Alain de Botton, author of 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' will be joining Shell LiveWIRE for a 1hr Live Chat on Weds 24th March, 2pm-3pm.

- What are we looking for when we ask a stranger at a party: “What do you do?”
- What makes us love or hate our job?
- Is there such a thing as a work/life balance?

Work makes us. Without it we are at a loss; in work we hope to have a measure of control over our lives. Yet for many of us, work is a straitjacket from which we cannot free ourselves. Questions like what should I do with my life? and What will I have achieved when I retire? plague us.

bigstu and I will be appearing at, and running a 'live' Shell LiveWIRE elevator pitch competition at the NACUE conference on 26th-28th March. Would be great to see some of the LiveWIRE members there (details below)

Shadow Minister for Business and Enterprise Mark Prisk has prioritised the scrapping of Business Link if the Conservatives come into power. Mr Prisk told the Sunday Times that he believes regional Business Links are "failing in their task" and would like to see local enterprise agencies (like the ones listed on www.nfea.com) take a greater role in helping small firms.

Hi everyone,

If you're looking for low-cost marketing methods for your business website, I highly recommend that you make sure that your Social Network profile is as up to date as possible with company description, contact details, logo/photos, keywords) and that you start the free Blog tool that comes with it to post all your latest news, events and info about the products or services you offer.

This is because the Shell LiveWIRE Social Network is extremely well indexed by all the major search engines so anything you post on there stands a good chance of being ranked highly. For example, I posted something on my Blog on 1st Feb titled 'Starting a business in Aberdeen' about my trip up there on 24th Feb and within 5 minutes it was no.2 in the Google search results (see http://www.google.com/search?q=starting+a+business+in+Aberdeen&sourceid= ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=).

All Shell LiveWIRE members are automatically given a free Social Network profile with very basic info on (name & town/city) when they sign up which they can then login and update with description, logo/photo, contact details, classified ads and events. You can even also add friends, chat with other members online (there's a weekly Livechat every Weds between 2pm-3pm GMT), upload photos and YouTube videos and use the aforementioned blog too.

URLs for Social Network profiles take the form of www.shell-livewire.org/network +/username so for example mine is www.shell-livewire.org/network/lordlancaster

Hope you find this useful and if you've got any questions just ask. 

Cheers

Why upscaling servers makes sense ? -These days, a secure server with regular backups is crucial for any new or existing business. Unfortunately, because many young entrepreneurs start out running a business from home in their spare time, they often just use a basic PC / laptop setup with no backup facility or even ant-virus software.You may think that this is sufficient, but what happens if your machine crashes, develops a malicious virus or is stolen? This could mean the end of your business or at the very least cause major delays (and lost money) in your business output.

Sadly, my sister and husband (who run a children's nursery) had their office PC infected with a Trojan virus last week (w/c 18th Jan 2010) which meant that they couldn't even log in to Windows to open any of their files or documents. This happened despite them paying for BT Business security and having anti-virus software on their machine. I don't know exactly what sort of IT setup they had in the nursery, but it turns out that they didn't have their data backed up anywhere else. Big mistake.

[The email containing the virus was one supposed to be from a DHL manager saying a parcel has not been delivered. If you receive it DON’T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT! – it’s a Trojan virus which my sister opened which has caused major problems (see above)...]

With hindsight it's easy to say that they should have done, but I know what a horrible feeling it is and how utterly helpless you feel if/when you get a virus on your machine. This happened to me once before on an old PC at home when my anti-virus software lapsed which meant I lost everything. I did manage to fix the PC but it was never quite the same again, so now I will never go without up-to-date anti-virus software. Don't let this happen to you.

Here in the Shell LiveWIRE office we are lucky to have an excellent IT Team to back everything up every night / deal with any issues courtesy of our parent organisation the PNE Group (www.pne.org). We also have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise anti-virus software installed on all our machines.

Meanwhile, on my personal laptop (which I sometimes take with me on business trips) I pay an annual subscription to have Norton Internet Security 2010 installed, whilst on our home PC which just gets used for the odd photo processing / internet browsing we have the ever popular (free) AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0 installed. The AVG anti-virus is sufficient for general / personal use but if you're running a business I would highly recommend paying for professional anti-virus and having the necessary secure backups to protect your work.

Always seek professional help with your business IT and find someone who can explain why upscaling servers makes sense. A good place to start is here on the Shell LiveWIRE Social Network where you can put a call out for help or advice from other Shell LiveWIRE members from around the world. Alternatively, if you're based in the UK, there are lots of IT bods and experts hanging out on the Shell LiveWIRE UK Discussion Forum. In particular try contacting some of the people offering advice in the following thread: http://www.shell-livewire.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24047

Dragons' Den



Entrepreneurs from across the country once again have a chance to make their business dreams come true by appearing on Dragons’ Den. If you’re genuinely seeking investment for your business idea or invention, the BBC would like to hear from you.

Dragons’ Den is a challenging place to pitch, but it’s also a genuine business opportunity to secure investment. In the most recent series, 15 entrepreneurs accepted offers of investment in the Den and plenty more have gone on to find success even without the backing of the Dragons.

