October - Well for many the cool taste of fall starts to present
itself, and the final traces of summer start to leave our lips - but
alas the next season of vibrant life and colours approaches. I had such
a great summer with the kids and in our new home in the Verdugo Hills of
California - despite the fact the last week over 200,000 acres have
burned over a 50 mile radius. I posted a picture on my blog as we had
smoke clouds that were 40 feet high behind our house.
All of this was going on while the HGTV film crew was here taping a
renovation episode of me tiling the house. I got to hang out with Eric
Stromer, then all sorts of interesting people dropped by such as Jenn
Hoffman - who appeared on Donald Trump's The Apprentice, and Carolyn
Lawrence the voice of Sandy the Squirrel on Sponge Bob Square Pants. My
blog has pictures and stories.

Social Media
for Poetry Promotions
Social media
marketing can take on many forms — a blog; a Facebook, Twitter or MySpace page;
a LinkedIn profile; or a viral video on YouTube ... to name a few.
What Is Social Media Marketing?
Some refer to this as web 2.0 and it's a form of Internet marketing used to open
channels of communication and sharing and create relationships and generate
exposure via an online community.
Social media sites allow users to become part of an online network, in which
they can blog, share photos and ideas, and chat with friends or colleagues. Many
marketers recognize the advantage of these online communities, and now use them
to target potential (and existing) customers.
And, how exactly are these potential customers targeted?
For members of online communities, it's all about who your friends know. Users
can see who friends are connected to; this raises awareness of your brand with
all who visit.
Why Market Through Social Media?
Social media marketing provides many benefits for businesses:
• Free: This new form of marketing and in most cases it is free
• Immediate Messaging: It provides instant (and viral) communication with a
large audience.
• Free Back Links: Google loves to index your sites, especially when they appear
on high ranking sites, which most popular social media are. If your posts are
search engine optimizated, you'll be ranking in no time.
• Assists Traditional Marketing Efforts: Social media marketing can be used as a
low-cost way to reinforce traditional marketing campaigns.
• Builds Your Reputation: Many social media tools allow for feedback or
recommendations from members, plus allows others to see how big an impact you
make.
• Audience Connection: Your presence within an online community
shows customers and potential customers that you are current, you are up to
speed with the latest trends, you are accessible and you are one of them.
Getting Started
For now, if you are brand new, follow me on each of the options below, open up
your own account for each, and you'll start to see what happens when you watch,
communicate and make new friends.
