Social Media: More Than A Tool

by

The title of this post says it all.

When I first started using social media to promote 4dancers, I did so grudgingly. I joined Twitter and scratched my head at how I was supposed to use it. I certainly didn’t think I’d enjoy it.

Using Facebook as a tool also lacked appeal for me. After all, the majority of my friends on there were actual friends and family.

LinkedIn seemed to make the most sense. After all, it was more of a “professional” site, designed to showcase your resume and develop connections.

So what happened? [Read more…]

Tweet Better–Use TwiTip

by

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been on Twitter for a week or a year–you can always learn more. When I first started using it, I didn’t like it at all. I now realize that is because I didn’t know how to use Twitter, and after some time I have really grown to like it. You can form relationships in ways that you can’t elsewhere online. Conversations are quick and to the point. People are helfpul and fun.

So how do you learn more about Twitter? You can do endless Google searches, or you can try out a site that is designed to give you the information you need. Try TwiTip and see what you think. It has a “starters guide” as well as sections for “getting followers” and “news”. Make it easy on yourself and take advantage of the fact that there is a ton of information in one spot that you can learn from.

And…if you haven’t already, join 4dancers on Twitter!

Creating A Google Alert

by

Whether you are a dancer wanting to keep an eye on any reviews that come out about your performances or a studio owner who has their own blog, Google Alerts can be a great tool for you to use. Setting this notification up is very simple, and it will help you keep an eye on your online presence. Just follow the easy directions and you will have an alert e-mailed to you with the frequency you select. I use it for 4dancers and it lets me know when the site is mentioned elsewhere. Very handy!
