Notas do Editor
Do it at work, at home, on all your computers Scan old emails for good links (+++!) The better the links, the more of a resource you can be
If you have a custom email (me@amylarrimore.com), you should get a gmail account because you can pull your custom email through into gmail and you don’t need to use another client
Your website can be an actual website or your facebook forum or your blog or even your twitter page. Many of these can serve the purpose of a website so long as a user can easily become a customer when they arrive there. Having your own website is invaluable so if you can stretch it into your marketing budget, web designers are a dime a dozen on craigslist nowawdays….
You may cater to the walkin customer – but don’t snub the one that wants the convenience of purchasing in their living room! Would you deliver for the customer standing in front of you? Why wouldn’t you do the same for the web transaction?
Social media sites rank at the TOP of search engines. Getting LinkedIn, Twittered, Facebooked helps people find your business in the search engines. Sam’s Pizza website would rank on page 53. Sam’s Pizza Listing on Yelp hits page 1, #3 (with a link to the actual website)
Stop thinking about social media in terms of age. It’s maverick and John McCain was far from young.
I helped him build out the most basic of basics in blogger. (So basic, it’s a bit embarrassing now)
