We all struggle with keeping our website and blog visitors on our sites.  If you use Google Analytics, like I do,  the Bounce Rates could really use some improvement!  But I just recently found a easy and free way to keep visitors on my site and it’s called Skysa!

Do you see the floating bar at the bottom of my blog; that’s my Skysa Bar.  And it is fully customizable.  I have added my social media links, an RSS ticker that reflects my last few blog post titles, an events area, comments, a share button and more.

There’s many reasons to use Skysa with your website. You can add or improve social features, engage your website visitors, collect valuable member information, and more.  Skysa is designed to help websites keep visitors longer, and build more traffic through socially engaging Apps.  Once you add Skysa to your website you never have to update the code to get new features or updates.  You can easily change the look and features of your Skysa Bar from your dashboard on Skysa.

Keep those visitors on your website and blog longer by engaging them in additional features and content – Add your Skysa Bar today!  I love mine.

Prior to starting my Online Business Management company, I owned a Professional Organizing Service, called Completely Organized. I have always had a knack for sorting, stacking, and putting like things together, so it came quite easy for me to share my natural gifts with others through a business. The unfortunate part was that this was prior to Social Networking and my market was local, and they weren’t ready to pay someone to get them organized.

But I still have those skills and I use them in my business today. Now I have to be honest. I’m not always good at doing them, I know what to do and I talk a good game, but sometimes I just don’t manage to stay as organized as I would like. So in honor of “Organize Your Home Office Day”, here are a few things that will keep you organized and start and end each day with a clean desk.

• Start your day by reviewing your To-Do List (more about this further down)
• Tackle your priority tasks first
• Set times throughout the day to check email and respond. Close it down when you have finished
• Make phone calls in bundles (except for urgent calls)
• When working on projects, let the calls go to voice mail and return them when finished with the project
• Keep current files in a stack-file on your desk or nearby for easy retrieval
• When working with documents make a decision to only handle once – file, follow-up, or shred
• Keep all your tools handy, but tucked away, not on your desktop
• At the end of the day, review your To-Do list again. Congratulate yourself on your successes and progress. Start a new one with the top three priorities of the next day. These are the three things, that will make the biggest impact on your business if you didn’t get them completed.

Well, that’s my list. Hope you found something useful to help you get more organized. What are some of the things you do daily to stay organized?

Just when I was getting good at setting up Fan Pages for my client’s businesses and services, Facebook has gone and changed the design! At first I really freaked out and panicked. But as I begin to see what they have done and downloaded the February 2009 edition of “Facebook Pages” I was pleasantly surprised. All they have done is make the Fan Page look like your User Profile.

Some of the features include:

• Easier Publishing through an Enhanced Wall
• Update and Share with statuses
• Tabbed Structure similar to your Profile
• Additional tracking of visitors through Insights

When designing your Facebook Page, here are some key elements you should consider:

• Select a name and category. These can’t be changed. If you find you don’t like them later, all you can do is delete the page and start a new one. So be sure before you set them up.
• Upload a picture or logo
• Enter a short statement about your business, product, band, etc.
• Select the Tabs you would like on your Page. The default is Wall, Info and Boxes. You can have six tabs on your Page
• Then decide which applications you would like under your Boxes Tab. There are many to choose from or you can develop your own.

I have gotten my Page and one client Page re-structured, and it wasn’t too bad. Facebook is giving us a heads-up that we need to go ahead and work on the re-design before they pull the trigger for the switch-over. So if you need help, just let us know.

All of this information was compiled from the Facebook Pages Guide.

I had the opportunity to attend a teleseminar this morning by L. Drew Gerber CEO & Partner of PressKit 24/7. It was part of the Big Fish Nation program I am a member of. Big Fish empowers women entrepreneur’s to take their business to the next level through hard core business skills with a spiritual approach to success. Today’s teleseminar focused on Online Press Releases.

Drew shared with us that he defines PR as, Your Relationship with the Public and that you should begin using PR from the onset of your business. It will increase brand recognition, and boost your sales of products and services. 90 percent of reporters are getting their information from the Internet, so an Online Press Kit is essential to your Online Business Success!

As part of his company, PressKit 24/7 he has established a source to bring potential media opportunities right into your Inbox. PitchRate.com is the name of this site and it’s completely free! You can register, include a profile, select your area of expertise, along with subcategories and daily you will receive a digest of media opportunities. You can also search on the site for keywords relative to your business.

Drew loves games, and so do I! So he has offered the participants of today’s teleseminar an incredible prize for the person that gets the most people to sign up for PitchRate. That’s where I need your help! If you would like to get daily feeds of media opportunities and grow your business through online press release marketing, please sign up for this free service. And then send me a quick email to (terri.avirtualbiz@gmail.com) and put your name in the subject line. And of course, I’d love to get your feedback to share with Drew.

It’s very important that you send me an email, otherwise, I won’t know that you signed up and can’t count you in my group. I’ll follow up and let you know if YOU helped me win!

I am constantly amazing by the number of plugins, widgets and features that are available for my WordPress Blog. I actually have this one and I have a static page that I have set-up through the blog platform for my Tasting The Internet, One Byte at a Time Program.

I am hosting a Free Webinar on February 26th at 2 pm eastern, “Why Should I use Twitter?” and I needed a sign-up form for people to register for the webinar. After checking with my friend and colleague, Rebecca Zwar with Social Web diVA and Invisible Assistant, she shared an incredible plugin called GWA Autoresponder for WordPress.

I have been very pleased with this plugin so far. People have registered for my webinar and they receive an automatic autoresponder with some freebies that I’m giving away and then I’ll be able to add them to my newsletter list and communicate all the details of the webinar.

If you are looking for a easy to set-up, fast to learn and effective autoresponder for your blog, look no further than GWA Autoresponder for WordPress.

Oh, and by the way, there’s still time to register for my Free Webinar, “Why Should I use Twitter.”

At the end of 2008, I had an opportunity to read many blog posts from Internet experts making their predictions for 2009 and guess what was at the top of their list: Social Media Marketing. It is anticipated that Social Media will grow at unprecedented rates in 2009 and beyond as more and more businesses seek to leverage this powerful new marketing channel.

A further prediction is that Social Media Marketing Services will be in very high demand through 2009! Most businesses either lack the time or expertise to effectively carry out all the necessary Social Media Marketing Activities and will be seeking to delegate these tasks to skilled Social Media Marketing Specialists.
