Stopping Terrorism Using Social Data

Stopping Terrorism Using Social Data 

"As consumers spend more time using social media, it should not be surprising that extremist organizations are as well. They see social media as a primary tool for bringing together communities of interest, regardless of geographic location, and for discussing ideas in a seemingly anonymous manner."

Rebecca Garcia, Director of SAS Federal, on how social media analytics can be used by counterterrorism specialists and other federal agencies involved in crime investigation and prevention.

Being a Great Conversationalist Opens Many, Many Doors

Being a Great Conversationalist Opens Many, Many Doors

OK. Being a bit manipulative helps, too.

Building rapport with someone is ESSENTIAL in order to engage him or her in the conversation through which you can then elicit specific information, alter behavior, make a friend, influence a potential customer or to get them to give you something you want. Without establishing rapport first, you will go nowhere. 

In this blog post I cover the essentials from the head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Unit, Robin Dreeke's latest book, information from Dr. Charles Dwyer as well as my own insights into establishing rapport and getting whatever you want.

Check it out and don't forget to +1, share, like, retweet and leave me your comments on the blog.

Getting More Followers for Your Google+ Business Page

Getting More Followers for Your Google+ Business Page

For those of you using FB to build or market a business I've said it before: Facebook for business right now is DEAD. Free organic reach to the fans you worked hard to earn sucks at less than 5% and seems to be in a downward spiral. I'm not going to pay FB to build a following and be "social" then potentially have a business page be arbitrarily shut down.

It's happened to several of my friends. They lost a lot of time and money. (In hindsight they all admit that they had too many eggs in one basket.)

Google Plus has been shown to dramatically improve search engine rankings, which, in itself, is a sufficient reason to join the platform. By building your brand through this social media channel, you will be able to boost your SEO efforts and increase your business’s online exposure at the same time.

Build your website, get it ranked and develop an opt-in mailing list.

You CANNOT Make Money Online with A Simple Anything!

You CANNOT Make Money Online with A Simple Anything! 

#blogging

A dear friend from high school asked me this morning what I thought about an advertisement disguised on Facebook to look like an article titled “Learn How to Make 6-Figures In Any Online Business Using a Simple 3-Part Blog Formula.”

I go into detail about the process of making money online in the article below. In short, you absolutely can make money online with a blog, but:

* not just any ol’ blog
* it won’t be simple and it won’t be easy,
* Oprah isn’t coming to help
* and it won’t happen magically overnight while you sleep.  

For ANY business, online or offline, to succeed you have to follow a well-worn and time-tested formula:

Have a product, have a plan, build a system, be flexible, measure results, adjust to get better results and WORK YOUR ASS OFF!

It’s as simple, or difficult, as that.
