6 Tips to Increase Work Productivity

Have you ever sat down to your computer in the morning, looked up and it's already past lunchtime?  And you still haven't gotten around to half the things you know you were supposed to do? Where did the time go? With work at home businesses, telecommuting and general internet based tasks on the rise we need to be more efficient, disciplined and organized to get in a full productive day. Here are some tips on how to manage your day that have worked for me. 1. Create a Daily Writing Routine This is the difficult part and may require you to flex that discipline muscle a little more than you're used to, especially when you are just getting started with your blog. Writing 3x a day, once a day or even once a week can get challenging over a long period of time. But once you've established a daily writing routine it gets much easier, I promise.  Like anything else you do repeatedly, you get used to it. You will continue to blog because you want to and because you like it, but you will also get in the habit of doing it and will write no matter what. 2. Use a To-Do List And/or a ...

Top 10 Interactive Tools for Your Website

When I talk to folks about Web 2.0 the impression I'm left with is that they know that it's a necessary area they have to venture into but they don't know where to start.  Words like Twitter, Facebook , social marketing are being used more and more.  But where to start? Well first things first, like I mentioned in "An Internet State of Mind," you need a website or some sort of online presence.  And with Web 2.0 technology you can turn your website into a robust marketing tool.  But in order to create an online marketing strategy you have to know what kind of tools you have at your disposal. Now I work primarily with WordPress, an open source blog publishing application...Ok, in plain English, it's a platform or foundation on which you build your website.  It's the framework of your building.  I like Wordpress because it's user-friendly for non-techies and it's widely used.  This is great because there are a ton of plugins and applications that are built to link with WordPress. Now having said that, there are other popular platforms out there and although the following interactive tools are based on Wordpress, you should ...

Customize Videos and Keep Readers on Your Site!!

Psst!  I'm gonna tell you a secret! This is one of the BIGGEST PITFALLS that beginners and seasoned veterans of social marketing stumble into. THEY VOLUNTARILY SEND PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEIR SITE!!! How is this possible?! Well every time we embed or share a video from YouTube, it links back to YouTube!  We send our hard earned traffic to someone else's website! Now sometimes it's unavoidable since YouTube is one of the most popular video sharing sites out there. But for all my self made videos and screen captures, I use Viddler.com.  Viddler allows me to upload my video, color customize my player and insert my own logo.    But most important of all is that I can change the permalink to track back to my site vs. linking back to the viddler site.  Here's a video to walk you through the process step by step.
