Changing Your Online Game

For many of us the Internet is not simply something we surf for a few minutes before bed each evening to catch up on emails; it's a huge part of our lives. From keeping in touch with friends and family to Tweeting and updating our Facebook statuses about our whereabouts and activities to playing an online game to unwind for a few minutes to promoting our businesses and keeping in touch with clients and customers, many of us spend more time online than we'd have ever imagined 15 or even 10 years ago. And despite the ubiquity and (sometimes seemingly impossible-to-live-without) ease of using the Web for communication, sometimes we lose sight of how impersonal social media and online communication can seem. If you use the Internet to keep in touch with others—whether it's a "Hi, I miss you" note on your sister's Facebook wall or a weekly newsletter announcing your business's discounts and specials—find one way this week to surprise and delight someone with whom you communicate online.

Special Announcement

Blue Butterfly Campaign Golf Tournament

Date: August 27, 2010
Time: 1:30 p.m.
Location: Langdon Farms Golf Course in Wilsonville, Oregon

Therapy in Transition is pleased to sponsor the first annual Blue Butterfly Campaign Golf Tournament, a fundraising event benefiting those who suffer from Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The leading cause of death among children, leukemia research has shockingly low funds at its disposal. In addition to raising money for research, the Blue Butterfly Campaign provides an online resource directory for families and friends of children with cancer. Once a doctor makes such a diagnosis, they often find the journey overwhelming and difficult; as such, the campaign supports those people by collecting and categorizing the best information available under one easy-to-navigate umbrella so they can more easily locate the many wonderful organizations. The Blue Butterfly Campaign seeks to provide a gateway that includes leading childhood cancer experts, financial aid, support groups, books, counselors and much more. Therapy in Transition is thrilled to be part of this fundraising effort. You can learn more about the Blue Butterfly Campaign here.

Goodwill and Social Media

The Internet has provided us with a free platform to market our products and services. Smart marketing, however, involves subtle techniques of convincing people you truly offer the best products or service because you are an expert in your niche. To build this kind of brand value you need to sound authoritative and knowledgeable. For instance, when you send out newsletters and emails, use a tone that says “I know what I am talking about” without sounding arrogant or pompous. Your posts on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites should also carry the same note of authority.

Sounds great, right? I know; it sounds wonderful to me too! As Therapy in Transition continues to move through the ebb and flow of its journey, I have come not only to live and breathe but also love the idea of social media and what it means to us as an organization. Originally I joined the world of Facebook to connect with family and friends who live at a distance, only to quickly learn that as a business we can also be connecting with current clients, potential clients and strategic partners. But navigating these new waters opened up a whole new world. Here are three concepts I’ve learned as a business owner and would like to share to hopefully allow you to embrace using social media a little more effectively.
