These practical tips will help make sure you justify all that time spent on Twitter!
Selling on Twitter – SMW Glasgow presentation
As part of Social Media Week Glasgow, I was invited to speak at a Business Banter event on Tuesday 20 September. It was a fantastic event – if you didn’t manage to make it along, a video of my short, five minute presentation is available here.
The transcript is as follows:
I’ve only got five minutes so [...]
Social Media Week Glasgow
Next Tuesday morning, between 8 and 11am, I will be speaking at one of the Social Media Week Events – Business Banter.
I was very kindly invited to speak by Jacky – Martin Jack, managing director of Think Different Events. Jacky is one of those guys who just gets it. He has spent a year building [...]
Laws for Twitter?
So it turns out Ryan Giggs name was not revealed by ‘disgruntled tabloid journalists’ on Twitter – rather a ‘leftie banker’ from Guildford.
If, like me, you’re a bit fed up with this super-injunction debate, you’ll probably be thinking ‘who cares?’
Well, I’d argue that this proves something I’ve always suspected: journalists use social media differently and, [...]
Why should social media be part of my PR strategy?
Look at this screenshot:
The top three results refer to the website. Then:
4th: Twitter
5th: Twitter
6th: Facebook

For me, at the beginning, shyness held me back. I’d tweet once that I’d blogged and hope that people would come. I didn’t necessarily tell my Facebook friends [...]
Snow Business-Twitter to the rescue
Last week I made this video blog about the snow and the different reactions people had
to coping with the weather. Then Monday happened.
A weekend thaw lulled us all into a false sense of security and I, like most of the country,
ventured out in the Monday rush hour only to get a nasty surprise. In a [...]
Blogging from the beach
My second video blog was from the beach in Sharm El Sheikh – just because a couple of
my Twitter friends suggested it and to see how easy it would be…
I wouldn’t advise it! There’s way too much background noise for a start (waves,
passing boats, general conversation around me) and also too many distractions.
But it was [...]
5 tips from New Media Breakfast’s 1st Birthday
You’ve got to love free legal advice – even if it’s not what you want to hear. You’ve also got to love a breakfast meeting that begins with Champagne – even if you’re pregnant and can’t drink it. Today was the 1st Birthday of the New Media Breakfast, so to celebrate Fatbuzz brought together a [...]
Follower numbers – it’s quality, not quantity
If you forked out for a stand at an exhibition, would you rather say hello to all 500 delegates as they entered the hall or have meaningful conversations with 20 visitors who turned into clients? It’s easier to wave than engage, but it won’t cover the cost of your stand.
