Put Your Retweets in Overdrive: Su.Pr URL Shortening Services By Stumble Upon

Pack a Punch in your Retweets

Social Networking

I’d like to share my recommended URL Shortener for Twitter.  You may or may not have heard about it.

Twitter is a micro-blogging forum. You can talk to anyone who wants to listen. It’s a quicker way to get people interested in new product offerings, contests, prize giveaways, blog posts and more.

If you’re a work-at-home mom, this is important in order to get the word out on your brand!

Because Twitter limits you to only 140 characters per tweet, posting a link to your website can be troublesome. There are several services, such as bitly.com  or tinyurl.com that let you type in the URL of any site and will then shorten it into a clickable URL that uses fewer characters.

I prefer the new service that Stumble Upon has developed.

It’s called Su.pr

I also recommended that you install the bookmarklet on your toolbar.

Benefits:

* When links are shortened by su.pr, it also adds a StumbleUpon toolbar to the tweet, thereby increasing your chances that your post will get Stumbled (more traffic!)

example:  Click through my RT and see what happens:

New YANKEES MLB Baseball Infant Baby Lovey Blanket Blue http://su.pr/2tl352 #bonanzle <for any Yankees fan!

Actually, we should all try to stumble any tweets we may find interesting. 

• Simultaneously post to both your Twitter and Facebook accounts

• There’s also the ability to schedule your tweets through su.pr  I like to schedule my Retweets for optimal traffic-time on twitter and spread them out throughout the day, morning & evening, depending on the tweet and topic.  You also won’t be spamming your followers with so many Retweets all at once.

• Su.pr adds the ability to track your tweets and see how many click-throughs have occurred.

• There is also a su.pr WordPress plugin I use – post to twitter immediately with a shortened su.pr link (instead of bit.ly or tinyurl, etc.)

Download the Su.Pr Plugin

This is just a suggestion, it was mentioned on Mashable – but I think it’s definitely one worth using.

I recently formed a Twitter Social Media Retweet Group on Google so that any tweets my followers feel are important are immediately posted to retweet.  We’re all on Twitter at different hours of the day – so it’s impossible to see what’s going on in everyone’s tweet stream!    If you’d like more information, you can visit at:

A Little Birdie Told Me About Social Media

Twitter Social Media Retweet Group

Visit this group

Free Marketing Online

If you’re an online business work-at-home mompreneur, your primary priority after formulating your crafts or service is to discover the folks that will establish that your business is a winner. Promoting your business is an immense undertaking and Twitter can facilitate in that respect.

You’ve prepared a business plan that may include article marketing, social network marketing and viral advertising. In the social network marketing section, don’t rule out Twitter.

Twitter is more than just an internet site for keeping abreast with the miniscule particulars of day-to-day living. Sure, you’ve discovered that celebrities and other people twitter relentlessly what they had for lunch, upcoming vacations and pop culture but those same hoi polloi can be learning from you about your business or blog.

Twitter is considered a micro-blogging platform. You can chit chat to anybody who cares to lend an ear. It’s a real-time method to interest the masses  in product reviews, contests, prize giveaways, frugal shopping tips, recipes and more. Twitter is free to use so you can post a hyperlink to your Twitter account on your blog or business website.

That being said, I’d like to let you know that I’m working harder to try
to build a better widget here, and help my readers to cast a wider net.

I came across an interesting site and aggregation tool that allows you to create and publish specialized content “Daily Newspapers” from Twitter Lists. Basically what it entails is:

1.  You can create a Daily Newspaper from Twitter Lists, your Twitter followers or from Twitter Hashtags thus enabling everyone to read specific topics of interest in a one page ezine format posting.

Here’s a screenshot of the page from the newspaper i recently set up:

Twitter Social Media Daily Newsletter

Now here comes the good part.

Twitter Networking Social Media Retweet Group

Awhile back I established a Google Group for the purpose of creating a “tribe” of members who Retweet each-other’s tweets.

It’s actually very simple and convenient and similar to retweet groups that are on some ning forum sites.  Only this is easier, because my members post their most important tweets to the group, and the requests are automatically emailed to the members in digest-format daily by email.

Genius, don’t you think?

Of course, like any grandmom “Who’s Been Around the Block,”  I’ve established some criteria and house rules, and membership in the group is either by invitation, or application.

Now here’s the Bonus Part!

