The Moxie Maven will disclose some important questions that you should be asking yourself about your business and social media.  Once you determine it is right for you how do you know where to be?  There are so many social media sites and which ones are the right ones for your business, The Moxie Maven will give you the key and even in its simplicity it is the perfect answer for your business.

I am reminded of a book that my children love, “Sometimes it is not easy being big.”  It is the story of how Big Bird from Sesame Street has problems being too big to do things and Elmo has problems being too small.  We can always be too ’something’ and let that hold us back from shining and just who we were meant to be.

This is just a simple reminder that being unique is what will set you apart and that you are already unique, so you don’t need much more than that!

Just having a Privacy Policy on your blog is not enough to cover you for all your social media endeavors.  There are a few simple tricks to make sure that you stay compliant whether you are posting on your blog or on your favorite social media site.

Remember, how small you are doesn’t matter, the fines are still the same!

As you explore the Privacy Policies of the social media sites that you frequent take a real gander at where you data can end up.  Then translate this to how you want to handle the data of the readers you have on your blog.

Facebook recently experienced this when they tried to change their Terms of Service.  This broadcast is all about the TOS on social media sites.  There are two sites used for this show, Facebook and Twitter.  As we walk through what both sites say on their Terms you will quickly see why you really don’t want to ignore the TOS, but rather be well informed about what you are agreeing to!

These new guidelines are no secret and yet no matter where you look there is differing opinions on what it really means.  The Moxie Maven is going to walk you through what the new guidelines mean to those that are blogging and using social media sites to promote their products or services.

Tune in and learn the facts and the few simple things you need to do in order to be compliant with the new FTC guidelines!

If you thought the FTC guidelines have nothing to do with you, listen to The Moxie Maven’s podcast and you may very well change your mind.

You will find the three biggest changes in the FTC guidelines, with examples of each that will illustrate what you need to be doing in order to stay compliant.

Branding is all about making a clear statement about who you are and what you do. During the creative process of designing a brand there can be tremendous euphoria as you discover authentic and powerful ways to get your message across. This process is all about you and your business, and in general does not include “the other guy.”

When you are branding “the other guy” really is important, especially if you step on his brand. Yes, there are legal consequences of doing that, but really what can you do to avoid it all together.

Listen in this week as The Moxie Maven gives you some guidance on how to avoid a few branding potholes.
