I am always looking for time saving ideas. It occurred to me that when I registered for Clip Marks there was an application that connects it to Twitter. Whenever I find something useful on the Internet I can ClipMark it and then share it with Twitter - then the next step is to connect my Twitter account to my Facebook account with the Facebook application that is in Twitter. Now whenever I ClipMark something it gets posted in ClipMark, Twitter, and Facebook. This means that as I browse the Internet I am furthering my social networking without even thinking about it - what a deal. I am going to be looking for ways to further the circle of social networking sites that are in the loop.

I have been using LinkedIn for about 4 months. At first I was not too excited - but I did not get the big picture at that time. Now LinkedIn has become an actual resource in my business. It provides so many things like:
There were a few drawback though -
These were my main complaints - but no more.
Check out this cool new tool that can be added onto your LinkedIn account. It is a contacts manager that allows manipulation of your LinkedIn contacts so they are way more useful. Here is a post in a forum where I learned about the Tool.
There is a run down of the benefits of this tool - all very positive and the tool is free!

Are you using Video yet? If you are not you should be. I am just starting to incorporate video into my marketing. I uploaded my first video to YouTube in February. The one drawback to video is that once you have filmed and edited your video, then you have to upload it and write a description and tags over and over again. I HUGE time waster. Depending on the size of the video and your Internet connection it could take well over 10 minutes per video upload - and there are so many different places to upload your video. I just found a free tool for uploading videos once then posting it to 14 different video sites. The tool is TubeMogul.com
As I said it is free to use - it dose take a while the first time because you have to have an account at each different site. However once you have entered the password information TubeMogul saves it which makes future posting a breeze.
Tube Mogul also tracks the views of your videos so you can see where the views are coming from and how many different times they get viewed. You can also track other peoples videos (competition?). I have found other paid services that will submit to more sites, but for free - what the heck - why not give it a try!
Here are a few other articles on TubeMogul from the sphere.
Tim Reha discusses Internet Video Distribution with Mark Rotblat … - TubeMogul is the first online video analytics and distribution company serving publishers large and small who need independent information about video performance on the Internet and automated upload to the Web’s top video sharing sites …
Where in World is Your Video Playing? TubeMogul Readies Global … - Emeryville-based TubeMogul, the platform that allows video publishers to use one log-in page to upload to over 15 different video sharing sites, is expanding its analytics services. A number of content creators and shows use TubeMogul …
TubeMogul adds Howcast as a video distributor - Video distribution and analytics engine TubeMogul of Emeryville, Calif. (DEMO 08) today announced it added Howcast, a new instructional video production and share Web site, to its arsenal of sites where it automatically uploads videos …
I would like to hear other peoples experience with this service.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my clients to the concept of promoting your own website to bring in new customers and revenue.

Do not mistake free traffic as poor prospects. These are people that are actively looking for your product or service - your target market. Renegade University will teach you:
