Welcome back!
I was chatting with my friend Gary on msn today and he asked me what I was up to…
Out poured a huge long list of things I was trying to do which made me realise why I was feeling so overwhelmed d’oh! That coupled with the worry that I may forget something (and of course add 10 more things) often paralyses me and I find that I get stuck on silly details and feel incapable of making decisions in case it’s the ‘wrong’ one.
I consider Gary to be a member of my Dream Team – people around me who I can talk to who will listen, encourage, challenge and inspire me. These special people make up for my weaknesses, put me in touch with others who can help and share their knowledge and wisdom – challenging me and pushing me through my blockages (my sister Nicola is relentless with me for this – I am SO lucky to have her on my team).
So where was I? Oh yes. Gary, is an internet marketer too (or information publisher is the new buzz phrase I hear) and runs LFConline.com so he listens to my mutterings then slips into the conversation something to help and/or distract me *lol*
Today he gave me two top tips:
1. Sign up to www.rememberthemilk.com to manage tasks and not forget anything (hopefully)
2. Set up a fan page on Facebook as a great way to market virally for free.
This is better than setting up a group for lots of reasons but the major one I saw straight away is that you can contact your fan base quickly and with NO restrictions on the number of people you are messaging (unlike groups). Fantastic for publicising events, letting your INTERESTED fans know of new products and providing easy interaction with forums, comments etc. And it’s easy for your fans to invite all their friends to join too and each time someone joins it goes on their newsfeed with a link… think about it…
