blogs: GETTING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING BACK ON TRACK (PART 2) - 06/15/11 04:41 PM
Welcome back. In part 1 (here's the link), I talked about what social media is, and the importance of communication. People have tended to lose sight of the “social” in “social media”.
There are dozens of social media platforms out there. From micro-blogging sites such as twitter to connect-with-everyone-you-ever-knew sites such as Facebook to social bookmarking sites such as Digg or Reddit, there's something for everyone. Blog are also social media applications, as are message boards, chat rooms and even comment section of news, sports and other sites.
But back to you. Where is your time going to be … (1 comments)

blogs: SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE - 04/06/09 11:10 AM
Whether by email or on a social networking site, I never cease to be amazed at the fact that many people use one identity for all things social and business.
I receive emails from professional associates that contain all sorts of things, from "forward this to 10 people and..." to jokes and who knows what else. While it's not the content that bothers me, it's the fact that it's coming from what should be a professional (ie business) address.
Ditto on networking sites. When someone is "linked" to the entire world of friends and family, there are bound to be "skeletons"...or … (0 comments)

blogs: Blog or website...or both? - 01/13/09 12:39 PM
Several of my clients have raised the question of blogging recently. Concerns run the gamut from "what should I write about?" to "what it no one reads it?" Questions that I'm sure we've all asked from time to time and ones which I do my best to help them resolve.
One of my clients, however, asked me about whether he should bother with a site at all and perhaps just start a blog. He's a business coach and the nature of his work and his communication frequency and style make the idea of a blog instead of a site (at least … (1 comments)

blogs: Social Networking in 2009 - 12/29/08 08:23 AM
The growth of social media has been explosive in 2008, there's just no other way to describe it. Whether you use Twitter, ActiveRain, Blogger, Wordpress, Facebook, LinkedIn or another or all of the social networking tools, you'll have seen unprecedented growth in all of these and, with any such growth, come two very real risks: overkill and marginalization.
Email was hailed, and still is, a communication revolution. Like the telephone before it, email allows quick, almost instantaneousness transfer of information. Unlike the telephone, it can be more readily-accessible, in most cases free, allows the attachment of files and distribution to … (9 comments)

blogs: A balanced diet... - 12/12/08 08:25 PM
It's common knowledge that a balanced diet is essential for a healthy lifestyle. The same can be said for an "online" diet. Whether emailing, blogging, twittering, instant-messaging, ActiveRaining (or what ever social media / networking tool you care to pick), too much of any one thing is unhealthy. For that matter too much of any one group of things (i.e. using the Internet) can be bad for you too.
I've been using the Internet before it was called that. I was one of the first users of services like Compuserv and AOL when the fastest speed you could get was 14k … (0 comments)

blogs: Making money with Twitter... - 12/09/08 04:29 PM
I was stunned.
A few weeks ago I'd played with Twitter and thought to myself that it was an interesting idea, a slightly slower form of instant messaging to some degree. I almost left it at that, except I kept hearing about Twitter and reading about it as the marketing tool to be using, especially if you need a low-cost, high-visibility solution.
So one day, I had a brainwave and put a short article out to the three or four follwers in my Twitter network. It concerned low-cost marketing techniques for small business. The next thing I knew, I was getting … (4 comments)

blogs: Twitter...and other things - 12/09/08 04:27 PM
Social networking is all the rage on the Internet these days. New tools and sites are springing up almost weekly. It will be a while before the "survival of the species" leaves the major players to dominate the field, but social networking tools are certainly worth looking at. Like blogging, using tools such as LinkedIn, ActiveRain, Twitter and others, can be a useful and free marketing tool.
In the New Year I'll have a more in-depth article on these but if you're in the mood, you can follow us on Twitter by visiting http://twitter.com/dsegrove. We're also on ActiveRain, LinkedIn, WordPress and … (0 comments)

blogs: Writing with Passion - 07/21/08 10:24 PM
A lot of people have trouble blogging. Perhaps it's because they think they have nothing to say. Perhaps it's because they don't know how to say it. Perhaps..perhaps...
I read a lot of blogs about a lot of subjects. Sometimes I interact and other times I pass. I read blogs on everything from marketing to the latest technology, cooking to current events. When you take a step back and think about the freedom that the Internet has brought us and that we can interact with so many people in so many places it really is mind-boggling.
But back to the subject … (4 comments)