In fact, over the previous seven series the Dragons have pledged to invest over 8 million pounds in a wide variety of business ideas and have personally changed the lives of over 70 entrepreneurs. Statistics show that investment opportunity has doubled since the programme began - if you appeared in the den in the last series you had more than a one in five chance of investment.

January Tax Tips from Lucy Cohen (Mazuma)

HMRC Tax Widget - this handy tool in the Shell LiveWIRE Business Library provides written and video guides for small businesses to get their tax right

Way back in September 2009, I downloaded a handy guide from MoneySavingExpert.com called 'Boost Your Income: Over 50 ways to bring in extra cash' which I had a brief scan through but have been meaning to look at properly ever since (see www.moneysavingexpert.com/protect/make-money).

Anyway, I finally had a proper read last night and there was a bit about making cash from unwanted CDs, DVDs and games by using a site called Music Magpie (www.musicmagpie.com) which basically lets you type in the barcode number of the item and then it makes you an instant cash offer. You then submit your order and it will send you a FREEPOST label to stick on a box or parcel.

My wife and I started de-cluttering our house last year in readiness for the arrival of our baby boy Jake and I spent a few cold mornings selling some stuff at the local car boot sale, but no-one seemed to want our CDs. Rather than chuck them out, I decided to give Music Magpie a go and am glad I did because it was so easy to use, and we now have a cheque of £35 heading our way in return for a load of old/unwanted CDs and a handful of DVDs.

You need to input a minimum of 5 CDs, DVDs or games up to a maximum of 500, and you don't get much money with prices ranging from 30p per CD up to £3 for a rare / double CD and more for DVDs and games, but it's better than chucking them in the bin and we got a couple of quid for some of them.

Following my earlier post about the Land of Lost Content, Mr Wayne Hemingway has just sent me details of a fantastic new annual event celebrating the best of British culture called 'Vintage at Goodwood'. See details below;

Vintage at Goodwood is a brand new and truly unique annual event which celebrates 5 decades of British Cool. It brings together and celebrates the music, fashion, film, art, dance and design from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, that has made Britain the world’s creative and cultural hot bed. Vintage will explore this rich cultural history and the extraordinary influence that it has had on the modern world.

Vintage at Goodwood features an inspirational line up of world renowned bands, with performances by the latest contemporary acts who have been inspired by the past, as well as the living legends that have inspired them. There will be DJs, collectors from each decade as well as current artists and brands inspired by Britain's rich creative heritage. Vintage pays homage to the best of British fashion design through a line-up of catwalk shows, hands on creative experiences and the very best purveyors of vintage clothing .The event will explore the musical, design and cultural lineages and offer a glimpse of where we go from here.

Vintage is the brainchild of designers Gerardine Hemingway MBE and Wayne Hemingway MBE of Red or Dead fame in partnership with Lord March, mastermind behind the internationally acclaimed Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival.

All aspects of Vintage at Goodwood are curated by a team containing the most experienced, knowledgeable and respected figures within the music, design, film, fashion and entertainment industries. The Vintage curatorial team will bring an unparalleled authenticity and an attention to detail to the Vintage experience.

In the spirit of the fondly remembered and design led, 1951 Festival of Britain, Vintage is a celebration of where we have come from, and where our creative culture is taking us. Vintage is a new ‘Festival of Britain’. The Rock n’ Roll stage may feel like your stepping into a 1950s club, where Rock n’ Roll had its roots, but as well as authentic rockabillys expect to see how the spirit of “52 is embodied in contemporary rock and punk bands. Catwalk shows may feature stunning 40s suits but will also show how the cut, the fabrics, the hair and make-up have influenced collections up to the present day. From Vintage’s 1940s Torch Club, to the 80s “abandoned” Warehouse, and to our “Inspired By...” main stage, Vintage will celebrate our creative past, present and future, in style.

Vintage at Goodwood will inspire you to stay glamorous. If you buy a suit from the world’s biggest Vintage Clothes market, there will be a tailor on our high street to make it “just so”. If you spill down your frock, visit the Vintage Launderette. If you want your hair done in readiness for a great night out in our one of our five on-site clubs, then visit one of the numerous hair salons and pick a style that suits your mood - it’s all part of the fun.

Nestled into a secluded valley, within the famous Goodwood estate in Sussex, Vintage will offer "posh woodland camping that really is posh" for those who want to spend a summer weekend immersed in the very best of British culture. Vintage at Goodwood will be the British holiday of choice for the culturally aware. Come and take a peek through a window to tomorrow, via the past .Experience Vintage at Goodwood on August 13, 14 and 15, 2010. From architecture to fashion, from design to music - the five decades of cool will always offer plenty of sharp clues as to future trends. www.vintageatgoodwood.com

"The story begins with the past, continues with the present, and ends with a preview of the continuing future.” (Festival of Britain Brochure 1951)

On Friday 27th November 2009, I attended the PNE Group annual lecture with Charles Bean, Deputy Governor of The Bank of England titled 'Is the great recession over?' and here's what he said...

Firstly, he started by giving a bit of background about the causes of the recession. Much of it you will already know from watching the news or reading the paper but it was interesting to hear it from someone in the 'eye of the storm' as it were.

