Arielle Ford: Authors: Where to Focus Your Social Media Efforts

Arielle Ford: Authors: Where to Focus Your Social Media Efforts:


"Top 3 things all authors should be doing

1. Engage in traditional, real-world events such as speaking engagements and workshops coordinated with online events such as tele-seminars and webinars

2. Produce an online video or live web feed promoting all of your events

3. Participate consistently (daily!) with your online community through Facebook and Twitter. The recommended frequency is 1 to 2 times a day on Facebook (not including the all-important responses to comments). For Twitter, a combination of content, replies, and recommendation tweets 5 to 30 times per day, much of which can be automated."

Forrester: If You Think Social Media Marketing is Worthless, You're Doing it Wrong

Forrester: If You Think Social Media Marketing is Worthless, You're Doing it Wrong: "

Has your company spent seemingly countless hours tweeting on Twitter, networking on Facebook and writing the company blog? Have you found yourself wondering if it's all a waste of time? Maybe that last Facebook fan page contest saw fewer entries than you'd hoped for, or that last Twitter-only coupon had fewer redemptions than you'd expected, but perhaps that's not all that matters.

According to the the latest report by analyst firm Forrester, many people are looking at the face-value dollars and cents of social media marketing and, put simply, they're doing it wrong. Beyond clicks and coupon redemptions there lies a case for social media marketing that shows its value is well beyond what we see on the surface."

 How to use social media to unlock true fan marketing | VentureBeat


Social media and the decline of traditional media have changed the marketing discipline forever. Broadcasting marketing messages to a vast population who may or may not care is a formula for failure – so it’s more important than ever to tailor your outreach and messages to connect to people who do care.
Tailoring your marketing to be interesting and relevant to the people who receive it both increases its effectiveness and builds relationships with customers, prospects and contacts. It’s not an easy task, but it can be made easier by utilizing social media to identify, listen to and connect with the true fans of your company, your peers or competitors – and even your industry as a whole.

Martial Arts Shaolin style Seattle Kung Fu Club - Ch'i Life

All Martial Arts of this world were created under the sun of Shaolin. Shaolin Kung Fu is as vast and complex as the universe.

Kung Fu offers physical exercise for health, discipline and blending of body, mind and spirit. With regular practice, the student achieves confidence, patience, endurance, self-control and self-awareness. The longer it is practiced, the greater the benefits.

Two styles of Kung Fu, Hung Gar Kuen and Tai Chi Chuan, are offered at the Seattle Kung Fu Club. Both styles are available to men, women and children of all ages. Students are taught individually.


The Shaolin International Federation was set up to meet the enormous demand from all parts of the world. It was founded in the early 90's by Du Baihong (aka Shi Yan Bo, Asian & American department) and Joost Warsanis (aka Shi Yan Yu, European department). The main goal of the Shaolin International Federation is spreading the Chinese Martial Arts and culture around the world.

The Seattle Kung Fu Club was started in 1963 by  Sifu John S.S. Leong

Sifu John S.S. Leong, originally from Kwantung Province China, began his kung-fu training at the age of 12. Sifu Leong later went to Hong Kong and studied Hung Gar Kung-Fu under the late Master Wong Lee. In 1963, Sifu Leong began teaching in Seattle and established the Seattle Kung-Fu Club where he continues to pass on the tradition of Hung-Gar Kung-Fu.

The Seattle Kung Fu Club is part of the Ch'i Life Group founded by Mr. Leong's son,  Robin Leong.
