Twitter Helps Your Message Grow Wings

“According to a new report by Exact Target, Twitter users are:

* 5 times more likely to post to blogs at least monthly
* 3 times more likely to post product reviews and post in an online forum
* 5 times more likely to share coupons on coupon sites

“They also are more likely to write articles for third-party sites, post videos, contribute to wiki’s and a whopping 70% are commenting on other people’s blogs.”

That would include me. As a Twitter user, I like to find interesting or educational tidbits that I can share with my readers. The statistics above are from Cynthia Boris’ article on Andy Beal’s Marketing Pilgrim, a site I follow in Google Reader. It could have just as easily come from a short post and link on Twitter. Either way, I’ll share it on Twitter and our Zero To Sixty Marketing Facebook page, and a variety of other sites. Other people do the same thing, and that’s how online content gains wings.

Stop and Ask Why

“Are you doing work worth doing, or are you just doing your job?” ~ A great question posed by Seth Godin in his blog post “What’s the point?”

Time doesn’t stand still for any of us. Whether you’ve shortened your work day as I have, or are working 40+ hours each week, we all have a limited number of hours to get the job done. Is the time you invest in your business, time well-spent? What about today? Will today’s activities move you toward achieving your small business goals, or are you running a parallel course – as in, you can’t get there from here?
