Effective use of social media sites such as those above can have a positive effect on your ability to market your services in your own community.  The downside to them however is that they can suck you in and waste a lot of your valuable time.

As part of a promotional campaign aimed at internet marketers a wiser than his age social media guru has been distributing a free report that shows how you can effectively use all three of the above services in just 17 minutes a day.

That contrasts with the average 55 minutes a day Americans spend on these site today.  Not as bad as TV, but multiplied by 5-7 days a week and you’re talking about some real time at the end of a month.

You do want to use the power of social media, you do also however want to learn and apply a daily discipline to keep in charge of your own time.

I found this to be useful, although I have modified it to meet my own needs. You will probably want to so so as well. But the ideas shared are worth practicing for several weeks in a row until you master them.

The net result will be a more effective use of these services, and a more productive day spent on your priorities and not idle chit chat.

Setting up a web page is only the beginning to online marketing. Now you need to get it seen by potential customers. This used to be challenging in many markets, but there has been a big change in what matters. Today, what matters is being seen on the Google Places Page, and you don't even need to have a web site to do that. (although you should.) The good news is that its free, and if you know what you are doing, you can maneuver yourself to the top listing in many markets. That's one of the skill sets I bring to the table. If you would like to get your Google Places Page properly set up send me an email at enetwal@gmail.com and put "Free Initial Evaluation" or something similar in the subject line. Be sure to include your current web site and contact info.