These include;

1. Previous record of great stability leading to complacency and relaxed attitude to investment risk.

2. Low interest rates. The US Federal Reserve kept interest rate low meaning it was much easier to access funds and cheaper to borrow.

3. Savings and investments from around the world, particularly Asia / China encouraged investors to put into riskier investments.

4. Failings in international financial markets such as securitisation, sub-prime mortgages, credit default swaps which in principle looked like would work and make the world economy more robust. However, loans sold through securitisation were still held within the banking system as a way to get around legislation. Fine in principle if just one bank doing this but they were all at it and so merely offloading the bad debts to each other.

5. Some of these new 'products' were very complex and so difficult to value - the natural reaction of investors is therefore to shun them, making them harder to move out of the banking system.

6. Distorted incentives leading to the selling of sub-prime mortgages to people with no means of paying them back.

7. City trader bonuses paid on short term results which inevitably lead to people taking more risks.

8. Belief that the public sector / Government would step in and rescue the banks (which they did)!

But why was there such a drastic impact on the World economy? All the above factors coincided with a fall in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) across the globe by 5% in 2007, followed by extreme caution. in September/October 2008 which led to the global recession.

Basically, he thinks that the current economic downturn is not yet over. The deficit for 2010 will be between 10-12% GDP and we are therefore going to see a negative impact on the Public Sector (cuts in spending / possible job losses / pay freezes).

'Quantitative Easing' (putting more money into our economy to boost spending by buying assets from private sector institutions or UK government bonds aka 'gilts') seems to be having a positive effect. (See http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monet...e-pamphlet.pdf).

There are signs that the UK and World economy seem to be improving. Charles mentioned that the UK Office for National Statistics had recently showed contraction in the UK economy of 0-3% but said that other indicators and data suggested that it was much healthier which makes it much harder to know for certain. Economy seems to be bumping along the bottom. Either way, the likelihood for 2010 is that the recovery will be slower and more drawn out for this major recession than a 'normal' one.

The depreciation of Sterling should encourage more UK exports (which is a good thing is that's your line of business), but will lead to an increase in export costs.

Overall, there are good signs for the UK economy as a whole, and the Bank of England's November 'Inflation Report' said that we should expect a growth rate in the economy of 2% in 2010, and 4% in 2011. At the time of the lecture in November, press commentary on the report had implied that it was overly optimistic, however Charles Bean said that 4% growth rate is still below pre-downturn economy.

He rounded up by saying that there was still a long way to go, and that we should expect a long and protracted recovery from the deepest recession since the warm although we were in a better position than some would have us believe.

Finally, he closed by saying that "Entrepreneurs are the best people to spot gaps in the market, help the economy and get us out of the recession, NOT politicians"!

So, take heart everyone, our future success lies with you!

Sadly, Charles Bean didn't have time to answer any of my questions but I hope that the above info is interesting / of use to some of you. A couple of questions that he did answer from the audience are below;

Question 1: Regarding the collapse of Lehmans Bros., did we not have a similar problem 10yrs ago with the collapse of Barings Bank? Have we not learned anything from that?

Answer 1: Barings was a result of the actions of a single 'Rogue Trader', rather than failings throughout the banking system. However, the collapse of Lehmans had a much greater effect on the economy as the banks were all buying and selling toxic assets from each other and therefore the failing of one impacted all the rest.

Question 2: Are all banks the same, or are some better than others? Should consumers be choosing their banks more strategically rather than merely on the customer service they provide, how nice their branches look inside or short term incentives to bring in their business?

Answer 2: Charles Bean obviously didn't want to seem to favour one bank over another so simply said that all banks have different ways to fund their activities and more expertise in certain markets than others. He recommended shopping around and going to the bank that gives you the best service as they should all be trying their hardest to win your custom and earn back your trust. He also reminder people that there is currently a de factor 100% guarantee for depositers, and advised spreading money around rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.

Saloukee - sculptured art jewellery made in paper

For years, Sarah Louise Kelly (Saloukee) had created traditional jewellery models in paper as preparation for larger works. It was at this point that she realised that she loved working with the sensitive, ephemeral nature of paper, much more than the metals which she had been traditionally trained with.

Many of the pieces include several hundred hand pressed rivets, intricate laser cutting and complex paper folding techniques. Sarah believes it's the patience and precision it takes to make them helps create works of art to be treasured.

Even if you don't win, everyone who is shortlisted for the Awards gets their elevator pitch videos hosted on the Shell LiveWIRE website for future viewing and some good PR opps out of the process.

I'm currently reading 'Marketing to the Social Web' by Larry Weber which is choc ful of great ideas and examples of how businesses and organisations are using social media to market and promote their cause, products and services. Having worked in IT / Web Development since 2001, I can say that there's never been a more exciting time be involved in digital marketing and or web development and there are so fantastic many possibilities for providing better and more useful content for your users and customers.

