People sometimes ask me what I do. I'm a consultant. I help people to establish their online presence and increase their online visibility using the social web.
tina_w_hudson: @markdavidson 1 thing I've been putting off, calling @markdavidson and telling him he is AWESOME. Though his taste in crazy women is tragic. - http://twitter.com/tina_w_...
Avinio: RT @markdavidson: When building a brand awareness ,we have to consider and map out what thoughts and feelings we want attached to our brand. - http://twitter.com/Avinio...
BBitt: yawn...yet another marketer following me. c'mon marketers impart valuable info in your tweets..see @markdavidson for hints - http://twitter.com/BBitt...
markdavidson: @twirlybird The real benefit of Twitter numbers is the possibility of being able to have more interaction, with more people. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @jjpuha As soon as I complete these two projects, I'm going to start long-form blogging again. Crafting an online presentation is a skill. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @jjpuha Consistency of presence is important. One has to be constantly out there, reinforcing one's brand through repetition. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @adiaha Agreed. BTW, I love your Twitter bio. It does something very important; it captures my interest. :-) - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @yvetteferry FriendFeed has effectively replaced RSS for me. That was on pure accident though. I love FriendFeed. :-) - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC There's a place for overt marketing but I've found that nobody will be interested in me, unless I take an interest in them. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: Social Media: What do you want people to know about you and who do you want to connect with? Do we need a plan for our online presentation? - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC It could be... But what am I doing right now? We're talking about what I do. It's totally different from a blog post. :-) - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @Lisa1LinenLady But what you can do is to create a web community around your business. Focus on lifestyle and developing an online fan base. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC Plus it's fun. I like talking shop on Twitter. I also think it helps people. We can all share what we know. :-) - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC If you have a business, write about your business and your industry without trying to sell anything. Be human and real. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @Lisa1LinenLady Amazon.com was a 2.0 site back in the 1.0 days. Amazon allows customers to connect with each other, comment, and suggest. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @Lisa1LinenLady Your online community and fans can do more to promote your business than any product copy you could ever write yourself. :-) - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC I'm talking about my business without trying to sell you anything. We're just having a regular ol' conversation. :-) - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC Also, it helps to be interesting. Showmanship is a plus. Providing personal knowledge and unique insights are also a plus. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @Lisa1LinenLady Not just for you. Customers have evaporated for a lot of people. People aren't spending like they uses to, that's for sure. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC People who mostly post inspirational quotes and RT's... I think a better approach is for us to post our own ideas/insights. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC Exactly. Social media gives us the opportunity to share about ourselves and learn about others. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoCalBio Thank you for the opportunity to speak on social media with such an intellligent and knowledgable panel this evening! - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: I don't think using social media is difficult but I think how we go about using social media can be and is complex. It's about presentation. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: @SoulPurposeOOC Social media doesn't make anyone profitable. There's no money in social media. There is money in sales and advertising. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
markdavidson: Having a lot of followers is kinda cool. It gives us the opportunity to connect with a lot of different people, learn, grow, and share. - http://twitter.com/markdav...
warrenss: Sage advice- @markdavidson: Alot of emphasis on building a massive following but what do you want to accomplish with it? What's the goal? - http://twitter.com/warrens...
