Someone once said: Change is inevitable. Any savvy online entrepreneur who wants to remain at the forefront understands that change requires surfing the bleeding edge of technology.

So the question in our minds must always be: “What’s on the horizon and how can I use that to get ahead of my competitors today?”

JOIN COACH DEB & Chat LIVE!

Thirty years ago, there was no internet. Five years ago YouTube was still just a dream. If you watched Biz Stone and Evan Williams on The View this morning, you’ll know that three years ago, Twitter didn’t tweet.

Today, we literally don’t have to leave our computers to book a flight, pay a bill, shop or even connect with a tribe of like minded individuals.

The Internet, YouTube and Twitter are part of our daily lives.

No one could predict the impact each development would have. In fact Bill Gates famously admitted:

“Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority. It wasn’t like somebody told me about it and I said, ‘I don’t know how to spell that.’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got that on my list, so I’m okay.’ But there came a point when we realized it was happening faster and was a much deeper phenomenon than had been recognized in our strategy.”

Don’t get taken by surprise!

Back in December, we had the famous social media guru @JimKukral on TwitCastRadio.

As if that his social media expertiese wasn’t enough, Jim brought along his ukulele for some extra fun and strummed out a few bars he suggested would be the start of a TwitCastRadio Theme

Jim promised to complete the song.. and true to his word.. has been laying down some tracks for us.

Tonight’s http://TwitCastRadio.com was my Twinterview with @MattBacak, who was recently subjected to a Twitter Storm of negative tweets over a press release he issued about his social media activities.

Matt has been promoting online, teaching others how to marketing their books and businesses on the Internet and building several multi-million dollar businesses.

While the press release statements were true, they gave the impression that Matt was in Stage 2.. looking for a way to profit or use technologies like Twitter.

I knew this wasn’t like Matt. So I invited him to tell us what happened.

Listen to the interview now. I think you’ll agree that it’s a story of a sincere guy, who learns from his mistake. (no wonder he’s been so successful).

Do you think Matt was genuine on the call? I admit to not being totally objective, but I think you’ll hear that he is the man of integrety I know and love

Twitter and Social Media are great tools for any author or business wishing to build meaningful relationships to attract new customers and readers, sell book and products, and form strong bonds with your market.

Tim Ferriss, best selling author of The Four Hour Work Week has his own system for using Twitter.

Some think he isn’t really using Twitter, Tim explains how valuable Twitter is to him, and the limits he sets for himself to get the results he’s looking for.

My Twinterview with @Scobleizer, known for his heavy use of Twitter, stong opinions and vast following

Here’s what he had to say about our project

In a marathon editing session the other night, @CoachDeb and I were using DM’s (direct messages) on Twitter to discuss the finer points of our books.

Let’s face it.. some things will just won’t fit into 140 characters.

No worries! We moved to and online chat, then email, and finally did a midnight conference call with our editor. Multi channel communications is so cool!

@WarrenWhitlock live Tweetups this Week

How about you? Are you ready to move your relationships build on Twitter to the next level?

Tonight, I’ve got Larry Benet, AKA “The Connector” joining me on a call for my authors learing about book marketing and you are invited to join us.

You can listen live or hear the recording as Larry tells us how one connection can double your income, cut your work time in half, or get you to your dream goal.

This interview was set up for authors who are just getting online and promoting their new (or unfinished) books, but the information will help anyone with a book or a business or career that involves people.

We will talk about Twitter (how could I not?) but Larry is NOT a Twitter user. (I have a feeling that he will be by the time the show is over).

Imagine what you could do with a connection to the leader in your industry, one celebrity in your field, or the the head of a large network. Larry has done all that and will share his experiences.

Now imagine how much impact we will have when we connect with Larry tonight!

Speaking of #IMPACT

I’m speaking at the IMPACT BOOTCAMP this weekend. Be sure to follow all our updates in your Twitter stream. Use search to see #IMPACT and get tweets about our Tweetups and how we are teaching 12 people to have maximum impact to share their meme and ideas with the world.

If you can make it to the live event, post a COMMENT below and include your @ handle so we can invite you to our Tweet Ups.

And if you are in the area but not attending the seminar, why not?<Grin> You can join us for the Tweet ups if not the whole event.

Friday Night TwitCast with @RickButts

By popular request, we have @RickButts on this week’s TwitCast.

These shows are archived at http://TwitCastRadio.com You can listen at anytime… but here is why you want to get on the live show:

1. You can log into your BTR account (see below) and let other in our network get to know you
2. The experts we interview post URL’s for tips and resources we talk about in real time
3. You can ask a question for me or the guest speakers and get a live response
4. We “shout out” to tweeps we see active in the chat.
5. At least once during each show, we invite people to post links to get new follows

Be sure to get your BTR account. The system we use is BlogTalkRadio (BTR for short). TwitCastRadio is actually just one show on a vast network.

When you sign up for a FREE account, you can access other shows, and when live, you can join a chat network with other listeners and hosts.

I rarely follow someone from a blind link on Twitter. I’d rather focus on poeple that are going to the same events as me, or active in the same online chats where I’m a participant… making for a much stronger connection right from the start.

One very cool feature on BTR is the “automatic time zone calculation” feature. Just go to http://TwitCastRadio.com and it reads the time from your computer and tell you exactly when the show is live in your time zone. So when we promote on Twitter, you won’t see a time or time zone (in fact, when I do, it confuses the worldwide audience)

Two radio show and a live weekend event.. plus 24/7 Twitter. I’m sure I’ll be bumping into you somewhere soon.

Post a comment here to let us know what event you are using to expand your network.
