Exciting times

Exciting times for Lyn's Biz. At Lyn's Biz, I run a portfolio of home based businesses and am growing teams of lovely people who want to work from home. Not only that but I also run Wightbuzz a very affordable networking group for those running small businesses on the Isle of Wight (and beyond - see Bizzness Buzz ) This week there has been lots of interaction between members and more members have joined. We now have nearly 70 members. 

All branches of Lyn's Biz have been busy. Sales have been made from Lyn's Barefoot Books , Lyn Blackledge Independent Phoenix trader, Lyn's Primary Stars, Lyn's Green Biz and I am delighted to say that via Savvy Savings I have helped 4 new customers reduce their outgoings on essential bills and in so doing I also promoted to Team Leader. that can't be bad. Getting paid for helping people save money and then getting promoted as well. Why not join me?

This week I will be out and about with Lyn's Biz but will also be coordinating the Macmillan Support Mega Fundraise  I wonder what this week will hold? 

The power of Twitter!

It took me a long time to understand Twitter! Why would anyone want to know why Johnny was at the bus stop eating a jam sandwich? I just didn't get it! But am I glad I do now. Wow ! I have been building up my contacts and really getting my head round how powerful it is. Then Imagine my great delight when @purpledognet made me #purplebiz business of the day last Tuesday. What a good job I was planning to spend most of the day at home. The tweets came in constantly - fast and furious. I had more than an extra 100 followers by the end of the day and many more in the week following. Most of these are good quality connections. I have already had some very useful phone conversations for business exchange with some of those new followers. I am excited about moving those opportunities forward. I am soooooo glad I got my head round twitter and would urge others who are in business to start using it. It would be very silly not to :)
