For Companies and Brands, Why Social Media?

By smallbizgurl* | Published: December 6, 2009

I know, I know, I haven’t written much lately. It is really largely due to launching EcoJoe and subsequently trying to grow EcoJoe as well as running Staged4more at the same time. Both of my babies have been keeping me super busy. I basically just launched EcoJoe through social media. We didn’t do any newspaper advertisement, nor [...]

By smallbizgurl* | Published: July 17, 2009

Photo by Peter KaminskiI had a great time speaking on panel yesterday to kick off my local association SAMCAR’s (San Mateo County of Association of Realtors) Social Media Summer Camp. It was also interesting to see what type of questions people ask and what they are concerned with. In general, everyone has heard of social media, [...]

scoff Social Networks are for Kids, I Ain’t Got No Time For It

By smallbizgurl* | Published: July 7, 2009

Despite the fact that I’ve already aged out the cheap(er) student discount movie ticket perk, and my father’s constant reminder of how rapidly my baby factory is going to shut down soon if I still cannot find a man, people still tell me social media is just for college kids, and it’s a TOTAL waste [...]

OMG OMG Will You Fan Me? Fan Me? FAN FAN FAN??

By smallbizgurl* | Published: June 30, 2009

This Sunday was a crazy race to get the vanity URL for your Facebook business page. Unfortunately, I was one of those obnoxious people who updated their Facebook status every 5 mintues saying “Please fan my page!” I felt into the whole thing pretty innocently. I am launching an eco-friendly real estate product this August, (ECOJOE) [...]

Wait, You Have How Many Twitter Accounts?!

Actually it’s a bit more than that. I recently added another one. Or two…) I grabbed twitter handle names for various business ventures that I [...]

Where do you link to get leads/sales?

By smallbizgurl* | Published: April 25, 2009

I get asked that questions all the time now since the real estate market had slowed down. I meet a lot of people who are not working as much as it used to be, or just plain desperate for work. Frankly, that’s like asking me “What bar do you go to to find a husband?“ or [...]

Umm, So What Did I Win???

By smallbizgurl* | Published: April 18, 2009

I have about 2,600+ followers on Twitter. It’s not really a big deal since I only talk to about 5 consistently on a daily basis. So when a friend came up to me recently and said “Hey, I almost beat you in follower #s!” I thought: “Oh, really? I didn’t know it was a contest. So [...]
