building fortunes online
I have been Twittering for a while and have started to gain a good following. It’s not so much about the number of followers but the quality. I get Twitters from those are have similar interests such as DotNetNuke, Internet Marketing and Entrepreneurship.
So it got me thinking, how else can we use Twitter effectively in business. Much like any other social media tools, without proper plan and control, the tool will become more of a distraction. Worse if it becomes an obsession!
You may not have thought much about this, but does your website actually make you want to keep it updated? And does it actually make you want to work harder on creating interesting content with the combination of good creative copy-writing, images that speak and videos that pull attention? I’m telling you, you need to tell your designers the design has to make you work!
Yeah, I miss my mother. Work is picking up, and as an entrepreneur, I am very happy to be busy.

This is the first time that I came to know about such an organisation and apparently, it hasn’t even been launched yet. They are planning to do so next month. Unfortunately for them, before they took their first step, they are being trampled on while crawling. How sad…