As a participant of the Twitter Social Media Retweet Group, the members are listed on my public Twitter List @Moomettes.

The Paper.li site then takes the member’s Twitter Ids and pulls content from their blog posts to publish the newspaper.  I have no control over it.  I have it set to auto publish, and it also auto-publishes “Featured” members of the group – I have no control over.

So some members who are prolific writers might find their content listed
more frequently than others.

What I will do once the Twitter press daily news  is published,  is to once again Retweet that posting myself – Featuring some of the members who aren’t auto-featured.  Grandmom believes in playing nice.

I think it’s a neat idea! I then request that the members visit the site link, and use the Promote to Facebook button, and also the Retweet Button and do this on a daily basis.

There’s also a widget that can be embed in your blog if you choose (I
Did) and you can view it at the bottom of my right-hand sidebar.   You can adjust the size and color of the widget to compliment your blog.  It rotates member posts, and if a reader clicks, it will click through to that member’s blog post, or also will bring them to the ezine, where the reader can then click through to the member’s blog.

I’ve also created a newspaper for my own personal Twitter followers,
so if you’re following me @Moomettes, you’ll get exposure on my second newsletter:  Moomette’s Daily News.  I repeat the tweeting process to Feature members in my tweet stream.

It’s cool, you can create newspapers for your twitter followers, hashtags, and lists.  For example, let’s say Eve wants to promote all of her posts from now on with #DWE as a hashtag.

Eve can create a list, and can aggregate her posts & publish to Twitter!

If you’d like to join the Twitter Social Media Retweet Group, look on my right sidebar and it’ll take you to the sign-up information.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Facebook Friday Meme: I’m So In Like With You

A Meme for Facebook

Facebook Friday Meme – More Traffic for Your Facebook Page

Welcome to my first time participating in “Facebook Friday”. Memes are fun, as they introduce you to new people and blogs. This is a new one I heard about called Facebook Friday. I found out about it through my friend on MomDot, Shop With Me Mama.

If you don’t have a Facebook Page yet, be sure to read read my Series on Creating and Setting Up Facebook Pages!

Tips To Set Up Your Facebook Account: Part 1 – Setting Up Your Profile Page

Subscribe to my Free Newsletter so you won’t miss any of the posts!  Send it to your Mom, Grandmom or Aunt Tillie!

The Facebook Friday meme will be similar to a “Follow Friday” or other memes you may have heard about where people follow you and you follow other people. With a catch.

Here’s how it works:

If you want to participate you’re going to link up at MamaBytes. Link up to your fanpage-not your blog. If you want 5,000 friends and would rather have people “friend” you on facebook you’re welcome to do that as well. If you’d rather have more followers on your “networked blogs” page…link that up! This meme is all about the facebook love.

Remember…only “like” blogs you actually like…or want to get to know better. No “liking” back is required…and thus no guilt. If you want to “like” someone back in return feel free-but it’s not required.

PLEASE DON’T LINK AND RUN! THIS MEME IS ABOUT SHARING THE LOVE, NOT JUST GETTING IT! TWEET, SHARE ON FACEBOOK, POST ON YOUR BLOG…LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW-BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW THE BETTER YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING MORE “LIKES”. THANKS!

You can start by “Liking“ Moomettes Magnificents, Frugal New England Kitchen and Great Finds and Giveaways on Facebook!

No go visit Facebook Friday at MamaBytes and start having some fun!

Tips To Set Up Your Facebook Account: Part 2 – Adding and Organizing Friends

Setting Up a Facebook Account Series

In Part 1 I discussed how in order to stay ahead of the curve in today’s competitive society, one should have a pretty strong social networkingcircle. Part 1 covered the topic, How to Set Up Your Facebook Profile Page.  Once you have your personal tidbits established, it’s time to start adding Facebook top friends for business purposes, or personal contacts.  Using tutorial Part 2, you can add all of your business contacts or find your old high school and college buddies, as well as people you’ve lost touch with!  You’ll want to add your family, so make sure you send this post on to Mom or Aunt Tillie so she can get with the times and share her favorite recipes or recent photos of Precious with you!

Adding and Organizing Friends on Facebook

Things to consider:

• Your purpose for using Facebook

• Who you want to connect with

• What ‘type’ of friends you’ll have (business, family, friend, etc)

• What parts of your profile you want each list of friends to see

I have two types of Facebook pages – a personal page where I shoot-the-breeze with friends, and also Fan pages for my blogs.

