Description:Facebook is a great social
networking medium. It allows your
friends to be tuned into what’s
going on in your life and vice versa.
It also allows you to make new
friends and connect with groups and
organizations where you may have a
shared interest.
Facebook can be used personally
and professionally. For the creative
individual who operates on a small
budget and a limited amount of
time, you can use Facebook to
communicate to everyone in your
friends list as well as the groups you
are connected with. For example,
Facebook can be used as a great
marketing tool to broadcast an
upcoming event to everyone you
know and it costs you nothing. So,
let’s get started with registering and
creating your account on Facebook.

Now, Find Your FriendsThe next step is to find friends that you can
invite to create your group of friends. To do this,
click on “Friends”. There are three ways you can
search for friends. The first one is the automated
way by asking Facebook to go through your
email list on outlook or you can upload a
contact list. To do this, click on “Upload Contact
File”. The other way is the let Facebook find
all the people you email from an account such
as “Yahoo” or “Gmail”. To do this, fill out your
email address and password and click on “Find
Friends”. The last one is to find friends one at a
time by entering individual email addresses. To

How to Get Started on TwitterByte-Syze Learning / by Francis Raymond

Byte-Syze Learning
Everyone I know (myself included) has
had twit-fright at one point or another.
You're not alone if you're wondering,
"What the heck is this Twit-thing?"
"Am I gonna sound dumb?" or "Who
cares what I am doing now? I was just
making tea. Hello, adrenaline!" These
are valid concerns, but let's stop
worrying and get you started.
Description:Twitter is a micro-blogging platform.
It asks users to share thoughts, 140
characters at a time. Everybody can
find and read your tweets (that's what
a message is called on Twitter) and
you can do the same. It's not unlike
sending a SMS to a friend, though
with Twitter everybody can receive
that message. It's like texting on a
global scale!
Twitter is great to meet and connect
with other individuals or businesses.
There are a number of ways to find
like-minded people, and if you sell
your craft or art online, Twitter makes
for an amazing venue to meet new
prospective customers or exchange/
follow-up with existing ones! We
won't cover everything Twitter-related,
though. Let's start with the basics:
registration.

post thison twitter
Byte-Syze Learning
Facebook provides a great platform
to leverage your network and
communicate with them on their
schedule and at no cost to you.
Instead of interrupting your friends
to let them know what’s happening
in your life, this format allows you to
give them an opportunity to listen
when they have time.
DescriptionWe will walk you through the steps
for creating an event on Facebook
and the various activities to invite
your friends and utilize their network
of friends to spread the word.
It doesn’t cost anything, it’s very
effective and it’s easy to use! Budget
is important and today we have
access to several online mediums
that effectively communicate
our messages to a wide reaching
audience at a minimal cost. And
don’t forget, there is a great
environmental benefit to using these
online mediums by not having to
print multiple flyers or invitations.

Opening Your First Flickr Group!Byte-Syze Learning / by Francis Raymond

Byte-Syze Learning
I have some more Flickr love to
spread around today. Remember
the last Byte-Syze Learning on
how to register on Flickr and the
Flickr Groups overview? Well, now
that you are acquainted with the
basics of sharing photos on this
social network, it is time to have
a closer look at starting your own
Flickr Group. Without further ado,
let's start the next installment of the
Byte-Syze Learning tutorial series!
DescriptionA Flickr group is a fantastic tool to
meet likeminded folks and promote
your art and craft. Setting up your
own group is also dead easy!
Well, opening and managing your
own Flickr Group can give your
business some much needed
visibility. Of course, you will
need to get in touch with fellow
Flickr members and get them to
participate in your group for it to
work, but if you put some time and
effort into it, it will do great things
for you.

sure though that people will feel compelled to
participate in your group, so if its name is all
about you, try to open it up a little by also using
some keywords related to your business such as
craft, art, knitting, etc.

Byte-Syze Learning
Have you ever wanted to improve your
blog posts or publications with great
images and didn't know how to do
it? Today, we want to share with you
a Byte-Syze Learning on how to find
and source Creative Commons images
on Flickr to do just that.
DescriptionCreative Commons is a nonprofit
organization that allows people to
license or grant permission for their
work (like images, video and blogs)
for others to use. In this Byte-Syze
Learning, you will learn step by step
how to find and source a Creative
Commons licensed image through
Flickr.
Utilizing images through Creative
Commons is free and allows you
to improve the look and feel of
your blog or another publication
if you don't have the photography
resources that may be required.
And, for those that share their work
through Creative Commons, it opens
up a place to have their work gain
awareness and visibility which can
lead to future business. So, let's get
started on finding and sourcing a
Creative Commons image through
Flickr.

case, I've chosen to search for an image with
a "sunset". At the bottom of this window,
check the box that is titled "Only search within
Creative Commons-licensed content" and then
I've also checked the box "Find content to
modify, adapt or build upon" so if we want, we
can ensure it's going to be ok to modify the
original image.
