			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social media advertising is an essential for any business trying to survive in this new web 2.0 world. As most internet users have one or another social network that they operate from. Thus where is the number one place to attract more customers? You got it.Where the customers are already located. Seems pretty simple right?</p>
<p>Well there lies the problem. If you are a new online business owner then you are probably right about now learning how to even operate your website and have yet to think about your marketing. Well lets be honest think about your 9-5 job or the one you used to have. How many of those companies or parent companies had internal It departments. Just about every one of them right?</p>
<p>There is the reason that even major corporations value the help provided from the technical department. As this is a position better suited for the professionals. Think of it this way. You are already competing with other business owners for top positioning do you really want to go against companies that market for a living as well? Seems like a pointless venture to me. The cost of proper online advertising is nothing compared to the cost of not having your business name out there and never making any money.</p>
<p>Look the money you have already invested lets face it it&#8217;s a lot of money. Specially by now you have been burned by tax clubs or business ops that all have promised to take you to the top with big words and fancy sayings. This does not progress your business. Your business progresses when you progress. You have to become a part of your own business. Let the techs handle the tech stuff you worry about your customer service, your products, the look and feel of your website. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dustintwyman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/helpyou.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-267" title="helpyou" src="http://www.dustintwyman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/helpyou.jpg" alt="helpyou" width="295" height="150" /></a>As business roles on and the high speed internet becomes the number one medium for conducting business. So goes the struggle finding the difference between fact and fiction. This is not any easier with the increase of so called media consultants. This is once again an area true professional’s find themselves frustrated. There are those of us who actually care about the progression of your company if anything else for the continued growth of the industry. This is unfortunately not what some people have in mind while &#8220;helping you&#8221; with your web 2.0 while remaining vague or discussing the truths with fancy words that lead now where.</p>
<p>I am a firm believer that the more transparent you are regarding the true nature of social media advertising. Those same business owners who some people try to doop will naturally see the benefit of the time saved from not having to be the technician and the business owner. This is why businesses have IT departments. So the thought that you have to be dishonest about your services, the effects, and even sometimes the necessity of certain elements of you’re recently purchased program.</p>
<p>What does being a transparent company mean to me?</p>
<p>The first part of understanding transparency is to understand what it means to not be transparent. Fact one any form of online advertising you could do yourself if you had the technical skills and the understanding of what is going on. So fear tactics for example “if you don’t do this your business is going to fail!” How does that feel after you just spent 3k to 25k for a website?  Not very good right? How about the approach that actually helps you solve a problem. If the person explaining the service to you cannot even get you to understand what they are going to do . It probably is something you don’t need.</p>
