What does your business plan to get out of Facebook? Currently there are millions of failed "Business Profile" pages on Facebook, but there are also thousands of very successful ones. Most small to medium businesses use Facebook poorly, stumbling along without a clear plan and certainly not with the kind of strategy & momentum required to achieve the profitability they desire.

One of the most exciting areas of Facebook is the continual innovations happening in Facebook Mobile - especially considering that already 47% of businesses are using mobile technology to promote themselves. Whether you're looking for training so that you and/or your staff can get the most out of Facebook and stay at the cutting edge, or whether you want a company to manage the entire first phase, anywhere from 3 months to 12 months, we have many happy clients who are developing their Facebook ROI fast.

Wanting to get going on Facebook ASAP? With 700 million users, 500 million of whom log in daily, we hope you do. We'll empower you with clear strategies so you know what you're doing with your personal page, and separately with your fan page: eg your fan page is maximised to attract hundreds of "likes" by offering a free gift, give-away or discount which your fans get by providing their email addresses - so you rapidly build your database.

"If you think Twitter is an addictive, pointless waste of time, 1. you're not using it right, so go back to Facebook, and 2. wait till you've tried Foursquare." - Techworld.com

Foursquare is a location-based social networking website, software for use on mobile devices. Users "check-in" at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application. Foursquare gives you and your friends new ways of exploring your city. Incentives include earning points and unlocking badges for discovering new things.

Points are awarded for "checking in" at venues. Users can choose to have their check-ins posted on their accounts on Twitter, Facebook or both. Users can create a "To Do" list for their private use and add "Tips" to venues that other users can read, which serve as suggestions for great things to do, see or eat at the location. The social part of the service is in the ability to add Foursquare friends, who you can compete with for points in a weekly challenge. You can also play against other users in your main location.

Why Your Business Should Get Active on Pinterest Right NOW!

Welcome Business Owner or Marketing Manager,

As a "late adopter", I wait sometimes for years to hear positive feedback from many different people before I leap into new Social Media platforms.

Only recently Google+ finally became mildly interesting because it now has implications for both Organic Search and Google Adwords campaigns.

Linked In is great for some industries but for most it's like walking into a morgue.

Facebook and Twitter remain the platforms most worth being enamoured with from a business point of view - as this infographic illustrates: Why Your Business Must Go Social.

However the recently-published results of two years of international research into Pinterest compelled me to dive head-first into this photographic Social Media website, and I've stumbled upon things in there - ways of using it in conjunction with Twitter, for example, that are keeping me enthralled.

My clients know me as a cautiously strategic yet aggressive/ambitious social media manager who likes to build up strong follower lists for them.

However those lists don't always turn a dollar straight away, for fast (and large) ROI I focus on SEO and have seen Social Media as a medium to long-term investment in the future of their business.

Pinterest, however, is showing clear evidence that it's much more instant.

It's the fastest-growing Social Media platform for direct referrals to retailers' websites.

It's also easy to use, which is why I'm seeing it as the laziest social media platform yet. Ease of use is what makes Twitter so appealing for twitterholics, however like Twitter, Pinterest is subject to the psychological inhibitions of its users, so while as a business owner you can most certainly set it up yourself, a more preferable strategy might be to fast-track your arrival on Pinterest by having a professional social media manager set it up for you, with management of your Pinterest profile as a further option should you prefer a more comprehensive 'social media solution'.

Here's an example of a client-relevant Pinterest set-up: http://pinterest.com/thehealtharts/ - it's focussed on the types of courses this company offers, eg display boards created about aromatherapy, beauty therapy, kinesiology, reflexology, remedial massage and yoga, plus an assortment of personal lifestyle boards.

SPECIAL OFFER: Full Pinterest Set-Up including up to 12 boards with 9 images per board: $385.00

Includes:

- The boards are set up in collaboration with you & based on your business, though there will be some allocated for personal lifestyle.

- Your Pinterest profile will be connected to Twitter and Facebook for easy syndication.

- You'll be set up to follow at least 20 relevant people.

- You'll be trained in how to do instant cross-platform promoting and how it benefits your business immediately.

- Access to the latest Pinterest infographics & articles to keep you motivated & moving forward.

- Insider techniques such as How To Pin From Facebook (which blocks pinning unless you know how).

- Optional ongoing Pinterest Management from as little as $40.00 per week.

Recent Feedback Reveals Even The Doubters are Going For It

By Stewart Dawes, SEO & Social Media Lecturer & Corporate Manager

In the course of my very enjoyable work teaching groups of business owners about social media, no group is without at least two company directors putting it straight to me:

"Why?" they ask, a quizzical but pained look on their faces.

"Why do Twitter ... it seems such a horrific waste of time."

For many, whether in business for one year or thirty, the thought of engaging in superficial chit-chat that might cause them to rub auras with reams of narcissistic celebrities, even of the local C-grade Sydney variety, fills you with dread at the futility of life.

I can't help it, I go straight for the hip pocket.
