Wow! I’ve been listed!
I am so excited to be on the Forbes List as Thirty Women Entrepreneurs to follow on Twitter.
I am honoured to be in the company all those inspirational women.
Forbes’ Natalie MacNeil said:
“These business-savvy tweeters are all excited about helping you grow your company, create buzz for your brand and stay inspired.
Twitter has been an incredible tool for connecting with like-minded people from around the world. I am always on the lookout for women entrepreneurs and women in business to follow, connect with and learn from. The following 30 women entrepreneurs have excellent Twitter feeds to follow….. ”
So what does this mean to me and how can I, as a marketer, profit from this?
We women are not very good at blowing our own trumpet but we have to learn, not only to get a sound out but to play a good tune!
Here are my 10 tips on what to do when you have public recognition to shout about.
1. Turn your good news into a helpful article or blog, as I have done here.
2. Once you have created your blog, grab the URL and get it out across the web to social networks like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace etc.
3. Post your blog on all your group’s news pages on LinkedIn. If you are not a member and have not joined any groups then why not? (My blog about marketing on LinkedIn coming soon).
4. Add your news to your e-mail signature.
5. Use your news to prove your credibility, for instance when trying to get articles or books published.
6. Add to all your marketing brochures and publications.
7. Include the news in any advertising campaigns.
8. Create a banner that you can pop onto your website.
9. Send your news, together with a story about how you gained recognition, to your local or national newspaper editors.
10. And probably the most important thing to do is to say thank you to the journalist…if you can’t get to her or he directly, write to the editor or better still both!
Think on this…it’s great to feel you are important. The feeling is infectious and once you get the bug it will drive you to strive for even more success. But my tip here is, “What goes around, comes around”.
I believe that if you help others as much as you can then good things will happen to you!
Thank you so much Natalie, I’m truly honoured!
If anyone has any other ideas – love to hear them!
