With 800 million users around the world, and counting, Facebook is one of today's leading destinations influencing online identity, entertainment, and content distribution. The Facebook Marketing Bible is your playbook to get the most out of the rich opportunities present in the Facebook ecosystem. The Facebook Marketing Bible was created by the publishers of Inside Facebook, the leading source for Facebook news and analysis, as a guide to growing your business, in less time, through Facebook marketing. The Facebook Marketing Bible is the comprehensive reference for marketers on Facebook, whether you're running your first test, or you're ready to maximize your existing campaigns. http://gold.insidenetwork.com/facebook-marketing-bible/

Can Facebook actually be used to bring in leads, opportunities and sales to your small business? YES! Myself and my clients do it every day. You can’t use Facebook for your business the same way you use it for your personal life – you need a clear social strategy in place before you’ll see results. This isn’t hard to do, and can easily be achieved in 10 minute sessions a few times per week. Automate your status updates, then visit your Facebook page to prod discussions and answer questions.  http://www.lauraroeder.com/facebook-marketing/

I could fill up several books with what I learned at SOBCon'07 but here's the Cliff notes version: 1) I made the  Right Choice  to Go To SOBCon '07 -- You know that great feeling you get when you have an "ah ha" moment? Ever have about 50 of those in one day? That was what it was like for me to attend SOBCon'07.  http://brandandmarket.blogspot.com/2007/05/what-i-learned-at-sobcon-07.html

Last night I gave a presentation for an amazing group of web designers and developers in Portland, Oregon. I spoke about web accessibility, a long time passion of mine. My co-presenter was Winslow Parker from the  Oregon Commission for the Blind  who has been teaching screen reading and computer techniques to the blind. He’s also a long time expert and consultant for  JAWS Screen Reading Software . He also happens to be blind, so his passion for his work is tightly mixed with his passion for life and accessibility.  http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/basic-facts-and-resources-you-need-to-know-now-about-web-accessibility/

I am so thrilled and honored that hundreds of people have taken advantage of the  99 cent sale  for my new book,  Social Media for Crafters: Covering the Basics of the Social Web . The sale was only supposed to be for a couple of weeks, but we extended it as the demand was so high. Seriously, I’m humbled. Thank you all so much for your support! However, all good things must come to an end and the publishers have decided to end the sale price as of Monday, April 25. The 99 cent sale   http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/sale-on-social-media-for-crafters-ebook-ending/

I’m often asked which content management system for web publishing I recommend. While I’m clearly biased towards you-know-what, at last there is a WordPress Plugin that can help you show others which one they should consider. My friends at  beAutomated  have taken their powerful beCounted WordPress Plugin  to new heights with a live stats comparison of how many times the most popular content management system (CMS) and web publishing platforms  have been downloaded since you visited the page. Sit there for a minute and the numbers won’t surprise you, or maybe they will. http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/counting-number-of-cms-downloads-with-becounted-wordpress-plugin/

Your heart goes pumping while receiving your opt-in subscription and while you are counting on it, you forecast how much sales you can gain from it. After gathering your email subscriptions, you try to expect something that it can lead a sale from your activity. Eventually intended for permission marketing, opt-in email is the best non-spam method to have your email marketing on the run. But wait, you do not hold someone's thinking. I have heard my friends tell me that they subscribe from various website they are interested but after few days they change their mind and remove it from their list. How sad that story could you experience similar to other complainants if you do not become careful of what you are doing. Person's mind and interest should be the focus of your marketing research.
