http://www.mikestenger.com Twitter is an amazing platform and especially great for businesses and marketers to connect with target market. No matter if you're a business or individual though, here's two things to keep in mind when using Twitter that will allow you to do much better and even grow a bigger following.

http://www.mikestenger.com Communication is an everyday part of everyday life. Without it, things would be very hard for you and I. In knowing some of the issues people face when it comes to communication effectively, I decided to make this little 2 part series to help you become a better communicator. Hope this helps!

http://www.twehab.com So, if you're a business owner and really want to be successful on Twitter, you must realize that you've got to engage and interact with others. One of the best ways to do that is to not only engageract as I like to say, with your own followers, but with other people you may have not met yet. Twitter search allows you to do exactly that. Now, a while back I reviewed one of my favorite Twitter keyword search tools, Twazzup (here's the video: http://bit.ly/80Xl6I) and it was pretty awesome. However, I found some really cool advanced search tactics within Twitter's search and want to share them with you.

http://www.mikestenger.com Doing different is a good thing but it's not always the best choice depending on what and the situation. I talk about a big example of why going against the grain was actually hurting my success and what you should do when faced with the decision of doing differently or continuing what you're already doing.

http://www.mikestenger.com Customer service is an integral part of every business. Businesses, a lot of times, live or die by their customer service. Some neglect it and that's why then end up losing to one of their competitors. The bottom line is if you want to be successful, you've got to provide great customer service. And the fact is, it's pretty dang easy to do.

http://www.mikestenger That headline is a little confusing. Give me a second to explain. Perfect is defined as being entirely without fault or defect. As you probably know by now, perfection is something very hard to come by. In this video, I eliminate a big myth about perfection and teach you how to be awesome at not being perfect, while still getting the things that you want.

http://www.mikestenger.com We all gotta work for a living and we all do different things. Some of us work for the man and then there are those of us who work for ourselves. At any given moment, we have different projects we need to be working on. There's a big mistake being made with, I'd say, at least 95% of us and today I mention an extremely simple way of doing projects better and getting them done faster. QOTD: How many projects are you working on and what can you do right now to get a certain key project finished ASAP? Leave a comment or shoot me an @reply on Twitter (http://twitter.com/mikestenger) to give me your two cents.

http://www.twehab.com This is a personal favorite of mine, Cotweet, and has some pretty cool functionality. They have a free version which should be plenty and also a paid version. Oh, and it's web based so anywhere you have an internet connect, you can log on.

http://www.mikestenger.com Success is something that is pursued with an absolute vengeance in our society. We want success, we want to be a success, and some people will go extremely far to get it. You want to achieve things whether it be more money, a better car, or even a new computer. A couple days ago I learned of a new "method" to acheiving more of what you want. In todays video, that's exactly what I get into.

http://www.mikestenger.com I put together a video review of a newer book out there called "Crush It! Why Now Is The Time To Cash In On Your Passion" by Gary Vaynerchuck aka @garyvee in the Twitter world. Been meaning to do this review for a long time now, or so it seems, and just now got around to it. Very quick yet straightforward and informative read, about 140-ish pages and full of, well, let's see...

http://www.mikestenger.com You hear about passion a lot. And there's a good reason for it...Those who aren't passionate about what they do, will have a hard time ever becoming happy and fully fulfilled. We all have some sort of passion. Some of us know what ours is better than others. But converting that passion into action into actual cash money, is another story. Here are 4 steps to doing so...

http://www.mikestenger.com Money, money, money. It's a very touchy topic ever since the economic decline that hit last year. Truth be told though, some companies are STILL crushing it. Here's some great examples and the things that they are doing so well.

http://www.mikestenger.com One of the key things that every business owner wants to know is how to grow your business. These two questions are very important and will allow you to do so and in a very big way.

http://www.mikestenger.com To any online business owner, traffic and the ability to convert that traffic is and always will be an important topic. What's been on my mind though, especially with all the talk going on in the industry about the importance to get more traffic, is it might not be the most important. You see, increase conversion is important to but today I dig down to see just what is more important. The answer may surprise you....

http://www.mikestenger.com Today we talk about self-fulfilling prophecies and how they are constantly a deciding power in what and who we become. Next time you think about calling yourself fat, thinking you never have money, or that you're not that good, think again.

http://www.mikestenger.com Money. I talk about it and the disasterous effects that have been happening the last couple years. There are two key concepts that will keep this evil power from taking over your life.

http://www.mikestenger.com Chances are, you could be making a lot more money, even from things you already do. There's a big issue that I see with a mass majority of business owners and regular, every day people. I call it the YSS epidemic and address it and how to make more money with what you're already doing, not the other way around.

http://www.mikestenger.com We always hear about "value" in the business world. But instead, let's take it to the next level with a little thing called compounded value. Well, if you did, you would see some pretty killer results.

http://www.twehab.com Unexpected things happen all the time. An account gets accidentally suspended or an account gets randomly deleted. You use to be able to backup just your hard drive and that was it. Now, you can backup all your social media accounts (it supports quite a few of 'em) with a service called "Lifestream Backup". They have a free option where you can backup just your Twitter account and all it's data (tweets, followers, etc.) In this video, I walk you through setting up a free account for backing up your Twitter. If you need more than that, Lifestream Backup is actually very affordable.

Here you can learn from some examples of mine where these branding strategies came into play, and how they can help you with building a brand that gets noticed and is recognized as a leader.

http://www.mikestenger.com Today I talk about the concept of deleted value and give you some quick ways to prevent it from happening. Otherwise, you could be looking at losing a lot of money or relationships in the long run.

http://www.mikestenger.com Mindmapping software is a fantastic and much more effective way of organizing notes, ideas, and a whole lot more. There's a lot of mind map software out there, some free, some you pay monthly, and others that are high-end, several hundred dollars to purchase. Here's an online based and free mind mapping software that has some yeah, pretty basic functionalities but seriously, "Do you need all those do-hickeys & thingamabobs?"

http://www.mikestenger.com If you need a good time recording software, you'll notice there's a TON of programs to choose from, some web based and others not.

http://www.twehab.com On August 6th, 2009, Twitter was a victim of a DDOS attack. Site was down. Then it was back up. Then it didn't work for a ton of people. I explain exactly what the attack meant but also why it wasn't as bad as people made it to be. Sure, it sucked for Twitter and lost them some good publicity. The truth remains however, well, just watch the video.

It claims to help you get more visitors to your site and I can see why: It engages your readers more and provides a better experience for them. They like it, they're gonna tell people about it :-)
