We live in a media hungry world. News and tabloids are monster businesses; however sometimes the line between the two is very blurred. And whether they like it or not business and celebrities need these entities for publicity and notoriety.

Of course you also have those who try and crash the party by stealing their 15 minutes of fame via the mass media. But that is another topic altogether.

The sad reality of all of this though is that media has sometimes taken advantage of the need for publicity and basically stalk famous people for any “newsworthy” item they can find. Frankly they are hoping for a scandal. And honestly it’s hard to feel sorry for these people who bring embarrassment on themselves.

And yet then there is another aspect of this whole publicity and the industry. Many times the celebrities feel misrepresented or that only part of a story is told; or even worse that a story is made up. And indeed both of those things happen all the time.

Unfortunately the media is full of unscrupulous people who will do anything to sell a story even if it means fabricating the whole or part of a story and assigning it to their “sources”. Some celebrities have been able to restore order through law suits but slander is very difficult to prove or too expensive to make it worth it.

However the tide has changed quite a bit with the popularity of the Internet and the various outlets made available because of it. Yes, many celebrities have fancied being their own spokespersons via their own web site or social web page.

Yes more and more celebrities are using Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace to correct or prevent false stories in the media. More and more are using their own blog to talk to their fan base and tell the “real story”.

Honestly, even though it doesn’t mean anything in the sense of important things in the world, it is refreshing to get to hear an uncensored or unedited version of a story from the key people involved. Now while that does not make it true or false it does give the celebrity a chance to tell their side of the story. In fact sometimes they do provide proof of misinformation in the media.

This is quite popular among professional athletes and musicians. More and more of them are even using these mediums to make big announcements. Anything from news from their daily life or items pertaining to their craft. Perhaps their next film or concert.

The beauty of all of this is it is becoming more and more a part of the daily landscape. This means that the media will be reporting old news as this practice grows in demand and becomes well known. What?

Yes think about it. Let’s say Suzie Superstar announces her concert on her blog and it becomes wide spread across the Internet audience. Well as more and more people use the Internet for news and announcements the news reported in the traditional media will become anti climatic.

The scoop of reporting about so and so being pregnant or getting divorced will likely be less and less titillating to read in the tabloids also because the celebrities will presumably put out comments and statements of their own. The more detailed they are or the more “lies” they expose the less people will look for the news in the news world.

Of course many of the printed publishers are also jumping on line with their web pages and Internet presence but the fact is that for the first time the celebrities and public persona’s have a way to fight back against what they feel is unfair and unnecessary treatment. Practically speaking they have a way of getting their story out before the media starts theirs.

While this may seem insignificant it really is not. Of course I am not suggesting this is equal to ending world hunger or educating the children of tomorrow but that does not mean is doesn’t impact us as a society. From a practical aspect this will also impact the everyday person also.

No really. As more and more people see celebrities use the Internet to reach out to their fans then more and more people will see how the Internet can make a difference. Thus it will influence others to use the Internet in constructive ways.

A side benefit of all this can also make some of us happy. The more celebrities that use the Internet the more you may get a chance to chat with them. Via their blog or a message for example. It can happen. It’s happened to me already. I have had some correspondence with those in the celebrity world that I would have never been able to speak too in other ways. Granted that is also not earth shattering or necessary but it is interesting nevertheless.

And it makes sense. Your favorite celeb likely would feel afraid or nervous to talk to you over the phone let alone meet you in person. There are too many wacky people out there. But chatting a little via the Internet is far more appealing and very safe. Very easy to cut off the idiots.

At the end of the day this is just another example of the power of the Internet and hey be honest, you may not be a celebrity hound but there are some personalities that you may wish to hear from and it is more and more likely you can via the Internet.

Twitter is a social networking site that allows companies to develop a group of followers and in turn draw traffic to their site. Although there are thousands of people currently on twitter, developing a group of followers can not only take a long time, but it can also be overwhelming.

One of the easiest ways find followers is with mass following.

This entails searching twitter for a large amount of people and befriending them all. The idea is that for every 10 you befriend 7 or 8 of them will in turn befriend you. This compares to trying to build your own group of followers, which can prove to be a daunting task. There are many people (Including me) that believe this may get you on the twitter black list, as your profile can be seen as spamming legitimate people. This may be true, but if done correctly this is a legitimate way to not only build traffic to your twitter profile, but also build traffic results to your company’s website.

