In episode 2 of Social Media Mondays, Mike Stenger talks about how to set up and use lists. Lists are probably one of the single best features that Twitter has come out with (in my opinion).
What I really like about this video, is it reminds me that my Twitter lists are not organized at all. I use Tweetdeck for my Twitter app, and with a nice big screen (23″) I can have 6-7 columns open without have to side…
Below you will find a video/screencast where I go over a few things that determine whether or not I follow someone on Twitter. No, I don’t follow everyone just because you follow me. Call me a snob if you want, but I prefer to follow people that are actually having a conversation on Twitter, that are interesting to me, and are not news feeds or self promoters. Also, just because I do it this way, doesn’t mean you have to.…
Recently I have been testing a few options to make money on Twitter. I know, some of you will frown on this, but it is my Twitter account and I will do with it what I please. I used to be one of those people that frowned on sending ads out through Twitter, and I even said I would never do it. A few weeks ago, I changed my mind and decided to test a couple of services that pay…
I have read hundreds of articles on linkbuilding, most of them say the same thing. It is common to see things like go out and find forums with do-follow links and spam the crap out of them to get signature links, or comment on 50 blogs a day (I used to do this), use link wheels (not even sure what that one means!), and the most recent one I read about was link stacking. I found the last one to…
Wait! You mean I should have manners and etiquette when I interact on Social Media sites? I can’t just push myself on others as I please? Send out links on Twitter that have catchy titles but lead to a StumbleUpon or Digg page so you can vote for my article? Is it bad etiquette to schedule 100 tweets a day for links to my articles that are not fresh and new? Yes, you can do all these things, but chances…
The last couple of weeks have been busy for me due to several different reasons. One is that my season is beginning for my fence products site, and after talking to an internet marketer that I trust and value his opinion, I was convinced that the site needed to be re-worked, massaged if you will. So I have been researching different options I have to help that site since it is my main source of income.
Social Media:

Two days ago, I decided I was fed up with watching so much garbage filter through my twitter stream on my personal account (kbloemendaal). I had talked to Rob from Rob’s Web Tips, and Mike Stenger about the reaction I might get from my followers. Both said I would probably lose about a third of my followers.
At the time I had 2900 followers, so I figured I could handle losing 1000 followers, especially since most of them would be…
