Some interesting and basic information for #solopreneurs

Some interesting and basic information for #solopreneurs   Originally shared by Roland Takaoka You may know some of these new Social Media terms.... BUT NOT ALL! No doubt you might know a few of these. You might even "think" you know what they mean when you hear them. However, they may surprise you.  This Saturday, Marketing Smarties brings you the hit list of "must know" terms for 2016. Of course, you can depend on us to bring you an assortment of new ones as they become news. Another highlight - Karen brings information regarding an exciting resource for free public domain images of classic and historic interest. The New York Public Library just presented online access to a couple hundred thousand images that are free to download in high res', and can be used in publishing online and off.

Welcome to Supports for Solopreneurs

Welcome to Supports for Solopreneurs I created this Collection especially for busy solopreneurs who must wear several business hats , are therefore very busy and time constrained. My intention is to provide access to information they can put to use quickly, or at least make decisions about their on-line presence without lengthy searches. I hope you find something helpful here. I also post invitations to my weekly Being Your Own CEO Business Hangouts in case they would like to connect personally with other solopreneurs who are ready to share encouragement and information. I like to create a safe place to try out on-line participation.

If you own a website, there is much here to help you realize that actions must be taken in 2016 and SOON Originally shared by Roland Takaoka Google AMP - New Kid On The Block. Phone Apps - New Target for Target Marketing. Trends Add Energy to Their Building Waves! Not everything will be new in 2016. Some things that we saw blossom in 2014 and 2015 will grow beyond what we expected. Molly will be giving us the "insider's view" of the new Google AMP, and a few tidbits of Googley stuff. We will also ask the question to my SMMS Panel, and the audience - "Has Facebook effectively stepped up its marketing game?" I, for one, want to know. They say that "phone apps" will be a "must have" for businesses this year.
