SAVE YOUR MONEY! In order to feel benefited by any program is to come away from that program with a sense of satisfaction towards the completion of an end goal partly due to the program itself--along with your hard work as well of course. There truly is no support here. Getting my money back was another issue as well. They didn't want to do it. When I phoned and spoke with Valeria, she jokingly told me that it "could be twenty days before a return is made." They are going to keep your money until day twenty...just face that fact right now. The product is simplistic, but not the main source of my issue with this company. It was the staff--along with its lacking of true care for real client/customer satisfaction--is just not there with this company as a whole. Spend your money elsewhere. Better yet, if you can do it, attend a live course. ...read more

In a class on social media that I was teaching, I pointed out the value of using your face on social media, or a face, in order to make your business more approachable. One of my students played devil’s advocate and made a valid point that with big brands, the logo is more recognized and will be something people feel comfortable with. We looked at John Deere, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi and all of these companies were using logos, and we’re doing an excellent job of creating a strong social media presence. This made it clear that in some cases using logos can actually be acceptable in social media In general, with most businesses, especially small businesses, I’d say using the face of the business owner or of employees would be better than using a logo. This is because people will recognize a face much more than a logo, when it comes to a local business. A small business is defined by the relationships people have with the business owner and people that work for him/her. People want to interact with the actual person who runs the business. With a big business, its different. Coke-Cola is a business with a logo and brand that people recognize the world over. The recognition they have for that logo, and the products that the logo is used on creates the brand presence and social relationship those people have with the company. Consequently, the logo is much more recognizable than the face of a person and its the logo that people want to interact with. To some degree company size and logo recognition are factors that should be considered when developing a social media presence. If the logo is more recognizable as the brand presence, then use the logo. A business can also put the logo in a picture with a person, such as what Wells Fargo does on their Facebook page, but make sure that your mission matches how you are using your social media presence. Wells Fargo uses their Facebook page as a career portal, but a lot of people come on their for other reasons. While Wells Fargo has accommodated those reasons in their responses, their creating of a career portal on Facebook shows less interest in client issues, in and of itself. No matter what you do, your social media presence should engage people, and show them that you are interested in them. Using the company logo can work as a long as people recognize it and as long as the company makes their social media presence about the people following the company, as opposed to the company itself. ...read more

I recently sawthis articleon Yahoo about how social media can hurt your career. It’s interesting article, and the author makes some good points that can also be applied to anyone who owns a business. I’ve been asked by different clients if being on social media can hurt their businesses and I think its a reasonable question to ask. Social media is a public venue, which means that what you post on social media is something that can be shared with anyone. Even if you have an account set to friends only, you have no guarantee that your “friends” or followers won’t say something to someone else, or that they won’t form opinions and judgements based on what you say. With that in mind, I thought I’d offer a few additional tips on how to use social media wisely. 1. Don’t talk negatively about your clients on social media. If you had a bad day or a bad experience with a client, don’t tweet about it. You don’t know who is reading what you’ve written or who will share it with others. And once the words are written or said, you don’t have control over how people interpret it. If you need to vent about a client or a bad day at your business, talk to a friend or romantic partner or to a business coach, but don’t put it into a public medium, unless you’re ready to deal with the consequences. 2. Keep your personal drama to yourself. This is related to tip one, but is worth writing. Keep your personal business and gripes about your life to yourself. Don’t share unhappiness with your partner or a friend with other people. They don’t want to read it, and when you share it looks unprofessional and it shows an inability to manage your own affairs. If you own a business and you can’ manage your personal affairs, while will people think you can manage your business affairs? 3. Remember you always represent your business. The pictures you post, the videos you make, the comments you write, everything you do on social media is a reflection of your business and your reputation. People will always evaluate how you present yourself. Look at your social media presence and what you are saying and ask yourself: Would I want to do business with this person? Ask it from a place of being a potential client. The best way to protect your business on social media is to remember that what you are posting is going to a public environment. Even if you have accounts set up as protected or semi-public, that doesn’t mean you have control of what you’ve written. It just means you’ve limited access to what post. But it takes just one person to share what you’ve said…and the consequences can be detrimental to your business, and overall well-being. ...read more
