This is our 2nd article about the use of twitter at Trump Initiative. Make sure you read the earlier article as a background prerequisite. Before we dive into marketing on Twitter, it’s important that you have a solid foundation to build on: a relevant username. Why is this important? Because your username is going to be visible every time you use Twitter. For example, if the twitter account will be used for your Real Estate (RE) investment business, your username needs to be either your full name, or something RE related, such as "IBuyNYCHomes" or "NYCForeclosures."
If you don’t already have an

What do an empty shopping mall and your brand new website have in common? If you guessed "zero traffic" then you are correct! Your website may have the most stunning design in the world, you may have the hottest product or service on the market, but without traffic you're going to make just as much as that empty mall: NOTHING. In order to jump start your marketing efforts without waiting for Google and the other search engines to rank your website, you need a secret weapon: pay per click marketing. Pay per click marketing allows you to test your product, service

If you're looking to expand your business by marketing on Facebook, you're not alone. Social Media Marketing is a great way to reach more potential clients with minimal effort and expense. There's definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about it though, and unfortunately most people get this horribly wrong. They're using a sledgehammer when they should be using a gentle nudge. Get this wrong and you're going to alienate your potential clients before you ever get your foot in the door.
When you make the decision to market your business on Facebook, you need to be aware of

You might have joined a few social networks in the past. My guess is Facebook or even MySpace! And you might have joined at least 1 business networking site such as LinkedIn. In fact, some people look to LinkedIn as more of a job networking site for career advancement as opposed to being a pure business networking site. LinkedIn, in fact offers both opportunities - a great resource for all of us.
What you need to know as entrepreneur, business owner or an investor, is that there are many niche business networking sites out there that can truly give your business an

After the startling success of MySpace and Facebook, the world has quickly caught on to another online phenomenon- Twitter. Suddenly, it seems as if this hitherto unknown portal is everywhere, in the news, in the papers, on the blogs, and in everyday conversations. Almost every celebrity has an account on Twitter, and they don't miss out on sending a few Tweets each day.
Understanding Twitter can be a bit of a challenge for the newcomer, as it features some really novel components and interfaces, which might come across as a bit of a problem initially. But more than using it, the real

The internet seems to be abuzz with new buzzwords and catch phrases every day. Initially, it was all about chat, IRC and newsgroups; then came Google; and now, we hear of the term Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) almost everywhere. To the uninitiated, this seems to be a mere online epidemic. Magazines talk of websites using the best SEO techniques, and so many businesses have sprung up to offer professional SEO. It is generally agreed that without SEO, your website has far less chance of being discovered.
But what does all this mean? What is SEO, and why should it affect anyone

There are many real estate investors who look into foreclosures as the primary method to make money in this economy. And these days, there are so many foreclosed properties out there that you can get lost just by having to choose from a whole range of distressed properties. One of the best ways to invest in foreclosures is to avoid the pre-auction stage and instead, buy properties with free and clear title after auctions, directly from banks and other financial institutions. These banks own hundreds to thousands of properties (internally known as non-performing assets) and want nothing but to take these

Like any online tool or platform out there, LinkedIn needs to be used tactically as well as efficiently if you really want to see results and get people talking about you. Many make the mistake of equating itwith other social networking services which are more suited to plain socializing, leading some to take contact and image building a bit too lightly. You should think of LinkedIn as being an online CV, posted for the entire business community to see. Therefore, you want your LinkedIn profile to present yourself as you would for a job interview.
Pay special attention to these pointers if

Video marketing is the new king on the block among popular marketing channels - not without good reason. You may be familiar with commercials from the television era, which have progressed to commercials and ads on the Internet during the current era of web 2.0. By now, people have developed a resistance that blinds them automatically to repeat commercials when they recognize that “hey, this is not information I am searching for but an advertisement trying to sell me something I may not need!” Marketing videos, on the other hand, are power packed with product information, visual description, and sometimes instruction

Strategies That Guarantee Benefits for Small Businesses and Investors
The day of obscurity is no longer a challenge to overcome. Social media marketing (SMM) has wiped out the concept of obscurity or the need for feverish marketing strategies to be counted among the who’s who in the business or professional yellow pages.
Social media involvement can help you keep customers, find and develop new ones, and manage your business reputation among other benefits. SMM as a new addition to your traditional marketing method is not at all similar to buying the latest fashion accessory. If that is the approach or mindset you adopt,
