Social Media Expert Tara Williams (Atlanta) on Small Business Local Advertising
I work with a lot of different businesses that need to have an online presence that targets their local area. There are many options that are available for small businesses to advertise online like Yp (Yellow Pages) and many others that have been around for a while that are good for small businesses.
Because I am an expert in Online Marketing and Social Media I want to share some valuable information to all of my small business owners. Storeboard is an online directory/business social network for small businesses that want to gain local exposure.
I like Storeboard #1 reason is because I get an amazing ROI advertising with them.

Storeboard offers several packages: Storeboard Plus for $9.00 a month , Storeboard Pro $19.00 per month, Storeboard Master $149.00 per month ,Storeboard Concierge $99.00 per month. I recommend the Storeboard Concierge for $99.00 per month.

Storeboard has been providing a lot of activity not only to my Storeboard profile but also to my website, videos and blogs on other sites. This activity has been generating a lot of inquiries from emails to phone calls from prospective customers interested in my services for Online Marketing (SEO,PPC) and Social Media. With all of the activity that I have gotten from Storeboard it has resulted in closed business that more than pays for the cost of advertising on Storeboard. Yes ROI, when you are a small business you have in many cases a limited budget for advertising. Advertising is a key factor to your businesses success. But you have to be smart about how you appropriate those advertising dollars. With that in mind Storeboard for $99.00 a month is a great investment to advertise your business locally. And if you are a serious business owner that wants to advertise locally $99.00 should not be an impossible investment for you to make, in your business!!!! Because with any business, you have to invest money in order to make money.
You Can Choose Your City, State or Country that you want to advertise your business in and if you want to market in multiple places that is also an option. So you are not just limited to local advertising if your business needs to have an online presence in other places as well.

Are You An Independent Artist, Music Label, Writer, DJ,Singer ,Musician or Promoter? Heard of My Music Circle?
I write a lot about leveraging Social Media networks to help you in your business and career. There are so many different networks that are available and that are very beneficial. Many of the Social Networks that are out here have very specific purposes. Because I work with a lot of people in the entertainment industry I do try to enlighten that core group of people about Social Networks that can benefit their business and career.
I get contacted by Independent labels, artists, writers, actors, music producers, musicians,dj’s and promoters all the time. They call from all over east coast, west cost and everyone has the same thing in common. How do I make money doing what I love? How do I get my music out to people that are interested in paying me for my talent? They need to get exposure but they have an immediate need to find ways to make money with their craft. While these independent artists are trying to gain online exposure they need to specifically market themselves to earn some income and to showcase their work to people that are actually searching for their specific area of expertise in the entertainment field.
Just like with Linked In it is a Social Network that people use to network to make business connections. When people go to My Music Circle http://www.mymusiccircle.com/main.php?rid=PTTRFP”>myMusicCircle.com it is because they have a current project or “Gig” that they are looking for people to hire or because they have a talent that they want to showcase to get work “Gig”. The network has free and paid version of course you have different benefits with each. But I will say that free versions of all Social Networks do provide you with results. So I always start out with free versions, and many times stay with the free version because if you are marketing actively on Social Media you can maximize the free version by using many different networks at the same time. I currently use over 200 Social Networks all free versions and it provides me with a huge amount of exposure and through that exposure I get a lot of business.
To check out the choices that I use to market for free through Social Media got to :http://www.xeeme.com/whoistara, this list all my Social Network activity and is updated weekly with new information.
Also Join my Leverage Social Media & Online Marketing Network for helpful relating to leveraging Social Media: http://www.whoistara.ning.com
My Music Circle mission is: Is to help reach the next phase of the music evolution. We feel that music should unite our experts in the industry. And being that the industry is divided today; we want to bring it together because we feel that power comes through union.
Our tools, digital workflows and concepts in the myMusicCircle model will enable business relationships to come together as well as empower our professionals to see new streams of revenues by putting to full use these innovative tools. And all for the end of results of helping new and experienced professionals with a platform where they can continue to deliver quality to the music industry and those who consume it.
myMusicCircle has a nature to contribute to the growth and advancement of all the professionals within the music industry. The reason behind this is because the founder of mMC had a vision that came to him when he began his journey as an independent artist.
Henry M Bueno holds a professional background & degree as a software engineer. Yet, since early on, he developed a passion for music and decided to enter into the arena of creating his own music. As many independent musicians usually do, he quickly realized that getting in and getting started was not as simple as he thought. He did not have “the contacts”, he did not know the someone that knew the someone that would develop his music production.
It suddenly hit him and he had to question: “Why is there not a one place or one stop shop where I can go to find and hire professionals in the music industry? ”That kept on his mind throughout his whole journey of doing everything from scratch. Throughout time and much
money spent, he met reputable producers, musicians, studio owners, promoters, marketers and creative professionals that agreed to having gone through the same struggles. So a few years later, Henry created myMusicCircle to help others relieve the frustrations of finding and working with qualified and talented industry professionals.
With myMusicCircle, now music professionals and freelancers can find more work and let more work find them. On the other note, people looking to hire music industry professionals and get a service or project done, can find the talent they are looking for.

