It probably took 10 months to get my first 5,000 Followers and 1/2 that time to get the next 10,000 but hey, anything is easy when you know how. The good news is, these are cat lovers or weight loss people (ie) Twitter folks who have nothing to do with my 3-4 niche markets. Easy as pie.

Twitter finally taking it to the next level! Excited to see more about Twitter's @anywhere and where this take some of Fifty & Five's (www.fiftyandfive.com) clients in the coming months. Open technology platform? Love it!

I've been using Google AdWords to promote my business, Fifty & Five (www.fiftyandfive.com) during the past several months. I've spent hundreds of dollars sending out little bitty ads on the side of Google searches. Sure, the ads have helped land me a few new clients, but the overall success hasn't exactly been stellar. Enter Starbucks junkie and local Hermosa Beach SEO guru, Warner Carter... who sends me great bits of information on social media marketing along with lots of SEO/SEM helpful hints. LinkedIn has some highly targeted ads of their own. I had no freakin' clue this existed. I've signed up and I'm ready to put the Google AdWords on pause if things work out... and I think they will.
