There are so many social media sites available today.  God knows I am probably on 100 different sites.  Being on so many sites can be difficult to track your success rate.

A few google searches and taking the time to find out how people found you will always be a guiding light in which what social networking sites to be active on.

Naymz.com is so under rated…if only people knew the true value.  I can attest to this since I recently changed the way I do business and have added additional services.  Naymz.com gets the word out…..

With endorsements, testimonials and a point system that allows active members to be found on the top of the search engines a true benefit for your online presence and SEO.

Check it out and let me know what you think.  If you are there  why not connect with me!

When tracking marketing it is extremely important to know where your leads are coming from.  I often wonder when someone calls to utilize your services do you remember to think about…

Lead Generation | How did they find me?

Often times when I pose this question to someone they are not sure…either somewhere online or so and so referred me.  I don’t know about you…but I really appreciate specifics.   I want to know is my marketing working for me and what marketing specifically?

Yes I know more than likely most track where their leads come from but I wonder when someone asks you, how did you find me…do you remember or are you toooooo busy to provide it? I’m not being a jerk here just trying to make a point.

Everyone in business want to to track their marketing….any business and you should!

This doesn’t pertain to just real estate but to all businesses that would include mortgage brokers | insurance agents | doctors | lawyers | webmasters…etc. etc.  To me we have to help each other and by providing this courtesy to your personal service providers may very well help you to remember to ask that very important question yourself.

How did you find me?

Thank you Hubspot!  You guys rock….

When the fall months come and the air is much cooler I seem to slow down. Less activity = more downtime or in my case I seem to really reflect and soul search.  I plan.   And many times the decisions that I make seem to happen by end of the year.

• I got married in December twice
• Closed on a house in December
• Changed jobs, careers and brokerages
• Bought cars in December

Yes, December has always been a very active month for me and this December is no different.  My life is about to change and I’m not sure where it’s going to take me.  It’s something new…exciting …and a little scary…and in many ways a dream come true! I am about to embark on a new career path for me it’s the beginning of an exciting journey really truly working online.

Three years ago I set goals for myself and slowly my goals are starting to become reality.

I have to let some things go in order to proceed…

One is actively selling real estate.   Real Estate has been a huge part of my life but my passion lies within training and teaching.   It’s time to get back to training neutrally and without the REALTOR logo.  (that to me is a little scary and sad)

My latest endeavor is writing web content and offering SEO services on behalf of International Web Media or better known as IWMonlne.com, my fearless leader Bruce Kirkpatrick is innovative, a hard core web developer and offers some amazing products.  Everyday I learn something new and everyday I am excited.  The feeling is not much different than closing your very first sales contract.  That excitement hits me everyday that I work.  Lucky me…I work from home!

Finally I will have time to write real estate training, finish ebooks and continue with my sites:

• DaytonaRealEstateTrainer.com
• MidoriMiller.com
• MidoriInterviews.com

So this winter if you are snowed in or feeling a bit lazy…why not take some downtime and take a hard look at your own reflection..if you do not like what you see…take steps to change it!

Make it a great week!

Happy Birthday Firefox!

Happy Birthday Mozilla!

5 Years Old and getting better!

Today I read an interesting article about technorati authority.  How irrelevant blog rolls are to your ranking.  Yes it’s changed… and if you didn’t know it -read the full article here.

Quoting Jean Mclean, The Technorati news..

“The new crawler also relies more heavily on feed data. To be certain that your full posts and all of your links are indexed, please provide a full-content feed.  As some blogs only provide partial or plain-text feeds, we may not collect links from those posts.”

I guess that means I need to get to work!

Recently I connected with a gentleman who has really impacted me by offering an opportunity that I have always wanted.  I took it..but I feel I am on shaky ground.  No not in the meaning my days are number but the fact that someone has put the fire under my feet and really made me think of what  is of importance…to me and is my online presence really working for me or taking over my life?

I’m spread too thin online and in real life.  Condensing down my online activities might very well add more time in my real life!  That would be the correct way to use technology..to enhance your real life and not let your online life take  over!

So for the past few weeks I’ve taken some time to evaluate what I am doing online  slowly The Business Center will take on a whole new look with more information and much more opinion.  My opinion…I’ve been known to remain politically correct.  Yes I’ll keep it clean and continue with business training and tips |   photos | video | news |  and  | real estate training but will be adding features and pages coming soon!

Two other sites going under face lifts are

Celebrity Truths | MidoriInterviews.com – MY personal favorite online celebrities speaking in their words and a few of my own.    Fashion | Celebrity Gossip |  Music | Video | Photos and more!  If you are interested in being interviewed join the community!

Florida Real Estate Trainer | Daytona Beach After School Training – Midori Miller talks about real estate for Agents | Brokers | Buyers| Sellers.  Daytona Beach Florida Photo’s |  local area information.

If you have an online presence you might want to ask yourself a very important question, What are your goals online and what are you doing to make them happen?

Instead of training real estate agents so much….I’ve been the student and being a student requires doing lots of homework!  Stay tuned!