Another great way to get followers on twitter is with the use of co linking. The idea is sharing your website with another sister site, having you promote their site on your twitter account, and allows them to promote your site on their twitter account. Although some people may not actually allow you to do this, some will and if they have a substantial amount of followers, you will in fact start building a small group of people that are interested in seeing what your company has to say.

If you are still unable to build a following on twitter using these two methods, there are always web linking alternatives out there. By using other social networking sites to promote your twitter account, you are able to promote a link to your company’s website through other methods, there for allowing you to link back to the original website. This allows your website to be seen, your followers to increase, and in turn builds traffic back to the original website.

The final method you can use to build followers on your twitter account is by hiring someone. There are many websites out there that allows you to build up your followers without having to start from the ground up. This allows you to focus more on the content of your page rather than trying to find users. Look into legitimate companies that offer real profiles instead of fake ones.

If you are found using any kind of spamming techniques you may be removed from the website, so making sure that the company you are using knows twitters online policies is very important prior to signing on. Make sure you as your employee what specific methods they use to get additional followers to your twitter page. If anything sounds unsound, try another company. If in doubt use your gut feeling about the situation at hand. Finally, once you have started to collect followers make sure you update your page on a daily basis.

And the world continues to go round and round. The amazing thing is that technology continues to bring the world closer and closer. The Internet is a prime example of that. Not to mention it is at the forefront of it all in many ways.

In some ways it has exceeded projected predictions. Some of the applications have enhanced more than the area or niche they were targeted at. The Social networks are a classic example of that.

Obviously the key role the social network sites were created to bring social connections to a different level than ever reached before. Of course, in the beginning many have seen it as a crafted teeny or pre teen outlet. An adolescent “web hookup” I some people’s eyes. Making the first and loudest noise was Myspace.

It wasn’t long before it grew from the “kid’s only Net playground” to a viable marketing and social network. Yeah you read correctly, a marketing tool, one worth looking at and learning from.

In the Close up series we are putting our focus on seeing examples of what people are doing with the ideas that we are interested in applying. Today’s example is Myspace. Remember we took a look at Facebook and Twitter in Part 1.

Now this is not to say you have to have a Myspace page, no, but it is a good idea to see what social networks have to offer and how you can use them. So let’s get on it!

In my opinion Myspace is an outstanding outlet for musicians. So as our first example let’s use a random musician and their web page. First up is http://www.myspace.com/katevoegele. Go ahead a pull that up.

Now, one really great thing about Myspace is that it has been around for quite a while now and the do it yourself lay out choices are a plenty. In fact there are sites that have been created to the customizing of Myspace sites. So when we pull up Kate Voegele’s Myspace page we are seeing her touch, or her people’s touch.

One common feature however on every Myspace page is the “Add to Friends”, and “Contact Me/Send Message” options. Now these are very important on a social site as you want to build up your network so many others will then have a chance to learn about you. For a musician like Kate that is paramount. And as a result she has been very successful in promoting her music through Myspace.

You will also see a place to view photos and videos which is very easy and beneficial to do. She also offers a music widget box. That is also a great tool for musicians to promote themselves and their songs. You can also use your widget to showcase other artist’s music that you enjoy.

Notice as you scroll down she features her shows and her own blog. Myspace also allows you to advertise links. You will see how she takes advantage of that and promotes her music and merchandise through banners. This is a valuable tool for you also. Whether you are a musician or have another business, be sure to feature your links and display your links or your affiliate links on your page. This of course works regardless of it is a Myspace page or another social network page.

Just to demonstrate that it is not all about music check out http://www.myspace.com/walmart_myspace. And then you have this example http://www.myspace.com/heinzketchupbottle. Both sites are examples of how a die hard following can lead to big things.

And then you have the official style pages like http://www.myspace.com/gibsonguitarcorp on the corporate level or http://www.myspace.com/appleipodsny on a store level. And then you have “small” businesses at http://www.myspace.com/laptopbaby. Or something like http://www.myspace.com/bobstarwebdesignsis another example.

