Wow What a Month.
Discover the region.com started off with our Birthday Bash, celebrating our first Birthday with many more to come. We have spent numerous hours on upgrading the DTR.com business directory listing. The new upgrades to the Global listing includes; being able to include 10 keywords, 2000 word Meta tags, 10 Meta tag words, the ability to attach your directory listing to any of the social media outlets (i.e. FaceBook, Linkedin, and Twitter). What does this mean to you? Increased branding exposure, Free SEO ( search engine optimization), social networking recognition, promotion and publicity for your business as your climate changes. Local, as well as national branding. A “Business Directory” that puts you in the driver seat to update, spotlight & promote.
This month I have also created word press blog pages that increase SEO and allows Discover the Region to maximize the internet to showcase, DTR clients, DTR resources for City and Local reference, & Discover the Region Publications in Dayton, Northeast Ohio & The West Valley –Phoenix.
I took the plunge and spent the day taking a class on social media sites. It was well worth my time and money.
Twitter facts: May 2009
Twitter had 24 million people visit (US)
60% are College educated or higher
79% make 30K or more
I have found tricks that make participating on the internet more time efficient. I will share the best one for me. Tweetlater.com allows you to spend an hour entering your tweet thoughts and schedule them for a number of days. You then have information going out consistently which builds your following. There are other tools you can use to accomplish scheduled tweets. This one is FREE.
Finally, I have spent time with entrepreneurs….. Providing counsel on the organization and creative steps necessary to transform their dreams into successful business realities. Entrepreneurs still have to put in the work, but with guidance from someone who has worked through these issues, missteps can be minimized and progress in the right direction increased.
I take a deep breath and reflect how grateful I am to be right here, right now. I can’t wait to see what is in store for this month.

Do I Mean What I Say?
Do I say what I mean? Do I mean what I say?This month at my ABWA luncheon our business introductions were switched up. We were paired up and the goal was to introduce the other persons business, promote their unique attributes and possibly come up with a tag line. We spent 15 minutes with another member answering 5 questions. It is a wonderful learning exercise. Checking in and making sure what you are trying to convey about your business is actually coming across.My partner was ReNay Mushier, owner of The Personal Touch Massage. I thought I would share what ReNay shared about DiscoverTheRegion.com. I loved what ReNay put together for me.I'd like to introduce Jodie Wilson.She offers Resource information & Directory Ad Space at DiscoverTheRegion.com
