Facebook’s New Groups vs Pages
I thought Groups were going away? Actually they are morphing into something a little different. Should I have a Page or a Group? That depends. Are you a “brand”? (Most people with a Page are a brand) You want a Page. Are you a kid’s swim team? You want a group. One of the …
Suggest WHY in Suggest to Friends
I have never been a fan of the Suggest to Friends Button. Nothing sounds stranger than “Your friend, Joe Schmoe liked Joe Schmoe, Social Media Ninja on Facebook and suggested you like it too.” Especially when you get more than a few of them a day. But Facebook’s new feature of being able …

I just had something incredible happen. As you know, I offered to make anyone PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All you have to do is email me your picture and I’ll make it PINK. In return, I ask that you support me for Movember by joining my team or donating. If …

How to change the Category of your Facebook Page
Dear Mike, I created a Facebook Page and it was really easy! I even put some thought into the title like you mentioned in your post. However, I was just on a free webinar on how to get 100,000 fans overnight and make a gazillion dollars and the Snake Oil* Salesman said I HAD to use a particular …

The REBarCamp Truth
Truth be told, I’m a Junkie. No, not heroin or meth. My drug of choice is the REBarCamp movement. And like any long time user, I have a love/hate relationship with my juice (mostly love). To be perfectly honest I admit there are a few issues I’ve noticed and like the Junkie I am, I’ve …
Happy 12th Birthday Google
Today is Google’s 12th Birthday! And despite it being the super power of all things interweb related stop and think for just a moment just how far we’ve come and what we might be without had it not been for Google. Yeah we’re all fans of Gmail, YouTube, Google Voice, Google Reader and …
How to title your Facebook Business Page
Often times I’m asked, “What’s the best title for my page?” That depends on the focus of your page, the engagement strategy you plan to use on the page and many other things. (you did have an engagement strategy right?) When you create your facebook business page you are presented with a box in …

Last night, the popular discount webhosting company, Bluehost went down. Down as in everything was turned off – websites went dark, no email. They are located in Provo Utah. Apparently a nearby power transformer exploded, there was a small fire and the city power company asked everyone in the …
Dropbox Rocks!
I had a great conversation with some yesterday where I casually mentioned Dropbox. It’s been one of my little secrets for a long time. “What’s Dropbox?”, said she… For me it’s a great way to sync folders across the various computers I work with or between others. Did I mention it was FREE? …

I didn’t sign up for your newsletter
I go to a lot of conferences. It’s a great place to meet new people, start conversations and solidify relationships. There’s always a lot of networking involved and I always come home with gaggles of business cards. We all do right? When someone hands you their business card, you reciprocate …
Does your FB page close deals?
Actually no. What it does do is open that door to start the conversation. That conversation leads to a potential relationship and that’s where the deals are really closed. I was just reminded of this on the spot interview I did at Inman Connect back in 2009 I think it’s worth watching …