In fact take a look at the variation of how they use Myspace for their marketing. I thought bobstart had a truly clever and eye appealing delivery, a nice use of flash and imagery. They also give you the adequate link to their main web site. The great thing is they have enough eye candy to deliver the message as well as the right mix of information. It is not too much and it’s not too little, very simple also. All of these are essential and very useful. They are words to live by.

Now with more emphasis on business you also have the social business network sites http://technorati.com/ and http://www.linkedin.com/. A simple example is http://technorati.com/people/BevyHost.

We can discuss some of the specific features of these sites in future articles.

Okay so the more familiar phrase is climbing the social ladder. But for today’s discussion we are going to review the use and the benefits of the social ladder, more specifically the social network that has exploded on the Internet scene.

From individuals, to celebrities, public figures, to corporations, we have seen the bandwagon of using social sites become a necessity in promotion, marketing, networking, and just getting your “name” out there. And why not? It is very successful. I just got an electronic memo from the creator of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, saying they have surpassed or reached 350,000,000 users! Kudos to you Mark.

Anyhow the question is: are you using the social network sites? It isn’t just a trendy thing to do anymore you know? Although I am shockingly amazed at the amount of people who ask: “what is Facebook?’, or “Myspace”. Or “what is a Tweet?” Are you one of these people lagging behind a bit? (LOL)

Well our Close – up focus today is going to remedy that. By taking a look at some actual sites on these sites, we are going to examples of what they are and how they are used. It will also give you an idea of what you can do with them.

Disclaimer time: Listen up my friends. Remember this is not an advertisement for anyone. This is simply examples of what people are doing and a “model” that you can learn from. It is also proof that is successful and effective quite frankly.

Anyhow, let’s start by looking at http://twitter.com/bevyhost. Yes our Twitter site. As you take a look see at our Twitter site I want to explain something to those who have never been to Twitter. The use of Twitter and the general lay out is the same for every single Twitter page. Now that does not mean that every Twitter page looks exactly the same. The layout is the same.

You have flexibility with the background and color combinations. Note that the title of your page is prominent and you can, as we have, put your logo or a photo next to the name of your page. Under the main section, basically in the center of the page is a scrolling page. On the left side of the page that you can scroll up or down is a series of brief messages which are called “Tweets”. Each “Tweet” can be a maximum of 140 characters. You can use those “Tweets” to interact with other Twitter members and/or promote your site/business. Which you should be doing if you’re not already!

In the scrolling section and in the right column you will find a brief bio along with a person’s name. That is usually the person managing the Twitter page. Also most pages offer a link to their site of interest. Back to the “Tweet” section on our (Bevyhost) page you will notice that we wisely use a number of our “Tweets” to highlight reasons to visit Bevyhost.com. And other sites we wish to direct people to.

In your case you too would highlight your business and any other affiliate or partner, or maybe just something of interest to you. But you get the general idea. But just to get the flavor check out:

• http://twitter.com/ComcastSports
• http://twitter.com/CALISTATOOLS
• http://twitter.com/WeberChevrolet
• http://twitter.com/walmart_shop
• http://twitter.com/Jonasbrothers

Above I mentioned Facebook and I should clarify that using Facebook for promotion is a little trickier. They do not have a direct business page. In order to promote a business and/or business site you need to have a personal site and create a page link. Then people will have the possibility to access your business link page and become a fan of that page.
An example is this site set up to feature a blog of an American Major League Baseball Team, the Philadelphia Phillies.

• http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Philliesmaniacom/122509288854

If you pull up this example you will see a lay out a little more detailed than you saw on Twitter. Part of Facebook is similar in some ways. It can have the similar purpose but it is more extensive. Let’s take a look at some of the features and ways you can use it for your marketing strategy.

When you visit Facebook you will have these business link pages accessible to you to visit. When you go these pages you will see the name of the business and page and an image/logo also. If the site manager provides it there will be a comment next to the user name of the site. It can be a fun comment or a marketing line or anything in between. The manager and the visitor’s can use the “What’s on your mind?” box to join in or add comments.

Through the middle section are a few options. You have a message “Wall” as one of them. The “Wall” is somewhat like the “Tweet” on Twitter. Only it is not limited to 140 characters. The “Info” option allows the link/page sponsor to give the official URL and an overview and company mission. The “Photo” option is pretty self explanatory. And a 4th choice is “Discussions” in which you can start a thread or a topic, were others can participate. Actually the “Wall”, along with personal messages, is open to visitors to contribute to.

