Social Networking Automated

I have spent the past few days looking to make myself more productive with my social networking.  I have always wondered how people update Twitter, Facebook and MySpace without spending all day on the computer.   I have known for a while that you can schedule your blog postings so why not schedule your social network updates.   I discovered a little tool called HootSuite it supports multiple twitter accounts. I have been playing around with this tool and find it a very handy tool.   Up until today I only had one twitter account but decided that it might be best to separate my personal tweets from my business related tweets.   Now that I have played around with this application I wished that I had discovered it long before I did.  Now if only I can make a habit of scheduling some sort of content regularly on my blog.   I have been doing well scheduling content on my food blog but need to do so with my handmadejewelry blog as well.

Networking and Craft Fairs

Well I had a good showing at the Madison Street Festival earlier this month.  I had quiet a few custom orders and I am currently working on two more as we speak.  I also have an opportunity to do a craft show this weekend.  It was a last minute thing but I am so glad to be able to get into it on Saturday.   It is called Holiday House and is held at a local church.  A friend of my mothers told me about it.   So please come see me on Saturday at Southwood Presbyterian church on Carl T Jones dr in Huntsville.   On another note I have found a relatively new social networking site dedicated to beaders.   I think it is awesome that someone would create a social networking site just for beaders.  It is like myspace combined with ebay.   You can sell your Jewelry for free on there.   Another social networking site for crafters same concept.  Social networking and you can sell your Jewelry for free again.   I am still trying to find my way around both sites as they are relatively new.

Social Spark The Social network Paid to Blog Service

Are you looking to make some extra money and make friends? SocialSpark is a social network and paid to blog service. What I like about it is that you can network and get paid to blog at the same time. Most paid to blog services do not have the social aspect built into it. SocialSpark code of ethics include 100 % disclosure that means putting a piece of code at the end of your post to show that you are being paid for the opportunity. The other aspect of their code of ethics is 100% transparency that means that every participant in Social Spark is viewable to the public. If that is not something that you want then I would rethink joining.
You get real opinions from people who own the product being talked about. Depending on the agreement with the advertiser you can write anything you want about the product.
SocialSpark does not have any restrictions on what you post. It is your responsibility to pick opportunities that best suit you and your blog.
And last but not least it is 100% search engine friendly.
It is a great place to blog and meet new people.
