Dear Moxie Maven I put my company on Facebook.  Now how do I get more people to pay attention?  It really doesn’t do much when all the people I’m connected with are employees! Fan Free Dear Fan Free, Before we go too far, I want to clarify something.  Facebook expects that you will create a personal profile and then you will create a fan page for your business based on your personal profile.  I have...

Dear Moxie Maven A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting you on my screen. You helped me set up a blog but I haven’t done much with it. My real concern is making money off my writing (not a new concept.) I have had freelance writing on my mind for some time.

A very good friend of mine forwarded...

Dear Moxie Maven I keep getting requests from people I know to join networks that I have never heard of in the past. How many of things do I have to belong to anyway?

Dear Moxie Maven So, here’s my question – do you every sleep? I think adding social media to marketing sounds like a great idea, but I really seem to have only a small amount of time to learn about what I need to do. That’s even before I start to blog, post links, or share photos. Besides, I guess I still am missing why all the above has anything to do with promoting my business, can you help me connect...
