Rescue Time With One Simple Change

This simple tip might just be my all-time favorite when it comes to rescuing time in social media.

It's about Facebook.

More specifically, it's about Facebook notification emails.

Even more specifically, it's about how to turn them OFF.

Most people I work with are already flooded with emails for business, from clients, friends, subscriptions, and countless others. The dozens of notifications for every little thing that happens on your Facebook profile can get, well, just annoying. Not to mention those notifications can bury the important emails under the flood, making them easy to miss.

Fortunately, it's an easy fix.

Just go to the top right corner of your page to "Account."

Then "Account Settings."

Then click the 3rd tab from the left, "Notifications."

There you'll find a loooong list of things that Facebook automatically sends you an email notification about.

To the left of each item is the option to check whether or not you want to receive that email notification - simply uncheck it and the notifications will stop.

I've found that the only email notifications I want are the weekly birthday reminders (because I do like to say celebrate and wish people Happy Birthday!) and the weekly Pages admin updates (so I can keep up with the growth of my Page and my clients' Pages.) All the other dozens of notifications? Well, I can find them when I actually get on Facebook,

And don't forget to hit "Save Changes" on the bottom of the page!!

Then, instead of being besieged by a flood of emails all day long, you can simply check in on your Facebook profile once a day for a few minutes to see posts, messages, new friends, birthday reminders, and the like!

Simple, easy change = less cluttered email inbox and more time for your genius work!

Video creation and Video creation submission has evolved into its own social media. For the past few years the popularity of of on line videos has risen drastically. For example the big player YouTube has has over 150,000 new videos submitted to their video directory every day. Also, 50,000 videos are watched daily on YouTube. So you would think you your video on YouTube would never be watched with those statistics but that statement is not necessarily true. and I would like to show you a few tips in my article today that will help you get your video watched on YouTube and other video directories such as Blim.tv, Howcast, Photobucket, Veoh, Vsocial, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Revver, Viddler, Yahoo Video, Facebook, Myspace Videos, Sclipo, and Vimeo.

Step # 1 Keep your video short and too the point.

As a rule of thumb, create videos that are 2 to 3 minutes in length. Many of the video sites such as myspace won't accept any videos over 2 minutes in length. If you have a message that you want to get out that is longer then 3 minutes then We suggest you create a series of short videos , say part #1 , part # 2 etc.

Step # 2 Writing a good keyword rich tittle is very important.

Goggle loves video streams but you need to tell Google what your video is about in your video tittle. You want to include your main idea keyword or keyword phrase as your very first words of your tittle. You then need to ad a secondary keyword somewhere in the tittle before the end. For example I created a video from one of my articles using a specialized software using the following tittle. "Fishing Rig: Tips on How to Make Slip Sinker Rigs Details Here!" Notice that my main keyword phrase "fishing rig" is listed first, and my secondary keyword phrase "slip sinker rigs" is listed later. When you create your video description make sure you include these same keywords or keyword phrases some where in your description. You will get more people to watch your video using this method.

Step # 3 Writing a good keyword rich description is very important.

Here again Google loves video but you need to direct them to the right place. You need to write your video description with keywords and keyword phrases that are included in your video. Also you need to include the main and secondary keyword or keyword phases you used in your tittle when writing your description.

Step # 4 Do not overlook the video tags when you submit to video directories!

When you submit your video to video directories such as YouTube Blim.tv, Howcast, Photobucket, Veoh, Vsocial, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Revver, Viddler, Yahoo Video, Facebook, Myspace Videos, Sclipo, and Vimeo. Make sure you list your main keyword and your secondary keyword you listed in the tittle and the description of your video. Also include at least 5 to 7 more keyword phrases that are used in your video with these tags. The reason the video tags are so import is because when people search for specific videos in the video directories these tags are used.

Well folks, we sincerely hope the information in our article about submitting videos to video directories will help you to submit your own videos.