Social Media, Future, Freebandz, Lil Mexico Cash In$$. http://spon.tw/r7IYO
Everyone is screaming I need more Twitter followers. People ask all the time. Are you on Twitter? How many followers do you have? And these are questions that have just become very common. I ask people are you on Twitter? Are your Twitter followers targeted? Are your Twitter followers engaged. Do you have influence over your Twitter followers?
The difference between my questions and the ones you hear normally is that I am focused on the power that you can hold with the right Twitter followers. I was at a barbecue yesterday with "Future's" family #freebandz. Future is a local rapper from Atlanta's Kirkwood area, Zone 6 in East Atlanta, who has taken the world by storm with his unique voice, great beats, and catchy ad libs. Future has every one saying "Racks on Racks"," Tony Montana", "Pluto", "Same Damn Time", "Keisha" to name a few terms from his songs that have become infectious. Just think how many times you have been hearing people say at "the Same Damn Time" I have said it, heard people on T.V. and radio use the term. Future is not only creating music that people love but he is also creating a movement. A movement that starts right in the center of Kirkwood, Zone 6 where it all began for him as a child. Freebandz is the movement and is a culture that breeds Atlanta. His family and extended Kirkwood family display their allegiance and commitment to the movement. They are proud to wear the Freebandz clothing, get tattoos representing Freebandz and the movement. The movement is progressing right along with the continued popularity of Future’s latest album release.
How do you get your FREEBANDZ??? http://spon.tw/r7IYO
Many of Future's family members are of course heavily involved in Social Media. They use Instagram, Twitter, Facebook to name a few of the Social Media avenues that they post to on a daily basis. Something that I enlightened his family about yesterday was that as a result of them being related to "Future" and being a part of the Freebandz movement they have followers. The followers of “Freebandz” and “Future” and loyal, engaged and that holds a lot of power. The power is held not just for the artist "Future" but also for those people in his family that are getting a following of their own because of their association to "Future, "Lil Mexico" and "Freebandz".
So this is a great example of how you can leverage your influence with Twitter. Because you have Twitter followers that are loyal, engaged and under your influence you have to decide what do you do with this power? Well, so people may just get excited to know that they have some influence. But the smart thing to do is to find a way to leverage that power to make money.
I have Blogged about using Sponsored Tweets before and some people get it and some people don’t. But I wanted to blog about this again because every day I meet people that have already established themselves on Twitter and are missing money that they should be getting. I used the example about :”Future” Atlanta’s newest superstar because I want everyone that is a part of the Freebandz movement directly and indirectly to make money from being in the movement. http://spon.tw/r7IYO. If you have Twitter followers and they are engaged and you influence them you need to leverage that and put some cash in your hands. http://spon.tw/r7IYO.
Many people that I work with to help them setup a plan for making income from online are local artists, local musicians, public figures, sports figures, comedians, actors, popular people are primary candidates to make money using Sponsored Tweets. http://spon.tw/r7IYO . So even though I in this blog I am using an example of a specific person “ Future” this is an example to help you see from a real life situation how you can leverage you followers to make money.

