I remember when I first discovered WordPress. I had been blogging since Feb. 2005 at Blogger.com. I had been attending online expos at the time and, in January 2007 learned about WordPress and self hosted sites.

I programmed my first blog, moving North San Diego Business to a self hosted blog. Through the years I’ve chosen to focus just on WordPress blogs. To me it’s the heart of my content syndication strategies.

However, I’m sensitive to the budget issues facing the small business community and have found a WordPress blog service, Free Blog Factory. They fill a great need in having a self hosted blog, but not having the budget to have the blog custom designed and built.

Free Blog Factory is hosting a free webinar tonight, November 3, 2010, then again November 10th and 17th entitled WordPress Mastery, 101 to show you how easy it is to use WordPress as your website. If you have time, sign up and check it out.

If you check it out, let me know what you think? Is it a service that might benefit you?

I know you’ve hear it….”are you on Twitter?” You wonder what all the fuss is about Twitter and why would you want to know what someone was eating?

Twitter is an amazing tool! You can use it to broadcast your message, chat with other professionals, research business ideas and companies. Those are just a few uses for Twitter. You just need to learn how to use it!

Social Networking has become the buzz word in the small business community. Now is a great time to build your sphere of influence online. Facebook is one of the most active social networking sites for solopreneurs.

When it comes to syndicating your content, your blog and Facebook (along with Twitter) play very well together. Your blog gives you the RSS feed that’s so important to sharing your blog posts with the world. By importing your blog into Facebook, you can share your blog content with all your friends at Facebook.

Programmed correctly, you can also alert your tweeples at Twitter, but that’s another webinar.

On Monday, February 9th at 3pm PT, you can learn how to incorporate Facebook into your online marketing and branding strategy.
