Free Photos for Bloggers<br \/>\n======================================<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re blogging about the Olympics, or the presidential<br \/>\nelection, or a breaking news event, and you need an accompanying<br \/>\nphoto.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t even THINK of grabbing one from Google Images which can get<br \/>\nyou into big, expensive legal trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, hop over to <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210320034053\/http:\/\/photopin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PhotoPin.com<\/a>,\u00a0which helps bloggers find photos<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">and makes adding them to their\u00a0<\/span>posts fast and easy.<\/p>\n<p>Just search for any topic using the search box.

A Targeted Social Media System<br \/>\n=====================================<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I showed you how to get the two free videos and the<br \/>\nfree software from Don Crowther, my mastermind coach.<\/p>\n<p>He says one of the biggest mistakes most people make with social<br \/>\nmedia is focusing on having conversations with their audience<br \/>\nrather than giving them business oriented content.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Don is giving away another video in which he shows you<br \/>\nhow to create a targeted social media system that will keep your<br \/>\nefforts focused on the tasks that will make you money, rather<br \/>\nthan having conversations that go nowhere. He&#8217;s also giving away<br \/>\na Systems Template, plus an already filled-out sample version for<br \/>\nyou to literally copy and use as your own template. And he&#8217;ll<br \/>\nshow you step-by-step how to use it. The template works, no<br \/>\nmatter what kind of system you&#8217;re developing.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where to find Don&#8217;s social media tips. To access all of it, click<br \/>\non the link below.

Facebook Contest Do&#8217;s and Don&#8217;ts<br \/>\n====================================<\/p>\n<p>Facebook contests are all the rage, but you still see big brands<br \/>\ndoing it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re offering a prize in return for you liking their page or<br \/>\ncommenting. That&#8217;s against Facebook policy, and it can get your<br \/>\naccount close down, pronto. You must administer all contests,<br \/>\npromotions and sweepstakes on Facebook using a third-party<br \/>\napplication.<\/p>\n<p>Genevieve Lachance has written a very helpful guide to what you<br \/>\nmust know about <a href=\"http:\/\/socialmediatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook contest rules<\/a>.
