Yep! You’ve given tune to my motivation to make sure I’m always adding value. So a seed of thought….The more we ALL do this, the more we can make the world a better place. That’s the fun I see in all the social media out there. The Tipping Point on GREAT ideas can be that much faster. Thank you!!

People will talk about your business once you get it out there and allow people to find you..its said that close mouths don’t get fed..so make something happen.

It makes sense, as you can’t be part of a conversation without actually having anything to say. No talk = no conversation, people will just move on.

Re: “This week I will finish up two more guests post for other highly respected marketing blogs that should go live sometime next month…”

I think the key thing to keep in mind here is that you should always put your best content forward (which you clearly do). Participating in other communities just for the sake of participating and doing a less than mediocre job and/or pitching all the time is a great way to end up on people’s bad side (IMO).

And now I’ll be singing that all day!

Good stuff here, as always, In particular what you say about hurdles for interaction–I think that’s one of the reasons why people love Facebook so much–it’s a one time log in and then you can connect with lots of people you know, businesses you’re interested in, and even news organizations. I see it on my blog all the time. People will read it through Facebook and then return to FB to leave a comment–I’m assuming because that’s easier than typing in their name and e-mail. It’s the same with Twitter.

That’s why I don’t understand sites that make you give your name, phone number, and the names of your future children just to leave a comment. Can’t be good for engagement.

Hey Lisa,

I sing B. Raitt songs at karaoke. This is a great one and you’re right to give them something to talk about. Making it easy for folks to spread your good word goes a long way! Thx. Giulietta

Lisa,

Like the reference to Bonnie Raitt here! Informative and entertaining. I just recently posted “Keith Richards’ Secrets to Becoming a Copywriting Rock Star.” Similar in feel to your post. I’d love to hear what you think!