Along the left is a column that provides site related information. You have a box that you can offer a brief description of what your objective is, a section where people can see who your fans are.

On the other side, in a column on the right is as section that offers ad space for other business pages on Facebook.

All in all the interaction between visitor and the site management is always a good idea and successful. The “ongoing” concept is also a great idea because it is an incentive for people to continue to come back to see what you and others are posting.

Another good provision by these 2 sites is you can set it up so that you are updated through an email account of new activity. These social sites also are easy for your “fans” or visitors to pass on your link to their friends, which is always the most reliable source of advertising.

Oh but there are more. As we mentioned earlier you have the well known Myspace and there are others to take a look at. The truth is you can get a fine start and learn a lot by carefully reviewing Twitter and Facebook. And keep in mind regardless of what Internet business and/or Internet presence you are planning to maintain you should be interested in the social network ladder and be prepared to use it.

“Did you hear the latest song by BooDiddy Boo Boo? It’s off the chart.”

Ah good old gossip and chit chat. We are all guilty of it and part of us likes it. We love to talk about our favorite celebs and sports teams, and movies and book themes, and so on. That is why fan blogging has been a booming Internet success.

In fact we have discussed in a Part 1 article how we can continue and build success with this type of blog. But there are other ways to have a budding blog business also.

Keeping with our back yard garden theme we once again would like to drive home the point that it is most likely that our garden is full of variety and choices. Even among the same plants we sometimes have more than one plant. Maybe we like beans. So we plant lima beans, green beans, black beans, and garbanzo beans.

The same can be said of the blogging business. In our Internet garden we can plant or develop different styles or types of blogs. Like we mentioned above and discussed in Part 1, you have the fan blog.

But you can also have a business where you feature product reviews or product endorsements. These are often found in an e-zine. (rhymes with magazine) Yes e-zines are on line magazines that are often grouped by theme or category and bloggers submit or are hired to write content for them. In many cases there is compensation for the authors work. Some bloggers even start their own e-zine page.

Another similar form of blogging that is also successful is a tutorial blog. These blogs offer instruction on any number of topics: how to exercise, how to cook, how to eat, how to garden, how to fix things, how to write how to articles, and on and on and on. Some of these sites are offered on a subscription bases. Many are presented like any other blog would be.

And then there are the review blogs or “the best place to ……………..” whatever blogs that are often entertaining and offer some useful tips and some heads up on place to see, eat at, tour, or sleep in, etc.

Any of these blogs can be successful to manage and produce content for. All of these types of blogs naturally lend themselves to web site sponsors and/or advertisers. Now at this point we are merging the concept of blogging with affiliate marketing, which is normal by the way.

Yes you can earn a reasonable fee for placing an ad for another web page or simply receive a fee for each customer you send their way. Of course the more traffic and interest you draw to your site will increase the value of your site and the number of people that will patronize the ads of your affiliates.

Not coincidently you will place relevant ads on your page. For example if you are writing reviews on tools you may be able to arrange for companies like Lowe’s or Home Depot to place an ad on your page. Or Snap-On or Craftsman. These are big companies in the US of course but you can certainly go international depending on how big of a target market you are aiming for. However, with product reviews, there is no reason not to go global.

The advertising angle is a big revenue stream for a blogger but it is not the only one. As we briefly commented above some bloggers are able to pull off a member or subscription site. A monster example I have discussed before is on ESPN.com where they offer certain articles on what they call the Insider. They charge people a few bills a month to access those articles. People have done this with e-zines, tutorials, and review type blogs. Granted it does not appear to be a high percentage but I have seen it done.

As always is the case with most web pages and web businesses, you may offer merchandise. Maybe you have a guide book or a top 10 list. Perhaps you have a DVD, or a transcript you offer. There are any number of items that one may be able to offer for sale to on line visitors.

You’re not a story writer or fan club kind of chap or gal? You’re more of a tech head or a teacher? Maybe you love to give travel advice or critique places and things? Hey, maybe this type of blogging is your kind of gig.

It’s true that not all gardeners plant the exact same plants in their back yard so of course it is only expected that not all people pursuing a web business will be drawn to the same application and concept.

