The Future:

!--Digest:SKIP

Alright, so my last couple posts were products that I've used and recommend. Now, I'm going to stray away from that style of post for a while. Over the next couple days, I'm going to recommend some free promotion tools and ideas that will be best for starters, and not established businesses.

That's just a little news blip, to let you all know what's coming in the next couple days!


If you're curious, the skip bit is to tell Digest Bot to not repost this on the Digest.

Click Meeting!

Okay, so, if you've been reading ThatBlankMedia blogs for a while, you'd likely know that we recently had a writers conference in Savannah, GA. It was tons of fun, but it was also quite expensive. It allowed us to work together in way never before possible to form a vision of what the company should be in the future, but does that offset the cost?

Not by enough. Meeting in person is great, now we all know each other, but almost as good, is being able to meet whenever with Click Meeting.

ClickMeeting:
Free Trial - No credit card required

We can desktop share, we can all chat, we can do so many great things without having to spend the tons of money to actually travel. And that's why I recommend Click Meeting. It's an excellent tool to get to know your employees. To be able to work together, without having to be physically together. If you run a web business, this is invaluable, as it's impossible without drastic costs to work with your employees.

I would definitely recommend giving the free trial a shot, as it could easily transform your web-business.

If you don't know what this is, you will in the not-so-distant future!

Another tweet program?

Yeah, that's right. There is another tweet program option. Tweet Adder, while absolutely amazing, is pretty pricey. Enter, Social Oomph!

Even has a free version!

Okay I'm not going to lie to you. Tweet Adder can be quite expensive. At $55 for the basic, it's a large investment. Especially for the small net business that it's going to help most. However, Social Oomph has a free version (granted, not as much functionality as the paid version). Now, it doesn't do as much for twitter as Tweet Adder does, but it also works with facebook fan pages, which is what I use it for. 

I would definitely recommend giving the free version a try, it makes using twitter and facebook to grow your website so much easier than trying to get by doing everything manually. 

Never underestimate the ability to schedule tweets. In marketing terms, this is incredibly valuable.

Tweet Adder - Great program.

Great program!

Tweet Adder is amazing. I use it with my corporate projects. I recommend it to all of my clients. It has been one of my biggest industry secrets, but now I'll share it with you.

Now, I'm not going to give you their sales pitch. But, the fact is, it works. It grows your followers, it grows your brand, and it drives you real traffic to your blog or website.

It works in multiple ways. First, you tell the program who your target audience is. It then finds people inside of your target audience, and follows or messages them. Then, it auto-tweets content from your blog/website for you, with links! And, it really does work.
