What’s new 5-11-11

May 11, 2011 in news and info by fouts | Comments closed

Lots of new things going on around here.

Janet Fouts, our Social Media Coach tells us how she defines social media.and a little social history lesson too.

Over at the Social Media Coaching Center she gives us an update on Facebook secure browsing and what that means for the small business who thought they could easily build tabs for their Facebook page.

Back on Janet’s site she’s got a post on how to be personal, and yet not too personal in social media circles and how to really get your fans to engage with you as a human. After all, they’d rather take advice from somebody they know, wouldn’t you? Where do you draw the line?

Take a little time to follow the links to these discussions and add your own comments to the mix. That’s what it’s all about right?

And don’t forget to check out what our clients are up too! CJ Brasiel, San Jose Realtor talks about downsizing or remodeling your home for the golden years.

Thirsty Girl is running a Tweet Chat next week from our friends at YouBetShiraz. Check ‘em out!

Facebook Success Toolkit

February 28, 2011 in sites we like by fouts | Comments closed

Build a Facebook Page

Everybody is nervous about the deadline on March 11 when Facebook will no longer allow users to add new FBML applications to their Facebook page. Lots of people see this as a good thing, (including me) as FBML has lots of quirks and any coder is doing back flips to be able to design real PHP pages and deliver content in a frame instead of having to thread it through all the FBML and strip out a lot of the functionality they could be offering on a typical web page.

On the other hand FBML does a few things that we can’t do yet with iframed content on a web site. Sure, you can use the social plugins and some code to do a lot of it, but it’s not all there yet. Besides, if you’re not a coder, or don’t have one working for you, it can be a bit daunting to create a Facebook application and the code for the iframes yourself.

So what’s a girl to do?
Easy. Go follow this tutorial to add FBML tabs to your Facebook Page now in case you need them. Nobody will know, you remove the tabs from the navigation like this. This buys you some time to decide if you want to use FBML or you’re ready to jump into iframes.

Now for the exciting part!
We’ve been hard at work pulling together a series of step by step tutorials to show you how do do both FBML and iFrame Facebook pages, complete with code you can download to customize for your own pages. We’re calling it the Facebook Success Kit and it’s loaded up with tutorials for both FBML and iFrame tutorials, source code, strategies and tips and tricks to build a successful business page on Facebook.

If you want to keep on top of the changes on Facebook and understand how it affects your business you can Google your brains out or read a pile of RSS feeds or you can trust us to filter out the best stuff and tell you all about it on the site. Check it out.

What are you planning for 2011?

December 26, 2010 in news and info by fouts | Comments closed

2010 was a pretty amazing year for us. We merged with Tatu Digital Media and WordPress has become a major part of our business. So much so that we’ve pulled together a series of WordPress Classes to share with our clients as well as anyone who wants to learn how to use WordPress as a content management system or a simple blog. If you need a WordPress site created, drop us an email and let’s talk!

We created the Social Media Coaching Center, where you can learn how to use social media tools and networks as well as pull together a social media strategy for your business or personal brand. There are step by step videos and how-to’s as well as downloads and webinars. If you want to learn to use social media, this is the place. Hey, and if what you need are step by step tutorials for your own software or web product, we can do that for a lot less than you might think. Founding partner Janet Fouts offers webinars as well as hands on workshops for social media and online marketing.

Janet has taken off with her private practice as a social media coach, offering a wealth of services to enrich your social media outreach. She’s also speaking nation-wide to large audiences as well as conducting corporate training and workshop sessions around social media and online marketing. (No, the two are not synonymous. Ask Janet for more on that.)

So what’s going to happen in 2011? We’re re-building the web site (in WordPress of course) and will be offering more tutorials for our friends and clients here as well as more news and information. We’ve got some iphone apps in the works and we are going to be developing sites for the spankin’ new Google TV. Look for some very interesting projects coming from Tatu and Janet over the next few months. We’re going into the new year ready for new projects!

WordPress Tutorial Series From the Social Media Coaching Center

October 13, 2010 in sites we like by fouts | Comments closed

WordPress
It’s no secret that I think WordPress is the best blogging platform, and I recommend it for Websites too. WordPress can enable you to create an online presence for a fraction of what a traditional web site costs and have an easy to use content management system (CMS) to boot. Installing, configuring and training on WordPress is a big part of our business at Tatu Digital.

Over the years we’ve gotten so used to using it that it’s pretty much second nature for us, but that’s not so for everyone. We get a lot of questions on how to use WordPress, from basic “How do I create a page?” to how to install themes, using the editor, what plugins to use, etc., and it just makes sense to create a series of tutorials to share with our clients and the members of the Social Media Coaching Center.

It makes even more sense to offer it as a series of classes so that everybody can use it–for themselves or to offer to their own clients–(we’ve got an affiliate program) so we just launched WordPress-Classes.com. There are over 20 tutorials in the series right now, something for all skill levels, and just for the launch period we’re offering the entire series for $50. Sign up now and you get access to all the tutorials we add later too.

When’s the price going to go up?
I don’t know yet. It depends on response and how many new tutorials we add. We’ve got to cover our costs after all, and we can’t keep adding things and not raise the price.

Where are the new tutorials going to come from?
We’re asking our users to submit questions they need answers too. Who better to drive the process than the people who need it? We’ll create new ones based on that input and add them to the list. We already know we’ll be doing more tutorials on how to use the Thesis, Genesis and Headway themes and some of our favorite plugins. We’re open to ideas and it’s built right into the classes.

Check out our WordPress classes and help us spread the word.

Learn Social Media the Easy Way

December 28, 2009 in sites we like by fouts | Comments closed

You can’t afford not to learn about social media these days. It’s everywhere and it’s the most inexpensive way to boost your visibility both on-line and off-line. Search engines love social media sites because the information is “organic” coming from real people and every time a link is shared it’s value increases.

Surveys show that people are suing social networks to make buying decisions like their next video camera, tv or even car. Perhaps more important to the small business owner users are deciding where to go for coffee, find the nearest bookstore or dry cleaner using social media on their cell phones.

OK, all that’s good, but you’ve got a business to run right? You don’t have time to spend all day on Facebook or Twitter or to learn how all this stuff works. Doesn’t it take hours per day? How do you even begin to learn all this? Well, you could just ignore it and hope it goes away, or you could decide to add social media to your marketing strategy and learn how to use social media through the Social Media Coaching Center.

The coaching center brings together some amazingly talented social media practitioners who teach how all this really works in small easy to digest pieces. The site helps you decide which social media sites will work for you and build a social media strategy for your own business that really works. Want to learn Twitter? Visit the quick start pages to get the basics down and then dive into the Twitter category for more advanced information. The same goes if you want to learn how to use Facebook, learn LinkedIn, how to use video in your social media strategy and much much more in the social media tutorials. New content is added often and the team is always on top of the latest tools.

As if that isn’t enough you can ask any social media questions you like on the ask us page and the team will research and find the answers for you. In many cases they even build a step by step social media tutorial to show you how to do it!

So? What are you waiting for? Take this opportunity to learn about social media for skilled practioners at the Social Media Coaching Center.