Having recently set up a Facebook group for Shell LiveWIRE at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=69920482358, I was interested to read the newly added chapter in Larry's 2nd edition of his book titled 'Does Facebook matter?, in which he talks about creating a 'Facebook Page' for your business or organisation which I wasn't aware could be done. This enables you to create a profile which works in much the same way as a personal profile and you can see the new Shell LiveWIRE Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shell-LiveWIRE-UK/150868873370

If you're interested in creating your own Facebook page for your business or organisation, it's free and easy to do by going to;

Hi everyone,

All registered Shell LiveWIRE members are provided with a free Social Network profile to help promote their business, products or services which they can access by logging in to www.shell-livewire.org/network using the same login details as the Discussion Forum and the main Shell LiveWIRE website.

The Social Network is a fantastic tool to not only raise awareness of yourself and your business (or idea), but to connect with other members and share ideas via personal messages, the Chat room or by creating market interest Groups or Events.

However, please note that you should only include contact details on your Social Network profile that you don't mind being made public, e.g. contact details for your business and not personal addresses. This is because all pages on the Social Network are indexed and searchable by search engines and the default setting is to make your contact details visible to all, as as way to help promote your business.

Following our recent announcement of the 29 businesses shortlisted for the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrerpeneur of the Year Award 2009, we are pleased to reveal that the following 8 have been chosen by our panel of judges to go through to the UK final taking place in London on 27th October...

Binifresh is unique in its market in that it automatically neutralizes and eliminates odours from rubbish, as well as killing bacteria on the surface of the bin. It easily attaches to the wheelie bin and always stays fixed in place, not interfering with any of the waste collection machinery. The product was accepted for sale in Lakeland in the autumn of 2009, is also listed with John Lewis and ASDA / Walmart and will be launched nationwide in all ASDA stores in early October 2009.

Gregor Mackintosh (Mackintosh of Glendaveny), Peterhead, Aberdeenshire
Mackintosh of Glendaveny produces 'Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil' from home grown rapeseed.

Robert Matthams (Shiply.com), London
Shiply.com has been likened to “eBay but for moving goods” by The Daily Telegraph, providing an online marketplace where everyday consumers and businesses list items they need to move and then receive bids in a reverse auction format from thousands of transport providers. These transport providers are all feedback rated (much like eBay) so the consumer gets a good idea of the level of service to be expected as well as a great price, saving users of our site over 3million since launch in June 2008. By making use of haulage firms spare capacity, Shiply.com helps the consumer save up to 75% on costs, the environment by keeping lorries full and reducing congestion and increases the efficiency and profits of haulier’s themselves especially important in these tough economic times and with high fuel prices.

What do a glamorous female banker, BUPA and the Environment Agency all have in common?

They all have a unique story to tell, about themselves, their organisations or the work they do. They just need to work out how to present it in the most interesting and easily digestible way for other people to take notice, and then share amongst their networks and communities.

Having just spent the day with a group of strangers that included the aforementioned glamorous female banker, a guy from BUPA, a couple from the Environment Agency, a PR/sales lady, and ladies from C S Group, SAS UK, The Bridgeman Art Library, the University of Wolverhampton on the excellent 'Viral Marketing' course with Jonathan Gabay & the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), it struck me yet again that for all the excitement surrounding digital marketing and specifically Web 2.0 technologies, they are simply the latest tools to enable humans to do what they have done for thousands of years – i.e. communicate with other like-minded (or not so like-minded people). However, the tools and medium will continue to evolve again and again over time. What’s most important is the willingness to collaborate, discuss and share your ideas and impart knowledge on others – a very human trait.

This was reinforced by a quick look around The British Library (www.bl.uk) before catching a train home to Newcastle, where I was amazed to take in the wonderful collection of ancient books which included the Lindisfarne Gospels and Magna Carta, and original items from Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, Scott of Antarctic and The Beatles to name just a few. Made me realise just how beautiful books and the written word can be, and how lucky we are to have so much knowledge and information at our fingertips when in the past it was only the lucky few that could read and write.

We owe it to ourselves to provide compelling content that informs and inspires our readers, otherwise what’s the point in adding to the ‘noise’?

Our Shell LiveWIRE in Scotland event took place at the Apex International Hotel in Edinburgh on Thursday 17th September between 10am-6pm.

After travelling up the day before by train on National Express where the onboard wi-fi was so slow that I wasted half the journey waiting for websites to load up, I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only is the Apex a lovely contemporary hotel in a great location (2 mins walk from Edinburgh Waverley) but the room was spacious and comfy with free high speed wi-fi for all guests throughout the hotel.

After checking in around 5.45pm I plugged in to check my emails, the Shell LiveWIRE site and of course Twitter and saw that fomer Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Awards winners SquidLondon were being interviewed by Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 at 6.30pm that night. This is the sort of thing that I'm finding Twitter is increasingly good at, as not only could I listen in to the show, but I could reply to SquidLondon's tweet and text my colleague Alison so that she could listen in on her car radio. Viviane Jaeger came across really well on the show, and it was great to hear how their business seems to be going from strength to strength as they are now selling their rain-activated colour-changing umbrellas in the Museum Of Modern Art (MOMA) New York, as well as the Tate London and BALTIC art centre in Gateshead (I plan to buy one of these soon).

A little later on I met my colleague Anna Lawn-Thomas to go for some food and a couple of pre-event drinks and had a lovely rib-eyed steak and garlic fries at a cool little restaurant called 'The Outside' at 7-13 Barclay Place, Edinburgh (check it out if you're ever in the city).

