Practical Tips and Hints to Help YOU Opimize YOUR Online Presence |
Who you follow + Who follows you = Your networking experience
Imagine that someone told you about a GREAT new networking group that you just HAD to try! "EVERYone goes and there is a ton of activity!", they promise. Always on the lookout for good networking opportunities, you would probably take the time to check it out.
Imagine now, your first visit. You arrive to find the room packed with people and, judging from the volume, there really is a lot of activity going on. You enter optimistically and pull up a chair between two people. You turn and introduce yourself to the person on your right. "Hello, my name is..." Oddly, you notice that the person has not turned to meet your gaze.
She is staring straight ahead and you realize that she is talking, to no one in particular, even as you are introducing yourself!

 Helpful tips and updates...
Do you use Constant Contact? They have just added a new 'Text to Join' feature which allows you to set up a keyword that your customers and clients can text to you to join your list. The text can also trigger special deals and coupons to be delivered to the sender.
To try it, text
LMDDCC to 22828
If you have a store, you might want to post this to encourage people to sign up for your e-news while in line and to offer special deals. You could also include the info in print ads and mention it in a radio promo!

What to do when Business Associates send Facebook Friend Requests
Recently, a client asked:
"I am receiving Facebook Friend Requests on my Personal Account from people I do not know. I think that they are hearing my radio interviews and then inviting me. I would like them to follow me on my Facebook Business Page - what should I do?"
This is an excellent question! It is great that people are following up after hearing and meeting her and she is correct in wanting to direct them to her Business Page.

Adding a contact to your Constant Contact Account
There are many ways to add a contact to your Constant Contact account:
Someone can sign up on their own by using your sign up box or link - note: your Welcome letter is automatically sent to anyone using either of these methods
Or, using the 'Add & Update' Link you can:
- Add an address
- Add an address including details
- Upload data from a .txt, .xls, .xlsx or .csv file
- Connect with your Gmail account to sync your contacts
- Link to Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, ACT!, Salesforce or Quickbooks
- Install the Contact Capture tool to add addresses from your desktop
Please keep in mind that the only way a new contact will receive your Welcome Letter is if they use the sign up box or link!
If you would like your contact to receive the welcome letter but you are uploading the address yourself, you can insert the address into the sign up box (instead of using one of the other methods) and go through the full sign up process which will trigger the welcome letter to be sent!
