Another month! Thank you for your continued support! =D I really appreciate all of you! (And, if you haven't already, join our #SocialCafe to get free training and resources... Tues 6p PT/9p ET on Twitter.)
Wow - how time flies when you are having fun! Thanks, all, for the great ideas. I'll get working on our 2018 #SocialCafe calendar. Have a great one! #SameTime#NextWeek
@Kathrynclang Thanks, Kathryn! I can get the social fun ready to share and don't mind a tiny kick :). But, I like that you have us on your schedule. Thank you! #SocialCafe
I'm going to throw an idea out there for you. In 2015, we did two 10-week series with reps.. a lot of work (no complaints) but I could use some extra help in getting the word out, for the reps' sake. Any takers? #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@Kathrynclang So, Con, you mean being careful that we don't align Twitter too closely with all of the other social networks? Realizing it is its own animal? #SocialCafe
Q2 Not sure if this should be a separate question, but curious about the idea of a month focused on bitcoin/cryptocurrency. Any interest? Or, maybe one week of #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@Kathrynclang Nothing wrong with that but #twitter just looks like low hanging fruit to me and I think we need to be careful about wrapping it too closely to the social component #socialcafe
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney@socialcafechat I think that all social media platforms have a place moving ahead, but we have to get back to the basics of what it takes to build a business and the success we want. #socialcafe
Welcome, everyone, to our last #SocialCafe of 2017. Can you believe we have been doing this... going on six years? Wow! Great ride and all because of you!
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe I'm working on my plan for the #NewYear, and my anchor word for 2018 is PURPOSE - taking actions on purpose and for a purpose - so intentional writing fits :D #SocialCafe
A3 If you have a tool that auto-suggests #keywords definitely consider that tool, even in using it in other apps (i.e. my Instagram tool for #Twitter) #SocialCafe
Primary are the critical few that distinguish you Secondary are more common but still help to define you I recommend 6 of the former and 12 of the latter in a typical #linkedin profile #socialcafe
A2: This (double now) challenge to use #keywords has me thinking I need a more intentional plan for my content and especially the shares moving forward #SocialCafe
@socialcafechat A1: Wow . . . I hadn't even considered using keywords in Twitter. I definitely need to invest more time and learning into keywords! #socialcafe
@conpsweeney Yeah, I dare say there is such a thing as thinking too much and I may have hit it this week! With that, I'm thinking of sparing #SocialCafe any further....
@conpsweeney And, like I said last week (didn't realize it's been a week already!) ... I wrote an article on the investment changes when it comes to bitcoin.. interesting topic #SocialCafe
Then, again, with all the work on the dissertation this week (topic: white-collar crime).. maybe hubby doesn't want me to have any more anything (i.e. streams) of thought! #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney And, who is ... willing to share their success tips ... and who is actually sharing their success tips (1st is the willingness; 2nd is the integrity of whether that IS the tip(s)) #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney#ROFL You know it is a short list when it fits in a tweet.. even if the tweet allows 280 characters.. still a short list (I think yours fit in 140 characters) #SocialCafe
A2 The underground #buzz is to use the 3rd part promoters but, based on their clientele (which may be more focused on numbers than conversions) that is what you get (i.e. followers, but not clients) #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney That might be an interesting #SocialCafe Twitter Chat in and of itself! What is the profile (or buyer persona) of the future #Twitter Owner/Buyer? Is it someone who has everything and wants something fun?