After returning to the hotel room, I couldn't sleep so decided to clear a few more of my emails including one from our IT Manager which linked through to a great site called http://thisweekinstartups.com/ which contains videos featuring some of the most exciting and innovative new IT businesses to emerge from the US. The episode I watched was TWiST Episode 14 with Garry Tan which featured the founders of TechCrunch50 and Mr Tan who has started a neat little site called www.posterous.com which allows people to post content to multiple websites (Twitter, Facebook, Blog, Flickr, etc) by sending a single email in to the Posterous site . It's such a simple idea and ridiculously easy to set up. Try it yourself by emailing a photo or image to post@posterous.com.

Eventually, I switched the laptop off and went to bed, before getting up bright and early for the event the next day. There was the usual rushing around to make sure everything was set up and ready for the guests to arrive - which they did, and hats off to Anna for organising such a great event virtually single-handedly.

Around 65 enthusiastic young entrepreneurs turned up to the event to enjoy the following workshops / seminars;

• 'Flirting for Business Success & How to Do A Good Elevator Pitch' with Mel Harris (The Training Tree)
• 'What you need to know about Sales but are Hardly Ever Taught' with Lesley Heatherington (The Hunter Centre)
• 'How to Get Great PR' with Jonathon Kennedy (Wave PR)
• 'Something About The Beatles' by Mike Southon (Author of The Beermat Entrepreneur)

Unfortunately Mike Welch (Black Circles) was too unwell to appear so I was asked to give an impromptu demo of the Shell LiveWIRE website and how to get the most out of our Discussion Forum and Social Network which seemed to go down well. As soon as I was asked to deliver a presentation I sent a text to my Twitter profile asking any LiveWIRE members reading it to login to our Social Network Chat room between 3pm-4pm and big thanks to Adam Foster (D9ENTERTAINMENT) for logging in so I could give a live demo of the Chat room to our audience which helped bring the site to life!

The Shell LiveWIRE in Scotland event also featured an elevator pitch competition which saw some great new businesses pitching for a 1st prize of £1,000 and 2nd prize of £500. I was highly impressed by all of them, although some were obviously a bit more confident than others, but the overall winner was David Toy (www.haymapr.com) for his simple but effective site to help people search for niche products and services in their local area, with 2nd prize going to Steven Reynolds (Micro Gym) for his health and fitness training / services to help combat childhood obesity in schools throughout Scotland. Well done to them both.

Despite there only being 2 winners on the day, everyone was encouraged to apply for the Shell LiveWIRE 'Grand Ideas' Awards at www.shell-livewire.org/awards and I'm pleased to see that Morgan Carberry is one of the 29 people shortlisted for the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2009 for her business El Dorado Cabaret (www.eldoradocabaret.com) and definitely deserved something for singing her way through the pitch!

Our keynote speaker Mike Southon was a little late to arrive but was well worth sticking around for. Having seen him deliver his 'Something About The Beatles' presentation at the NACUE conference earlier this year, I knew it would be good and it didn't disappoint. A definite showman, Mike is easily one of the most entertaining speakers I've had the pleasure of hearing / seeing and by comparing business and entrepreneurship with the qualities that made The Beatles such a hug success, he offers a visual and audio treat with the odd bit of air guitar thrown in. If you're looking for a great speaker for yoru event book this guy! You can read Mike's weekly column on business and enterprise every Saturday in the Financial Times, follow him via Twitter at http://twitter.com/MikeSouthon or find out more about his work at www.beermat.biz.

Overall, I think Shell LiveWIRE in Scotland was a great event, and one of the best things about these things is meeting real young entrepreneurs who are passionate and enthusiastic about what they do, and all have something interesting to say and offer to the world which helps make me feel proud to be British and part of Shell LiveWIRE.

Looking forward to meeting more LiveWIRE members and new businesses at our Shell LiveWIRE LIVE! event and Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2009 final in London on 27th October 2009.

Hi everyone,

I've just recorded a short demo video on how you can get the most out of your My Business Kit section of the main Shell LiveWIRE website which you see in our Video Lounge (under How To Videos) at;

http://www.shell-livewire.org/video-...=how-to-videos

It's around 12mins long and apart from having the joy of listening to my dulcet Geordie tones, you will learn;
 

• how to vote for the monthly Grand Ideas Awards
• how to access your Premium Content (incl. guides to writing your first business plan and market research
• how to subscribe to RSS news feeds
• how to bookmark, rate or leave comments on pages throughout the site
• and even how to personalise the layout of the page

This is the first demo video I've done using some new software so please take a look and let me know what you think.

 

Social Media is the term used to describe the 2nd generation of websites (or Web 2.0) which enable greater interaction with their users. Traditional websites required passive consumption of information by the the reader in a top-down approach, while the new wave of Social Media sites encourage the reader to contribute their own content and ideas.

