The Power of Social Media

October 17, 2009 By Liz Gallagher

If you haven’t already realized the power of social media to reach large audiences in a short amount of time, I have a great example to convince you.

Beat Cancer

Yesterday I was reading through some of my favorite blogs and came across a story on Mashable about eBay/PayPal & Miller Lite raising money for cancer research – a cause close to my heart after losing my dad to cancer last year.  Of course I had to find out more, so I went to http://beatcancereverywhere.com and learned that a $0.01 donation would be made to cancer research for every mention of the #beatcancer hashtag in a blog post, Facebook update or Twitter tweet in a 24-hour period.  In addition to raising money for cancer, they were trying to set a Guinness World Record for social media mentions.

Take Control of Your Website with a CMS

October 5, 2009 By Liz Gallagher
Get Wired with a Content Management System

Technology never stands still.  As the owner of a web design business, I have to keep on top of the moving trends in my industry or become obsolete.  This year, the technology I have embraced is Content Management Systems.  Once you have a CMS, you’ll fall in love and wonder how you ever survived without it (just like your cell phone!)

The Benefits of a CMS include:

  1. Take control of your website!  It’s a great feeling to be in charge.  Update your own website whenever you like, without having to wait for someone else to do it.
  2. Save Money!  You no longer have to pay your web developer to make those minor updates any more.
  3. Easy to Update!  No technical skills or HTML knowledge required.  Most CMS platforms have a built-in editor that is as easy to use as Microsoft Word.

Blogging for Business

June 3, 2009 By Liz Gallagher

To Blog or Not to Blog: that has been the question for some time now.  Like most people, I have used every excuse in the book:

  • I don’t have time to blog
  • I don’t know what to blog about
  • I’m not interesting enough
  • Who would read my blog?
  • The dog ate my blog

I’m sure there are many people out there who feel the same way.

So why the change or heart?  Well, I’ve finally realized that…

BLOGGING IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS!
