Join Us For The Coca-Cola #ForTheDream Education Bilingual Twitter Party! @CocaCola #Ad

*This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Dime Media and Coca-Cola.  However, all opinions expressed are my own.     I can still remember all of the educational goals and dreams that I started mapping out for bot of my sons from as early as when they were in my womb.  Education is a central focus among Latino families with so many planning for their child to be the first to attend college in the United States. This summer Coca-Cola and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund teamed up to make a difference and help more families achieve their education goals. The #ForTheDream program is helping Latino families and students prepare, plan and pay for their college education, and raising awareness of the college resources available to them.     Through this summer’s #ForTheDream movement Coca-Cola will donate $1 for every social post up to $10,000 to the Hispanic Scholarship! To add to the excitement Coca-Cola is also hosting the #ForTheDream … [Read more...]

Big Companies Are Listening To You On Social Media And I Have Proof!

    If you have ever doubted the power of social media, I am here to tell you that it is an amazing tool not only to propel your brand or business forward but also to affect change.  Over the years, I have reached out to companies over my social media platforms and had much success in creating a dialogue with them about their services or products.  This week, I was able to use social media to solve a personal problem and to give a major pharmaceutical company honest feedback about their practices and customer service.  Here is my story...     My family and I receive all of our medications through a mail order pharmacy called Express Scripts.  This past week, I received a letter from them stating that I needed to call to update my payment information on file before they could release my latest prescription out for mailing.  I waited until after Christmas and promptly called them and provided them with my debit card information so they could simply withdraw payment directly from my … [Read more...]

Don’t Lose Yourself in the Tribe…

    Many of you who are on Twitter have probably seen a lot of tweets from others with the #Triberr hashtag or referring to Triberr. It is the latest craze taking over Twitter and some people are very happy about it while others don't seem to be so happy. Since I do participate in Triberr and am the member of two tribes, I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing many of its pros and cons. A colleague of mine on Twitter thought it would be a good idea if I wrote a post about this topic in order to enlighten the masses so, here we are!     I'm sure many of you don't know exactly what Triberr is all about so let me attempt to explain it to you in laymen's terms.  The basic premise behind Triberr is to increase the exposure of your blog posts on Twitter.  Each tribe is made up of members who attach the feed to their blog posts directly to the tribe.  As a result, every single member of the tribe sends a tweet out to their followers about every blog post that every member of the tribe has … [Read more...]
