Sound the trumpets. Clash the cymbals. Release the white doves into the air.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to…
Words Empowered. My new business.
My 140 characters or less Twitter pitch: Social media that matters. Social media with a conscience. Words Empowered can make a difference… and so can you.
My 30-second elevator speech: Words Empowered develops social media that connects and engages your followers with your brand and inspires them to act. Words Empowered not only helps you determine where social media fits into your overall marketing strategy, but we help get your social media presence up and running. Social media matters and we believe in social media that matters. Words Empowered can make a difference… and so can you.
Intrigued? Well head on over to my business website to learn more about the services offered, check out my other blog, and see what folks are already saying.
I’m a little more than excited to say… Words Empowered is officially open for business.
Since I don’t have a storefront to hang balloons and do nifty door prizes, I’m doing the next best thing… I’m hosting a fabulous Launch Giveaway!

I love the Web site’s nice clean look and positive and upbeat feeling. I’d also love to win the free one-on-one consultation! 🙂
This is incredible, Keiko. I think it’s huge, and as I’ve been tackling with how to get our collective infertility voice heard, you’re creating a platform to help people do just that. Brava!
I love the idea of the following your passion prize pack. I’ve been itching to figure out how to follow mine, and I loooooove the quote on the cover of the Quotable Journal.
AND: I love your new business! The blog, the services … you’re definitely a social media maven, and what an awesome idea to turn it into a consulting opportunity! Mazel tov! 🙂 (I’d like the Good Karma prize pack, because I don’t think I have a blog/business worthy of WE just yet. 😉
I liked you already before I knew it would get me an entry. 🙂
Do I have to leave 3 comments for my 3 newsletter entries, and 2 for my 2 blog comment entries?

So so so excited for you Keiko. Let me know how else I can support your endeavour. I did all the steps above other than sharing on my non-existent blog. I love the WE logo.
Thanks Claire – it’s an exciting time indeed. These graphics have been a labor of love all weekend. While Larry was killing dragons in Skyrim, I was slaying layers in Photoshop 😉
WOW Keiko! This is amazing!!! I love the graphics! And I have never seen a blog before that actually walks us through the steps of doing something like make a map. I will definitely be back to this blog. Even I could understand the steps, and I’m a blogging/computing idiot. 🙂
I’m so proud of you! Go out and kick some social media butt!
Are you entering the giveaway? Just wanted to double check and count this as an entry. If you are, just let me know which Prize Pack you’re interested in winning!
