Advertising on Twitter - Automated & Free

Hi there again folks. A short and sweet post for you today as I am very involved in a new information site for you all to come too and get to know me and some of the information and ideas I have for building a strong online home business and some of the tools I use which helps me stay organised and busy with enjoyable challenges and lots of fun along the way.

I have been pretty busy again with some Twitter applications. If you haven't guessed I am a bit of a Twitter addict, not that this is a bad thing. There is so much information shared, I am also following some very down to earth people who like to have a laugh and don't sell every tweet they post. Remember, you don't want to be a pushy sales person, it will only do you harm in the long run. Not saying that I do not advertise my home business on Twitter, I do, but not constantly and neither with the affiliate programs I have to help monetize and create cash flow for my home business. Every now and again to keep up the message and certainly not as a Direct Message in reply to someones follow.

Anyway, I have digressed a little from my main topic today. Free advertising on Twitter. Yes it is available and it can be automated so you can place specific ads at times to suit you or your perceived target audience. Twittertise is a great, FREE, program available for you to do automated advertising and also will provide reports on your posts. There is a little work involved. You will have to complete each ad one by one, but what I do is reuse an ad that has worked on differening times or days and do this in advance to stay ahead of my scheduling. Cut and Paste has been my main focus in setting up my scheduling, but if I can advertise to an audience while I am out and about or overnight, why not? Of course you can get other scheduling software for Twitter, for a price, but I like this as it fits into my advertising budget at the moment - Free is a great price!!

Yep - short and sweet like I said! Hope you find Twittertise as useful as I do, or share what you use to advertise automatically.

Cheers and Live Life Now!!

Communicating with customers/clients with their Buying style

Whilst I have been busily reading and researching and putting into practice my network and attraction marketing, (more information and blogs to come), I have remembered some of the sales training I had when in sales management, with customers and their specific buying styles.

With Network or Attraction marketing we are specifically looking to attract the right customers/leads to us who want our information or products. But wouldn't it be even better if we could communicate with them, whilst just talking and listening to their needs, wants and goals, in their particular buying style? In my opinion well - YES! What I am delving into here is not anything new, but when I started to pick up on customers buying styles and even friends and family, communication was definitely better and was specific for the customer. I know that there are several buying styles within the population, so I am just going to touch on the three 'more' dominant groups and from there, list some of the word clues to look for so you can go off and practice on your friends.

The three buying style groups I have worked with, from my training and with my employment and now with my home business and the leads I talk to, are Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. I am a kinesthetic person, and how I describe it - a touchy, feel(y) buying style. Visual and Auditory buying styles are little more self explanatory. The Visual person will 'see' what you are saying and the Auditory will like what they 'hear'. So what does this mean for you and communicating on each persons level, in terms of their individual buying style? Well it is all about putting up your verbal clue radar to firstly find out which of the three you are talking with, and then using the words that sit in each group and that individual relates and responds to the best. So from the lists below, and of course these are just a short list of the many and varied key words you can pick-up on and in turn use, keep practicing and listening in every conversation you have and you will find it easier and easier to start communicating with your clients, customers or leads in no time.

Visual Words - Aim, Bright, Brilliant, Cloudy, Draw, Envision, Glimpse, Inspect, Notice, Visible

Kinesthetic Words - Absorb, Bend, Cool, Electric, Grab, Link, Play, Point, Support, Steady

Auditory Words - Announce, Boom, Converse, Discuss, Express, Hear, Listen, Noise, Tell

So remember, listen to your conversations.Pick up on the verbal clues, and there are many many more words that can be used for each group. Then add them into your answers so that you are communicating with the same buying style as the buyer/client. This will in turn prove a winner in your conversations and any communication.

If you would like to add to the lists please point, express, or show me in your own post below. There is also much reading available on the net so go forth learn more and communicate even better than you already do!!

Have fun and of course - Live Life NOW!!!

Old Sport - But still Popular

Wood Chopping - Something I have always enjoyed watching!!

Yep, I am a bit of a sports fan have always been and will more than likely always be! I like the high profile sports, AFL (Aussie Rules Football) - Go POWER!!! - Basketball (Which I played for many years even only being 5ft nothing in height), Tennis (I played this too!!! Whoo Hoo), Cricket and some other well advertised and popular sports. But I am also largely interested in the smaller, and in some cases, lessor known sports, which in their own right can entertain a crowd.

One of these lessor know sports, well not really lessor know in Australia, as we have had many world champions of this sport, is Wood Chopping. I first saw this sport when I traveled from the Barossa Valley to one of my first Royal Adelaide Agricultural Shows. Agricultural shows are held in all capital cities in Australia, and I like to explain them as where the country comes to the city... as well a lot of stomach churning rides and other variety of entertainment, and exhibitions. Since seeing or experiencing my first viewing of wood chopping competitions I have always had a particular interest in getting to see an event when I can. It is a sport for all ages, in the clip above the expert chopper closest to camera is in his 70's (A Malanda town favourite) and the chopper who starts last on 44 seconds (Blue shirt) is 23, so definitely can be for all ages. Although you will mainly see men in competition there are ladies events. (Lucky!!! not that I could compete, but good to know if I wanted to.)

The above video is from my recent visit to Malanda, small town in the Tropical North Queensland Tablelands. This town recently, the week previous, had had its own Agricultural show, which had wood chopping, but these choppers, some local and some from various other states, had stayed on for a final display for the Malanda Pub birthday celebrations.

Enjoy the clip, my very 1st upload to the net, and if you get a chance take a look at this old, but still popular and at time spectacular sport live! (Check the program guide for your cities Ag Show.)

Cheers and remember - Live Life now!!!

Where can you start with a home business

Hello there all,

I have been busy trying to set up yet more web pages and content for you all to read, so apologies for not posting for a week or so. Even so I have sat back and thought about the people out there who are looking into their own home business or have just started with their business, but aren't overly sure what they could do first just to get the ball rolling and start feeling comfortable. Below is an idea which, even though only a small step can be quite important in the big picture!

Ok... You have chosen your new path in life and have decided to work from home. GREAT!!! Where DO you start! I had the same burning question myself. I guess if you could have been in the room I would have looked like a rabbit in the headlights - frozen - with no real escape plan! But I managed to move forward and get myself onto the net with a lead page, online office system, email accounts, Skype, domain names, web hosting, advertising and many social media accounts to make myself known to the world. So depending on your home business, there are certainly some things that need to be setup before others.

You will need, pretty much foremost so that you can start signing up to social media sites, a separate email account. YOU DO NOT have to, but I recommend it! Why? Well I figure your private email is for your private emails and work is for work. Truth be told I have always had a 2nd online email account, so when I signed up for things of interest, all the advertising and in some cases spam would go there and not to my private account. Of course there are many online email opportunities out there, but for business I would recommend Gmail or Yahoo as they will also help when you start using the same companies for other accounts like Pay-Per-Click advertising and so on. Most online email accounts are free to join and easy to use. Gmail also allows online chat if you have friends etc who use that system and other functions as well. Take a look and get yourself an account or 2 or 3!

Hope this helps a little or a lot and remember Live Life Now!!

Cheers
