Increase Your Networking Exposure

Anyone who is working with Social Networks and Networking knows that one of the main things your have to work to do is increase your networking exposure.  This will not only get yourself out there for people to see you- but it will help for more people to become curious as to why they keep seeing you!  The more places you are the better!

I’ve have mentioned in previous posts how Thumbvu has added to the traffic exchange ways to increase your networking exposure by allowing you to add in options for people to connect with you through your social networks.  Thumbvu has also allowed you to put on display your opt in list to help you build your list as well.

I’ve recoded this video to show you yet again another reason why Thumbvu is helping people increase their networking exposure. Take a look at the member gallery and how this can put you on display for other members to connect with you through Thumbvu!

Enjoy!  I hope to see all of you on Thumbvu very soon! You can create a free account today!

If you want to set up an auto notification to your Social network statues that you have posted a new blog post you can set up a feed from your blog through Twitter Feed.  This will allow your social networks to notify those who follow you of new blog posts without you having to log in to change your status.

The sites that I refer to in this video are:

Social Network Efficiency- Ping.fm Overview

In one of my previous posts- Getting yourself and your Business Known- I covered many social networks that I recommended setting up accounts with.  I also mentioned a site called Ping.fm that can be used to manage some of the activity on some of those accounts and improve your Social Network Efficiency.

It can be hard to stay active on so many Social Network accounts when you have to log into so many of them one by one to update your status.  Ping.fm is a site in which you can create an account and attach it to many of your social network accounts.  Ping.fm can help you improve your Social Network Efficiency.  From the ping.fm site you can then update your status or post a blog to the attached accounts all at once.

I have recorded this video to show you how ping.fm works.  I hope that it helps you with your Social Network Efficiency as it has for me.

Staying Positive- What can this do for your Success?

Have you ever found yourself in a negative situation and you have tried stating a positive
statement- and afterward you really don’t feel much more positive?  I want to invite you
to take a much closer look at the meaning behind the words- staying positive.

Staying positive is so much more than just stating a few positive words or thinking a few
positive thoughts.  A person should look deeper than this and try to understand the process
of creating positivity in their life.  It’s not enough to just go through the actions, one
must also feel and believe in the power of being positive.

I believe one of the greatest benefits that comes with staying positive is happiness.
I’m sure that you have noticed, if something negative happens in your life it can lead
to sadness.  For example- a lot of people have had to deal with loosing a job.  This can
cause a lot of emotions to stir up, including sadness.  In this situation- if you are focusing
your energy on the negative feelings it can cause problems such as depression, anxiety, not being focused, other health problems, and overall poor quality of life.  However, you can turn
a negative situation into a positive force by simply changing how you look at the situation.

In this example- a person has lost their job.  A positive outlook on this could be that now
this person has a chance to either find a new job, either making more money or one that they
enjoy more.  This can create a positive outlook that would motivate the person to take the actions needed to acomplish this goal.  If they are still focusing on the negatives- they might not
take action or not work as hard to find something that they would really enjoy or make more money.

Some other benefits that can be a direct result of staying positive include a sense of better
health, improved relationships, feelings of satisfaction, more confidence, and a better
outlook on life and things that you experience in life.  This can help you to become
successful.  If you are positive and have all these great attributions to your life from
staying positive then it will help you achieve your goals.

Here are some helpful tips on how you can stay positive.

  • Try to flush negative thoughts from you head.  If you have a negative thought- immediately stop and think of a positive alternative.
  • Surround yourself with positive people.
  • Read positive articles and books.  Really pay attention to strategies and thoughts of being positive and contemplate how you can impliment into your own life.
  • Stay active- when you are active you are helping mentally as well to stay positive.
  • Set goals for yourself and focus on you successfully reaching those goals. Prepare mentally for the success and keep a positive “can do” attitude.
  • Keep positive and happy thoughts and feelings such as hope and joy in your mind.  If you need reminders then post small quotes or notes to yourself around your house or in your car.

Staying positive will have a direct result in your success.  Practice these tips daily and you
will start seeing a positive change in you and your life.
