Relating to Your Audience through Sports

Relating to Your Audience through Sports

By John Enfield

This year, I watched the Super Bowl online and was amazed at the major role that social media played in the experience. In all of the pre-game hype and build-up, one thing struck me especially: the CBS Sports Twitter poster said that over five million tweets had been posted about the game that day and the game hadn’t even started yet. I’m sure that at least five million and more tweets went out during and after the game. On top of that... read the entire blog post here.

Privacy Part 2 

by John Enfield

The Timeline and Tagging features of Facebook will become even more important once Graph Search is made widely available. What Graph Search is able to see will depend on what relationship the user has with you through Facebook (public, friend or friend of friend) and on the settings of your Facebook Account.  

Let’s take a look at the settings 

that you can change on your Facebook Account 

to take control of what people will find.

Why You Might Be Breaking Facebook Rules And Not Know It

Here's an excerpt from my guest blog post:

Thank you so much, Linda for inviting me to be your first guest blogger. I am truly honored. Linda and I met while we were both indie publishing our first novel. She went on to publish again and continues to write regularly. I’ve taken a different path. I started a new business, Tufel Media. I still consider myself a writer and will always write because it’s embedded in my genes, yet I’ve not published my second novel and my writing has slowed quite a bit. After some reflection, I realized that this one thing, the business of writing books doesn’t define me. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, a sales background, a love for teaching. I’m a mom. I homeschooled my kids.  I continue to teach at my church. I helped manage a company that was sold to an e-commerce business for millions of dollars. I’ve been a Realtor and have listed and sold a million-dollar-home in nine days. There are so many other elements that make me who I am. Social Media is second nature to me. I found that because I was able to navigate social networks with ease, I could help others who were struggling. After trying to help a few business owners, I found that they’d rather pay me to do the work for them. And that’s how Tufel Media began.

Getting Ready for Graph Search on Facebook: Privacy

Getting Ready for Graph Search on Facebook:

Privacy

by John Enfield

Have you heard about the new update coming to Facebook? It’s called ‘Graph Search’ and it is being beta tested with small groups of desktop PC users first, but will eventually be available to everyone. You can sign up to be on the waiting list for the beta test by going to https://www.facebook.com/about/graphsearch, but in the meantime, you can adjust your account settings so that you will have some control over who finds you with Graph Search.

With Graph Search coming out, it is important to go to each Page you have created in your Facebook account (they are listed on the left side of the main screen you see after you log in under the heading “Pages” and below the “Favorites” and “Adverts” headings) and make sure that the information in the “About” and “Map” sections of your pages, especially the business-related ones, is complete, current and accurate. The more accurate it is, the more easily people will find your page. This is also where a professional media manager can help by making the ‘About’ put your best foot forward. This is what people first see when they consider ‘Liking’ your page.

This is a two part blog. In the first part, we’ll look at changing the basic privacy settings. Part two will be about changing Timeline and Tagging settings.

Part 1: Adjusting your Facebook Privacy

After you log in, look at the blue bar across the top of your Facebook pane check out the full post here.

How To Use Twitter Like A Pro

Tufel Media's "It's Time" Episode 2:

On this episode I explain how to use Twitter like a pro.

I don't consider myself a guru BUT I have spent A LOT of time learning from people who have 100K+ followers. I have implemented many of their teachings to the point where I have been able to attain 16,200 engaged followers and have also been able to monetize by converting followers to clients. I have also received up to 700+ retweets for one tweet. Let me show you how to retweet and use Twitter like a pro.
