Let’s Connect on Social Media Now
Posted by: | CommentsI’d like to connect with you on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
You can find me on Facebook Here: http://www.ChristinaHills.com/facebook
(hit the ‘like’ button when you get there)
You can find me on Twitter http://www.ChristinaHills.com/twitter
(if you follow me, I will follow you back)
and we can connect on LinkedIn http://www.ChristinaHills.com/linkedin
Go ahead and send me an invitation to connect.
(yes I am still learning how to use LinkedIn too)
And here’s why I am thinking of it now…
I just got back from Portland at Brendon Burchard’s studio shooting some video with my colleagues Paul Colligan, Amy Porterfield and Haley Hohengarten. We are creating this for Mike Koenigs’ Social Media Marketing Machines program.
And in these segments we are teaching about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and of course WordPress.
Then it dawned on me: I have not invited you to connect with me there on those channels. (Duh! Silly me..)
If you are not yet on any of the channels: Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn I suggest you open an account and get started.
REMEMBER: it’s more important to get going, than to get it perfect!
So let’s connect!
Your Facebook Pages
Posted by: | CommentsToday I want to talk about a technique called ‘Forwarding URLs’. If you have a Facebook Fan page, you are going to want to create a ‘Forwarding URL’ for that. What is a ‘Forwarding URL’ you ask? Well it’s a domain name that you purchase, that forwards to another domain. It’s the easy way to tell people about your websites!
My Facebook Page Photo
I have a forwarding URL for my Fan Page on Facebook. If you go to http://www.ChristinaHillsOnFacebook.com you will then be redirected to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christina-Hills/67923647824 which is my Facebook Fan Page.
I have many other forwarding URLs in my biz. I use them on teleseminars and webinars because it’s much easier to say a simple URL on a teleseminar, than give a long URL with lots of slashes and numbers.
Here is how you do it:
Twitter vs. Facebook
Posted by: | CommentsAre you a Twitter person or a FaceBook Person (or neither) ? I’m taking a poll of my readers to see which camp you fall into. Twitter and Facebook are the two largest social media platforms. Some people LOVE Twitter, and some HATE it. Same goes with Facebook. Using Social Media is a great way to connect with your audience and friends. And it’s a great way to drive traffic to your WordPress Website.
So the Question is Which do personally YOU Prefer?
Which is more FUN for you!
(not which works best for your business)
So what are you?
 Are you a Twitter person? |
 Are you a Facebook person? |
(or neither!)
Please take this short poll:

if you’d like to connect with me on Twitter or Facebook with me, just follow these 2 links

I’ll give my opinions after I get some poll results…
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)

My friend Paul Colligan did a great video on getting a Google Profile and getting your Facebook name. See it below
Facebook & Twitter Fortunes
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.
The replay has been taken down and put into the private members area of the Website Creation Workshop
