Twitter Mistakes To Avoid

Twitter can be one of the best things you can do for your blog, brand or business and at the same time, Twitter can be your biggest waste of time.

Trust.. I know by experience that Twitter can EASILY become addictive and suck time out of your day haha

That’s why you need to have your end goal in mind from what you want from Twitter. This will help you stay focused and on point and not get sucked into wasting unproductive hours on Twiitter.

To get the most out of Twitter, knowing what NOT to do is just as important as what you NEED to do.

Some mistakes are small and some are bigger

Follow Friday Top 10

I’m really happy to here that people are using this list to meet and connect with some great people on Twitter, and seeing their follow count go up

Since that was the goal of this post, to get great people I see everyday on Twitter, in front of other great people I see everyday.

Think of me as your or you’re “Twitter Friendship Middle Man” lol

I’d also like to say that it really is about the relationships you make on Twitter, now does that mean you have to talk to ever friend every day? 

NO! NOT AT ALL!

We all have great friends near by that we don’t talk to each and every day, and that’s fine, the relationship is still there, regardless.

Write A Blog Post Step By Step

You know how important content is.. Right?  You also know that Google has tightened it’s belt on content and ranking only the freshest and best content.. Right?

Knowing all this I wanted to share how I write a blog post with you.

I’m also going to share an embarrassing secret with you.

I spend a lot of my time writing blog posts or writing blog post ideas as they come to me. Some make the cut and some don’t and some sit half done. For me whenever an idea hits I write it down and I add what I want to cover and a title then I leave it be till it’s time to write a new post.

I’ve been able to create a nice step by step plan that has worked really well for me.

First I’d like to cover how you can get yourself on this Top 10 list since people keep asking me.

5 Finger Social Media

We all know how important Social Media is and we all know that it HAS to be a part of your blog or business marketing game plan.

What I want to talk about is people trying to over complicate or over learn what social media is and how to use it.

Social Media at it’s core is very simple..you share and get shared and talk to people and you do that on a regular basis.. there you go… you are now a Social Media expert!

So wanting to write something to help you understand SM easily, I was thinking of a way to explain it as I was staring at my hand when.. EAREKA! 

Your Hand John?…It’s a  good a place as any for a post idea…Right?

What came to me was how you can learn all you need about Social media in only 5 Fingers.

Popular Blog – How You Can Build One

A few weeks back a blogger friend asked me how I got my blog to be popular and at the time I really didn’t have a real answer, all I said was hard work over time. Which was true, I worked my blog hard everyday doing many things to get noticed, I’m not really sure which one thing or combination of things are the cause of building a popular blog.

So I decide to put this post together with the things I focused on in the beginning that has got me to where I am today.

What I will say is when I started I was everywhere, I commented on 50 blogs a day, I posted my posts on numerous blog sites, I tweeted out every post, if there was a place to put my blog url or post urls, then I was there

Being a stubburn Portugee that doesn’t like to fail help motivate me haha
