="http://www.utahhouses.info/" target="_blank">Houses for Sale Utah</a> website for free but you can also build relationships and make friends  with other users.  Start making new friends by introducing yourself to  other users.   This is a great way to win their trust and begin selling  your houses to them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Interacting with them by replying  to their comments and tweets is a  great way  to be able to gain more followers and make new friends in  Twitter.    For you to get a better response in your tweets you have to  make them feel important as well.   It is also essential for you to  update and send interesting and informative tweets on a regular basis.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">To get the best out of Twitter, you have to learn the right use of  Twitter advertising.    It is just the right place to be when it comes  to marketing your business seeing that Twitter is considered to be one  of the highest ranked websites today in the internet.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you maintain a Facebook page? I sincerely hope you do, because Facebook is a fantastic instrument for attracting traffic to your page.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Here&#8217;s a few tips to get you started</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because Facebook has become such a fierce market instrument businesses ought to start to think of their Facebook page as a &#8220;second home page&#8221;. Facebook has a lot of features that can help you connect to people through your friends. Using the messaging system, the events calendar, and the news feeds you can expose your brand to a significant swath of of Facebooks 500 million users.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some practical steps you can take to improve your facebook presence and drive traffic to your business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Take some time to choose a good name for your page. Once you decide commit to it. Changing your facebook name is not unlike changing your business phone number. It makes it harder on your friends to refer people to your page.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A good name for your Facebook page is the most important consideration. This is not a Search Engine Optimization strategy, it&#8217;s about marketing. You don&#8217;t want to use a name that&#8217;s just stuffed with keywords. That doesn&#8217;t work &#8211; it makes your page&#8217;s name too long and it looks like spam to your fans, which means they will likely hide it in their news feed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember that a good name is not generic. Facebook hates being played. In fact, Facebook has been disabling updates for generically named pages, killing their ability to connect with fans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Don&#8217;t get greedy.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Use your company name in the page title and don&#8217;t be misleading.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Use the Info tab to your advantage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At this point I need to address a common misconception about Facebook. You won&#8217;t ever get a significant SEO, or &#8220;Search Engine Optimization&#8221;, benefit from your Facebook profile. External links are obfuscated making backlinks from facebook useless in passing &#8220;page rank&#8221;. Facebook works very hard to keep link spammers off their site, and this is a very effective way to do that. The real marketing strength of Facebook isn&#8217;t in it&#8217;s SEO potential. It&#8217;s real power is it&#8217;s popularity. Facebook has become so large that it&#8217;s become an outstanding networking tool. Rather than worrying about the search engines, make your focus using the site to attract new customers and keep existing customers engaged and excited about your product.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That said, however, there are a few things you can do to use Facebook to help the search engines pay attention to your website. Facebook has a lot of &#8220;domain authority&#8221;, and anyone who&#8217;s ever gotten listed in Wikipedia will tell you that links from a high domain authority site gets a search engine benefit, even if you don&#8217;t get any page rank.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It won&#8217;t hurt to include keywords and links on the info page. Make sure to include:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Links to your own sites or other relevant resources</li>
<li>City, state, and address, which are important fields for local searches</li>
<li>Company overview, mission, and products, which become relevant when folks do product searches</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure to include your phone number and links to your &#8220;buy now&#8221; pages. Remember&#8230; over time this page will bring in prospects. Your top priority should be making it easy for your Facebook visitors to contact you, or if they are already ready to commit, buy your product.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Post direct links in your page&#8217;s stream to your website and other relevant sites. This is the real trick to getting the search engines to notice your facebook presence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are two ways to post links into your page&#8217;s stream:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Actual URL:</strong> If you enter an actual URL facebook will link directly to it with a &#8220;nofollow&#8221; tag.  This is the best way to do it because the link goes straight to your site. Try to use an actual URL wherever possible.<br />