Another way to look at Q1... If you were going to sit down and spend $$$ and use Twitter to get a message out to obtain a goal (say, leads), where is the best place to spend money? Do you tweet and then pay a third party to promote the tweet? Or Twitter Promotions? #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney When I read the article (correction... skimmed) I was thinking that there has to be better ways.. Better #ROI What do you think, Con? #SocialCafe
@socialcafechat Subtle difference between the two... Nah, it isn't worth the brain teaser... basically Twitter Monetization is Monetizing with Twitter... #sameThing#SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialcafechat I read that as "more business than ever" and I was going to ask what your secret was on that... But, yes, I can relate on the busier than ever and that could be more business than ever, too! #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe My husband does not always see the silver lining (like . . . total opposite) so I'm used to it. But even a little light makes a big difference ;) #socialcafe
All of this optimism does remind me (and not sure why I didn't think of tweeting this previously in #SocialCafe ) .. If you want to be featured as a famous blogger, fill out this form (absolutely free...) >> http://socialwebcafe.com/featured/
@socialwebcafe You know what they say, give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters with an infinite amount of time & one of them is bound to write #Shakespeare ! #socialcafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe That made me snort :) I have been told that I shoot rainbows out of my website - so just a little on the optimist spectrum ;) #socialcafe
@Kathrynclang Ok, @Kathrynclang - you need to make a poster out of that one :) I'll retweet it. That is a great way to describe it and encourage people #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe The tried and true - create lasting relationships and be relentlessly helpful - wrapped up in the unique you! That's what will make the way in 2018! #socialcafe
@socialwebcafe The only way to get there is to embrace it - and to embrace it in your own unique way. Key for 2018 - you can't do it like they did #socialcafe
@conpsweeney Con - please tell me you are not reading my mind... Either I write an awful lot of articles or you are psychic.. I just wrote about cryptocurrency a few nights ago #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe I think we will shift back to traditional marketing, sales, and business basics - and stop relying on gimmicks and flashy signs #socialcafe
@Kathrynclang Oooh.. That almost makes me feel excited, like what is behind door #2? Like, maybe there is something really cool out there. But, do you think we should fear it or embrace it? #SocialCafe
Weren't we talking last week about how whatever worked even five years ago, in making money online, doesn't work anymore.. Like @Kathrynclang says, with things changing... #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe I think THEY know the answer - but they forget that the answer is ever shifting and the next best thing can change it all! #socialcafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney Oh so true! I just wrote an article last night.. Someone wanted one on "alcoholism and self-care" and I got to thinking about how easy it is for people to accuse people of things like being an alcoholic because of the ease of use of #SocialMedia#SocialCafe
@conpsweeney I wonder, if as a part of that, we see more rogue software with advertising hacks (no offense to the developers or the software ... a better word would be alternative ) #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney It's a crazy world - only made crazier through the ease and availability of social media :( #socialcafe - the best we can do is try to add positive from our side.
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney So, a person can make someone cry or hurt them (i.e. #cyberbullying ) but don't make any money feeding your family... #SocialCafe (and then allow those who have to pick on those who have not... continuing the #bully cycle)
Related to what @Kathrynclang said about audio and video, I think we will see more Wordpress plugins and more affordable rates (or medium level) #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang That's a good one, too, Kathryn. It is like, YouTube has been done.. Podcasts have been done... but that seems to mean we get hungrier for audio and video #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney I agree. Unless someone has unlimited funds (or a desire for unlimited power), is there a need for another one? re: #socialMedia platform/network #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang The idea of censorship is an interesting one.. I'm curious who decides on it and how far? I mean, we allow #fakenews and #cyberbullying but there could be #censorship in other areas? I wonder where the line is.. #SocialCafe
@MAGAGunslinger@PMgeezer Apparently, Twitter wants to destroy itself with its censorship. Coming Dec. 18, 2017. HELLO gab.ai ... #SocialCafe next to be created?
Seriously, though, anyone can answer this question, so we will add our "Q" to the tweet to open it up if someone else wants to add their wisdom #SocialCafe
Shhh... Con doesn't know this yet, but I think we should put him on the spot tonight during #SocialCafe | Why? ...because he is one of the smartest, wisest guys out there!
@conpsweeney Thank you for the thank you, Con :) It has been my intention, for how many weeks (years)? Hey, what is intention without action..? #LinkedInChat#SocialCafe
