Things You Should Not Share on Social Media

Social media is so irresistible that it’s almost impossible to stay away from it. How many times have you come across a situation where you wanted to sign up for a new product or service and it wants you to sign up with your Facebook or Twitter account?

Well, social media is now integrated into our online lives.

I have friends who hate Facebook for philosophical reasons but can’t get out of it because other products and services they use need them to have a Facebook account. Obviously they hate Facebook even more.

65 Tips To Boost Your Website Traffic, Engagement And Brand Image

Setting up a blog, promoting it a bit on Facebook and Google+, garnering some website traffic and then adding Google Adsense to monetize – is all about making money online, isn’t it?

Well, several months ago, a couple approached me for some guidance about making money from home without jeopardizing their visa status in the US. They were students from India here to do their Masters.
Interestingly, they introduced themselves to me in a grocery store but had been my blog readers for a while.
I asked them if they had already thought about doing something. Among other things, they made mention of making money online through blogging. And the first line in the post which I wrote, I paraphrased what they had said.

Essential Tools, Resources And Services From My Toolbox

We all need some tools and services to organize and manage things in our lives. I get questions about some of the resources I use and so, I decided that I should probably share this list with you.

A list like this is never static and I know I will update this list many times as I live my life and experience more changes.

But, I am eager to document here some of the important tools, products and services I use in my personal and professional life. This list is not just for your reference, but my own reference document for future as well.

I intend to share the entries in the list in the order of their importance within their category from my perspective. The idea is to give you an idea of importance although it’s not a rule to follow.

ClickToTweet – An Easy Way To Get More Tweets

Kumar Gauraw

Have you been to a website where you simply loved a sentence, may be it was a profound statement or a quote and you instantly thought, “Wow! Let me tweet this!" and then you have to a copy paste?

Usually, when that moment comes, you have to copy the statement, go to HootSuite or Buffer (or Twitter directly) and do the tweeting work. If you loved the statement or the picture so much, you wouldn’t mind going through that effort.

Sure!

But, wouldn't it be so much nicer if you suddenly saw a button or a link that said “click here to tweet this”? I mean, that would be such a relief, right?

10 Online Activities You Should Avoid To Protect Your Brand Reputation

Did you know that there are more than 400 million tweets sent per day on Twitter? Did you know that there are more than 699 million active Facebook users every day? This list only grows when we start including other growing social networking sites such as Google+, Pinterest, Instagram and so on.

These stats only mean that the freedom, the ability to have your own platform where you can say things you like to say, has made social media so popular. The number of people adapting to social media, and at the speed of growth, is simply astounding.

Like anything else, this has given birth to two school of thoughts when it comes to social media:

Haters
Lovers

But wait, there is a third group as well. This belongs to those who use every opportunity to speak against it but can’t stay away from it.

Social media is the new media. It is here to stay, whether or not you and me like it. This is the way we are going to communicate and stay in touch with the world. This is the way businesses are being conducted, connections are made, jobs are being searched and new business ventures are being established.
