Sirenetta Leoni Inside Voiceover—Information + Insights On Voice Acting

The "take 10 second to think before you post" is a brilliant rule we should all follow as well as it's corollary: "Don't post anything you wouldn't want your grandmother, clients or employees to read and associate with you." Just remember, when it comes to the internet, once you put it out there, it may be out there forever...

INC: "I really want to tell you about my lingerie ... but I'm not going to.

It's true that I've found a certain line of women's underwear that I'm so excited about that, at times, I'm inclined to want to tweet and Facebook about them. But clearly, I don't—because I impose upon myself the common sense "10 second rule."

As a business owner as well as an individual who values some boundaries on her privacy, I take 10 seconds to ask myself, Do I really want the whole world to know this about me? Because in all the haste to seem social media savvy, I've seen a lot of smart people do, say and post a lot of things they may come to regret later..."

Very good explanation of some Twitter basics for those of you who are just starting out on Twitter, with some valuable tips/ideas for seasoned Twitter users, too.

Podjam.tv: "For those new on Twitter you might wonder why you see people sharing a tweet with an RT at the beginning of each tweet. This is called a ReTweet. Re Tweeting started around 2008 when someone saw a tweet and wanted to share it but also wanted to be able to give credit to the person who shared it first."

More Twitter "how to's" for those of you who are learning to use Twitter for your voiceover marketing. All of us have been guily of hashtag abuse at some point. I know I have. Best rule, try to highlight what you think are actual searchable terms in your tweet, or the parts that are truly relevant. For example, I'd tag the headline of this article as follows: More #Twitter_Basics To Know For Your #Voiceover_Marketing...The do’s and don’ts of #Twitter_hashtags, because people searching for #Twitter_Basics, #Voiceover_Marketing or #Twitter_hashtags, could find this article to be of help to them. In other words, don't tag it #Justin_Bieber, when it has nothing to do with the him, just to draw Twitter traffic to your site.
