Go Grab Your Facebook Name Now
Posted by: | CommentsLast night Facebook opened up ‘vanity’ names. That means that you can now have your name on Facebook like this: www.Facebook.com/christinahills
Now, as you probably realize, many people have the same name on facebook. Just go look and you will be amazed how many of YOU there are out there.
So if you want your name, you should go get it now. And here’s how you do it:
- Log into Facebook.
- Then go to http://www.Facebook.com/username
- Once you are there, it will show you the names you can pick from. And if you click on the ‘more’ link it will let you select a different name.
- Select the name you want by checking the box or typing in your full name.
- You are done!
(For example I picked ‘christinahills‘ as one word instead of ‘christina.hills‘ with the ‘.’ in the middle)
So if I were you, I’d take the 2 min now and go to this special page on Facebook
http://www.Facebook.com/username
and pick the name you want for your vanity URL before someone else grabs your name.
(Note: if you friend me on Facebook, then put down you are one of my subscribers so I know who you are)

Posted by: | CommentsHow To Strategically Grow Your Business Using The Top Two Online Social Networks
On Wednesday March 25th I interviewed Social Media Expert Mari Smith (@marismith) on using Twitter and Facebook to build relationships and drive traffic.
Online social networking sites are no longer “just for kids” or just for personal use. Giants like Facebook and Twitter have significant implications for business owners.
Facebook has risen to the top with an impressive 200 million active members (and predicted to be at 500 million members by 2011 or sooner!). In fact, if Facebook was a country, it would be the world’s 6th largest country!
Twitter currently has over 8 million members but is the fastest growing social network; traffic has grown over 600% in the past 12 months. An estimated 5-10 thousand new accounts are opened per day. And yet, even with its 140-character simplicity, Twitter can be infinitely more complex than Facebook to understand how to use effectively. There’s a right way and a wrong way and you need to know the difference.
During this information-rich session, Mari will share proven strategies for generating significant online profits using social media, including:
- The most effective ways to establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry.
- Simple strategies to powerfully leverage your visibility and brand.
- How to drive a flood of traffic to your website and blog.
- The top two secrets for getting rapid high search engine ranking.
- Proven ways to identify and attract your top paying clients.
- How to build a team of lucrative Joint Venture partnerships.
- How to use Facebook in just five minutes a day and still yield huge, measurable results.

Go Grab Your Twitter Name
Posted by: | CommentsTwitter and Facebook are the hottest social media tools out these days. They certainly are the largest. (although really blogging is even bigger). In any case, many folks have a Facebook account, but not everyone has a Twitter account.
Twitter is a micro blogging platform that lets you create a ‘post’ of up to 140 characters. That’s about 2 sentences. It’s a lot of fun to do, and you can do it from your cell phone.
If you are one of those folks who think Twitter is a waste of time, think again. Twitter has roughly 55 million visitors a month. That’s a lot of traffic. You can use Twitter to drive traffic to your websites and/or blogs.
So if you are not on Twitter yet, then at least go open an account and grab your name.
You would want someone else to own your name now would you?
