POPSHow do you Tweet? Use New TweetGlide!
I have been a long time fan of #TweetDeck but I recently switched over to using #TweetGlide. It is very similar in function and look to TweetDeck but with one very important difference: You can use it as an Internet Marketing Tool. Read below for some of the major features but pay particular attention to the section on "Earning Money" with TweetGlide. It looks like there are three ways to make money with it: 1. Refer it to others and get affiliate commission. You can get this only if people purchase the Premium Package. I will explain this later but for now, know that I immediately bought one of these. 2. Sponsored Ads/Tweets. For every five tweets you post, about anything, you get one ad/tweet posted in a special sponsored twitter account. No spamming your own list or any other list. It goes into a special tweet group. People click your ad/tweet and you make a sale. Simple! Become a premium member and get 500 to 1000 paid ads/tweets automatically into your account. 3. Referal

POPSCultural Wisdom Seth always asks some interesting questions and in this post he wonders who, in the organization, communicates the cultural wisdom to their customers. He defines cultural wisdom as a form or "sophistication" about current social norms, values, fashions and design. It is obviously more than just that but it is hard to define and it is harder to utilize in your work with your target customers. The sad part is that your customers will assess their level of trust vs mistrust of you and your company if you don't try. How do you determine what is cuturally wise? How do you communicate it? Who is responsible for the interpretation and delivery of cultural wisdom in your organization?

POPSMake money with Twitter Is it possible? Although the following clips indicate some excellent strategies for making money with Twitter, I think it demonstrates that it is still a social capital game. I don't think that direct sales on twitter, like a newspaper flyer is going to be accepted by twitter followers. Look for returns on your social investment from indirect, sideways sources. For example, I got a recent promotion to a high level web site committee in my company because of my social media know-how. I wasn't looking for that but it has increase my worth with the company and I get to have some social media fun during my normal work day. How cool is that?

POPSThe Truth About Social Media Deep down, I wish it were true too. I wish that simply joining up with a social media site, like twitter or facebook, would result in a new direct sales market. But it doesn't. The truth, as you can read in this insightful article clip, is that social media results in relationships. The good news is that building followers may result in a "sales army" that spreads the word about your ideas and products/services. The bad news is that they aren't necessarily your customers. I would suggest anyone trying to get into social media to increase their business, first read "Whuffie" by Tara Hunt. If you consider "whuffie" to be a form of social capital, replacing the concept of money, then you can be reach. You have to be able to think in terms of "bartering" vs. direct sales. What are your thoughts on this and how have you been able to increase business with social media? Let us know.
