Man Jumps on Sand

My New Year started off pretty well, with a few of my plans already taking place, including a change to my Twitter follow strategy. Apart from that, I am also going to outsource more of my work so that I can focus on profit-making activities. I will also continue to review my social media marketing strategies over the coming few months with some experiments.

In this week’s Weekly Biz Buzz, I have a long list of blog posts to share with you but each and every one of them deserve your time. If you are looking forward to some fresh tips that you can apply to your business, this Weekly Biz Buzz is for you.

If you are immersed in the crazy world of social media, you don’t need another person to tell you how powerful Twitter has become as a marketing tool and a platform to network or to discover new connections. People use Twitter in a variety of ways. Marketers and business owners apply different strategies to make Twitter work for them.

I am on Twitter for almost two years now. I achieved a lot in terms of getting business, building traffic for this blog and I also established professional connections that I might not have come across if not because of the platform. However, stepping into 2010, I want to get more out of Twitter by switching my strategies a little, especially after getting some inspiration from Twitter Marketing: Why You Don’t Need to Mass Follow Users by Maki.

Please note that this is not a post on how you should be using Twitter. Everyone is entitled to use Twitter the way they like it. This is just a new strategy that I am experimenting. If you have your own Twitter marketing strategy to share or suggestions which I can implement to improve this strategy of mine, feel free to leave a comment below.

Relaxing and Resting on the Beach

Do consider taking a break sometimes. People around you like your family members, friends, your employees (because they get to rest :mrgreen: ) and of course, your body, will appreciate it. By the way, you are also opening yourself up for ideas by taking a rest.

How’s your week?

Beach Leader with Speaker

I failed. A ongoing project of mine failed miserably. I learned two lessons and I want you to keep them in mind too:

  • Know yourself. Do you have the financial resources, knowledge or experience to start a manufacturing business? Always start something that is within your means.
  • Learn before you start. The last thing you want happen after a project commences is to realize there’s too many things about the business that you don’t know about.

OK, enough about myself, coming up are the blog posts that you should care as an entrepreneur or small business owner.

The importance of social media is noted but what is very frustrating is when you go online to search for the right community and social media sites to set up a presence, you are going to be greeted by a thousand sites, all trying to get your participation.

Empty Hallway

Registering an account with all of them is not a wise choice because not all communities are created equal. The following are 7 Things to Consider Before Joining a New Social Media Site and I really hope that this post can help you out in doing a quick evaluation to find out whether a platform is worth your time.
