My new project is NorthSanDiego.org. It’s going to be a community site for North San Diego County full of local residents, local businesses, start ups, bloggers, entrepreneurs, and really anyone else in the area.  The past few years and currently my clients have been small businesses with a low budget.  I have spent, and still do, time listening to the problems that these local small businesses go through. Now I am using that knowledge to come up with a solution and resource to be utilized. I enjoy helping people compete against the big guys anyway I can. This is where NorthSanDiego.org came...

A few days ago I was talking to Kimberly Reynolds  (Savvy Media Marketing ) about a Facebook app posting without knowing it would. It had me thinking about how much information is out there for people to see and what information companies have of yours. I have thought about this in the past and accepted it a while ago. All of my information is out there on the internet and if someone really wants to find out about me they will be able to. The thought process for me was “Well if it’s out there I might as well control what people see” and that is where the social media profiles come...

Hello everyone! It looks like I’m only going to be able to get one blog post up a week for a little. Last week I had a client/buddy that was having the issue of the Facebook pages not showing up if you were not logged in to view them.           Here’s what it is supposed to look like:   Instead it was just pulling up the Log In screen to log into Facebook and not recognizing it. However if you were logged into Facebook then typed the URL in it would show up. I quickly saw in the settings under Manage Permissions that the country restriction was not default and...

Check Username Tips Check username? Claiming all of your usernames can help you in several ways. Whether you are branding yourself or your company going through this process can help you get found online. I would recommend doing both your business and your personal name. If you are looking for a job or are in any position in a company where people are going to search your name on Google you will want to make sure you own what is going to come up. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Quora, and even a bunch of other Social Media sites come up in the search results. Personally I have claimed as many...

Following Blogs and RSS Feeds You can follow Blogs and websites by following their RSS (Really Simple Syndicate) feeds. The universal icon for an Really Simple Syndicate  is an orange background with little waves going diagonally up. You can think of it like a Facebook news feed but without everyone’s personal posts and the clutter everywhere. It will strictly be updates from the website’s blogs etc. Another cool trick is searching for the URLs to the feeds you would like to burn such as Pinterest, Youtube, Twitter, and Tumblr. Most social networks have the ability to have one. We have...

Google +1 Button The Google +1 (plus one) button has been out for a little while now. Just recently they have made more of an update to it so you are going to want to make sure that this button is on your website. When people plus one your website it will effect search results and ranking for your website. If you haven’t noticed you can +1 websites in the search results within Google as well.
