Start a blog
For busineses and nonprofits a blog is a way to post archival material, get feedback and generally add to the value of your site. Google LOVES blogs and linking your blog to your website boosts your search engine rankings. My favorite blog service is easy to use and costs only the time spent playing at WordPress.com.
eNewsletters
Inexpensive and green, eNewsletters are a great alternative to mailings. When concise and filled with valuable info or coupons, it is welcomed by clients, rather than tossed as junk mail. My fave has a free 30 day trial and after that it starts at a $15/mo. That’s a mere 35 stamps! ConstantContact.com.
Facebook
Social networking is here to stay, why not see what it’s about? Facebook is free, painless, and offers amazing ways to network with other individuals and organizations. The event promotional tools alone are worth the time. Facebook
Twitter
Wouldn’t it be great to make a quick little announcement to a bazillion people all at once? Maybe about a fundraising event or holiday promotion that’s coming up? Twitter it!
Jott
Jott provides the simple but useful ability to say things into your phone and have them show up online. Want to make a quick note? Need to text someone while driving? How bout returing emails – by speaking? Speed dial Jott, say what you want and where you want it to go, and it’s done. And it’s free! Jott
These services are easy to use but if you just don’t have the time to explore them, I offer packages and training and can match your new goodies to your existing website’s colors, logo, etc. Feel free to contact me.
