For those of you that have set up a Facebook Page (not profile page), did you know that once you have 25 people that “LIKE” your page you can create a personalized URL for your page.
You can go from something that looks like this, http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/yourdestinyteam/137377132960184?ref=ts
WHO COULD REMEMBER THAT URL?
to something that looks like this: http://www.facebook.com/yourdestinyteam
How much easier is it to direct others to your Facebook using the 2nd link vs. the first link!
And, you can also set up that when you post on your FaceBook Page’s Wall, it automatically posts the status/update directly to your Twitter page!
So instead of posting both places, now you can do them both in one easy step!
If you click on this link, this video will show you step by step how to do it!
It’s easy!
Go try it and let me know how it worked for you!
Just click this link!

This seems like a very simple topic, but I have been surprised as I have been helping others with their Social Media how many don’t know they can do this or even why they should!
For example, maybe you want to update your status with something that you don’t want EVERYONE who is your friend on Facebook to read.
This might be when you want to just announce something to your clients or team about your product or business and don’t want to be constantly bombarding your friends and family with what you are doing.
For example, here’s some lists I have created:
- Family
- School Friends
- Local Friends
- Church Friends
- Business Team
- Networking Friends
- Mentoring Friends (Friends who I learn lots from their post)
and many more! You can create any kind of list.
Now, say I want to make a status update about a Team Dinner that we are having but I don’t necessarily want to have every friend on Facebook read it. Then I can create the status update and then exclude some of these lists.
Let me walk you though the process.
How to Create New List
- Click on “Account” in upper right hand side of your FB page. Now select “Edit Friends” from the drop down menu.
- Now select “Create New List” at the top of the screen
- Enter a name for your list
- Select which FB friends you want in this list and click the blue “create list” button
Now if you have a ton of FB friends already, it might take you a while to sort through all of them, but do a little bit everyday and you will realize down the road, what a great tool this is.
How to Update Status and Exclude a List
- Type in a Status Update on your Profile Page
- Click on the little black “Lock” icon in the bottom right of your status bar.
- Select “Custom” from the drop down menu
- Now start typing the name of the list you want to exclude in the “Hide this from these people” box.
You can also do the opposite with a certain post and share the post with “Everyone” or “Friends of Friends” so more people could see a post!
This is a really handy tool if used with the right intentions and without wanting to bombard or spam others!
Here’s another great tip! When you click on your “Home” page, now your lists are on the left hand side of your page and if you click on a List, you can just see that lists’ status updates! It sorts them for you. So if I want to just see what’s going on with my family, now I can read all their status updates fast!
Try it out today and let me know how you like it and also what types of creative “lists” you have made. Just drop me a note below!
FaceBook, Twitter, Linkedin…Social Media Tools have exploded on the scene with everyone from teenagers to grandparents using them.
Learn how you can use these tools THE RIGHT WAY to help increase your income profits and spread your message!
Over the last 8 years, I have built a successful high 6 figure income by spending time building relationships through the Internet. I was “social networking” even before it was even called that!
8 years ago, I was introduced to a product line that I grew very passionate about and knew that I wanted to share it with more people than I could talk to personally. I was a stay at home mom with 3 very young sons and was very limited in my ability to get out of my house to talk to others.
So out of my frustration for not being able to talk to as many people as I would like, I began to develop some skills, techniques, strategies that would help to build strong relationships and partners over the Internet!
Over the past few years, 100’s have asked me for my secrets on building income and a strong team via the internet and I’m now ready to share these secrets with others who want to create an income and not just waste time (like so many are doing these days).
People are hurting for money and time freedom, yet they seem to have all the time in the world to play games and chat with their networking connections. One thing I learned from my mentor a few years ago, is to “see what 98% of the population is doing and do the exact opposite!”
Why should you use social media branding for your advantage?
Most people are wasting time (and sometimes money) on the Social Networking sites and the truth is, you can never get back your TIME here on Earth! Why not learn to have fun, develop relationships but earn a profit at the same time?
The truth is, “social networking” in the last couple of years has transformed the way we all communicate with others and you can either embrace it’s “viral” method of sharing information to help you earn profits or you can just spend time on these sites for pure pleasure. It’s your choice but the reality is that you are going to spend the time, so why not learn how it can benefit you and your household income.
According to BizReport, the “Time spent social networking up 93%” since 2006.
Social Networking isn’t going away anytime soon and the fastest growing segment of the population that is embracing FaceBook is between 26-54 in age. This phenomenon has crossed over to the older population and its just not the teeny boppers Internet anymore!
Imagine that if you have a product, company, charity, organization, club, business, idea or even yourself that you want to market, this could absolutely work for you too! I can show you how.
In mid-2009, I was able to successfully help a charity raise over $5000 that was quickly put together in a matter of weeks using only the Internet and word of mouth. So this is NOT just for business. If you are inspired to help others, these tips and techniques can help get your charitable message out as well!

Aweber is an Email and Marketing Program that helps you communicate with your business associates, clients and team members.
In the past, I have used Aweber because of its ability to set up A/R messages (auto responder messages).
For those of you new to email campaigns, an A/R message are automatic messages that are sent to a person who fills out a form on your website.
For example, I have a website about Nutritional Cleansing, www.HappyCleansing.com and when people visit that site, they could fill out a form if they want more information from me.
Now, I have it set up in Aweber to then automatically send them a series of email messages I loaded into Aweber about Nutritional Cleansing. I am communicating with them on a continuous basis with less time and more results.
Anyway….that was a great feature about Aweber that I loved.
There are several other Email Marketing Programs that can do the same, such as Icontact.
But now, Aweber has joined the world of Social Media Tool Marketing!
They have seen the value of making it even easier for those of us using social media sites to communicate even easier and more effective with our clients and business partners.
There is now an option that as you email a list of contacts, you can also automatically have that email “twittered” and even posted to your FaceBook page!
And another favorite feature that can save you a ton of time for those of you who have a WordPress or blogging site, you can now have your readers subscribe to your RSS feed through an Aweber form and every time you write a NEW post on your site/blog, it is sent to your list of contacts automatically!
Here’s more about that from Aweber:
