Create an Easy Link to Your Facebook Account

Ever been frustrated when you want someone to add your Facebook account and they can't find you or your company's Page when they go searching for it? Drives me crazy.

This is difficult because Facebook does not allow you to have your own designated URL. For example, MySpace allows you to choose your own URL - i.e. www.myspace.com/whateverIwant. Mine is www.myspace.com/kmellott.

Facebook makes it a little messy, if you want my opinion, although there is always a brilliant third-party application that someone has created to make our lives easier. And I found it!

Simply add the application to give yourself a more clean-looking URL. Mine is
http://companies.to/mellottmarketinggroup/

This is available for companies, celebrities, or regular groups or profiles.

Check out this quick-fix here and your issues will be solved:
http://apps.facebook.com/webaddress/

Hope that makes it easier for all of your adoring fans and clients to find you on Facebook! Getting there shouldn't be the most challenging part!

Tweet, tweet!

For the laugh of the day:




Are you tweeting enough? It's like working out - the more you sweat, the better results you get. Put in the time and you'll be glad you met so many great new people!

So Easy To Promote!

My Act TV :: Talent Broadcast Network

Posted using ShareThis

Don't click quite yet, but take a look at the above link. What do you think it means? Why am I posting this? Well, I had to share another example of how powerful social networking is becoming for different people.

This link leads to a video of my boyfriend performing at a recent event we hosted. As a professional entertainer/vocal coach in Los Angeles, his singing was captured in HD quality video and uploaded onto a site used to promote creative talent. So, what's the big deal about a guy singing, you ask?

The coolest part about discovering this new company, My Act TV, that just launched a few weeks ago, was the brilliant and EASY ways they installed to share this video with others.

Right underneath his video is a link that says "Share This." By clicking on it, another window pops up which gives you 45 different social networking websites to post it to. Yes, I counted them - 45!! My blog (Blogger) was one of them. After selecting the "Blogger" link in this window, it asked me for my log-in name and password. Only a click of the "Post" button, and then - BAM! - off it went. I came here to log-in and write about how cool this feature was.

For this company, the more exposure their artists receive the more exposure their company receives so it's advantageous for them to have every sharing site available. Makes sense, right?

It's the little - and convenient - things that I love. :)

Why Use Social Networking?

I made a fun, short little video for my website (www.MarketingMakesMeSmile.com) and wanted to share it.
