Forget ringing, I am yelling in your ears for this one. You are going to love me for this…

Okay, so today most of us manage several social networking accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Linked-In, Ning, etc).  The initial mission was to grow our businesses and connect with customers by using social media marketing. What a great opportunity, right? The wellspring of potential is enormous, when you really think about it. But for most of us, our mission quickly morphed into mission impossible as we signed up for too may sites and lost control and sight of the end game, profits.

Let me reintegrate the fact that you are right to be moving in this direction. Your vision and purpose can’t be shackled by costly and inefficient marketing any longer.

Except….

You have working your poor brain into a tailspin trying to cover all the bases (i.e. joining, managing and strategizing social networks). And, it all seems impossible to manage, let alone profit from. If you are thinking to call it quits cause things just aren’t clicking or that visitors may have determined you don’t have your act together enough to do business with you…You have on the wrong glasses. The great thing about being online is that it is never too late to start over and get it right! So let’s regroup here as I share a little known feature that can help you reign in your social media cattle…

It’s called Ping.fm

What is Ping.fm

Only the vest kept secret in internet marketing in my opinion. Ping.fm is a free online service that allows you to link all your social media sites together and update them all at once via status updates, blogs and email! SWEET, RIGHT? It takes the pain out of trying to remember all the passwords to update your various networks of offers and the like.

Now, I know what you may be thinking, this is just another thing to sign up for and get lost in the wind. No need to be afraid. Ping.fm is a tool that allows you to link all of your social media networking sites and update them from one place all at once!

When I discovered this tool, I was like (cue music…ahhhhhh)! I mean really, it is simple to use and set up and Ping.fm offers outstanding customer support through a tool near and dear to my O.B.M. heart called Pbworks.com (I use this for creating and documenting systems in my online business….pssst, its free too). I digress.

If you are still feeling a little apprehensive, you have a right to be. I know well of being in the place and space of “I’m not joining any other networks”. I am sure you have had a really bumpy SM experience. So, I don’t blame you for being skeptical and you are right to be. Ping is not the end all be all. It, does not house “every single” social networking site or application on the web. However, you’ll have all the biggies!

On the other side of the coin, some of you are ready to get linked and start pinging all over the place..lol. GO FOR IT!

Type Ping.fm in your url and start consolidating your social media networks in a snap and gain take back control over you SM experience!
