			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Fresh, relevant content on your website can increase your search engine rankings, giving your site greater exposure. Your acceptance by the wider community as an “expert” increases your company’s credibility and can lead to better conversion into sales. With Social Networking becoming more and more important, interacting effectively with your current and potential customers in a way that makes sense to them is vital.</p>
<p>Minky has a <a href="http://twitter.com/aboveparrminky">Twitter </a>account &#8211; though he hasn&#8217;t really used it yet and only has a couple of people following him so far&#8230;</p>
<p>What he DOESN&#8217;T have though is the time (or the imagination) to compose interesting, meaningful content that won&#8217;t just be seen as spam. He&#8217;s also pretty rubbish at spelling&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-218 alignnone" title="Minky at the Laptop" src="http://www.aboveparr.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/P140509_12.05.jpg" alt="Looking for Inspiration" width="502" height="377" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve suggested to him that he could set aside some time to decide what sort of thing he wants to blog about, then leave us to draft him some posts. That way he can have a stock ready for if he gets writer&#8217;s block, or he can compose something else and leave them for another time. We can also update his twitter page for him, to let his followers know what he&#8217;s up to&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s how we do our blog &#8211; because Sara has flashes of creative inspiration some days, but not every day.</p>
<p>If  you would like to know more about how to create a set of stock blog posts then please email <a title="Email Minky" href="http://www.aboveparr.co.uk/meet-minky/email-minky/" target="_blank">Minky</a> (or <a title="Email Us" href="http://www.aboveparr.co.uk/contact-us/email-us/" target="_blank">Sara </a>- if you don&#8217;t want to talk to the Monkey&#8230;)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>As Adam and the Ants once said! (Sorry if anyone under the age of 35 hasn&#8217;t even heard of them)</p>
<p>Been having great fun this morning trying to connect people on Facebook, but I think we&#8217;re all sorted now&#8230;</p>
<p>This particular exercise was social but it has got me wondering just how much use all this social networking is for business???</p>
<p>I have a <a href="http://www.twitter.com/aboveparr">Twitter </a>page, a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/profile.php?id=599259210&amp;ref=nf">Facebook </a>profile, an <a href="http://www.ecademy.com/account.php?id=368976">Ecademy </a>profile and post to umpteen forums on all sorts of topics. I quite enjoy it and find it useful for GETTING information, but just how useful is it for GIVING information??? Is anyone really interested in what I had for lunch??? Or am I just old???</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to spend hours on social networking (ask any teenager!) but is it a productive use of business hours??? I&#8217;m trying it out &#8211; partly because I actually have time at the moment while recovering from my op. I&#8217;ll let you know how I get on&#8230;</p>
