Pinterest, Scrapbooking on Steroids
Pinterest caught my interest about two months ago. I have been a scrapbooker for years but lately as I really concentrate on building the business I have not had much time to complete any of my scrapbook projects.
Then along came Pinterest. Personally I love it!
Go to Pinterest.com and request an invite, it may take a few days to receive your invitation but it will come.
“Pinterest is a virtual pinboard to organize and share the things you love.”
Pinterest consists of “Boards” similar to bulletin boards where you post pictures of things that interest you, like, have a passion for, helps your business and many many more reasons.
Once your invitation arrives get in there and set up your boards. You don’t have to set them all up right away, new ideas will come to you as you see the “pins” of others. The basics they provide are an excellent way to get started.
I have found the easiest way to pin is to install the “Pin it” button on my tool bar. Here is a video that shows you just how to do that;
If you’re like me and use Firefox here is that version too;
Once you have the button so nice and hand right up there on the toolbar it makes it so quick and easy to share the content your find interesting, worthwhile and or funny!
Be sure to add the Pinterest buttons to your website, that way people can easily share your great information!
Happy Pinning & once you’re on please do connect with me Carla On Pinterest
Find Your Customers on Social Media

Today I was creating a new Facebook Timeline video product. That meant I was poking around on Facebook today more than normal.
I discovered Diane Kennedy on Facebook. Diane designs clothing and creates some of them in bamboo fabric! Be sure to click the link and “Like” her page too.
Find Your Customers on Social Media
The fabric is made here in Canada and the clothing is stitched together here in Vancouver.
A super bonus for me! Environmentally friendly because of the fabric and because they are made right here in my own back yard.
As soon as I discovered her I realized I just had to go and take a peek, the bonus was that she was advertising a sale from her Facebook Page.
For me it was a 30 minute drive, but well worth it. An excellent product and so very comfortable.
The moral of the story…
It only took two hours for a potential customer to find her on Facebook, take action and show up at the store and spend money. If people are telling you that the return on investment with social media is lousy, I suggest you look again. Congratulations Diane for being active in promoting your business on Facebook! I am very glad you did.
Believe me, you can definitely find your customers on social media.

Are You Willing To Do What It Takes?
By · Comments
I recently read a blog post where one line really stood out for me; “It’s about the willingness to!”
Building a business on-line takes that willingness to do what ever it takes, to be willing to keep going even when you want to quit.
There have been lots of times I was ready to quit but I didn’t, and I am so very glad I didn’t.
One of my inspirations comes from an unlikely source, my dog Tyra. She demonstrates to me what it takes in her own way!
;
She gives what ever she does her “ALL” and that inspires me. 
Plus she has also taught me the importance of taking care of yourself and getting the rest we all know we need.
We had a great day at the dog Off-Leash Park today, she even got me running!
What inspires you? Who or what demonstrates to you they are willing to do what it takes?

Another Great Job from Fiverr
By · Comments
Have you ever been in a hurry to have something created for a project?
I wanted a graphic created yesterday, sound familiar?
Or maybe you just can’t wait to have someone “dance to 2 minutes of any song of your choice in a hot dog costume for $5″
But Wait, what about?
“dance for one minute to your song in a panda costume and VIDEO it for $5″
These are just a couple of projects that you can have done for you for ONLY $5.00 on Fiverr.
I personally have used Fiverr for a number of graphics projects and realized that I could serve you even better by sharing this great resource.
You can have many, many small jobs done for you. Some are wild and crazy (good for those affiliate videos) others are just plain awesome.
I had the cover graphic for my Facebook personal profile created by Nolan Rennie on Fiverr, then when it was time to have the cover created for the Butterfly Networking Facebook page I went right back to him. Check out his work by clicking on the links. For only a $5.00 investment I believe I will be changing my cover often.
If you have used Fiverr before I would love to hear about Another Great Job from Fiverr that you experienced. What did you have done?
Do you have anyone you too can recommend? Please share.