Tara Williams talkes about Pinerly (Pinalytics) for Pinterest
Of course I love Pinterest like so many other people. I love Pinterest for the great fashion, amazing recipes, but I love it most of all because it can be used as a great branding tool. Anyone that knows me knows that I love Social Media, love to network, enjoy talking, shopping and making money. So Pinterest is becoming one of my favorite Social Media Tools because it merges everything that I truly love all in one. Being a business person to the core I always need to have the numbers, reports to analyze. I always need numbers to show what is working. It makes it so much easier when you can review the numbers to measure activity. Numbers don't lie...... So with Social Media I always use tools that help me to measure the activity of my Social Media efforts, this allows me to make adjustments and gather information so that I can make needed adjustments. So HOORAY!!!!!! We now have Pinerly that will allow you to setup Pinterest campaigns and determine how many clicks, likes, repinns. Yes a way to measure activity on Pinterest. That is huge. Pinerly is on the right track and has many enhancements that are on the horizon to make it an even more affect tool.

Anywhere you have an online presence, you can influence people by creating or sharing content that inspires actions such as likes, retweets, comments and more. The more attention your posts receive, the more influential you are. Klout uses this information to provide you a Klout Score that measures your overall influence.
So how does it help you ?
Well I know you will be asking why do I need another application to log into, that is just human nature.
Klout provide you with insights to help you better understand your own influence:
Do others trust your opinions online?
- What topics are you the most influential on?
- How do you compare with your friends?
So what does your score mean ?
Your Klout Score measures your online influence on a scale of 1 to 100
People have always had the power to influence others, and that power is being affected with new social media tools. Klout's mission is to provide insights into everyone's influence.
Klout measures your influence based on your ability to drive action in social networks. We process this data on a daily basis to give you an updated Klout Score each morning.
Other networks that we're working to measure are Facebook Pages, Youtube, Instagram,Tumblr, Blogger, WordPress, Last.fm and Flickr. You can already link these accounts with your Klout profile, and we look forward to incorporating your activity from these networks to our score soon.
Add your Klout score to your blog or website.
If you are able to add Html to your website then you can add this code to it.

Why Do Professionals In All Industries Need a Social Media Strategy?
Why do professionals in all industries need a strategy when using Social Media?
You have to get a strategy in place when you decide to use social media
as a professional, a strategy is a must!! Many professionals because
you either feel the pressure from everyone to setup online profiles on
Facebook, Linked In, get on Twitter, start Pinning on Pinterest, Get on
Foursquare, Post You Tube Videos and so on and so on. You can be tempted
to quickly create these profiles without any thought or with any method
to the madness. I am definitely in favor of anyone that is embracing
Social Media. I am excited about professionals in all industries that
are coming to understand the importance and the urgency of getting
involved in Social Media. For professionals and executives that do not
have the time to handle developing a Social Media Strategy, implement
and maintain their Social Media Strategy, they can hire Social Media
Experts to handle those tasks. www.socialmediatrainingwheels.net.
A
strategy is really important because it will give you direction, ensure
a consistent image and brand you in your area of expertise. Using a
strategy for social media enables you to put out the right information
in the correct forum for your personal and or professional goals.
Because there are a vast amount of Social Media outlets you can become
overwhelmed and confused about what you should be using. So again the
strategy and working with a Social Media Expert will help you to
determine what Social Media Tools are correct for your personal and
professional goals. www.socialmediatrainingwheels.net
Whether you are working with a Social Media Expert or developing your own strategy you need to think about some basic questions. What are your goals with using Social Media? What do you want to achieve using Social Media? Who is your target audience? Do you want to brand yourself or your business? Are you interested in monitoring your competition, or other professionals in your industry to stay on the cutting edge? Do you want to engage an audience? Do you want to develop solid business connections? Are you interested in using Social Media for new business development? Do you want a way to measure the success of your Social Media activities? Can you afford to spend the time to devote to this important task?
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Social Media for
Professionals is not something you need to put off any longer. If you
have started using Social Media, STOP if you do not have a plan. If you
are thinking about using Social Media and are not sure where to begin
STOP. Contact a Social Media Expert that understands how to use Social
Media and leverage these tools for professional and for business. Social
Media is a great tool when you have the experience of someone that
understands that very important principle. Social Media Tools Leveraged
For the Professional.

