An Invitation for You to Ask Us for Help

When we launched this blog in May, our hope was to reach out to the Isagenix Membership online and offer our help where needed. We would be like a St. Bernard in the alps looking for injured skiers with a cask of brandy around its neck. When you need help establishing your own web presence and you hit a snag, we would be there to offer our assistance. And brandy.

What we need now is to hear from you. What are you having trouble with, and how can we help?

Are you setting up your first paid search campaign?

Are you trying to build a cold market on Twitter?

Maybe you’re working on a warm market on Facebook?

Or maybe you’re just dipping your toes into the Internet for the first time, and want to know what to do first.

In short, we need to know what you will benefit from the most if we write about it. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, telling us how we can help. Or, you can message us on our Twitter account @isageeks. And we’ll bring the brandy.

QR Codes

So what are QR codes? QR stands for “Quick Reference” or “Quick Response”. A QR code is a barcode that is readable by QR scanners (such as mobile phones with cameras and smartphones – hint, hint).  The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a (typically) white background. These codes can redirect the user to a web address, text, or other data:

Geosocial Networking at Celebration 2010

If you stopped by the Social Media Road Show table at this year’s Celebration, you probably saw us showing people how to set up their phones to use the geosocial networking site Gowalla. You may have read our earlier post on Gowalla, and how to set it up on your phone.

So why did we do this? There are a couple of reasons. The easy one is that it’s fun. A number of attendees were able to share with their Twitter and Facebook followers where they were, what they were doing, and even pictures with their check-ins.

The larger story, however, is that geosocial networking is an emerging online media tool. With Foursquare becoming one of the top social networks in it’s own right, and last month’s unveiling of Facebook Places, you should be aware of how these tools work.

And like any other marketing tool, it’s use is largely up to how you want to use it. Let’s say you’re planning to do a product demonstration at the park. You create a check-in for others, letting them know you’re in the area. When they get near your position, they will be able to see you as a nearby checkin point. So instead of only attracting people who are walking by and see you, you can reach out to anyone in the park who’s connected to Foursquare or Places or Gowalla.

These tools are growing in active users each month – so the possibility of people finding you like this is improving every day. Remember, it’s only been a few years since Facebook opened membership to everyone, or since Twitter was the exclusive playground of the geeks.

Geosocial is just social media’s latest incarnation.
