This is an interview that I just did with Dave Olson over at HootSuite which is one of the best tools you can use for Social Media and your business.

They just released a team collaboration tool to manage a Businesses Social Media that frankly, just totally rocks and you need to get it.  I allows you to have several people use your Social Media and collaborate while limiting permissions.

Below the interview, I have  a video showing you what it can do.

If you are using not using this great Social Media tool (and it is free) and your competition is, at least you will now know why you are losing your customers to the them!    I am sure the blog will get hammered so be patient while the audio loads! —–> READ MORE

Understanding Twitter in 5 minutes:

• Why you need it for your business

• What it is

• How it works

• How you can make money from it

By: Andrew Andersen

In order to help you understand Twitter, you just need to understand and think about it as the ultimate direct marketing tool because Twitter users voluntarily sign up to receive you messages or your tweets.

I’m not gonna mention any other special jargon, we’re gonna bring it down to the basic terms so you can understand the power of Twitter and why you need to understand it and start using it immediately.

This poll and survey was just taken about 3 or 4 days ago and I want to read something of it for you. Are you more likely to buy since becoming a fan or follower? Now, 67% of the Twitter respondents said yes. Are you more likely to recommend since becoming a fan or follower? 79% of the Twitter followers said yes. So if someone’s following you on Twitter and you have a Twitter account and you’re tweeting and sending out messages, 79% of the respondents said they’re more likely to recommend your product or service to someone else that they know. —–> READ MORE

The Cobbler Who Wears Flip Flops

That is exactly how I feel these days.    Have you ever been there?  Have you just been so busy with clients and other people you don’t have time to work on your own projects?

While I have been mostly concentrating on some totally mind-blowing SEO / Traffic systems I am integrating into a new software project I am about to share with you,  I am slowly putting this site together so that it is an “appealing, take action kind of site” and not something the cat brought home.

If you have watched my Massive Online Profit videos, you are seeing a small sliver of the kind of things I am working on.

So is www.21to21.com better than a lot of sites out there? Sure, but it is only about 85% there and it will be much, much better.  What it does not do is really showcase any of the Web Design skills I have or that are in house.   But as I said before, I have been mostly using it for SEO / Traffic research and will continue to do so but, it will get better looking here shortly.

I am not sure if I mentioned this, but I am using the Beta Version of  LaunchBox Pro software that my partners and I have been working on for about 8 months now.    While it may not be apparent yet, it is by far the easiest, most powerful Website / Blog building platform I have ever used, with nothing even coming close.

Let me know if you can see how you can use these 2 tips to increase your profits by 30% to 300%.  By the way, the numbers I use in the video are accurate.

21 Reasons Why You Need A Blog, A Website, And Social Media Or Your Business Will Die. Actually there a quite a few more than 21 reasons why, but 21 are enough don’t you think?

How People Communicate And Do Business Has Forever Changed

The stats below show you what the Internet has done to change the way we humans communicate and interact with each other and also the way business is now being done.  This makes the change between horse and buggies and cars look tame in comparison and the pace of this change is only going to increase and become even more fragmented.  It is great for those the “get this” and it will fatal for those businesses that don’t.  And more than likely, it will be swift.  This also represents a change for Governments with just as swift consequences as well, but I don’t want to go there now and may discuss this later.

But the bottom line is that you need to start getting on board with the program. The good thing is that the vast majority of businesses do not have their act together when it comes to any of these things.  Oh, there are a number of them that get “it”.  One of the things is that you don’t have to become an expert, but you do have to know the basics and and have all of the components in place.  I will show you how to pull it all together in upcoming posts.

Even implementing all of the parts at a C level will overwhelm your competition.  While it is cool to have an A game, you do not need it to be massively successful.  And the biggest thing is that you do not need any expensive technical Gurus.  Point in fact because they are so focused, I see a lot of them missing the boat as far as gaining benefits of a complete plan.  If you are reading this blog, given the right tools, I know you are smart  and have enough skills to pull it all together and gain the benefits in no time flat.

OK, take a look at these figures and tell me that you can afford to ignore them.

The bottom line is it represents why I have been telling my clients to get their acts together with their online business models and pull everything together. Do it, and do it now or face extinction.

I have some other figures that I will post as well that are pretty phenomenal. Don’t wait, get your Internet act together.

Cheers,

Andrew “Easy” Anderson
