Something a little different today – a few weeks ago I came across the wonderful Jan Jacks of Perfect Verse. Jan (who isn't a client, so that's not why I'm plugging her!) writes personal and business poems for her customers. It could be a poem for Grandad's 90th birthday or something to entice your customers, and she really is fab. I decided to ask her to write me a poem on Social Media, and the result is below. Please do share this with others, and leave Jan a comment below, as I think this is great!

wpSince we posted our guide to installing Wordpress Plugins we’ve had a lot of emails asking for help.

Not everyone wants to, or indeed can, install their plugins themselves and get them running, but it seems that lots of you want to install plugins on your blogs and don’t know where to turn.

So we’re offering Wordpress plugin installation help on a first come, first served basis for a nominal fee (much as we would like to do this for nothing, the amount of requests we’ve had would have meant we’d do no paying work for at least a week!)

Are your efforts online paying off? Really?

TWO DOLLAR BILLIt’s all very well frantically beavering away: Facebooking this, Tweeting that, Blogging here, Commenting there, updating your YouTube Channel and spending an age answering questions on LinkedIn – but  are you tracking and measuring the results of all this activity?

I know that if you do all of this work yourself, in theory it costs you nothing, but your time still has a value, right? Even if you don’t always charge your hourly rate, you must have one in mind, so for every hour you spend on your Social Media and Internet Marketing efforts, that’s how much it’s cost you. OK not in cold hard cash, but that’s an hour / a day / a week you haven’t billed out your time, so for the sake of this example let’s say that’s what you’re spending on your online marketing.
