As of tonight I have finally taken the jump and started using Twiter on a regular basis to see if it really can help me increase the traffic to my blog.

I hope to see some of you over there!

I can still vividly remember when fax machines were first brought out onto the market. They claimed they would be the much needed item that evey company could not be without, and for about ten years they were bang on the money.

What shocked me was when I found out that even though you can now send a fax over the internet there are a lot of companies that still rely on their old fax machines to help them send faxes.

I found this when I working at Informa for three months, we would send faxes through the internet to people all over the world and they would then have to use their old fax machines to send a reply.

I’m not sure how long faxes will be around for as email seems to have taken over as a more speedy resolution.

I’ve never pretended to understand how it works. I remember once asking why the paper was still in the tray…

If you want your business or product to sell then you need to create a buzz about it and one of the best ways that I can think of is to hire yourself a PR (public relations) company who will be able to create campaigns to help promote your product/business.

In fact in the past I have used a couple of San Diego public relations firms and I am very glad that I have as the results have been fantastic.

I remember when I was writing regular wrestling articles and I contacted a PR firm and they helped me put out a buzz amongst wrestling fans and I even got some writing gigs out of it as well.

So you see it does not matter if you are trying to get people to know about a new magazine, a web site, a message board, a training guide to making money or even a new invention you have just come up with, PR firms can help you.
