International Networking On Social Media
A business blog is a great long term investment to establish online visibility. But it takes a combination of skills to make your business blog successful. And it also takes a fair bit of social networking to make your blog successful. This is why belonging to good social business communities can make a difference to your blog’s success.
Blogging Communities
There are a variety of different blogging communities, but only a few of them are really geared towards the business blogger. Most of the blogging communities are aimed for a mixed audience of people who want to make money online with a few professionals using their business blogs to promote their offline business.
Here are some of the blogging communities I’m a member of. [click to continue…]

Your online success is always centered on the content you publish on the web. Business blogging has the advantage of publishing relevant content on a consistent basis. This is why so many professionals start blogging. But it’s not always easy to continue blogging while running a business.
This is why it’s great to get involved in social business networks. These are the online communities where you pick up good tips and learn from each other. And these social networks also help you to become a better business blogger.
Sugartone: Sweet Business Blogging Contest
Two of these social business networks, BizSugar the social bookmarking site for business articles & Bloggertone the business bloggers community, are partnering up to put on Sugartone, the Sweet Business Blogging Contest, with prizes specifically targeting professionals who publish articles online.
I wrote about Sugartone last week. Well, it starts now, Monday March 15th at 9am EST, 4pm GMT and that 5pm my time here in Paris.

International Links
In the past, I’ve shared the links found during my industry monitoring activities in weekly posts here. These links came from the tweets I shared during the previous week. But over the last few months I’ve revised my social media marketing plan and I’m doing things a bit differently.
In the process I’ve created a few extra Facebook Business Pages and I’ve now finally integrated my Facebook marketing within my social media marketing plan. This has changed how I create these weekly posts. Here’s how you can now get the fun, interesting and useful cross-cultural and international links I find each week:
- Become a fan of the Facebook Business Pages that interest you most, to get them on a daily basis
- Come back here every Sunday, to get the weekly re-cap
Here are the international and cross-cultural links for this week. [click to continue…]

International Web Marketing
I just read Tamar Weinberg’s internet marketing advice and noticed the different internet marketing specialties she listed:
- Search Engine Optimization
- Link Building
- Affiliate Marketing
- Pay Per Click Marketing
- Social Media Marketing
- Email Marketing
- Content Marketing
I agree with Tamar when she says you can’t be an expert in every one of these. Most web marketers have one area they are really good at. [click to continue…]

Twitter is a networking haven for businesses. But is there an easy way to draw the right people to you with Twitter?
The answer is yes and there’s a great Twitter feature that can help you: Twitter lists. Twitter lists can grab the interest of people you most want to meet, help you make a great first impression and can help you with marketing segmentation.