It’s all about choices my friends. The best part is you have those choices and the demand for these Internet ventures continues to remain strong. So do your homework and give it a whirl.

As the winners are announced they approach the podium with a big smile and a small acceptance speech. Ultimately it is the time to thank those who helped get them to this moment, and rightfully so. We all accept the reality that none of us gets anywhere or attain a level of success completely on our own.

In fact we all have heard or perhaps even said ourselves, “it’s not always what you do but it’s who you know”., which may be a bit over used and/or over simplified at times and yet basically true. Nevertheless we all need to be connected and interwoven in a network.

What is a network you may ask? For the purpose of this post we are talking about a circle of friends and associates that we share work related activity with, correspond with, and bond with. And it is not always as simple as that definition sounds. Why is that?

Quite frankly some of us are just not very good at it. Others do not give it enough thought or attention. Then there are those of among us who have no clue of how to build a network. Let’s address some of these obstacles.

However first we ask, why would you need a network or to engage in networking? Embellishing on our introduction let’s delve a little more into the why.

Connections are not always a “someone on the inside” doing you a favor. Connections often times are simply relationships that we have established that has established a trust and a familiarity with others in the field of interest that we are. So let’s continue in that theme in an Internet business endeavor. Your network is going to assist you and get you and your business “out there”. Yes a network gets people to know who you are and what you’re about.

Okay there you are in whatever aspect of the Internet business arena that you are in. Maybe you run a site, or write for websites, design, program, manage, promote, market, and so on. No matter where you are in the on line food chain you should be connected to those who are in the other areas that we just mentioned. And of course those who do the same things you do should be in your circle or your loop. This is your network. Not to be left out is trying to mingle with prospective customers or participants of your Internet enterprise. That would be your extended network.

The key is you need to build a network but you also must network (as in verb). Aside from the work that you do in line with your primary on line job, you should set aside a reasonable amount of time to connect with people and to instigate friendships, associations, and affiliations. You’re basic schmoozing and rubbing of elbows. Naturally this leads to obvious benefits.

Yes the net gain of networking is vast and important. With more friends and legitimate associates you can learn a lot and improve yourself at what you do, for beginners. You also will gain access to events and happenings that you would probably never find on your own.

Among the people you bond with, their newfound trust in you and your reliability will open opportunities. Perchance they need your help or know of others who need your help, which the probability of either and/or both is enormous. The more they know about you and the more confidence your network associates have in you will only improve the likelihood that you will be called upon. Frankly it will greatly increase that likelihood significantly.

The wider you extend and the more expansive you make your network, will only augment and broaden the potential for letting others know of your talents and your abilities. And it will also widened the net that will catch feelers of the needs of others who need your know how.

Assembling a network will be calculated but also a voluminous aim. That means you need quality “friends” but you also need quantity. Now that doesn’t mean that everyone and anyone will be included. In time you will learn the proper balance of where to draw the line of who to network with. The trick is to keep the pool of friendships related to the Internet goals you are striving for.

Another vital must is: do not be transparent. Be genuine and do not use people or give the impression that you are using them. Just like our entertainer in the beginning, the people in your network will become part of a support group and a team that will accomplish things together. So don’t burn bridges or try and guilt people or make them feel they owe you. This also means that you will have their best interests at heart. It should be a help each other operation.

Where to start? Any business network starts in the terrestrial world. Yes with your friends in your daily life. But it goes far beyond that. It goes to their friends for example. But with the Internet the world has gotten smaller. So reach out and touch the world through the Internet connections. Utilize social sites, forums, email, instant messaging and so on. And remember their friends can be your friends in no time.

Don’t forget now, this is a win/win situation. And what about those who are thinking right now “I do this and it isn’t helping?” Well for one thing chances are you are to heavy in quantity an lacking in quality. You may have made many good friends and you may have been helped some or have helped others. Only it hasn’t gotten you where you want to be. That is because your network is not complete or expansive enough. Many of your friends are basically in the same boat as you. Or you are on the same cruise ship but you are networking with people on the same floor as you. You need to fraternize with those who have had more success than you.

