I’m in Episode #63 sharing Twitter tips, community building, my life as the leader of GoGirlsMusic and so much more.Click here to listen. Listen in as Ross shares with us his best Twitter tips and talks about the power of personalizing and organizing your Twitter lists. He also shares how a little bit of creativity can build your Twitter presence and increase interaction. Episode Highlights: Ross used to have a business-oriented approach in using Twitter and then realized the importance of being personal. Showing more of yourself gives a more rewarding experience. Use your own photo on your profile instead of a logo to show people that you’re real and to show a bit more of your personality. This equates to more interaction, more retweets, and more favorites. Really good conversations. Keep your feed organized by using Twitter lists. It’s simply a curated group of accounts. Viewing a list will show you a stream of tweets only from the accounts on a list. You can set them up to be either public or private. They can help you monitor your competitors, connect with industry leaders, engage with employees, stay on top of trends and so much more.Click here to learn how to use lists. Tip: Be creative in naming your lists to make it more interesting and to grab people’s attention. Example: I have a list called “Social Media Smarties” rather than “Social Media.” Tip: List names cannot exceed 25 characters and they cannot begin with a number. Tip: To remove yourself from a list, you will need to block the creator of the list. Ross recommends using the Buffer Chrome extension. You’ll love it because it’s so easy to share links, pictures and video from anywhere on the web. Tweetables: “Do not be afraid to be personal and social on Twitter because it is called social media.” “People buy from people.” “It’s not a one-way street. You can’t expect everyone to contact you. You have to be proactive and tweet them.” “I like to keep my feed organized by using lists.” “I use public lists to organize people I follow into different categories or subjects. It helps me keep things focused and organized.

This interview was wrought with issues from the start. Ross and I had a really good chat and then the batter died on my trusty H6. Luckily I had a spare with me, but the recording was corrupted, so we had to start again.Which we did! And all was well! There's quite a bit more ambient background chatter than I thought, but you can still hear us and that's what matters.This week's guest is Ross Barber-Smith from Bridge the Atlantic. He was one of the very first people who actually liked this podcast when it began back in May/June last year and he's stuck with the show ever since. It's also cool because he's Scottish and has a very awesome podcast of his own, which I urge you to check out.My interview with Ross is slightly different than what I usually do on here. We talk a lot more about podcasting because, quite frankly, I love talking to other podcasters and there aren't that many of us that do the creativity thing the way that we do.We get a bit technical but it's not too heavy, so I think it makes for a really interesting listen. We also talk a bit about podcasting burnout. Which I plan to cover extensively later on in a blog post.Ross' own story of how he got involved in music and everything that happened in his life which led him to Bridge the Atlantic is fascinating, but for me the best thing about this chat is how goddamn inspiring it is. He's done a lot, made a bunch of friends all over the world all down excellent social media management, having a podcast and just generally being one of the nicest guys on the planet.I hope you enjoy this interview.

If you want to succeed in business, ask yourself the 6 questions below and make sure you can answer "NO!" to all of them. You're welcome in advance, from The Nice Guys         1. ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST? Don't look back, you are not going that way.  Action item: Set 3 short term goals that you will accomplish in the next 30 days.         2. ARE YOU STRETCHED TOO THIN? Life is a buffet, take from it what you need and leave the rest.  Action item: List 3 items on your schedule right now that you can eliminate.         3. ARE YOU NOT SMART ENOUGH TO SUCCEED? Success has relatively little to do with following the traditional rules and plenty to do with your creativity and positive mindset. Action item: Find an item within arms reach right now and use it in a way that it would not traditionally be used.         4. ARE YOUR IDEAS NOT UNIQUE? Throw away the concept that says you are not unique enough or special enough to be successful. Don't focus on having an idea that's one in a million.  Action item: Write down just one idea that you would start working on if you had an unlimited budget and it was guaranteed not to fail.   5. ARE YOU THINKING IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU? Walt Disney was in his fifties when his idea for Disneyland became a reality. Mick Jagger is still rockin' and he is well into his AARP years. It is never too late. Action item: If you had to offer professional advice to someone twenty years younger than you, what would that advice be? Offer yourself that same advice. Are you following it?   6. ARE YOU CARRYING TOO MUCH BAGGAGE? It's not the cards that life deals you, it's how you play those cards. A positive attitude and the right mindset will absolutely carry you to a better place.  Action item: Write yourself a permission slip that begins with the sentence. “I am allowed to forgive myself and others for (fill in the blank).”   Once you ask yourself the six questions above, take a moment and think about the answers you have given. Stop letting the questions and the answers hold you back. Work on understanding the answers you have given. Discovering the answers is a great beginning and will help you move towards a life that you have always wanted to live; An AWESOME one.   Please visit our sponsor www.mentormojo.com, you'll be glad you did.   Subscribe to the Podcast Dubai, where are you?
