social News Articles Online are ridiculous

Be careful what you post online, career counselors warn

NEW YORK (Reuters)   People concerned about their careers should be extra careful about what they post on the Internet during a recession, career counselors say. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs and other venues present numerous opportunities to sabotage your hunt for a job or promotion at a time when employers can afford to be picky. “With social media, you can be vapid, boring and annoying with alarming frequency,” Patricia Vaccarino, owner of a Seattle public relations firm, warned clients in a newsletter. Vaccarino said many of her social friends have posted “in great detail about their colonoscopies, dead teeth pulled, dead dogs, flatulence, adult acne, marital breakups, battles with mental illnesses and drinking problems.” If this information can make friends cringe, she added, imagine the impression it would make on a potential employer.

Vaccarino is the poor decision maker here for outing her “friends” very personal struggles.

social has Privacy Controls …. You have many options on this topic

1. Let everyone view your profile,

2. Let only friends view your profile which Vaccarino’s friends probably had activated until she outed to the world they are a majority of them suffer from alcoholism or mental handicaps,(for someone who works at a PR Firm she should’ve known better )

3. Make your profile private to all….

Maybe would have been a better / informative article Yes social allows this….No one online would even know your account existed. Friends like Vaccarino could not look you up and then have a national interview and an employer would never know you went out drinking because your dog died, got in a fight and lost a tooth,showed up to work hung over, and crapped your pants. Yes social has this option .

If someone has a profile promoting illegal acts ( real Crime )on their social as an employee of an employer I would prefer that they not be hired. As an employee I say let them keep posting their Pit bulls, Drug Money, crack cocaine and Guns (more often found on MYSPACE which is outdated and littered with teenagers vs. professionals). The less guns and crack in the pocket of the guy next to me the better my workday will go. Professionals, young adults, and people with careers use social and Linked In. Maybe this article was aimed at teenagers looking for jobs at Supermarkets or Fast Food Restaurants. If so those kids from Dominoes with the YouTube Video are going to have a tough time finding another job, but do you really want them working in a restaurant making your salad?

Using social And Twitter To Market Your Ebook And Online Business

Using social And Twitter To Market Your Ebook And Online Business

Social networking has made the process of marketing your eBook much easier. By having a presence on social and Twitter you can position yourself as an expert in your field in a very short time. Even while you are still writing your eBook, get started on these two social media sites and become the go-to person in your niche.


social now has more than one hundred million members, so the best way to let people know about you and your eBook is to start your own group. You can use the title of your eBook as the title of the group you create, provided it is filled with your keywords.


You can invite your social friends to join your group, but people will also be able to find your group by typing your keywords into Google or any other search engine. For example, if you type ebook writing and technology into Google, my social group is number one. How cool is that?


You will also want to create a page on social with the name of the eBook as the title. A page is separate from your profile in that it is specifically about your business or your product, which in this case is your eBook.


This page will also rank high in the search engines, but that is not the only way it will help people to find you and your eBook. When you create a page you can also import your blog’s RSS feed into the page. This means that every time you make a post to your blog it will automatically be syndicated into Facebook. Even though you can do this in other areas of Facebook, being able to import your blog, where you are writing about your niche topic, will give your eBook even more exposure.


My strong recommendation is that you purchase a domain name that is the same as the name of your eBook, and then forward that domain to your page on Facebook. Your blog’s domain name can be something very similar, or it can be exactly the same with a different extension. For example, your blog may end with dot come, whereas your social page may end with dot net. This is a great way to take full advantage of your keywords, while branding your name and your niche at the same time.


Twitter is the other major player in the social networking arena. You can set up your account to automatically tweet your blog posts at certain times each day. When you write about your eBook in one of your blog posts, anyone who is following you on Twitter will see what you have written.


Even though you are limited to 140 characters with each tweet, you can shorten your links by using a site such as tinyurl or bitly. This enables you to provide great information about your eBook in the space you are allowed. You may also want to give out a sample chapter to your Twitter followers so that they can see if this is something they will be interested in purchasing. I recommend doing this while you are still writing, so that you will already have prospects when you are ready to make sales.


The combination of Facebook, Twitter, and your blog will give you the online presence you need in order to sell your eBook and become known to your target audience. By seeing your name in so many places, you will be able to attract new prospects and clients on a regular basis.


By getting involved in social networking right now, you will be able to position yourself as the expert in your niche. People will know who you are and associate you with your topic. There has never been a better time to be online than right now, and social networking speeds up the process of building your list and gaining the credibility and visibility necessary to sell your eBook and building your online empire.
