I got a question from a client this morning concerning mobile ecommerce store technology.  Honestly speaking, it’s not something I’ve even looked at — not a smart move when you’re an ecommerce advisor ;-(

Needless to say (as you can tell by this post), I began my research on mobile ecommerce and it’s benefit to anyone selling products online.

2010 is primed to be an exciting year for mobile technology, with a flood of smartphones, laptops, netbooks, and tablets slated for stores.

Mobile Smart Phone Technology is the ‘new’ talk in cyberspace.  Business owners like the idea that people are choosing to shop via their ‘Mobile smart phones’ too!

Let’s talk about what Mobile Smart Phones are…

Mobile smart phones are not a single brand belonging to any one company, but rather the term refers to phones that have capabilities exceeding those of an ordinary cell phone. They have features that include processors that are more powerful than standard cell phones, including more memory.

What is a smart phone? It’s a cross between a cell phone and a miniature computer. It allows you access to the Internet, instantly putting you in touch with the World Wide Web even while you’re on the go.  These phones usually employ the use of a touch screen and the built in computer chips are the reason why they’re so ‘smart’.

The Benefits Mobile Technology

So what does this mean for you, the business owner?  Having a ‘Smart Phone’ allows you to:

1. When you’re out of the office, you still want a way to keep up with your clients’ needs. But you can’t do that if they can’t reach you and you can’t reach them.
2. Mobile computing can improve the service you offer your customers. You can use your laptop computer to give a presentation. You could transfer PDFs of your product literature to your client’s computer, or you could connect remotely to your diary to arrange a follow-up appointment.  PLUS: you can enable customers to pay for services or goods via their smart phone.

I ecourage you to check out your options for leveraging off of this smart technology.  While the U.S. is behind other countries where shopping via cells phones are concerned, it’s a good idea to do your own due diligence and get positioned with current technology.

Did you know that Facebook costs companies 233 million work hours every month as a result of what they term “wasting time” on Facebook?

Did you know that 43 percent of employees said their employer blocks access to some of the Internet’s most popular social media websites?

I bet at times you too feel as if social media is a waste of time.

You’re probably following, friending or networking with hundreds – even thousands – of people online, yet you’re still scratching your head wondering why you feel so drained.

I agree that social media can be a complete waste of time, but only if you’re not using it in an intelligent way.

If you want to start using social media to attract all the leads you can handle and really turn your business around in 2010, I invite you to attend the 2010 Social Media Telesummit, an 8-day virtual event taking place entirely over the phone from January 19-28, 2010.

It’s hosted by Leesa Barnes and she’s pulled together some of the brightest and smartest people who are using social media to do extraordinary things in their businesses.

Here’s just some of the things you’ll learn:

• How to sell stuff on social media without annoying people.
• How to start creating compelling videos to attract more clients.
• How to consistently attract, engage, and retain clients without ever spamming or applying pressure.
• Simple methods to get your Twitter followers and Facebook friends on your email list.
• How to avoid typical mistakes that every business owner makes with their Facebook fanpage.

It’s the end of the year.  Many people are planning and plotting for 2010.

For others, planning is not something that comes naturally and neither is coming up with a ton of blog posts.

Which is why, despite the resistance, it is even more important to at least have a rough idea what you will write about ahead of time.

When you have something laid out, you don’t have to worry about having a blog that is stale and more importantly, you can see clearly where you slip in a promotion to market your blog, a spot to promote your own products or affiliate products. This small action is the beginning of a profitable blog or an even more profitable blog than you have now.

When are YOU going to plan your 2010 blog posts? How about right now? Here’s a great blogging calendar to help you with that. It’s a calendar that you can also use as a planner and it includes some pretty strange, funny and interesting holidays and events. This is a big help to work out all your posts through the year.

Download it, print it, stick it in a binder and start planning. You could literally come up with months of blogging material by the end of the day.
