Wow..I just listened to a great video over at Lee McIntyres blog..If you are unsure of your own abilities, or struggling to get things moving online I think you should hear this. Lee has been at the bitter end of the struggle for online financial independence. Working alongside his day job he worked like a nutter to make an income and had his fair share of ups and downs.

Today, Lee is one of the most respected marketers online for his integrity and honesty as well being very successful!

Google Search based Keyword Tool – sktool

This keyword tool, currently in beta, pulls out keywords on websites aimed at Google Adwords users. However the amount of useful information you can get should make it of interest to anyone who markets their websites. There is a monthly searches column as well as direct links to the landing page per keyword.

One thing that makes this really interesting is the search terms you can find on sites in your niche that you may never have heard of.

Automating your Social Media Presence

Publishing your content onto a blog and the power of RSS that comes with it gives you the opportunity to syndicate out to your social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and Friendfeed.

Wordpress Plug ins such as tweet my blog and twitter tools will notify your Twitter feed when you publish new blog posts. Following that you want to install a couple of applications in Facebook.  Just click on the link and install. (You will need to be logged into facebook)
Stumble Upon
Friendfeed
Twitter

Now then, there is another way - Ping.fm gives you the ability to do update all your social media site profiles from one dashboard. There’s a large selection here including facebook, myspace, mashable, twitter, friendfeed and a lot more. This is their Facebook Application..Ping.fm

So your blog post is published which informs Twitter, which in turn tells Friendfeed and a host of other services rippling outwards. You may get instances of double messages here and there, I had this on Facebook because Friendfeed was posting on there as well as Twitter (which was also on my friend feed)..more confusing than it sounds…trust me.

I have friendfeed and twitter set up in many other social platforms including eacademy, mybloglog, various Squidoo and various other remote content sites, you can see the power in this.

With the StumbleUpon application every time you review or give the thumbs up to any web pages this will also appear on your FB feed.

In MySpace upgrade your profile to 2.0 and go to ‘more’ in the main menu and navigate to ‘apps’ – do a search in applications for the above and add those there too.

Well worth setting up if you haven’t already!

There are of course countless others that can be interwined into this syndication spiral, but please comment if you have any twists to this strategy that can be included