Tara Williams Social Media Tools Part 1, If It's Free.. It's Me...
Part 1 Social Media Tools Featuring Linked In, Twitter.
Tara Williams with Social Media Training Wheels (www.socialmediatrainingwheels.net)
I specialize in working with professionals on understanding the benefits of using Social Media and how to maximize the free tools of Social Media to get business, develop business relationships, brand yourself, your business, product or service. In this blog I am highlight an introduction to Why you should use Linked In and Twitter.
ITS'
FREE............... Not sure about you but if it's free it's me. I get a
lot of business and develop amazing relationships for business using
Social Media.
Why you need a profile on Linked In?
Linked In is free!!!!!! Did I say Linked In is Free!!!!! You can set up
a profile on Linked In, group pages on Linked In for free. Linked In
provides you with the ability to setup a profile make connections with
other professionals, showcase your background and business expertise,
and optimize your profile for better organic search on the major search
engines. Linked In does have a paid version that provides you with other
levels of connecting and more advanced search capabilities. Those paid
features do provide great ways of prospecting and having the paid option
is great. But, the free version can provide you with amazing results. I
have tested this theory, whether I have a paid version or a free
version I still maintain a high average of daily visitors to my profile,
have off the charts stats for showing up in search results on Linked In
and get on average 25 to 30 calls a week from prospects and on average
45 to 50 Linked In inbox messages from prospective clients. Linked In is
a great resource and is a tool that if used correctly you will truly
reap wonderful results for your business. Making connections,
developing new business, showcasing and branding your business and
personal branding can all be achieved by using Linked In.
Check out my Linked In Profile: www.linkedin.com/whoistarawilliams
Why you need a Twitter account?
Twitter is free!!!!!! Yes again Twitter is free!!!! Twitter is not just
about telling people what you are doing. Twitter is now a very
important tool for professionals and businesses. With 140 characters you
can post an 'update' which will show in the 'timeline' of your
followers. And in your timeline you will see the updates of people you
follow. Your Twitter profile can be optimized to enable you better
organic search on major search engines. Your Twitter profile is a great
tool to bring traffic to your website and to showcase your business,
product or service. Through sending out Tweets on a regular basis about
interesting subject matter relating to your industry, product or service
you will draw in people that are interested and want to follow your
Tweets. When people follow you it is important to Direct Message those
people and make personal introductions. I like to make things personal,
and it is important to connect with your followers. When you use Twitter
you should understand the use of certain symbols that are important in
the world of Twitter. @whoistara ( you use the @ symbol when you want to
directly reference someone in conversation.) RT ( place this in front
of any message that you would like your followers to Retweet your
message) #socialmedia (use the # symbol when you want a particular word
or phrase to be easily search within your Tweet.) Twitter also provides
you with the ability to Follow people that have common interests, in the
same industry, competitors. Twitter can be used to stay up to date with
a lot of information that you can use for business. It can help you to
develop new business relationships, partnerships, sell products and
services. Twitter should not be overlooked it is a powerful tool that
professionals should use. It can be easily used on your mobile device
and taking 10 -15 minutes a day to Tweet or review your Tweets is really
valuable.
