Becoming a Web Star

Listening to a webinar entitled




"Social Media updates for Successful Business"



It is becoming clear that social media is the marketing tool of the future and that it is very effective right now. I am already collecting clients and business via facebook and twitter. http://www.facebook.com/jamesmcginty and @james8734.

As a new business I find this both exciting and daunting. I spend a lot of time updating these sites and also investigating you tube, slideshare, linkedin, ecademy, etc and it eats into time that could be productive in other areas. There is definitely scope for outsourcing at least some of these items.

What I have discovered is that the more you access social media, in a responsible fashion, the better known you become. As you become better known people begin to trust you and are then prepared to buy your products or services.


Jump on the social media band wagon now or get left behind.

Its never easy

I am am determined to become a regular blogger, but it's not that easy.  Finding the time every day can be a real chore as can finding fresh material.

My intention was to focus the blog on Public Speaking and related topics,  but I was using too narrow a mind set.  I will continue with the blog and update more often but will probably address a wider range of topics.  I have finally got to the stage of starting my own business.  Small beginiings.  I deliver my first "Personal Power" Course on 23rd April for the local community in Harwich.

I now have 2 websites http://www.bespeak.co.uk/ whioch will relate to all things public speaking and http://www.powerofchoice.co.uk/ which will relate to success through personal power.  I will be adding free resources to both sites so feel free to drop by.
