How a New Professional Headshot Can Impact Your Business

Have you considered how a new professional headshot can impact your business? Earlier this month, I got a new professional headshot, my first in nearly nine years. Since I was relatively happy with one that was taken back in 2014, I wasn’t motivated to get a new one. As I prepared to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my business, I decided it was time for a refresh of my look. Along with getting my logo revamped, I scheduled a photo shoot with professional photographer Kellie Henriksen. Her creativity in how she staged each photo, along with her warmth and friendliness, [...]

Creating Articles That Tie to Your Social Media Presentations

By creating articles that tie to your social media presentations, you can promote upcoming talks on social media.

The other article, “Three Best Practices for Using LinkedIn,” appeared in the Fourth Quarter Issue of The MHEDA Journal. Readers of this journal are members of the Material Handling [...]

Celebrate Your Business Milestones on Social Media

It’s important to celebrate your own business milestones on social media. Too often people avoid this because they don’t want to come across as boastful or overly self-promoting. While you shouldn’t post one brag after another, what I have found is that selectively sharing special milestones gives folks a chance to thank and honor you.   Some Business Milestones to Celebrate Anniversary of the Creation of Your Business. Recently, I celebrated the fourth anniversary of my company with posts on Facebook and LinkedIn. The responses were so heartwarming. Technically, Boomers Social Media Tutors began in October, 2010, when I created [...]

Your Professional Photo Enhances Your Personal Brand

Does your professional photo represent you well? Remember, your photo is one of the most important elements of your personal brand. I am frequently disappointed with both the quality of the profile photos I find on LinkedIn and other social sites. Too often these photos show the person in a casual environment, sometimes with family members and friends. At times, the way the person looks in the photo is not the way they show up in real life. Sometimes people use a variety of photos across their social sites, website, and other online environments. The better approach is to use the same photo on all sites (except [...]

LinkedIn Recommendations Should Reflect Your Brand

The ability to get and receive recommendations is one of the best features on LinkedIn. Recommendations provide a way for potential clients and referral partners as well as hiring authorities to learn about your character, your achievements, and the ways in which you provided value to those you served. Recommendations are far more important than simply having some of your skills be endorsed. Endorsing a LinkedIn connection for a skill takes very little effort and is often done quite casually. On the other hand, when people write a recommendation, they typically put some thought into what they say about you [...]

What I Learned From Mainstream Video Production

“I watched your video before contacting you. It helped me know I needed your services.” Recently I have been happy to hear those phrases from two separate people who found me via the internet. We’ve known for several years that video is the medium a lot of people prefer, yet many of us have been reluctant to embrace video marketing. Not me! I’ve been collaborating with the fine folks at Mainstream Video Marketing and have been delighted with the results we have achieved. Their awesome team includes Founder Beth Klepper, Freelance Videographer and Owner of Staccato Productions Erica Jaffe, Director [...]
