Talking about twitter with other Thurrock businesses

Category: Quick winsSarah Arrow @ 5:24 pm

This morning I met @iaproject to talk about twitter with a group of other Thurrock based businesses.

They must have thought I was insane talking blogs, Tradespaces and tweeting. It’s easy to forget that once upon a time I was new to this too and it all looked hard and complicated!

It’s hard to describe the community that supports people on twitter, it’s not like support in the offline world. I guess I have become used to it, I must remember not to take it for granted!

I also spoke about how I used to get upset and cry about some of the things people would write about me. I have since developed a thicker skin and taken out an injuction and spoke to the Israeli police… yes, there is redress for your online actions -  it happens in the offline world though :-)

So, here are some new people for you to look out for. They are Thurrock based business people who are enthusiastic about twitter :-)

@exteltweet

@thurrockuser

@petescott1955 and @petelouise who have a wonderful blog to write about Louise’s birthday present last year! I can’t wait to read it :-)

There are more to follow and I will add them in as I find them, please welcome them

PS If you were with us today and I have yet to find you, please add yourself in the comments :-)

Ideas for growing your blog readers

Category: Blogging tips, Quick winsSarah Arrow @ 7:42 pm

I have been busy launching my first collaborative blog – Birds on the Blog and I have been fortunate enough to chat on twitter with other bloggers launching theirs at the same time. Birds has done very well, 3000 page views in the first week and heading that way for the second week too :-) I am also blessed with bloggers who produce their drafts in time – maybe it’s because they are female ;-)

Talking  with each other about what they are doing has been very productive. What is interesting is we have the same ‘problems’ regarding multi author blogs, similar ideas…

… and we all have grand plans :-)

@TweetsBySkeet is the first to launch a competition on his blog – Top 10 Takeaways an no, it’s not about food takeaways…

Doug is offering the opportunity to become a sponsor of the blog by leaving a comment :) simple and effective.

For the SME that wins, that is a lot of page views and brand recognition for you, so go on over and make a comment, and make it a sensible one at that ;-)

If you market events then it’s a site worth keeping your eye on, and you can do this easily by becoming a Facebook fan. You can do this by clicking the link on the blog.

Good luck

Sarah
