I pride myself on finding the gold at the bottom of the pile of shit. There is nothing more important in life than staying positive. From a business standpoint, positive people make power salespersons. They also make for creative thinkers, fearless fighters and so much more.

Great topics, Pete!

I’m totally with you!

It’s odd. Even though I spent 15 years in the information technology field, including web development, I am still very bewildered by all the social content on the web. It reminds me of my early days learning how to program. The ability to connect socially and gain financially through those business connections is astounding and overwhelming. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it is for pest control companies that are plagued by techno-phobia.

So far, I have created profiles on Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook to announce my pest control and consulting skills, but I mostly just connect socially, having reunited with friends around the world from 40 years ago. I am not just waving to old friends. I am truly reconnecting, creating “power relationships” with old companions.

The door is open to do similar things on a professional level and I am wholeheartedly engaged in making that happen.

Thanks for the advice, Josh. Believe me, I’m aware Facebook and Twitter are just the tip of the iceberg. Expansion of our social networking efforts is already in the works.

Facebook and Twitter are only two small aspects of a bigger picture. Since you have the concept of Social Networking and its importance well in hand try expanding on it.

Read other blogs and comment on them. Engage in conversations with people who do what you do. Not only will you benefit your own website when you link to it, but you will develop connections with other people in the industry that can be beneficial.

Find forums where people are discussing what you do. In many cases it will be some person asking a question that you can help answer.

Keep blogging, but start posting it on social bookmarking sites. Or at the very least offer up one of those social networking one click bookmark bars. You have ones for Facebook and Twitter in this page, but how do i Digg your article easily? Should I Stumble it?

You’ve got a small grasp on a larger world. Expand Pete….expaaaaaaand.
