Helpful tips and updates...
Each day, I read literally dozens of blog posts, news articles and releases about all things related to social media, social networking, online marketing,
e-newsletters and industry best practices. I share the most informative and/or most useful, on my Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts daily. To stay up to date on all the newest changes and updates, please be sure to join us on those communities as well.
And for those of you that are feeling a bit overwhelmed by maintaining and visiting all these social communities, we will be offering a new training program in 2012 where we will help you determine the right platforms for YOUR goals and show you how to monitor and maintain them in 15 minutes a day!
The training program will be a combination of webinars and live sessions, designed with YOU, the timestrapped business owner, in mind.
More details to follow - but rest assured, our goal is to help YOU leverage social media for profitable growth!

Need a Resume?
If you are looking for a new position, you should certainly have your resume professionally reviewed (see Lisa Rangel at http://chameleonresumes.com for help, she is great and has had excellent results with her clients) but if you are looking for a quick way to send a resume, LinkedIn has a tool that will quickly and painlessly create a resume for you based on your LinkedIn profile info. While I would not recommend this as your sole resume, it is an excellent solution when you are putting together a business proposal, when someone needs a resume for promotional purposes or if you are submitting a speaking or teaching application.
Definitely worth checking out and keeping in mind.

Hashtags on Twitter - How and Why to use them
Thank you to Craig Chapman of CBA Empire for this great question:
"I am at a tradeshow; everyone is talking about hashtags on Twitter, how can I use them too?"
Hashtags, the '#', 'pound symbol' or 'number sign' key on your keypad, are used to aggregate and follow information on Twitter. They were created organically by Twitter users in an effort to sort and label tweets and can be used in a number of ways:

Did you Know...
You have the option to subscribe to your LinkedIn Updates and/or LinkedIn Answers via RSS feed?
To do this, go to your LinkedIn homepage and scroll down past the LinkedIn Today images. In that second navigation bar, (starts with 'All Updates'), go to 'More' - clicking on this will give you a drop down, go to 'RSS' which will open a window with the option to have your Network Updates and/or LinkedIn Answers (in specific categories) sent to you via RSS feed. You will also have a choice of feed readers.
This is an excellent choice for those of you that are finding your email box too full or that use a feed reader regularly for blogs and other content.
