Social Media: how to be consistent!Wednesday, February 6th, 2013
My clients ask me all the time: How do I get consistent with Social Media postings and interaction?
It is simple, really. I tell them: schedule yourself as a client. Just put yourself in your calendar or booking software as a client, pick a time, and then work for yourself as if you were a client you had a meeting with! Don't let your own marketing fall to the bottom of the heap!

Found a very helpful article, from Small Biz Survival, entitled, "Filtering Twitter: Going from mostly noise to all conversation." Yes please!

It can get hard to find the good things from all the weight of STUFF that pours out every day.