<strong>Attach Link:</strong> Attach links seem really cool because they automatically pull down all kinds of cool information from the page you&#8217;re linking to, including a thumbnail image. This method gives you the option of changing the anchor text of the link. The only problem is that the link does not go straight to the destination URL, but rather through a Facebook URL. The search engines won&#8217;t be able to follow them properly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Get fans to comment and like content in your stream to strengthen intra-Facebook linking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Facebook links a fan&#8217;s name back to their Facebook profile page when they comment or like content in your Facebook page&#8217;s stream. When these comments and likes are indexed, Google will see more links between your page and your page&#8217;s fans and will view this as a stronger bond.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Facebook can be a valuable ally to both your website and your firm. With a Facebook page your firm becomes visible to a huge user base. OK, it will take a little time. You&#8217;ll have to do a little creative planning and you&#8217;ll have to actually build and maintain it, but in the end your online visibility will be stronger.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Every day hundreds of people join Twitter and begin tweeting about their lives. Are you one of the millions who are taking advantage of this service? If not, you should be. Twitter is an incredible site which that has too many uses to name. Some members choose to communicate events and feelings that are part of their everyday lives. Some post jokes to their Twitter account.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Internet marketers use Twitter to promote their businesses and the products that they sell. They use it to bring in traffic and increase sales. Twitter can be a useful tool for seasoned marketers and for those who are new to the business. Some of the ways that Twitter can be used to expand your online business are as follows.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Products like Twitter and <a href="http://www.bookmarkingdemonreview.com/synnd-review" target="_blank">Synnd</a> are great for promotion. Do you remember when using a press release service was the best method for introducing your new projects and promotions to the world? Maybe you wrote paragraphs upon paragraphs about your business and tried to submit them to all the media outlets that you possibly could. You may have even faxed them to all of your local media outlets. Twitter can give you this service, but you have to use just 140 characters or less. If you learn the proper hash tags, you will see your press releases circling through thousands or millions of followers. If 140 characters isn&#8217;t enough, you can include a link to a more traditional press release.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe your company is hosting some kind of event? Want to make sure people attend an offline event or online sale that you&#8217;re thinking about offering? Promote the event utilizing Twitter!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Twitter&#8217;s viral nature means that your followers can re-tweet your original tweets. This will help you reach more people and build your audience at the same time. If you learn how to use the hash tag feature properly, you could bring in hundreds of new followers and event attendees. This is great for your business because all of these people will consider buying what you are offering.  If you&#8217;re in the dating niche, why don&#8217;t you start tweeting some <a href="http://freeonlinedatingtips.net" target="_blank">online dating tips</a> to your followers?  If you like Match.com, tweet about <a href="http://freeonlinedatingtips.net/match-com-vs-eharmony-on-which-site-will-i-meet-mr-right" target="_blank">Match vs eHarmony</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A great way to increase interest in and create new traffic for your website is to post links to it and your projects in your tweets. If you&#8217;re linking to your blog, you can sometimes increase the revenue you&#8217;re bringing in through advertising (especially if that advertising is based on traffic performance). You can even send people straight to your promotional ads and pages from twitter. You may also direct people to your landing page so that you can acquire their email address and sign them up for future campaigns. If you want to bring in traffic targeted for your site, what could be better than linking it through twitter? There are a lot of reasons to use twitter to help you with your internet marketing endeavors. To talk with people about what you have to offer, your business, and just converse with people about you, twitter is an excellent way to do that. It is a brilliant means of keeping the conversation going with your consumer base. There really are so many more great reasons to start using Twitter than there are to not. Today&#8217;s marketplace is seeing many businesses and individuals using Twitter to increase their communication with one another, so you do not want to miss out on the trend. You will be thanked by your business for using twitter.