Examples of popular Social Media that can be useful for business include;

Twitter (http://twitter.com)
Twitter is a micro-blogging tool which enables users to post 140 character messages online about themselves and their business. By searching for topics that interest you and are relevant to your business you can quickly build up a network of people to 'Follow' and recruit your own tribe of 'Followers'. Individual posts or 'Tweets' can be posted online via the website or sent as an SMS text message from your mobile phone. Unlike normal text messages or emails, a single Tweet not only appears on your own profile page, but on those belonging to each of your Followers, making it a highly effective tool for spreading the world quickly about your latest news and ideas. (For help getting started, check out the free 'Twitter 101 for Business - A Special Guide' at http://business.twitter.com/twitter101).

Facebook (http://www.facebook.com)
With over 200 million users worldwide in 2009 (70% outside of the US), Facebook is one of the biggest social media success stories of recent years. Originally a way for college students to stay in touch with their friends, Facebook has since evolved into an easy and user-friendly way for individuals, businesses and groups of like-minded people to communicate with people around the world. With so many people using Facebook on a day to day basis it's worthwhile having some kind of presence for your business on there, and it can be another useful way to market and launch a new product or service.

Shell LiveWIRE Social Network (http://www.shell-livewire.org/network) 
A bit like Facebook for business, the Shell LiveWIRE Social Network is a great way to promote yourself and your business and should be seen as your 'shop window to the world'. All users are provided with a free profile in which they can add photos, videos, classified ads, events diary and blog, providing the perfect place to network and do business with other Shell LiveWIRE members. (For our 'Top Tips on using the Shell LiveWIRE Social Network' click here).

YouTube (http://www.youtube.com)
The moving image is one of the most powerful ways to get your message across to people quickly. Businesses can use YouTube to post individual videos about their product or service, or create their own YouTube Channel (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/ShellLivewireUK) containing a collection of videos related to what they do. Even with a basic video camera or mobile phone and a little bit of imagination, videos can quickly become viral and there are numerous examples of people who have had their clips viewed by over 50million users! Even if just a small number of people view your videos, YouTube is a useful and compelling medium for marketing and promoting your business that should not be ignored. 

MySpace (http://www.myspace.com)
If your business is in the creative industries, particularly music, art and fashion, then MySpace is somewhere that you should definitely maintain a presence as it's a great way to highlight your latest news and releases and reach out direct to your target audience. The Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen and Little Boots famously built up huge armies of devoted fans through MySpace before signing their first record deals and so it has become an essential place for new businesses, record labels and artists to break new markets.

Bebo (http://www.bebo.com)
With a target audience of 13-19yr olds (mostly teenage girls), Bebo obviously isn't for everyone. However, if your business provides products or services for this particular demographic then it's the perfect place to get yourself known (e.g. http://www.bebo.com/shell_livewireuk).

LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com)
Boasting over 41 millions users worldwide, LinkedIn is a useful place for business professionals to host an online CV which can be used to find work or networking opportunities with other users.

Ning (http://www.ning.com)
With over 1.3 million Ning social networks created and more than 30 million registered members around the world, Ning 'enables artists, brands and organizations to simplify and control their online presence with their own unique Ning Network that integrates with other social media services while providing a direct relationship with fans, consumers and members.' 

Flickr (http://www.flickr.com)
Flickr describes itself as 'the best online photo management and sharing application in the world' and provides an easy to use online system for uploading and sharing your pictures with anyone you like. Businesses can use Flickr to share photos of events or products they have available to buy which can be linked to from their emails, website, blogs or any other Social Media site listed above (e.g.http://www.flickr.com/photos/shell_livewireuk)

Blogs
Blogs (an abbreviation of the word 'weblog') are a type of website that allow an individual or business to write a running commentary or diary of their activities which can be made available for anyone to see. Blogs can be purely text-based, but really come to life when enriched with other Social Media tools like YouTube videos, Twitter feeds, photos, audio and links to other external sites of interest. There are a number of free blogging tools available, including WordPress and Blogger which provide users with a simple way to establish an online presence without having to pay for a website, and all Shell LiveWIRE members are provided with a free blog in their Social Network profile. Meanwhile, Technorati was founded as the worlds first blog search engine and has since evolved into a content provider for blogs around the world.

Ok people, we now have over 100,000 members (and counting) of the Shell LiveWIRE Social Network.

The vast majority of members are based in the UK, although a growing number are based around the world in the 25 countries that have their own Shell LiveWIRE programme (see the International site www.shell-livewire.com for details).

The Shell LiveWIRE Social Network has huge potential for connecting young entrepreneurs by enabling them to hook up, share ideas and do business with each other so to get the most out of it I suggest you all do the following:

1. Keep your Social Network profile up-to-date. 

Even if it's just basic info about you and your business idea, your Social Network profile should be seen as your 'shop window to the world' as you never know who might be checking you out and looking to do business with you. It's a  great way to raise your profile and network with others for free, especially if you don't yet have a website and another useful marekting tool if you do. The Social Network provides all registered users with a profile page that allows you to enter a short description about your business, contact details, photos, events diary, classified ads and even a free blog so you can keep everyone infomed about your journey.

At a bare minimum you should make sure that you have a contact name, email address, website address (if you have one) and a photo / logo. However, like most websites, all Shell LiveWIRE Social Network pages are indexed by visible to search engines and so please note you should only include contact details that you don't mind being made public, e.g. contact details for your business and not personal addresses. Once logged in, to edit your profile click here and to adjust your privacy settings click here.

