Online Socializing CAN Help Your Business
Think blogging, Facebook, LinkedIn, online socializing can’t help your business?
Think again!
John Wolcott, editor of the Snohomish County Business Journal, featured Blogging Bistro as the cover story for the May 2010 issue.
John, who’s the first to admit that he’s a social media neophyte, asked me about how social media helped me promote my own business ventures, and we discussed ways businesspeople can use social media profitably.
The May issue also includes my regular Relationship Marketing column. This month’s topic:
An updated business portrait (commonly called a “headshot”) is a critical component for every business owner, because you can use your portrait in both your print and online marketing materials.
My column explains:
- Why you need a current headshot
- How to prepare for your portrait session
- What to wear (and what NOT to wear)
- Jewelry no-nos
- Makeup must-dos
- … and the critical release form that allows you to use your image in your marketing materials.
