Social Networking in the “Real World” – Rule #1

This week was really the first opportunity for me to get out and meet some of the great people I get to Tweet and meet on Twitter and Facebook. Man I met so many cool peeps at the ChannelAdvisor Catalyst event this week. I got reels and reels of killer content and pages of notes to compile and share. BUT, the first thing I want to get out there is rule #1 for meeting people that you follow in social networks. So here it is and I hope you get it, cause it is really kind of important. As you guys venture to different summits or conferences, just keep rule #1 in mind would you? Rule #1 is...

What the HASH?!? What The Hell Is a #Hash Tag…Finally Revealed

I get this question all the freakin time! People ask me over and over when I am addressing them about Twitter and mention hash tags. Why is there so much confusion over a simple # sign and a few letters? I guess it all starts with the geek speak they like to put around it, huh? Wikipedia  says: A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are chosen informally and personally by the...

The ULTIMATE Guide to the eBay Changes for June

Well, eBay has made its changes and boy it is a lot of work AGAIN for eBay seller to deal with. I guess if you constantly change directions you will ultimately end up somewhere right? LMAO. I am not sure what direction eBay wants to go in right now, but they seem to have a glimmer of hope. eBay hopes that making the changes which they should have made back in 2004-2005 will help. What would have been “major” advancements in ecommerce 5 years ago, now seem rather hoo-hum. These moves at eBay are sort of like throwing out the ugly shag carpeting in the guest room, FINALLY.

Taking Your Business 2 The Next Level with Technology – JB is The Man to Do Ya!

By now, anyone that listens to my weekly radio show (B.S. Walks When Money Talks) is already familiar with Jeff Brathwaite or JB as he likes to call himself. JB has been a good resource for my business for nearly 5 year and we have become truly great friends in the process . I am such a tech geek that speaking to some other business owners is like talking in French. Over the years I have found that while these executives and CEO are wizards with a balance sheet, they are “lost” in a spreadsheet if there are no graphs. One of the things that many businesses are missing is the use of...
