All eyes are on FB as it launched its App Center and focuses on mobile strategy. So what else have you been working on this past week? I have had the most interesting week: trying to locate posts others send me while trying to clear my Inbox as I prepare to go on a short break. I wonder how things would be if we are more mindful about others' Inbox. Here's a video that'll explain what I mean. It's something that everyone can implement. And you can easily apply the same principle to emails, FB Private Message, Invitations or SMS ... Time to get more done with less? It's about relevance and value, not quantity ... Did I say this will be a really short email? Check this out It works both ways. And let me know what you think! Louisa Joining me here? Lots more regular goodies here https://www.facebook.com/SynergyMarketingPro www.Twitter.com/CoachLouisaFri, 18 May 2012 10:13:25 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/lcmainlist/66..U/h/_New_Post_How_much_are_you.htm Hello! How much are you paying for that free blog site? Or that free email marketing system? You nust already know this: Your Freebie Has A Price Tag In some cases it can be quite a hefty sum especially if you are paying in time and effort. But they generally get the job done and you do get quite a bit of mileage out of the free accounts so why not? It's free. Because Your Freebie Has A Price Tag Freebies serve a purpose. If we use it as the full-fledged functional tool then we are not going to get the benefit we want. So what, don't use free stuff? Of course not! I use tons of free tools and I recommend them to you too sometimes. But you need evaluate your case and know when to upgrade and when to test because Your Freebie Has A Price Tag It's pouring and thundering here, I best send this off now! Talk soon! Louisa Did you join me earlier today? Wed, 09 May 2012 09:31:04 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/lcmainlist/O48vk/h/_Friday_Read_Do_you_promote.htm Hello! So how have you been doing? Seems so much happened since I last wrote. I was at MKIS today and a big, tall 11th Grader said to me Today is a Happy Day because Nayati is back with us. Perhaps I will write about this in a post because this is very close to heart and we can also learn many lessons from how social media was used in this case. Ok so back to our newsletter. If you rather not receive our tips and resources you can scroll down and click on unsubscribe. We respect your decision. This coming Wed, I will be running a US time friendly online training on LinkedIn. I've received your emails asking me if there was recording and if I will be holding a Training in a US time. And this is it. So if you are in the US or Canada and have not attended my training on LinkedIn then check this out. I've had some great feedback on the training and if you wonder why I am talking about LinkedIn then here's why. LinkedIn is said to be 277% more effective for lead generation than Facebook and Twitter. It is the world's largest professional networking site and today it went shopping and bought slideshare. a leading content sharing community If you are a professional and you want to promote your expertise or service, then try LinkedIn. If you wonder if you should promote or market yourself then read this post. If you want to join me this Wed, sign up here! Ok then until next time, Take care and virtual hugs! Louisa You joining me this Wed? I feel like I am writing a flow chart here. But you get what I mean! Fri, 04 May 2012 09:40:12 -0400http://archive.aweber.com/lcmainlist/4m8r./h/Mid_Week_Greetings_and_some.htm Just finished a 45-sec video [you can click on that bold text] that I thought you may be interested in. You won't see nor hear me in this video. I did not say a word, and no it is not a silent movie. Video creation is getting easier everyday. I made this with just photos and I did not have to rehearse any script, no powerpoints either! I put this together very quickly, it is rather 'raw' but I like to know if you think this will work. And as usual any feedback is appreciated. Oh, did I say that you may find yourself in the video? If you have more photos, post them on the Facebook Page and you may find yourself in more videos! Here's the Vidoe with you in it (if you were in one of my workshops or seminars) OK, just a short mail to touch base. Enjoy the rest of your week!

So I have taken down the free LinkedIn Online Training and look forward to speaking with you in either the subscribers getting training or other free training for those on my list! This past weeks I have been speaking with graduate students on campus and high school kids at International School. I noticed a shift in the kind of questions raised. Instead of asking why social media the focus now is how do I run a successful campaign? or how do I get myself equipped so I can be an in house social media person? In one graduate class, one question asked was how do I use Social Media to help me know my international clients better? And the quest for Training and Workshops in Social Media continues. Where do main stream corporate employees get the needed knowledge and experience to begin using Social Media correctly? And how do you choose which Training or workshop to take? Here are 3 points you can use. If you rather not receive our tips and resources you can scroll down and click on unsubscribe. We respect your decision.
