Black Friday in the Rain~ 5 things to do instead of shopping!

So, its early morning and I just woke up.  The wonderful Thanksgiving meal has finally worn off, and energy is returning to my body.  My question though this morning is where are all the good deals in the rain?  I mean it is Black Friday and for some reason people enjoy getting up way too early to go stand in lines with thousands of other crazy shoppers to save an additional $4.00 on that summer blockbuster movie that was released on DVD. 

To me, I have never been a fan of early bird shopping.  Maybe it is because I am not a big morning person.  The true reason though is that I believe that my time and also not dealing with Chaos is worth much more valuable than the few dollars saved.  Since we can't really find sales on Activerain, how about we find some stuff to increase business?  Here are just a few things to increase business.

  1. Twitter If you haven't listened to Rain Radio about this network, go here.
  2. Facebook- One of the largest social networks around, Facebook possesses huge business potential. Remember, you can even feed your blog to facebook.
  3. Flickr- We all love taking photos and also sharing them.  Using a photo sharing site like Flickr will not only increase your exposure online, but also brings you more google juice.
  4. Feedburner- Have you given your consumers a way to subscribe to your blog yet?  If not, learn how to add feedburner to your blog here.
  5. Electronic Advertising In case you were looking for some sort of shopping to do, check out some of these awesome tools that can be used to increase you business.  If you need my address to ship one of these to me, let me know and I can email it to you!

 

So instead of shopping, try a few of these great things to increase your business!
