Why Shorten Your Twitter Name?

Twitter messages allow only 140 characters, so short User-Names make sense. If you did not realize that the length of your username would impact your message length, don't worry. You can follow these steps to update your account: 

Step 1: Sign in to your Twitter Account

Step 2:  Select "Settings (upper right)."

•  A new page opens, displaying the "Account" tab, 
  

Step 3:  Select "Username Field (second field, top left)."

• Update with your preferred shortened name.
• Twitter will warn you about name availability

Step 4:  Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Save" (blue button)

Followers will be automatically updated with your new twitter name once your changes have been saved.

Step 5: Lastly, if you want to ensure other people do not re-use your OLD Twitter User Name, you will need to register it again under another e-mail account. This will make it "Not-Available" when people propose their new User Names.

If you connect to Twitter with other applications, you will need to update your credentials on those applications with your new User Name.(eg. Hootsuite etc.)

Why Hire DEN Vs hiring your own Employee

Maybe you pay your full-time assistant around $25 per hour for 40 hours per week. Over the course of a year you're spending $ 48,000 on salary alone. If you factor in government legislated expenses and employee benefit plans, that figure can double!

Why so expensive? with an Employee, you need to fund :

1. Health plans and life insurance,
2. Employer related CPP, EI and WSIB premiums
3. Pension Plans
4. Self-insured sickness plans.
5. Vacation Pay, Holiday Pay and Overtime pay.
6. Costs associated with hiring and maintaining your in house employee.

Less obvious expenses to quantify may include

1. Time and money spent hiring and training your employee,
2. Purchasing equipment like computers and technology,
3. Maintaining office space
4. Non-productive hours that occur while on the job.

With DEN you pay for the specific job that needs to be done. You are not paying for lunch hours, sick leave or vacation pay; and there's no such thing as paid down time because we invoice only for the time we spend working on your projects.

We have our own functional office, and we use our equipment to support your requests. There are no additional costs to you beyond the actual rate we negotiate and expenses incurred to support your business (like Professional Printing, Domain Registrations, Courier and Mileage incurred per your behalf).

With DEN Consulting your cutting overhead, increasing flexibility and improving productivity. We work for you only when you require it and on the projects that need to be addresses now. And best of all, because we are highly skilled Human Resource and Social Media Specialists we only need a short ramp-up on client specific business specifications.