My personal page actually consists of my online-friends as my family prefers not to have their personal posts show on my wall.  I have yet to make a page strictly for my family, but when Ido (in my spare time – ha), it most likely will be under my maiden name.  At least then, my friends from high school will know how to find me!

Notes: These steps can be completed in any order you choose. For privacy purposes, some step may not be illustrated or images may be missing details.

Step 1: Create Custom Friends Lists

a) Click the “Friends” link in your sidebar

b) Click the “Create a List” button at the top of your screen & name your list

A pop-up will open with all of your existing friends shown

c) Select the person you want to add and press enter. You can add multiple people at once by pressing the Ctrl button on your keyboard while you select people.

Important! Don’t forget to go back and set the options for ‘privacy permissions’ for this list

Step 2: Add Friends Using “Friend Finder”

The “Find Friends” option allows Facebook to scan your email address book to see if anyone in it has a Facebook account. Your request will be sent to your friend’s email for their approval.

a) On your home page, click the “Try Friend Finder” button

b) A box will pop up asking you to sign into your email account

Once signed in, you may be asked to allow Facebook to view data from your email account. If you don’t allow it, you cannot use the Friend Finder feature.

Facebook will automatically scan your address book and generate a list of people who have a Facebook account.

c) Select which friends you want to add to your friends list by selecting the box next to each person’s photo or identity. You can also switch email accounts to find more friends.
d) After you add your friends or click “skip” you can invite those without a Facebook account to join and become your friend. Simply check the box next to each person you want to send an invite to and click “Invite to Join”.

Once done or if you ‘skip’ this step, you will be redirected back to your Facebook account.

Step 3: Locate & Add Friends Manually

a) Enter a name in the “Search” box at the top of your screen & hit enter

b) Review the results page, refining your search by using filters, clicking to read more about the person if necessary. You can also narrow your results by pages, people, groups and more using the list on the left side of the screen.
c) Once you find your friend, on the search results page, click the “Add as Friends” link next to their name. Your request will be sent to your friend’s email for their approval.

In Part 3 of the Facebook guide, I’ll cover Using Your Wall. If you’d like to follow along, Sign Up for my Free Newsletter so you Won’t Miss a Thing!

Alexa Toolbar Benefits

Blogging Tips

Internet Tools – Blogging Strategies

I’ve been doing some blog tweaking lately.  Recently I’ve installed the Alexa Internet Toolbar.  Apparently it’s working out well as my Alexa rating has been steadily decreasing.  Also, I’m toying with the idea of switching to the Thesis theme, even though I’m not too good at coding.

There are numerous tools available on the Internet to assist in online business blogging.  A valuable tool that you should use is the Alexa Toolbar. Even better -  this tool is free.

If you have a blog, you might want to consider adding the Alexa toolbar to improve your stats. Theoretically, the Alexa toolbar isn’t spyware as it doesn’t retrieve any private or personal information.

Alexa blog is owned by Amazon, and ranks sites from 1 to 5,000,000 and sometimes higher. Ranking  #1 has the most traffic while anything below 250,000 and you should be getting some decent traffic levels on your statistics report. As of February, 2010 my current Alexa rating was 74,800.  This information can be used to determine how well your advertising campaigns are going and how your traffic levels are growing over a period of time. Since I write product reviews and have a PR Media Kit, I monitor these statistics and update my Media Kit periodically.

This information can also be used to determine how your fellow bloggers are doing and keep you one step ahead of them. The tool provides you with essential information regarding any site you’re looking at, including your own. If a company approaches you claiming they have lots of traffic, you can just pull up their site and review the Alexa statistics. This allows you to verify who’s receiving a significant amount of traffic and who’s feeding you a line.

So now you want to know how do you use this tool? First, you download the Alexa Toolbar as follows:

1. Go to Alexa.com
2. Click “Download Alexa Toolbar” at the top of the page.
3. Click “Install” on the next page.
Reload the page you are viewing and the toolbar will appear across the top of your browser.

If any of your readers have the Alexa toolbar installed, any time they visit you, it will help your rankings.  In turn, when you visit their sites, you’ll be building back links while helping your fellow blog buddies out.

Why not try an experiment for a month – download the toolbar and monitor one of your sites.  Once you see the data you receive and the way it can be interpreted and used, you won’t know how you survived without it!

