chicks-lifeAs I write this post, Twitter is already ranked 26th among the world’s most popular websites according to Alexa’s web traffic rankings. Since it’s creation in 2006, Twitter has already become a phenomenon in the online world. Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging services that enables its user to send and read messages known as “tweets”. Tweets are text-based posts of 140 maximum characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers. I am enjoying twitter about a few months now. As of today, I already followed 1,485 twitters. 1,550 twitters also have followed me as of this time. Twitter is a place for easy connection with the people you want to follow and you want to keep an eye on whatever they do.

laptop-chair-deskI don’t make money online. I don’t care if money will be gone. All I want is to share my knowledge and wisdom to everyone. All I hope is to help them become better and greater men. I made a weblog to express and write my serious insights. I don’t really mind if it takes my time. I always publish articles which are original and natural. Aside from writing articles, I generously offer and give free stuff to my visitors online. I was happy to serve and give. Instead of promoting the popularity of my blog, I promote its quality and integrity. Fame is only secondary – reputation is primary.

I always visit many other blogs with the same topic as my blog to comment on their posts. I do that not to spam and be greedy of back links. I do that to participate discussions, exchange opinions and make friends online. I participate in several business and entrepreneurhip forums. Business and entrepreneurship are my loved topics, as I am blogging for business. I share my stories to inspire the forum communities I have joined. I cheerfully exchange my ideas with other members. I express my own questions. I also strive to give my best answers to their questions. I put a link to my blog in my signature. This is to open up my gate to them, so they can visit my blog and provide them relevant articles that found in my site. Read more

word-of-mouseIn my previous article I have discussed what viral marketing is. This time I will be talking about how the “word of mouse” works. As we learned before, viral marketing, as it name suggests, is a contagious form of product marketing that uses carriers to spread it. These carries are of course your own customers or prospective customers. These persons should be infected with viral products, prices, places and promotions. Your product, to become viral should possess quality and excellence and will guarantee costumers’ satisfaction. Your price, to be viral, should be reasonable and properly directed to the right consumers. Your placement, to be viral, should be efficiently accessible. And finally, your promotion, to be viral should be creative, innovative and extraordinary. Read more

businessaccentlogoIt was on the last days of the year 2008, when I lunched this blog. So this blog is almost four-month old now at this moment I write this post. This article story is my 68th post so far, so if I was already blogging for four months now, statistically I was posting an average of one article every two days. This statistic shows that I am still a lazy blogger. But this is due to the fact that I write articles that are usually long and are purely original. But more than that, I am not a full-time blogger, since I am currently employed as a head auditor in a certain accounting firm in the Philippines. But this job gives me a meaningful experiences particularly in business and helps me write meaningful articles with regard to that matter. Read more
