“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.” ~Marie Beyon Ray

Just because we think that we are perceived in a certain way, it doesn’t mean we are. More often than not, our view of ourself doesn’t exactly match the view others have of us. If we don’t recognize this, just think of the damage we can do!
Now lets think about this from the Socal Media world. If in the real world we are not seen as genuine, how do you think social media magnifies this? In my experience, it only gets worse. In person, we can read peoples nonverbal communications, but on the internet that goes away. So what can we do to ensure success?
To start, ask those closest to you to be honest and evaluate you. Be willing to accept the answer whether good or harsh and use it to improve yourself. Next thing to do is think about your online message and figure out how to be certain that your message is always taken in the best spirit. Be a craftsman of your brand. Finally, surround yourself with people that uplift and honor you and your message.
Don’t ever assume anything! You know what that stands for.

Welcome to fantastic Friday Facebook Tips. Each Friday we will be releasing a hint or tip designed to help you get the most out of your Facebook social media experience. Make sure to subscribe to our blog via the RSS button to the side of these posts so you don’t miss a day. We welcome your comments as well!
Facebook Tip #1
Use a good profile picture. Do not use one of your kids, your dog, you in a group, or a sunset. If you are using Facebook for business, you need to make it easy for people to recognize you. The purpose is creating relationships with people, and we don’t form relationships with stuff, we form them with people. So many people I have seen use a half of their face, or something meant to be cutesy. Do you want cutesy or do you want something that will benefit you long term?
Taking artistic license to what Tom Harris (xn Marketing) has previously said, “Heaven forbid that someone should find you (and recognize you) on Facebook, because they might be reminded why they needed to call or email and do business with you, and what a hassle that would be.”
How is your profile picture representing you?

So here is the rest with our undercover video footage from NYC. We recently travelled there to meet with Gary Vaynerchuk and Seth Godin. As we were ready to leave town, we figured a final stop at the Empire State Building was in order, so we go the car out of the parking garage and tried to venture downtown and find parking…well, here’s what happened:
Laughing so hard that I had tears rolling down my cheeks, Al and I decided that this was by far the best experience of the trip. It was a blissful moment for me in the letting go of all emotion to the event and having as much fun with it as we could! Our conversation driving back revolved around our fantastic marketing idea. By the time we got the car back, anything was possible, and we think the impound center should try this marketing idea:
Get your car out of NYPD impound, $185, with souvenier T-Shirt, $195. We totally would have bought a dozen.
We have so many life experiences that can be just “normal.” But, why, let’s kick it up a notch and have some FUN!!

Todays tip has to do with auto following systems. Many of us have looked for the magic bullet to create large follower numbers rapidly. For those who are still looking, I’d just give up and get down to business and build it organically and put out good content. Twitter has really cracked down on the auto follow / unfollow applications so I would recommend just doing the work. Remember why you are doing this in the first place! By the way, Why are you doing Twitter?
