Greetings!
 Congratulations to everyone who beat my high score at Penguin Swing (in my Christmas email): - Angela Ellis 315.8 (first attempt)
- Nick West 319.0 (but took about 20 attempts)
- Lesley Morrissey 320.6 (but also lots of misses and skating along to just under 100)

Harry new year
This information was written by Alan Stevens, and originally appeared in "The MediaCoach", his free weekly ezine, available at www.mediacoach.co.uk.
Five magic spells that will get you noticed on social media:
1) Listenium
Take time to find out what is being said about you, your brand and your sector of the market. Set up alerts, monitor chatter, and use software tools such as socialmention to get a feel for what is going on.
2) Engageamus
Get involved. Join the debates, and offer your advice and opinion, without over-marketing yourself. It's all about engagement, and being part of the community.
3) Assisto
Be helpful, without thought or expectation of something in return. Either offer direct advice, or point to somewhere else where good information can be found (not necessarily your website). If you promise to find something out and report back, make sure you keep your promise.
4) Regularius
Visit your favoured social networks often, and become well-known there. If you post blogs, send out ezines or upload podcasts, make a commitment and publish regularly.
5) Expertorum
Become known as an expert in your niche. Do your research, demonstrate the techniques you recommend, and stay ahead of the game by sheer hard work. Find a small niche and own it.
OK, wizard, you can take your wand and go now.

On a personal note
In last month's issue, I said that my book had made it to #9 in its category on Amazon, within just 48 hours of being launched. A bit later, I spotted it at #8! For proof, see this screenshot: Here's how I did it.
"What I've learnt from your book will probably be the best education for starting up a business that I'll ever get. It was just a delight to read. And I think the cover is just a work of genius!"
Carmen Manzano
A business studies student says it "helped her get ahead of the pack".
A graphic design agency uses it as a checklist.
And a marketeer bought it as a gift for her clients.
What's more, book 2 is already on its way...
