Hi !

Happy Valentine's Day!


I hope you enjoy the official "day of love" with someone you love.  Whether it be your sweetie, your family or even your pet.  Share your love with others.

There's so much I have to share with you today.  I'm not sure I can get it all in this newsletter...but I'll try. :-)

Are you using Facebook yet?  I am utterly and completely addicted!  Just ask any of my 750 friends on Facebook and they'll tell you.  Now of course, there's no way I can know all of these people personally, but I know about them and about their business and if I need to communicate with them, it's as simple as sending a message to them. 

It's not that easy in the "real" world.  If I want to talk to the publisher of a local paper it wouldn't be that easy to just pick up the phone and have them answer my call.  Yet, I can send a message and there's a 90 percent chance that they will respond back.  I have included a link below to take a survey on just what you know about social media and what you would like to get back from it.

What about Twitter?  Do you use it?  Do you even know what it is?  I'm hosting a Free Webinar for the first 50 people that sign up to answer the simple question, "Why Should I Use Twitter?"

So take a look below for two opportunities to learn more about social media. 

Virtually yours,


Terri

Free Twitter Webinar


Through my program, Tasting The Internet, One Byte at a Time, I am offering a Free Webinar for those people who just don't get Twitter. 

Maybe you have an account on Twitter and have logged in only to see what people are eating for lunch or that they are walking the dog.  You can always tell a Twitter-newbie by their post! :-)

You will learn Why you Should use Twitter and how it will significantly impact your online presence, whether you are building a business or just for personal branding.

I will share 10 reasons to use Twitter and I will also share some incredible tools that will make it easier for you to manage in the Twitterverse.

You'll learn the Do's and Don'ts of Twittering and how you connect Twitter to your Facebook and LinkedIn Profiles.

The Webinar is scheduled for Thursday, February 26 at 2 pm EST.  Click this link to register.

And did I mention it's free??
