What’s Facebook?: Facebook is an example of a social status site. Most people (if not everyone) has heard about it, (and if you haven’t then thats okay, that’s why I’m writing this).  This site allows you to create a profile (very simple).  Then, you can connect with, friends, family and others.  This lets you know what your friends and family members are up to, AND it also keeps your family and friends know what YOU are up to!

What’s a “Post”?: On Facebook, a “Post” is a brief sentience, (or extremely tiny paragraph) on what you are up to, what you did, what you are going to do, or ANYTHING else that happens to pop into your mind (I like to post quotes that I like on my profile).  

Have you been on a vacation recently? Where you out with friends of family? Did you happen to bring a camera?……Because if you did, then you can post your photos or videos on Facebook!…And if you didn’t, then I’m sure one of your friends did, so go check out their profile and comment on their pictures (or just look at them).  Next post will be on how to tell the difference between a Facebook Profile and Facebook Page.

The key to keywords....and a few other tips

Do you have a website?  If you are a business owner, then I should hope you at least have a basic blog.  

Now, I know you’re probably saying “But I have a website, but how do I get people to actually see it?” 

This is where some of the behind the scene nitty gritty work will need to take place.  Don’t worry thought, it’s not hard!!! 

Lets say your website is all about how to take care of cute little pets (because that’s a fairly easy topic, and who doesn’t like pets?) 

So you have a couple posts on how to give your dog a proper bath, and the right kind of food to buy if you want to get a parrot.  

Now, how do you optimize this so you get the greatest visibility? 

You use keywords......of course, that’s easier said then done.  

In the body of your post, string in some words that one of your potential followers would use while searching in Google. 

Example: Your writing a post on how to properly feed a puppy and how much food you should give it etc.. 

Instead of just posting a recipe, or the food amount (e.g. half a cup dry food from xyz brand, and a teaspoon of warm milk to soften it...*I’m not an expert at feeding puppies so don’t follow that advice:)*)

Instead make it fun.  Maybe describe the first time you got a puppy, and how (if you did) you had trouble feeding him/her.  

Make it engaging, fun, and add details that you would want to read.  THEN, drop in words like “how to feed a puppy” (e.g for tie in: “when I got a puppy for my birthday, I was so excited.  He was a small, black, wiggle worm of joy.  Of course, I had no idea how to feed a puppy!”)  

See how you can weave it in?  

You also want to use other words.  in fact before you write your next post, sit down and write all the words or phrases you would use to search for the type of article you’re going to write.  

I really hope this has helped you.  And keep an eye out, I will be writing more on this!

……Something to Ponder…..

“In the name of the best within you, DO NOT sacrifice this world for those who are its worst. 

In the name of the values that keep you alive, DO NOT let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless, in those who have never achieved their title. 

DO NOT let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.  

DO NOT let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved but have not been able to reach. 

Check your road and the nature of your battle – the world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible.” 

~Ayn Rand (Author of: Fountain Head, Anthem, Atlas Shrugged and many more) I highly suggest all her books! 

The Worst Learning Environment

Can you think of an environment most people are exposed to everyday, that could be negatively effecting the way your brain learns and grows?

According to Brain Rules (chapter 2, pg. 32) “The brain appears to be designed to: (1) solve problems (2) related to surviving (3) in an unstable environment, and (4) to do so in near constant motion.”  So, where do we find ourselves on most days? At school, or in the office, sitting.  What if, in schools, we had our pop quizzes while on a recumbent bike?  Or, if you work in an office, your meetings were held while you were on a recumbent bike, or walking on a treadmill?  It might make for better test scores, or more lively employees…what do you think?

What Happens When We Sleep?!?

According to Brain Rules, “Sleep occupies a walloping one-third of our time on the planet, it is incredible to contemplate that we still don’t know why we need to sleep.” (Chapter 7 on Sleep).  Have you ever wondered what happens in your brain while 

you’re sleeping?

Brain Rules tells us, that when we are asleep, are brains are hard at work!

What?! Hmmm… wonder if that means we can actually learn and grow smarter while we’re sleeping, and the only real resting period for the brain is during non-REM sleep. 

(REM stands for Rapid Eye Motion)

So what are our brains DOING during all that electrical neuron storm? Apparently processing our day and life lessons!  I don’t know about you, but I love the idea that my brain is working and learning and processing lessons while I am sleeping! 

Here’s and analogy:  It’s like our body is like an iPod, and our beds are like our charging docks.  You get that right away, right? We know we have to recharge our devices after long periods of use.  Same thing with our bodies, and the bed-charging dock is also our sync-and-download period! 

(To read more on about what happens to your brain while asleep, read chapter 7 of Brain Rules).
