Are You a Small Business in Start up Mode?

As I travel the net talking about my new Twitter book, I meet many new people.

There is no doubt that you should be usin social media to form more meaningful connections. You can join them all, so you have to pick.

Here's some criteria that will help

1. How easy is it to join? If it just takes a minute, join as soon as you see it. At the very least, you have another URL, profile and photo up on the web
   
   
2. Do they have a following? Major social media networks have 10 or 100's of millions of users. Makes sense to have a profile on the largest
   
   
3. Are they targeted to your niche? Some groups are better because they are small. You won't get the wide reach, but you will have access to people just like you.

For instance, I like This Small Biz Startup network If you have a small business in start up mode, you will get a good sized group of people like you to network with

The Whitlock Heritage in Printing and Publishing

Here's some evidence that I didn't just get started recently in publishing and book marketing.

The Whitlock Pony offered operators a 20-40% increase in productivity.

We Whitlock have always been into giving you better results.

The truth is, I have no idea how I might be related to the owners of the Whitlock Prinint-Press Manufacturing Company of Derby, Conn and even if I am, there is no direct connection of printers ink in the veins of my father, grandfather or anyone else in between the Pony guys and me.

On the other hand, I have been in sales, marketing, persuasion and influence for all of my life, did some print work and owned a computer printer business for 23 years.

You can spin things just about any way you want... but I hope I don't get calls for Pony repair.

My Kidneys Are Safe: Visiting Tajah in South Carolina

If you follow my Twitter stream you've seen lots of tweets about Tajah, my daughter who lost a kidney back in May.

So I was a bit worried coming to South Carolina today after attending the Internet Marketing Big Seminar in Atlanta over the last few days. I had to wonder whether they were stealing kidney here.

All looks good though. Tajah is back at work, healing well and getting better.

Here's a photo to prove it.