UPDATE: As of August 9, 2010 my Alexa Rank is showing 60,198

Not At BlogHer10 This Year? Neither Am I – But No Need For a Pity Party

Choices and Decisions

Conference Education Without The Expense

While many of my favorite blogging buddies are enjoying BlogHer10 in New York City this year, I’m at home in Connecticut enjoying my family time.  As a blogger for the last 3 years, understand that while blogging strategies techniques and making connections are important, I personally believe that  making memories is more important.

My decision to not attend BlogHer10 was a love-hate relationship, and I’ll tell you why.

Having read so many posts from those who attended BlogHer over the past years, I was excited beyond belief that the chosen venue for 2010 was NYC – a mere 2 hour trip for me by train!  I could finally attend all the informational break-out sessions, and get to meet my friends in person – those that I tweet with, Facebook, regularly participate with on forums, comment on their blogs and work directly with on PR campaigns.

I bought an Early-Bird ticket.  I was one of the first to book my room at the New York Hilton.  I put up a banner and post seeking a sponsor(s.)  I mentally mapped out my trip on the Amtrak train out of New Haven; arrival at Grand Central Station, and cab ride Uptown ( I don’t do subways.)

Lunch at the Russian Tea Room – Dinner at Gallagher’s! Shopping! A chance for this country mouse to be an Uptown Girl and get out of Dodge and feel like I was in my 20′s again (OK, I’ll settle for 30′s.)

There was just one itsy, bitsy minor factor and little bug in this whole scenario – taking place August 4 through August 7, 2010.

My only grandson, the pride and joy of our lives (along with my own kids, and my granddaughter) – was celebrating his birthday and turning two on August 5th.

See where I’m going with this?

I would be missing this milestone in his life.  Adding to the mix was the fact that after said BlogHer10 ticket was bought and paid for, along with room accommodations, darling daughter planned a party. Actually, one of two eventual parties. My grandson’s paternal set of grandparents were coming down from Vermont, along with my charming son-in-law’s twin brother (I call him “the bonus”), for a backyard BBQ on Saturday that my daughter is hosting.

You may not remember “Double your Pleasure, Double the Fun” – but the twins’ birthday is on Monday, which means the two heirs and the spare will be honored at this must-attend-event-of-the-year. Take that, Chelsea Clinton.

My name would be mud with the fam if I was in New York City at a blogging conference.

I get it.

While kicking and screaming Without blinking an eye, I sold my ticket (for early-bird rate – no profit for me) and canceled my room reservation. I actually bailed on my roomie, Connie Roberts from Brain Foggles.

There was a brief stint in my life where my life was actually just that …. MY life.  My kids were out of school, and the grandkids hadn’t been born yet.  I could have gone to BlogHer then – but (always a but) – I was a newbie to blogging, and would have needed a sponsor in order to be able to afford the  airfare, ticket, lodging and other associated costs. Actually, I still need a sponsor for conference education – but that’s another post.

So I’m at home, watching the #blogher10 hashtag tweet stream, eating my heart out trying to gain insight into the relationship building and PR face-time that’s taking place without me.

You’d like me, really, you would!

Next year BlogHer11 will be in San Diego, California – taking place on almost the exact same dates.  As long as BlogHer takes place during any date covering August 5th, it’ll be taking place without me.

I’ll be attending vicariously – reading all the posts that my friends will put up detailing the Fun!  The Connections!  The Swag!  The Classes!  The cat-fights (?) The tears of joy in meeting new friends and tears of sorrow saying good-bye to new friends.

What I’ve Learned By Staying Home

I belong to many forums.  Trisha at MomDot is hosting some special events and topics on her private forum to raise the spirits of those who can’t attend BlogHer10.

Through the social media medium Twitter, I discovered that my friends A Daily Dose of Toni and Backpacking Dad are participating in a new hashtag #HomeHer10 which will enable me to link up this Pity Party post find camaraderie among other bloggers, moms and dads alike.

Isn’t the internet amazing?  While I’m not physically present at the blogging conference BlogHer10, I’m still able to learn, foster and develop friendships among my peers – perhaps even more so because it won’t be on a hit-and-run basis.

I’m a conference virgin. Perhaps another conference will come my way.

But see what I would have missed?

Happy Birthday, Slugger!

What would you have done?

If you’re not at BlogHer10 and have written a post about it, join in at #HomeHer10 and leave your link!
