One thing I would like to say about social marketing. If you decide to use facebook, twitter, blog, etc, watch what you say. Your posts meant for your friends will now be read be potential clients. If they see inapropriate language they may be turned off and not use you. You know the saying think before you talk, that applies to social media. It’s too easy to type and say something inappropriate cause it’s way easier to voice your opinion behind a keyboard.

Do you feel like you’re losing yourself in today’s social media. Do you feel like your voice is lost due to your lack of knowledge when it comes to the web. You’re not alone. There’s so many different options when it comes to social networking. I have decided to start a blog showing my developments with social networking and web design. I’ll be linking articles I’ve read and show what we’re doing at Angel Eyes Photography to promote our business on the web.

TWITTER

I have to admit, I don’t tweet very often right now. It’s comes from a combination that our computer won’t go on twitter on our wifi network and that my iphone doesn’t work very well. I will be exploring twitter in more detail and hopefully will be getting a new iphone that I can use more efficiently.

I’m friends with a few business’s that, in kind words, don’t have a clue when it comes to computers and social networking. This website
How to start on Twitter explains for the social media challenged how to set up a twitter account.

Feb 9, 2012 – I’m going to try to set up my twitter and facebook account so they post when I blog. I’m trying the tutorial from Autopost to facebook and twitter. I’ll let you know how it goes.

So far, it seems harder than it should be. The application has been updated since the last tutorial so I had to wing it. That’s how I roll.

WordPress

I need to explore why I’m having trouble posting links on the blog.
Feb 9, 2012 – I think I’ve figured out the link problem. When I add the link using the link insert button, I accidentally added extra info between the > and the < after the title. This showed up as I wanted on the page. Sometimes you just get lucky.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. If you have made a new years resolution for change remember don’t let your past define you, it will only hold you back from your future.

I have been reading kijiji ads that are saying looking for wedding photographer for under $500.00. I just wanted to point out some things that you should know when you do that. Personally, with the recession, I believe there are many people that can’t afford a photographer for more. This is ok, I understand you will not be using my services. But you should be aware that when you are hiring someone for under $500.00 you are taking a risk. At Angel Eyes Photography we bring a minimum: 3 canon eos cameras, 4 canon “L” series lens, 2 580 ex ii flashes, ring flash with portable battery, pocket wizards, 6 memory cards over 100 gb memory, and tons of batteries. When you hire someone that’s charging under $500.00 there’s a good chance they don’t have a back up plan and you shouldn’t be surprised when it happens.

I have been practicing my photoshop skills, can you tell?
