Relationships First: Some Days You Just Participate More!

Mari Smith’s “Relationships First” Online Marketing Tips eZine – February 5, 2009 issue
Subscription details at the foot.

Greetings from Lake Arrowhead, California!

My hubby, Ty, and I have a property up in the mountains here. (He loves the mountains way more than I do. I like to be in the heart of the city!)

Our motorhome is stationary for a wee bit – we’ll travel more in late spring. And I just got my beloved yellow VW Beetle “Marigold” out of storage after 18 months. hehee

I hope you’re doing awesome and enjoying the start of February!

Um, is it just me or do you often find that life speeds up so fast your day goes by in a blur? 🙂 I tweeted this out not long ago and was heartened to receive this response back from @Canterucci:

“@MariSmith I think life is always that fast. Some days you just participate more.”

Isn’t that cool? I like that perspective!

So, if ever you feel your day is really dragging at any time, just jump in and participate more! LOL.

Meantime, I wanted to update you on several more key events I’m involved with – lots of good ones to choose from! I hope to hear you on these calls and/or see you at the events!

Do you have your keywords set up on Twitter alert? You never know when your next best client is tweeting about the very problem you help to solve… or a media contact is looking to interview you about your expertise! Be sure to set up an array of your industry keywords and phrases, then follow and respond to people as appropriate.

[For reputation management and seeing where you may want to comment, also set up alerts for your own domain name(s), and your own name including any common misspellings].

There are several great sites to set up Twitter alerts:

I’ve used http://tweetbeep.com for some time; they just came back online this week after a wee server challenge. Creator @mdjensen (Michael Jensen) is awesome.
There’s also http://tweetlater.com that provides a great array of Twitter tools, including alerts. Developer @dewaldp provides wonderful customer service.
Then there’s a new one I just came across http://twilert.com made by @danleach.

I recommend just one of these – but certainly check ’em all out if you wish.

Congratulation on the second issue, (at least this time, ‘Greetings, %$firstname$%!’ doesn’t come up anymore).

I had a chance to listen to Ali’s teleseminar on her Ali Magazine launch. Inspiring.

Friendfeed has been a great platform for me to check tweets. I think FF would be the next platform after FB.

I know today’s going to be a really busy one and that thought (some days you just participate more!) is really going to help me through it! Thanks!

Mari,

I have fond memories of Lake Arrowhead. The summer I graduated from high school, I lived up there with a friend of mine and we played on the lake during the day and bussed tables at the only fancy restaurant at that time in the Village. Enjoy your stay there.
