Five Ways to Maximize Your Time When Social Networking

Social networking has been around in some shape or form since the late 1970s, when users could dial into Bulletin Board Systems to communicate with others sharing common interests. With the development of the World Wide Web in the 1990s, these systems have been supplanted by more sophisticated systems, leading up to today’s widely popular social networking sites. A person could easily spend several hours per week (or even per day) checking out new sites, maintaining connections, and updating his or her profiles. Although effective social networking can and does lead to business opportunities, unfortunately, the activity itself will not generate any income, so it’s important to use your online time effectively. Here are five tips to help you do just that.

Pew Survey indicates that blogging has lost its lustre, but do you agree?

Earlier this week I received an e-mail from a fellow host on the Blog Talk Radio Network in which the link to a February 21st article in the Music Industry News Network titled "Social Media and Young Adults" was included. The article made reference to “Two Pew Internet Project surveys,” that revealed a noticeable “decline in blogging among teens and young adults,” and a “modest rise among adults 30 and older.” My associate thought that I would find this interesting in that besides posting between 2 to 4 articles on 4 (and soon to be 6) blogs each week, she was interested in getting my take on these findings as I have been a strong proponent of the important synergy between maintaining a blog in conjunction with one’s BTR show.
