Twitter is generally called, and considered a micro blogging platform by a lot of people- some of these should know better. Twitter is much more than this. Explaining twitter will take longer than I have in this article but I will spend some time explaining to you why you and your business should be on Twitter.

You will appear smarter than your competitors- Chances are, across a majority of industries that many of your competitors will not be on Twitter. At the same time, many of your potential clients will probably have heard of Twitter. If you have a Twitter profile then your potential clients will be impressed. They will think that you are up to date with technology and cutting edge.

You will be smarter than your competitors- In all truth you will not only appear smarter than your competitors, you will be smarter than your competitors. Twitter is the way of the future. In a society where there is an overabundance of information, everybody will be looking for a way where they can follow information that they want from sources that they want in a synthesized way. They can get the information that they need to get in small doses.

You can engage in another way with your clients and potential customers- These days, business is getting more and more competitive. Going forward, you will need to utilize every communication channel possible to reach your audience. Twitter is a free channel that you can use to engage with your audience. Not only should you utilize this channel to try and sell to your product or service, but you should also utilize this channel to share more information about yourself and your business.

Twitter should be a tool that is utilized by all businesses. As you can see from the three reasons mentioned above, there are a variety of reasons why it will suit your business.

1. Define your task- What are you trying to achieve with this PR plan? What are your goals? Without a clear definition of what you are trying to do, how do you know if you’ve achieved anything?

2. Locate information- Once you know what you want to do, you need to find out information so you can organise and more fully define your message. You also need to work out who your target publics are what they want to hear and where they want to hear it.

3. Select resources- once you have all your information it’s time to select the resources that will help you achieve your results.

4. Organise your campaign- You may have only been brainstorming up until this stage but you now need to organise everything in to a cohesive plan. You should set it out in a way that is easy to follow and so other people in your business can follow what you are trying to achieve.

5. Present your campaign- We are now at the section where you need to implement your campaign. You need to get your message out to your audience using the avenues that are most likely to appeal to them. If you don’t, you are wasting your time and money

6. Evaluate your work- Was your public relations campaign successful? Were some parts of the plan more successful then others? Are there some changes that you could make to your tactics to boost the success of your campaign?

Public Relations is not a passive venture. It is something you can implement easily for your business but it is something you need to be proactive whilst you are doing it.

When you are engaging in any Public Relations ventures, there are some things that you need to answer. The questions that you need to make sure that you answer can be broken down in to the following categories- who, what, when, where, why and how.

Who- Who are you (how do you want your audience to see you) and who are you trying to reach? Who should be hearing your message?

What- What is the message you are trying to get out there and what do you want your audience to do with your message?

When- When are you going to put out the message and when do you want your audience to react to your message by?

Where- where do your audiences go for information? Where is your message going to have maximum impact? Where will your audience need to go to benefit fully from your message?

Why- Why would your message be of interest to anyone? Why should they take action?

How- How can your audience utilize your message effectively? How can you track the success of your message?

Proactive Public Relations means that you need to answer the questions that I have outlined above. If you do not answer these questions, then your message will not be as effective as it could be.

You can spend a bucket load of money advertising in a newspaper but, more and more, ads are getting less effective. People tend to ignore advertising but will pay attention to newspaper articles.

I have worked in telecommunications for a long time. One of the companies I work with is the long established Optus partner Talking Power Solutions. Talking Power Solutions is a company that provides business telecommunications solutions for a enterprises from one mobile phone to businesses with offices Australia Wide and large fleets of mobiles.

Business Start Up is an important time when it comes to your telecommunications needs. There are so many options available to you that it can be hard to know where to begin. I love dealing with start up enterprises. You can always feel the excitement in the voice of the owner of the new business. However, I don’t want to see them making any mistakes by making the wrong choice with their telecommunications. For example, nothing would pain me more then seeing someone who would have benefited from getting a blackberry or smart phone settling for something less technological because it was a little cheaper. Often times, if someone spends a little bit more upfront making sure that they buy the right smart phone, then the ROI means exponential profits and time saved because they can work whilst they are on the road.

This week, I want you to keep an eye out for me for people who are about to start their own business. I want to be able to help them pick the right telecommunications products from the beginning so that they can grow their telecommunications infrastructure effectively as their business grows.

Alternatively, you may be the person who is starting out on their own business venture. If you want a cost effective solution that will suit your business now, and as it grows, then you should get in touch. I guarantee it will be worth your while.

The Nokia E72 is the newer and handsomer upgrade to its older brother, the Nokia E71. The Nokia E71 has been a huge success for Nokia and I am surprised the E72 did not hit our shores earlier. I mean, Nokia had announced the E72 a long time ago.

That’s not to say that they haven’t delivered with the E72 now that it is finally here. The E72 takes everything that was great about the E71 and makes it better. The Nokia E72 is easy to use. The dome shaped keys on the QWERTY keyboard mean that, despite their being small in size. The E72 is also designed for ease of messaging- supporting POP3/IMAP as well as Lotus and Exchange servers. It has also been designed to cater for those interested in Instant Messaging.

Check out what Nokia had to say about the E72 when they announced its launch.

Investing your money in assets that grow is the sure fire way to wealth. Most people think there are only three types of investments- tern deposits, shares and real estate. This is not the case. There are a variety of other investment options available to you. You could:

Start your own business- With the internet and a globally connected world, it has never been easier to start your own business. In many instances, you can set up something with no investment but your own time. As your profits grow, you can reinvest in the business to see it grow exponentially.

Breed animals- I am not talking about alpaca or emu farms or some other crazy get rich quick scheme, but there is money to be made from breeding animals. For example, you could get yourself relatively well set up as a greyhound breeder for around $8-10k and this can offer you the chance of more than 20)% return if you get a big enough litter.

Vending Machines- Another great way to make money is with vending machines, although you do need to find the right area to put them. Very cheap and easy to maintain, vending machines require little effort on your behalf once put in place but can bring great rewards.

There you have it. You do need to invest your money wisely but you must remember that you do not necessarily have to invest in the ‘standard’ investment opportunities that others go for.