2. Network and make friends with other members.

Most members have joined the Shell LiveWIRE community for similar reasons. Either they're thinking about starting a business, have recently set up, or have already started trading. Whatever stage they are at, people come here to network, share ideas, help each other out and hopefully do business with each other.

We call it a Community for a reason, and there are already lots of examples of people who have made great connections with other users to benefit their business. So, whilst you're here, make the most of the tools available and make friends with others. It's simple to do. Just check out another members profile and then click on 'Add to my friends' on the left hand side of the page, underneath their photo / logo. Once you are friends with someone you can send them direct messages.

Even if you're not yet a friend with someone you can leave a Comment on their profile (provided they have enabled this on their page). You can also start your own market-interest Group and invite people to join you to discuss certain topics.

3. Get talking!

As well as just being a great way to market and promote your business, the Social Network has a cool little Chat room that anyone can use at anytime to share ideas and discuss business. Simply login to the Social Network and then click on My Apps > Chat to start talking in real time, just like MSN Messenger or AOL. However, to get the most out of the Chat room, why not change your profile Status (underneath your photo / logo) to say something like 'In the Chat room so let's talk' or something similar. You can also pre-arrange scheduled meetings with other members in advance so that you're not just talking to yourself!

4. Support each other

Shell LiveWIRE has a history or helping young entrepreneurs connect with each other and one of the biggest strengths (if not the biggest strengths) of the programme is the willingness of members to help each other out by offering advice and support and signposting people to useful resources for their business. We'd like to think that everyone can get something out of the Shell LiveWIRE Social Network as well as the Discussion Forum (www.shell-livewire.org/forums) and information held on our main website (www.shell-livewire.org).

Also, why not help each other out in financial terms too? With so many members on here, why not make it your mission to help at least 1 other Shell LiveWIRE business by using their products and services, rather than going to a bigger, more established company? They're sure to appreciate your business even more than a large company with lots of different customers and you will probably get a more personal service too. If everyone did this then it wouldn't take long for people to benefit and to see their business grow.

5. Spread the word

How did you get to hear about Shell LiveWIRE? Did you stumble upon it by accident in Google? Think how much time and effort you could have saved if someone you knew and trusted recommended it to you. If you like what we are trying to do here at Shell LiveWIRE, tell others about it and encourage them to join. Word of mouth recommendations are the best way to spread the word so why not link back to your Shell LiveWIRE Profile or Blog from your business website(s), Facebook and Twitter? The Shell LiveWIRE Community is growing all the time as it is, but will be even stronger with your help and support.

6. Make the most of Shell LiveWIRE

Remember, Shell LiveWIRE is the UK's biggest online community for young entrepreneurs starting a business and all the tools and resources are provided free of charge to all registered users. It's been this way since the beginning way back in 1982 and isn't going to change so make the most out of what's available to help yourself and your business. It's YOUR website and we're also always open to suggestions for making Shell LiveWIRE even better so if you've got any ideas please send them through to me at paul.lancaster@shell-livewire.org and we'll look at each one in turn.

Now go on and get networking!

GOOD LUCK!

Emotional Economy is an economic concept which says that the world's greatest organisations don't build sustainable growth through finance, but by harnessing the power of human emotions. Successful companies are therefore the ones that have employees who actually love their jobs and customers who love doing business with them. Emotional stuff!

King of Shaves aims to raise £5m for it's marketing campaign by selling 5,000 ‘shaving bonds’ @ £1,000 each

King of Shaves aims to raise £5m for its marketing campaign to help it compete against Gillette and Wilkinson Sword. The company has issued 5,000 ‘Shaving Bonds’ priced £1,000 each. Company founder Will King says the aim is to recruit up to 5,000 brand ambassadors and claims that “it is about building a brand and marketing community as much as raising money”. The brand’s biggest problem is lack of awareness. See www.shave.com for further details on how to apply

Is there a way you could implement something similar in your own business if you don't have a great deal of capital to start off with...?

I've just watched Sunday night's televised episode of the BBC Radio 4 show The Bottom Line' with Evan Davis on iPlayer in which James Dyson, Martha Lane Fox and Adrian Ringrose discuss what being creative means in business, and offer some fantastic advice for school, college or uni leavers and young entrepreneurs.

Great show and well worth watching!



The Bottom Line - Series 2 - Episode 7
http://bbc.co.uk/i/lvsqb/

The view from the top of business. Presented by Evan Davis, the Bottom Line cuts through confusion, statistics and spin to present a clearer view of the business world, through discussion with people running leading and emerging companies.

It's the end of term and summer is officially here. So what advice would Evan Davis's hugely successful business guests give to youngsters just leaving school now? Entrepreneur James Dyson took five years to develop the bagless vacuum cleaner, Martha Lane Fox went on a 'crazy journey' to set up Lastminute.com and Adrian Ringrose still isn't sure he has grown up, even though he is chief executive of a company with 50,000 employees. And Evan will ask them about the magic of business - creativity. How vital is it?

