Reviving the Spirit of Blab with Go Brunch (A Guest Blog Post By Stacy Braiuca) There’s something magical about the energy of a late-night community hangout. For those of us who were part of Blab back in 2015-2016, you’ll remember how the platform came alive after dark. Conversations went from casual to deep, collaboration flourished, and friendships were forged across time zones. Blab was more than just a platform, it was a place where people gathered to talk about everything from tech and business to life and culture.We often pulled all nighters without even realizing it. As Blab veterans many of us have been searching for something that recaptures that sense of community. Now, I’m excited to share that GoBrunch is that platform, and it brings with it a space that feels like home, the all-night diner we call The Big Happy Biscuit. Go Brunch: New Platform - Familiar Vibe Go Brunch offers something special, blending ease of use with the freedom to create open, engaging rooms for learning, collaboration, or just hanging out. What’s especially unique about Go Brunch is its emphasis on interaction. Whether you’re leading a session or simply attending, everyone feels connected, just like in the good ol’ days of Blab. It’s the kind of platform where those spontaneous, unplanned conversations can happen.The ones that start off as simple check-ins and turn into hours-long discussions that leave you inspired, energized, and thinking differently. That spirit is alive again, and it’s housed in our new virtual spot. The Big Happy Biscuit: Our 24/7 Hangout Just like the iconic all-nighters we used to...

HOW TO FIND TWITTER INFLUENCERS A Guest Blog Post By Jenna Brandon When it comes to making buying decisions, it’s rarely ads that influence our choices. All those “buy me” messages that saturate modern web space stopped impressing us years ago. Nowadays it’s honest reviews and recommendations from independent sources that rule the day. Those “independent sources” are often industry leaders whose opinions on things are widely respected and listened to. One single tweet from such person about your company can do more for your business than the most expensive advertising campaign, especially if you’re only starting to build up your audience. But how do you get this person to pay attention to your humble self? Hopefully, this article will clear things up. Keep reading if you want to become a Twitter outreach rockstar. (1) How To Find The Right People To Reach Out To!! Getting started with influencer marketing is hard if you have no idea who the influencers in your industry are. Maybe you’ve heard of one or two, but in order to build an extensive list, you need to do some deeper research. Look for influencers among your own Twitter followers What if your A-lister is already your Twitter fan? Then he/she is definitely interested in your business and getting this person to collaborate is a piece of cake!

LIVING LIFE IN THE MOMENTS A Guest Blog Post By Pankaj Narang Finally, Twitter has announced a way to share quick and interactive content on its platform with its latest update. With the rapid growth of Snapchat and Instagram, Twitter is gradually losing its title of being the “fastest social media platform”. According to the latest survey conducted by Piper Jaffray, Snapchat has become the most essential app used by teens (28%), closely followed by Instagram (27%). Twitter was at the third place with 18% of the total market share. Needless to say, with the growing popularity of Snapchat and Instagram stories, Twitter was expected to come with something new and exciting for its users. Now, you can do so much more with this remarkable medium rather than just getting to know about the trending topics nearby. With the introduction of Twitter Moments, one can narrate a story of their own using different types of content (similar to a slideshow-representation). For everyone who wants to make a Moment – starting today you can! Creators everywhere can now tell stories with Tweets. pic.twitter.com/ZJtNBoTPWf — Twitter (@Twitter) September 28, 2016 For everyone who wants to make a Moment – starting today you can!

It is extraordinary for driving organic traffic to your website or blog posts. It can also be used to promote your You Tube videos or your podcast series. It’s an amazing resource so it’s well worth taking the time to learn it’s secrets. (2) The “Twitter3030” Method This is one of my favourite techniques for gaining targeted followers on Twitter and developing quality relationships. Follow 30 People Per Day For 30 Days Rinse & Repeat Follow people that you find inspiring and most importantly follow their followers. Chances are if you find them inspiring, and you’re tweeting similar things, they will follow you too. I’ve had robust success with this strategy, so try this one for yourself and let me know how you go. (3) Follow People First This one really picks up where the last idea left off.

So, we’re going to talk today about twitter tools. Specifically the desktop experience, a PC and a Mac, for those who sit at an office desk and do the tweeting and the social media management. Next week we’re going to talk about apps, which is a totally different experience than your iPhone or your Android or tablet.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR An interview With Jane Jackson Recently I was featured on Jane Jackson’s “AMAZING PODCAST” and it really gave me a great chance to reflect on the career changes that I have made over the years. I also got a chance to really appreciate those changes that were thrust upon me along the way. I have also spent some time this week segmenting the interview into smaller themes and getting them transcribed to make it easier to listen to as your time allows. If you prefer you can follow along by reading the questions and answers. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN (2REM FM) Podcasting really is my thing and the whole idea came about out of my love of radio. Here’s me doing my very first radio show in March 1982 at 2REM FM in Albury.

TOP TOOLS & TIPS FOR TWITTER A Guide For Newbies By Kate Hartley Top Twitter Tips & Tools For Beginners (Fantastic Decoder Video) I’m a newbie to Twitter. Recently I’ve been building out the digital side of my business and I realized that I would need to harness social media in order to help to build trust around my products and the type of therapies I offer. I already had a Facebook page, so to create my Facebook fan page was a fairly simple process, but I had no idea about how to navigate Twitter nor about Twitter etiquette.

These figures are huge and mean two things: (1) That I need to know how to use Twitter effectively to make the most of belonging to a massive social media platform and (2) That among all these tweets, how was I going to get my tweets seen and even better, lead to links to my website and blog, likes and retweets?

Five Powerful Marketing Strategies Fantastic Ways To Build Your Visibility 1. BE THE RESOURCE NOT THE SALESPERSON. Twitter is about sharing information and resources NOT selling ‘stuff’. This may sound counter-intuitive but it is the essence of Social Media marketing. 2. WRITE A STRONG BIO. One that will inspire potential clients and joint venture partners to follow you. 3. ADD A PHOTO OR COMPANY GRAPHIC. There is significant evidence to prove that people who do this get more followers and retweets 4. REMEMBER THE 80/20 RULE – IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. 4 out of 5 tweets should be of value to your followers and not sales related Only 1 out of every 5 tweets should be a sales related message. 1 out of 10 however is a far better ratio if you can manage it. 5. SHARE – SHARE –SHARE (This is Twitter 101). Share great articles and interact with your followers…this is the essence of how Twitter works.

10 Compelling Reasons To Start Blogging Another Social Media Rock Star Tip From Karen Repoli One strategy that can be essential in setting you apart from other “interesting people” on social networks is creating and maintaining your own blog. You don’t have to, of course: You can channel and pour all your energy into working from within a particular social media platform – but maintaining your own blog does confer specific advantages. Maintaining your own blog helps you… 1. Cement your identity 2. Speak with authority 3. Build a following 4. Acquire subscribers 5. Constantly present your unique slant or focus 6. Become known for specific skills 7. Attract top guest authors 8. Get great guest spots yourself on other top influencers’ blogs 9. Let people hear your “voice” 10. Brand yourself with strong graphic elements or colours Your best bet is to purchase a domain in your own name but if your name is a more common one and therefore already “taken”, you can brand a blog name or add what you do to your name. Then start sharing your blog across your social platforms and get it out there!!
