Do you feel like you loose track of time while visiting Facebook or Twitter? It’s often what I hear small business people saying about using social media as a way to syndicate their content, or message.

I found a great little tool to help you with that. In fact, I’m using it with this post. I happened upon Pomodairo the other day. It’s a cool little Google tool to help you time your tasks.

I try to share links to blog posts that I think will help my followers on Twitter, friends on Facebook and my blog readers would enjoy reading. I allotted myself 15 minutes this morning to check out my Google Reader and share links to articles. I was pleasantly surprised that the 15 mins. I gave to the task was really all I needed, and I finished right on time.

Give Pomodairo a whirl and see if setting a time for a given task will help you maximize syndicating your content, or message, raising your online visibility, credibility and profitability.

If you use the FireFox browser you may be familiar with FireFox’s addons. One of the addons I use regularly is ScribeFire. ScribeFire can really help you with posting to your blog, or if you are like me and other bloggers, your blogs….

With ScribeFire you can set up your blogs in the admin area and when you are surfing the web and find a site, post, or article you want to reference, you simply tap F8 to launch ScribeFire.

With ScribeFire you can post to your blog, add images from your harddrive or Flikr and even videos from YouTube. You can categorize your posts, even use the timestamp to publish them at a later date. If you’re referencing other online sources, ScribeFire can be a great tool to use in leveraging your time.

If you have any tools you use to make your blogging easier, I invite you to share by commenting.

Marketing With Audio and Video

Penny Haynes, Commercial Creation Center, and I had a discussion about using audio and video in combination with social media as a way to leverage business on the Internet.

Penny took an informal poll over at LinkedIn, asking about which social networking sites other business owners and professionals used. The usual suspects were mentioned, in addition to a few that aren’t well know. The sites discussed were:

Bottom line, if you really want to maximize your social networking, it’s imperative that you gain your site visitor’s trust and multimedia can do that for you. It’s getting easier and easier to create audio and video. The Commercial Creation Center is a push button system to let you do just that, reach out to your community in a very personal manner.

If you are already using audio and video, feel free to share your experience, what has worked and what didn’t.

Wow, it’s tough at times to keep the faith while you’re running your business in these times. All I’ve been hearing is how bad the economy is, how bad business is and I’ve watched friends just quit!

Do you feel like that at times? I have a great piece of FREE software I’d like to share with you. Subliminal Desktop is a FREE software program that runs on your desktop, popping up positive affirmations every few seconds.

Now, I did purchase the full version, which allows me to customize the phrases that come up on my screen. I can’t tell you how many times I see those phrases pop up and it just warms my heart and keeps me moving forward.

If you are into positive affirmations, and know how powerful they can be in helping reframe our subconscious thoughts.

Check it out and see if it doesn’t put a smile on your face during a trying day! Let me know what you think!