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Twitter isn&#8217;t very new but at the same time it&#8217;s not an old platform. It&#8217;s starting to catch up really fast with many celebrities jumping on the bandwagon. Savvy marketers quickly found ways to use Twitter to their advantage and created methods that would quickly grow their businesses. Twitter can be a piece of cake, if you know what you are doing. Make sure to follow this simple method and you will <a href="http://tweetomatic-profiteer.makinreviews.com/">Boost Twitter Profit</a> in no time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One way to elevate yourself above the majority of Twitter marketers is to be helpful. It&#8217;s easy to get lost in the hype and start promoting to your Twitter followers or even worse, start spamming them. But you have to remember that the Twitter community is made up of real people who are looking out to create a relationship with others. Focus on communication and your followers will stay with you for the long haul. Also, remember that you can&#8217;t do any hard selling . If you make recommendations it better be something good. Using indirection and approaching Twitter with give before you take mentality will work wonders for you later on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Twitter has become a spam free zone and if you come off as one then you will be exposed by the members. If the Tweet is unwanted then don&#8217;t send it. So the best way to make this work in your favor is to first create a relationship with them by helping them out with their needs. You can even promote affiliate products indirectly by recommending them to the people who need them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By approaching indirectly you will have far more success than those taking a more direct approach. Don&#8217;t screw-up your opportunity to make big money with Twitter, come in with the knowledge that it is all about relationships, and you can have thousands of loyal followers. If you want good results then play by the rules.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Offer as much value as you can to the Twitter community. Giving to the community isn&#8217;t all about proving how knowledgeable you are, you can share other people&#8217;s work that you found to be helpful. Sharing valuable content for free does more than establish you as an expert, it also leads your followers to believe that you have their best interest at heart. Promoting other people&#8217;s material is an excellent way to begin a relationship that can turn into a business deal. Lots of joint ventures have been established this way. This will also encourage other Twitter marketers to share your tweets with their followers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So it&#8217;s almost like helping each other out with the promotion. Make use of the best <a href="http://tweetomatic-profiteer.makinreviews.com/">Twitter Marketing Strategies</a> to capture your followers attention. Try and customize your account if you can. Don&#8217;t make it look like a page filled with advertisements in the background. This should be the place people can find out more about you as an individual. Take advantage of this chance to show Twitter users who you really are. Add a human touch to your profile so that people know that you are real.  There is nothing very difficult about using Twitter for marketing. Once you&#8217;ve mastered the fundamentals, there are many possible ways to use it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people have this fear of using Twitter for marketing, especially because they&#8217;re not sure of how to go about it. It&#8217;s actually easier to figure out once you begin, taking it one step at a time. Soon you will realize that driving traffic using Twitter is simple and powerful. So stay focused on these tips and stay clear of some of the common errors we&#8217;ve mentioned. If you want to find success with Twitter marketing, learn as much as you can about it and start practicing. So better start taking advantage of <a href="http://tweetomatic-profiteer.makinreviews.com/">Twitter Profit Opportunity.</a></p>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Understanding the concept on social networking &#8211; </span></p>
<p>When I was a kid, you know back in the stone ages &#8211; there used to be commercial for Breck Shampoo -<span style="font-style: italic;"> &#8220;and you told two friends, and they told two friends, and they told two friends . . . </span>The idea was that happy customers would share their experiences with friends, who in turn would pass it on. Ultimately, this became known as viral marketing.</p>
<p>Fast forward to the 21st Century, and this is the premise behind using social networks for marketing. You post something, your friends read it and pass it on to their friends. Great! Marketing all done! Well, not exactly.</p>
<p>The problem is not every thing you post is compelling enough to repeat.  Trust me, it&#8217;s not.</p>
<p>In order for social networking to work as a marketing medium for you &#8211; what you post must be interesting, have value and be compelling to pass on. Let&#8217;s go back to the ladies of Breck. If Becky simply told Jan and Sue <span style="font-style: italic;">&#8220;I went shopping for shampoo, today,&#8221;</span> then Jan and Sue would have nodded approvingly (actually Sue would have rolled her eyes) and the subject would have quickly moved on to Jan&#8217;s new Dorothy Hammill do. But instead, Becky told the girls that this new product left her hair soft, shiny and cured split ends and they should try it. Now this was different &#8211; the value? soft, shiny hair and a <span style="font-weight: bold;">call to action</span> &#8211; you should try it!</p>
<p>While your fan base may put up with your posts about what you had for breakfast &#8211; they really want to know what is in it for them. Soft, shiny hair? Sign me up! Emerging technology that solves all of my business problems? Where do I invest?</p>
<p>The next time you post to Facebook or Tweet on Twitter or what ever it is that you do &#8211; makes sure it&#8217;s worth sharing. Oh, and seriously stop sending me Mafia Wars, already!</p></div>
