I wish to comment but first need to let you know it will cost $5. (a bit tongue in cheek)

Sharing is common courtesy as is advice. You need to decide when you are sharingand when you are working

Hi Ted!
I have written several posts on how to use Google+, numbers 2 and 4 on the list were my posts. Also, I am a contributing author to What the Plus! (http://www.amazon.com/What-... with Guy Kawasaki. This is a fantastic resource and lays it all out step by step. It's only .99¢ so it is a bargain.
Hit me up if you have Google+ questions!

Thanks Peg. How about a post with more info like summarizing all the best points and easiest way to utilize Googel+, rather than links to other posts. I know... asking you to do my work, but worth a try ;-)

Re: Make a Better Connection on LinkedIn #FabFive

I agree with your thinking on open networking, that isn't for me either. I am trying to keep it a pure, true network for me. I don't add people that I don't know. As far as I know, there is no prize for the most connections on LinkedIn so what's the point?

Recommendations are especially important because they are a reflection of you and if you write one for someone you don't know it could turn out badly.

Well, I know many have their own etiquette about who to connect with on LinkedIn. Some are LIONs and openly network with most everyone but to me, this is not much different than searching a phonebook.

Social networks are about trust for me and I only care to connect with those that I know, trust, and can possibly recommend or refer for business.

You rock Peg - that Gift from the Sea sits on my coffee table to remind me of how lucky I am to live near the Gulf, which inspires me daily. So do you and the entire 12most team you put together.

You are so kind Jodi! I am happy that you liked the post. I wrote this one almost a year ago.

I've noticed lately that everyone wants social media "interns" full time work, no pay, and usually you need the skill set prior to becoming an intern. I'm glad you brought this up!

Hi Akos,
No, that is probably a fantastic idea. Has this proven to be a good strategy for you?My problem is I never have ten minute calls or Skype calls. :D

Re: Pondering: Penny for your Thoughts

Akos Fintor — Tue, 29 May 2012 23:53:50 -0000

Hey Peg,

I do give free advice and opinion, sometimes I do it for like 10 minutes on Skype. Is it corny if I say that whatever you give comes back 10 fold?

enjoyed the post! tweeted!

I agree! Have you read "Gift from the Sea." I need to find that again, it is so inspiring,

Nothing inspires me more than reading what other people have to say. There's so many interesting minds in the world! I agree completely with your Anne Morrow Lindbergh quote. To be that stimulated is such a gift.

Peggy I love this post...you hit every point that us newbies think in our head but don't ever want to ask out loud..YOu are such a great resource and friend helping others out and remembering when we all just began with our very first tweet.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Peggy.

Most of these are common courtesy/common sense ideas. If you behave in online communities similarly to how you behave in offline communities, you will probably work out just fine.

I think I would place more emphasis on Don't Get Discouraged. It won't happen overnight.

Cheers,
Marc

AR Karthic and Tony are both top notch networkers, and whether they know it or not, I'm available at their call for just about anything.

AR for one has stayed in my mention stream consistently as it has grown, even as it has become unwieldy and sometimes impossible to track. Even though we don't get the chance to speak as often as I'd like, I know he's making an effort to promote my content regardless. I usually get an opportunity to ply my craft for people like AR when they need it, so luckily it usually levels out in the end. They don't even realize the influence they have, and if the other people on the list are anything like AR and Tony, they probably have the same kind of dynamic going on. I'm counting on AR to make sure that I get to hear his call to arms if he ever starts a new project or website that he could use my help launching.

Hi Peg

I sometimes feel that if only happy messages were going to and fro on twitter how peaceful, happy and positive the twitter world would have been :)

The points you mentioned are very imp and everyone should consider them. Going to share this right away!

Happy tweeting :)!

Re: Personal Branding: Are you Ready for your Closeup?

Peg Fitzpatrick — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:45:28 -0000

I agree Ann, it is always very strange when you meet people at a tweet-up and don't recognize them at all. That being said, I do not walk around making the face from my avatar all the time.

I love your new photo that you just changed to, You are an example of someone who is recognizable but able to refresh the picture without it being a big deal.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :)

Hi Peggy
I agree with you in creating a polished better version of you. A suggestion is to also use a most recent photo for your social media accounts. I think anything over three to five years old is dated. I refresh my avitar each year. When I go to tweet-ups, I am looking for the people I recognize.

Re: Personal Branding: Are you Ready for your Closeup?

Peg Fitzpatrick — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:11:54 -0000

I agree about the consistency with the photos and overall branding message. It needs to be the same on all platforms. Sometimes on Facebook on your personal page you can get away with a little bit different message but it is very confusing otherwise.
