Google Chrome Can Get You More “Likes”
A lot of you may remember a post made a few backs about a nifty piece of javascript that allowed us all to suggest our Facebook fan pages to all our friends at once. This was a truly powerful tool and something we at Black Card Marketing put to use on several occasions. Well sadly folks, the fine people over at Facebook have re-coded their user interface so that this little javascript magic no longer works.
But don’t fret! The top notch production team here at Black Card Marketing has tracked down a new way to avoid clicking each friend invite manually. Because lets be honest who wants to waste hours clicking hundreds and even thousands of times just to suggest your page to some people.
The key my friends is Google Chrome. I’m a long time Firefox user and I’m still pretty loyal to the good people from Firefox who have provided me some great years of internet browsing. And to be honest I still use Firefox for most of my personal browsing and internet needs. That being said, in recent weeks I have made the long anticipated switch to Google Chrome for my daily work related internet use. The big reason being its speed. I never thought I would be able to find a noticeable difference in browsing speed and page loading from one browser to another but let me tell you, there is a definite speed increase from Firefox to Chrome.
Killer Facebook Secret! Get Tons of Fans!
Hey everyone, here is an awesome little trick that can help you grow your fan pages, groups, and events exponentially. We’ve all been through the tedious work of adding hundreds of friends one at a time. But thanks to a little nifty javascript manipulation you can suggest or invite your entire friends list all with a few clicks. Watch the video below!
Here is the code you will need to paste into your browser’s URL bar: javascript:fs.select_all()

21 Rules for Social Media Success
Social media is reinventing marketing, communications, and the dissemination of information. While businesses now have access to these rich channels, the true promise of social media lies in the direct connections between people who represent companies and the people who define markets of interest.
Today, many businesses approach this with the establishment of social media guidelines and policies. This is indeed an important step, and not one worth economizing. But it’s also not enough. I highly recommend establishing official procedures that remind representatives of the importance and privilege of engagement.
The openness of popular networks is trivial. Any business can join and create a profile. It’s the devices we employ, the intentions that motivate engagement, and the value we offer that dictate the significance of the brand-specific social graphs we weave. It’s a simple investment in either visibility or presence. In social media, just like in the real world, presence is felt.

Essential Tips For Facebook Privacy
The latest changes to Facebook have seen their fair share of criticism, with many users examining more closely the definition of “public vs. private.” Some users have been turned off enough by Facebook’s envelope pushing when it comes to privacy to go so far as to contemplate a mass Facebook exodus.
Whether or not the changes become the final blow to Facebook’s tenuous relationship with privacy remains to be seen. However, protecting your privacy is important on any social network, so while you’re still on Facebook, here are a few important privacy tips to keep in mind as you navigate the site’s newest incarnation.

Organize Your Contacts for Networking Success
Managing your online network is critical, whether you’re looking for a job, trying to advance in your career, or you’re starting a business. Think of the Internet as a global talent pool that has more contact information than the White Pages. In fact, 80 percent of available jobs are never even advertised, with more than half of all employees finding their jobs through networking, according to BH Careers International.
Social networks have connected and exposed us to more people than ever before. With all the online friends and followers you’ve accumulated, it’s become increasingly complicated to make sense of your social graph and use it to your advantage. It’s also never been more important to build your contact database, organize it, and then put it to work for you. The old adage “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” is true, so consider your rolodex more valuable than your wallet when it comes to achieving success in business.
Here is how to create a basic contact management strategy, stay connected and organized from your desktop to your phone, and give you some insight onto how to expand your network.

5 Steps to Taking Customer Service Social
There has been a debate recently over who owns the customer. The debate has lurked in the shadows of company board rooms and around the water coolers. Truthfully there is no one right answer the question. This is because, realistically every department, team and employee in the company has ownership of the customer. All of these people take part in creating a positive environment and experience for the customer.
Customer service is no longer an area to triage customer complaints. It’s about anticipating customer needs at the right time and place. Organizations must relearn how to interact with their community, shed some of the heavily automated barriers, and get back to the basics of customer service.

Online Video Will Push Internet Traffic to Quadruple by 2014!!!
Cisco Systems has predicted that Internet networking traffic will have quadrupled between 2009 and 2014 in its Annual Visual Networking Index Forecast. It also predicted that online video will be the primary driver of that growth.
Cisco’s report says that 767 exabytes of data (one exabyte is the equivalent of one billion gigabytes) will be transferred online in 2014, and that 91% of consumer traffic will be online video, which will include both traditional web video and video-on-demand provided by television providers.

You Crashed The Server!
I’m sorry! It’s not your fault exactly… we did a soft launch yesterday and this is exactly
why we do soft launches. We drove so much traffic to our page explaining how you can make
some good money by helping small businesses generate leads that our server crashed.
So if you missed it, here are a few things the video covered:
* How you can cash-in on the biggest business trends of this generation
* How you can own your own business without buying a million dollar franchise
* How you can co-author a book with Bestselling Author Gerry Robert and borrow his status to build your business
This is the image people saw (after it crashed):
Sorry about that. We resolved the issues and put some resolutions in place so it does not happen again.
Sincerely,
Gerry Robert
Bestselling Author, The Millionaire Mindset
P.S. You better move quickly before our server gets another load of traffic and slows to a call. I’m just kidding, but seriously, go now!!
