Social Media Pictures!

Kendri Burkett is the founder of Girls Out 2 Lunch.  A professional women’s network group.  I’m fortunate to be the web master;  www.GirlsOut2Lunch.com.  Kendri is also my make-up artist …   http://www.marykay.com/kendri. Jessica Dawkins, our photographer,  www.jdcphotography.com created a fun opportunity with Kendri to get professional head shots with fun, humor and encouraging others~

Ladies … you are professionals. You are the expert in what you do! 

This is an opportunity to present yourself as such~ 

This is what I have referred to as Corporate Identity for over 6 years.  Use these wonderful professional pictures for
•Biz card
•Web Site
•Face Book
•Twitter
• Marketing Materials

As a web designer / web master, I don’t feel logos are needed in today’s biz world. I have consulted and designed many biz cards / Corporate Identity for so many clients. 

Name / face recognition is what today’s biz world is all about. Call Kendri and Jessica to get your photo scheduled.  If you need help with your biz card let me know!

Check out my pictures … let me know which is your fav~

I love my job!  I get to meet incredible individuals with a passion for what they do.  How blessed am I that people trust me to tell their story on web sites!!!  I have over 30 women who have been in Girls Out 2 Lunch Professional Network group, www.GirlsOut2Lunch.com.   30 strong women supporting each other in biz, networking, biz tips, personal and spiritual support.  Thanks to each of you!

Men in networking ask who my clients might be.  I say all the way for www.PathwayToHope.org to www.GirlsOut2Lunch.com.  Many times, men have said I’ve heard of Girls Out to Lunch~  How nice to have our network group on the men’s radar also~ 

The Girls Out 2 Lunch web site was my first for a network group.  I’m the web master and a member of two groups with web sites under-construction.  www.TalkingTuesdays.com and www.womenNnetwork.com.  I’m enjoying the outstanding women in these groups also.

Smart phone literally means a phone smarter than your laptop~  For real.

I’m very glad I purchased a Windows mobile smart phone.  It’s easy to check the X 35 times to get back to your new home page on your new cell phone. 

·         Home page on desktop  CHECK

·         Home page on laptop  CHECK

·         Home page on cell phone  CHECK

I recommend purchasing your new phones at Best Buy.  They have phones with 4 different plans, ATT, Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile, that you can manage on-line … also pay as you go phones.  While ATT is the official and only seller for the iphone, Apple doesn’t let ATT stock the phone.  You can find the phone at Best Buy.

Best Buy  opens at  9:00 AM when all vendor stores are closed.  Nice option when you turn your phone off after talking with web hosting in Nova Scotia at 3:00 AM and not realize till 8:00 AM! I had an hour to shop Kohl’s big sale before I walked into Best Buy again for help! 

If you still use a laptop or desktop, you will want the touch-feel phone.  While these young adults, my kids ages, show me how they did home work and resumes with their cell phone, I showed them a biz owner will need to receive all e-mails with attachments!   They asked me what’s the deal with Twitter, etc.  I told them I do so because someone making money on social media that no one can use needs a job.  It was a very good exchange of information.

Most important, check list before you leave the store with your new phone:

·         Activate your voice mail … holding the #1 key still allows you to access the messages you miss when you turn off your phone .. good to know some things never change

·         Calibrate your new phone … just do it

·         You will want a regular keyboard accessible to you

·         You don’t have to use Microsoft outlook to receive your messages

·         As long as you don’t receive your e-mails at GoDaddy, you can have them POP your e-mails direct to your phone

·         If you are still hosting at GoDaddy … contact me … I will make you a deal you can’t refuse

If you don’t remember melting with how Groovy to get your pink Princess Phone (dial up) on your 16^th birthday … you will do just fine.

If you remember watching Growing Pains and the Crosby Family with your children … Best Buy staff has patience for you.  They never said User Error to me.  Not once!

If you remember the Mod Squad or Gilligan’s Island … we’re all meeting at the Lewis & Clark landing point at the City Market and sailing our own raft together to Gilligan’s island … and we’re not coming back!

When you do something full time for 6+ years that you enjoy, you immerse yourself in education, do consulting, and speak to groups while keeping aware of rapidly changing social media. I can design any web site you will need and then some.  

Everyone person / group I talk with hear me say my Web site contract is 9 pages long stating I don’t do adult web sites. You all smile and ask if that happens.  This happens often … again this AM.

A very strong tech person asked me to name my price 6 months ago, asking me to assist.   Adult web sites are money makers … especially in recessions.  I declined.  If you have visited my web site, you will find it rich in information.  This person has done a great job with their adult web site.  Almost looks like my style.  Now this person needs my help to make this web site work. 

The first step with any web site is the architecture.  How can I make the links work for what you are requesting … more, how can I make the links work for advanced needs you will need for the future and don’t know to ask for.  That’s ok.  You are the expert in what you do.  I’m the expert in how to make your web site work for you now … and in the future with out additional expense to you.

Yes, I work with audio / video files.  www.RobMusicianFoster.com  This is no additional cost to you.  If you need flash, I can do that also at no charge.  The capability is there and I can do it if you request and/or I think you should do so to be the web site of your industry that stands out above the others. 

Here is an example of a well designed web site. What do you do with a web site?  Before you can publish that web site you need some one with my expertise to do the architecture to make the links all work.  You need someone, like me, who knows 30+ web spiders beside Goggle who to submit this web site to the Internet.    Yes, these web sites costs more to host. This person needs my expertise to do the Search Engine words.  He really needs my services and he is willing to pay my price.

I am a successful web master, thanks to you for recommending me.  We all need money … There is an edge I won’t cross when working with musicians / artists, churches and you that could so easily meet the needs of this adult web site. 

This person told me he has paid $10,000 to date to get this web site to this point.  He knows how much money is needed to complete this adult web site.  I declined this web site.  I’ve declined $10,000.  As it says in my 9 page contract, I don’t do adult web sites.
