I cannot tell you how many times I am asked how I know tweeting all day is working for me and Addoway. Let me start by telling you that over 90% of our sellers came to us because they found us on Twitter. This is huge and it's one of the main reasons we are experiencing this growth. Listen on and let me know what you think.

This is a new trend for Addoway - video blogging - let us know what you think!

With the most recent news on Facebook and how it is going to be getting even more social across the web, articles are popping up everywhere on even more concerns of privacy violations.

Addoway just returned from the Ecommerce Merchant Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada last week and let me just start off by saying we had a blast. We had the opportunity to meet current Addoway sellers and others who haven't yet used anything outside of eBay to sell online. There's nothing like meeting sellers face-to-face to gather their perspective on what is needed in a new online selling venue.

While we were in Las Vegas we were interviewed by Dave White from eBayandBeyond, a podcast host and ecommerce educator and consultant; Shawna Fennell a Yahoo Store and Ecommerce expert and Host of the Ecom Experts on Webmaster Radio; Phaedra Stockstill (attheboutique1) a Bonanzle Social Media Representative and podcaster; and John Lawson, also known as ColderIce voted as the #1 Savviest in Social Media in 2009.

I was listening to an informative lecture last week on the evolution of social media and how sellers can utilize this growing trend to maximize themselves and their brand online for free.

This type of interaction wasn’t talked about 2 years ago even though it existed.

Human Interaction or what I called “HI” has a ROI on your business; you just need to know what you are looking for.

Content is key ladies and gentlemen and in todays tough competitive landscape everyone is trying to rise in the ranks of Google’s elite. You are trying to get more sales, so you know you need more visits in order to get there.

How do you differentiate yourself from the competition and get more traffic?

On Addoway, you have the ability to write your own blog directly located in your profile when your buyers come visit you. Take advantage of this valuable opportunity to tell them a little about you and how you started. Talk about your expertise in your area and your passion for the product(s) you are selling. When you tell people about yourself, something incredible happens. They begin to like and trust you and these are two very important factors influencing buyer behavior.

In 2001, Cleveland brothers Zack (now 29), Rob (28), and David Price (26) were college students with no money, no connections and no plans of publishing books. A series of self-published titles, 150,000 sold books and in 2008 sales of nearly a half million dollars; the Price brothers are now ready to enter the book industry for real. On Jan. 1, 2010, just in time for New Year’s resolutions, their newly revamped company, Price World Publishing, based in Chicago, is releasing its first fully outside-authored book, Hardcore Circuit Training for Men.
