Get More Twitter Followers

by Chris Reimer on July 12, 2010

Last week I wrote a new post for the Scorch Agency blog called “Get More Twitter Followers.”  I’m not actually sure everyone got to the end, because I started off the article all wrong on purpose. And some people thought I was serious.  I like to make poignant observations with humor and sarcasm – what can I say?

Rest assured the second half of the blog post actually provided useful information on how good tweeters build a Twitter following.  Have a read, and let me know what you think.

June 21, 2010

Take some time to watch Gary Vaynerchuk’s keynote at 2010 Railsconf.

June 15, 2010

Over on Scorch Agency’s blog, I wrote about the high level of customer service that many companies are providing using Twitter.  The real question is… why can’t companies provide this level of customer service across all platforms?

Does Your Business Have “Permanence?”

May 21, 2010

Have a listen to my latest mini-podcast that asks the question “Does Your Business Have Permanence?”
My take here is this: if you’re just starting out in business, don’t be something you’re not. Don’t tell your customers that you have a 10-person support staff when it’s just you in your basement doing all the work.  Be [...]

Use Video As Part Of Your Communication Plan

May 19, 2010

Author David Meerman Scott talks (in a video, ironically) about using video to enhance your communication plan.  See video below.
The eternal cons to video are “Well, I don’t know how to edit video, and I’m not very good looking, and I don’t have the right clothes to wear, and I can’t afford a camera, and [...]

Does Offering A Different Point Of View Dilute Your Personal Brand?

Business Power-Up #1 – Order From Your Competitors

May 6, 2010

I am going to start a new series called “Business Power-Ups.”  The term “power-up” comes from video games – a power-up would give your player instant benefits or add extra abilities.  I grew up playing Atari 2600, Colecovision, Nintendo, and then Playstation.  How many hours did I spend playing Super Mario Bros?  It was alot.  [...]
