Gone Viral: I dont care about your farm, or your fish, or your park, or your mafia!!!
Have you seen the huge influx of weird fan pages popping up? People come up with the most bizarre combination of political views, vague references, passive aggressive behavior, and goofy ideas to create a fan page and see if other people will fan them. One of the things that I love about facebook is what a lot of people hate. I like to see the fan pages and groups people join because to be honest,…
Read MorePassion: For WordPress, Websites, and Water Treatment
I love enthusiasm! I’m actually pretty excited because I’ve caught some amazing energy from Valerie Cudnik, the owner of Computer Design Graphics. I’ve been waffling on my website for Blue Gypsy, Inc, and Valerie is propelling me forward toward getting it up and running. I know I need to get cracking because www.bluegypsyinc.com is my online office, but I’ve been in a quandary about the idea of paying lots of money to have someone design…

And the winner is…… After 5 days and over 200 submissions from all over the world, I chose my logo.

Read MoreValues and Goals Go Hand-in-Hand
Since my last post was about values, I wanted touch on goals. Goal setting is always something I’ve felt passionate about. Values and goals go hand-in-hand and make up who you are. Once you define your values, the things that make you tick and how you want to operate your life, your business, and your online presence, the next step is to use those values to define your goals. Whether they are social media goals,…
Read MoreJeff Turner: "Social Media Is Value Driven"
Yesterday at Social Media @ the Beach, a local SM event in Hampton Roads, listening to the Keynote speaker, Jeff Turner, was like listening to an old friend. Actually one of my best friends…my Dad! Let me explain. My father has always been one of my mentors. I’m lucky. Not only is my father a great dad, and a successful business man, but he also was a mentor and coach to groups of CEO’s for…
Read MoreAnd the Miss Understanding…OSC’s Pay Attention, That’s Their Job!
In my last post I talked about an agent who put out a public tweet on losing a sale due to perceived lack of follow-up on the part of a customer… My intention was never to slam this agent nor make her look bad. (hence I kept the name out of it) And for the record, this is an excellent agent with an amazing track record. The point of my post, and if I missed…

As an Online Sales Consultant, and Lead Gypsy (CEO) of my new business, Blue Gypsy, Inc. a lead management service for builders and real estate professionals, I can tell you that attention is exactly what…
Read More"What? You’re Not Following Me? I’m Going To Take My Toys and Go Home!"
I’ve been hovering around 940 followers on twitter for a month or so now. I follow about 920 tweeters. They are not all the same people. Yet every day there are several more twitter followers in my inbox. Still…the number keeps bouncing between 940-945. For some people the above scenario would be annoying. They’d follow everyone who follows them to get their numbers up. And now with so many automated tools out there that will…