ComputerWeekly.com has produced a short guide for small and medium-sized businesses on choosing an Internet Service Provider (ISP). It covers what a firm should look for in a provider as well as information on charges and bandwidth.

The followng guide can be found at: http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/07/14/236885/business-internet-providers-for-smes-essential-guide.htm

There are literally hundreds of UK business internet providers that offer broadband, mobile internet and e-commerce services to SMEs.

How do I find the right business internet provider?

There are many ways to find the right internet service provider (ISP) for you. These include getting word of mouth recommendations from other businesses. Remember to ask them about their broadband or network experience, customer service, and the consistency of the service over time.

There are also a number of comparison sites and review sites on the web, which will give details of the levels of bandwidth and the services that different business ISPs can offer.

Your IT systems provider, or an industry grouping that you are part of, may also have a view of which the good Internet service providers are.

You should look for a supplier that offers the service you want and has a good reputation. You can find discussion forums on the web, where business users share their good experiences as well as their horror stories about business ISPs.

You may want to consider getting your mobile phone, landline and internet services all from a telephony supplier, such as BT or TalkTalk.

How about mobile internet services?

Many telephony service providers now offer mobile phone-based Internet connections for both consumer and business use.

The benefit of mobile internet broadband is that it caters for people who want to access emails and the web whilst on the move, while they are commuting, or out and about between meetings.

There are a number of mobile services that offer fixed charges for different levels of mobile internet usage, including unlimited usage.

Vodafone, T Mobile, Orange, 3, Virgin Mobile and O2 offer smart phone-based mobile internet services, and several service providers will also support the popular BlackBerry range of smart phones.

How do ISPs charge?

Most ISPs will charge an initial setup fee. This varies and may cover any hardware and installation, for things such as ADSL equipment.

But saying this, because there is so much competition in the marketplace, you can generally find a special offer with a particular ISP where the setup cost is free.

Remember to check precisely what is included with the deal. Some ISPs offer unlimited email addresses, web site hosting, spam filtering, and anti-virus scanning.
 
It is often best to select the minimum contract period, typically 12 months, so that you are not tied to an ISP if they fail to satisfy your needs.

Also, check to see what the costs are for using the firm’s technical support. Some ISPs have good web-based help, whilst others offer premium-rate numbers only for accessing their help desks.

Also check the availability for support to see if they provide you with round-the-clock technical support.

Do all ISPs offer the same bandwidth?

No, some will offer you a 512kbit/sec service, which will be relatively slow if you plan to use the web a lot, particularly for online applications. 

The majority of service providers will offer 1, 2 or 8Mbit/sec speeds, with some promising speeds faster than what is on offer.

But remember that not all types of broadband may be available in your area, particularly if you are in a remote location.

This is because the maximum speed on offer may be restricted due to line lengths or the distance of your premises from an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) enabled exchange.

What about fibre cabling?

Over the past few years, BT has been rolling out fibre optic cables across the country, investing billions into what it calls Broadband Britain.

BT is now announcing the locations where its fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) based broadband will be available, which will mean faster connections in more places.

The result will be that more businesses and home users will have access to fast internet services.

What is the plan with Broadband Britain?

By March 2010, a million homes and small businesses will be covered by this fast, big bandwidth technology.

By early summer 2010, BT expects to have a reach of 1.5 million homes, continuing to 40% of the UK (10 million homes) by 2012.
 

MySpace is to cut approximately two thirds of its 450-strong workforce outside of the US.

The News Corporation-owned social networking website, which in June this year cut 30% of US staff has stated that international restructuring plans will cut its staff outside America by 66%, from 450 to 150.

The sharp rise and fall of MySpace delivers a blow to Rupert Murdoch, the News Corporation chief, who bought the business for $580m in 2005.

The site is apparently struggling against competitors such as Facebook and Twitter alongside the difficulty of attracting online advertisers during widespread recession. In June 2010, MySpaces advertising deal with Google, which reportedly accounts for nearly half of its current revenue, is due to end.

MySpace has 127 million users around the world and rapidly built a reputation for being a showcase for new music and a springboard for careers. It was closely associated with helping to break huge acts such as Arctic Monkeys and Lily Allen in the UK.

However, recent stats reveal that it has undoubtedly gone into decline. The metrics firm comScore shows that Facebook overtook MySpace in Britain by number of users early last year and has continued to move ahead. According to comScore, MySpaces unique users in this country fell by 18%, from 8.5 million in April 2008 to 7 million just a year later. Facebook during the same period has seen growth of 63% and as of April 2009 had 23.5 million unique users in Britain and 200 million worldwide.

Have users of social networking sites migrated to other forms of interaction and left MySpace behind? Is it still an invaluable promotional tool for bands and a great resource for A & R, Managers etc..in hearing new acts? Or was it just a fad? Will Twitter and Bebo inevitably go the same way eventually?

In November 2008 I attended an excellent Business Link event called Marketing: the art of @ The Sage Gateshead which featured some fantastic keynote speeches from PR guru Max Clifford and Green & Black's Global Brand Director Mark Palmer which have just been made available to watch on their website free of charge.

These videos / presentations are well worth watching and I'd highly recommend them to anyone that is interested in PR, branding and ethical marketing.