Now look I am not suggesting a social status inferior/superiority complex or that there is anything good or bad about being who you are. What we are talking about is learning and initiating a healthy friendship with people who are more experienced than you are in the field you want to be successful at. Simply put, 2 beginners can only help each other so much. And a beginner and a novice will only get so far. Neither of which is a bad thing. But the people who make progress are people who team up or network with others who are more accomplished and more plugged in then you are.

New to the network game? Or have you networked and yet feel as if it’s gotten you nowhere? Relax, this is not a reason to panic or give up. This is a time to go through your network and identify what is missing. It may even be a matter of reaching out to some of your friends who have a better knack for developing a network, which ironically is a part of the point of having a network.

So now that we have come full circle, that leaves the rest up to you.

Personally I love the great integration I can see between blogging and social networking. I am talking about the term integration because this is really what is occurring when you have one or several blogs that interact with social networks.

You write an article about IT technology and you can share this article in more than 1500 social network applications which are available in the web.

I have read a comment of a specialist in social networking saying that Twitter is going to replace the blogging and Facebook and MySpace are going to contribute a lot in this phenomenon. I completely disagree with this comment because in the practice, social networking is so popular, but blogging is also more efficient today thanks to the social networking. There is a magic integration amongst social networking and integration.

When you are blogging social networking is one of the most perfect sources of traffic. You do not uniquely depend on search engines anymore; you can have full access to diverse kind of information through social networks.

Do you know that you can get a huge traffic through Facebook or Twitter? This is a very efficient way to make your business blog or website famous and popular. However, the integration should be specifically in both ways.

You should make links in social networks that pinpoint your blogs and in your blogs you should have the more number of social networking buttons that you can.

The more social network sharing buttons you have the more is your possibility to rank better in search engines.

Evidently, it is something that can help you a lot to boost your business through this wise integration between blogging and social networking. Blogging is not going to disappear as some people have agued. Blogging has a very long life with the perfect harmony of social networking solutions.

Everybody should be aware of the potential you have in your hands –the Internet as an amazing tool for business- and all the advantages –mainly in costs and effectiveness- you will have for that.

If you are using Twitter to empower your business relationships as well make them more efficient, you are using the right tool for that.

When you are overwhelmed in building business online, Twitter is one of the best tools –based on online social networking- to help you to empower that and your business relationships stronger and receive a higher revenue for your business or organization.

I would like to share with you four (4) basic ways that are going to help you a lot in this process.

1. Start defining your business goals: It is important that you have mind –well defined- which is your business strategy. Sometimes we use twitter as a way to know people for business and for getting more traffic. When you properly define which are the goals you want to achieve you will be more aware about how to define your business strategy based in improving your business relationships.
2. Add value to Twittersphere: There are several people using Twitter but no everybody ad value to what I call the “Twittersphere”. When you do interesting things that call the attention of your follower they will realize you are a different people with a different purpose. So, this is a wonderful opportunity to make them be part of your business network more actively.
3. Help twitter followers answering questions: When you answer questions and bring solutions to problems that your followers can have, this is another wise way to add value but in a more personalized way.
4. The more followers you have the more powerful you are: You should get as more followers as you can so that your message is passed along to a network of people who is interested in what you are saying to the point of sharing your same message with their own followers.

More than 250 million active users around the world can testify that Facebook is not a wonderful tool for socialize almost everything but is also a new social lifestyle.
I can tell you a lot of reasons, benefits and advantages you can get through the use of Facebook but we could write a book about that.

Last week I was talking with a friend about the amazing advantages of Facebook as a powerful social networking solution. My friend told me that she knows a girl since she was in primary school and when she moved to other city, unfortunately she lost any kind of contact with this persona don’t having access to her anymore. Then, almost 10 years later, she can have contact with her because a she is friend of other friend she has and it was the point of contact to meet again.

It is incredible the power of Facebook as a mechanism for share information, talk about things of your interest or just speaking with your friends about those things you want. Despite of all the disadvantages some people talk about Facebook, in the real world you should have to face the same disadvantages as everything in the life but you should see the positive aspect of the things.

Facebook is becoming a great social phenomenon that requires of time to socialize with people that are part of your network in Facebook and a will of interact with other people. If you haven’t any presence in Facebook or any other social network with similar features you probably will be a new kind anti-social because you are closed to the online social networking realm.

Everybody has an off-line life, but having also an online interaction is part of the new lifestyle of citizens of the world.
