COMMIT to your target audience… and keywords! Give it a YEAR. #longterm commitments are KEY. via @SuzRoy #tsa20k

This is so true. As I tell people all the time, online marketing isn’t lightning in a bottle, it’s a marathon race that takes time, endurance and patience.

Teri Conrad – @TeriConrad
Marketing is a marathon! Stay focused for at least a year!! Via @SuzRoy #tsa20k

Wow, maybe Teri was reading my mind? It takes time people.

Melissa Ceja – @melissaceja
Success doesnt happen overnight! Stick with it. #tsa20k

@darinpersinger taking it down to the basics…funny how well the basics actually work…why make it so hard on yourself? #tsa20k

Sometimes we try to over complicate things in our online business. It’s the basic foundations that make things work.

Lesley Lambert – @LesleyLambert
Contacting sphere of influence still key. Don’t use the script “who do you know who”. @darinpersinger #tsa20k

People don’t like being “sold to” so don’t try it anymore, it really doesn’t work well.

Oscar S. Bowen – @oscarbowen
@darinpersinger “Engage your sphere of influence. Contribute and provide value.” #tsa20k

Very true, give up trying to sell, and give the consumer what they want. It will make your online business much more valuable.

Debra Trappen – @debra11
Have you “Allowed Subscribers” on Facebook yet? Check here: http://t.co/RIu5YBnC via @Chris_Smth #tsa20k

Laurie Weston Davis – @lauriewdavis
If you are not putting out quality content no one will want to subscribe to you @Chris_Smth #tsa20k

This is true to everything you do online. If you don’t give value, you won’t gain consumers trust.

Debra Trappen – @debra11
Enable subscription option…and then add your custom facebook URL 2 ur biz cards… via @Chris_Smth #tsa20k

Laurie Weston Davis – @lauriewdavis
An impersonal profile pic on your FB page is a huge waste of space @JimmyMackin #tsa20k

I’d also add that the profile picture should be a photo of you. Not the dog, cat, sky, or a cartoon. If I don’t know you and can’t see a photo of you, I will not connect with you.

Tony M TeVogt – @TCRealtorTony
RT @lauriewdavis: if you have a photo strip – put your branding there as well @JimmyMackin #Tsa20k

The photo strip is a great place to brand your page even more.

Roseville Heather O – @RosevilleRockLn
@TeriConrad @jimmymackin @brandpreneur #tsa20k so true about logo – and also use non-pixelated imagery and sized appropriately so not warped

If you want to set up a skyscraper style avatar, the best dimensions is 180 x 540. Also, make sure you set the thumbnail image so that it makes sense to those seeing your updates in the stream.

RT @debra11: Even if you do NOT use Google+… you MUST fill out your G+ profile. VERY IMPORTANT in the land of “search”. #tsa20k

Of course Google+ profiles will be huge to your SEO rankings. They are owned by Google!

@jimmymackin @Chris_Smth don’t spend ALL day on Facebook but spend EVERYDAY on Facebook…#tsa20k

Very true. While you don’t need to spend hours at a time online, you need to at least try to do it on a daily basis.

Stephanie L Davis – @StephLDavis
YES YES YES RT @debra11: REAL engagement. REAL value. REAL connections. Be REAL online. PLEASE. #tsa20k
