Yes, Mr. CEO – Social Media is Your Friend

by December 6, 2010

I’ve been asked by several companies to speak to their PR department about their respective social media presences. As much as I’d love to take them up on the offers, though, I thought I’d at least take the time to figure out the problems they’re having.

Our first Pubcon 2010

by November 18, 2010

Arriving in Vegas early Monday morning for Pubcon 2010 was thrilling in many ways. The largest thrill was this being my first conference in the SEO/SEM world. As well, I hadn’t been to Vegas since the early 70’s; I knew I was going to see a city that had grown exponentially.

The Curse of Perfectionism in Branding

by October 25, 2010

Life isn’t perfect or fair in any way, especially if you’re competing for your online market share. SEO isn’t a perfect science, only available to an exclusive set of business owners.

When I started Honoring Women Wed on Twitter, I didn’t realize I was starting a grass roots movement. I just wanted to honor some of the great women I’ve met through social media. When I realized it was spreading, I had to think about it – does Twitter really need more noise added to the feed?

It’s not everyday I actually get to write about something I want to discuss. Most of my writing consists of work – whether for clients or my business, it’s still work. Every once in a while, though, you have moments in between the 9 to 5 when you’re compelled, no, forced to purge and rant. [...]

Everyone I know who works online is involved in making money online through passive income. “Passive” – it sounds easy; to some it’s second nature. You have to know how affiliate marketing works, do some research on the products you’re going to promote and, of course, be willing to spend a few dollars, but it can be done. Lots of great people out there do very well for themselves.

“Any press is good press”, right? Not necessarily. Bad press – negative publicity – is becoming a prevalent problem for online companies.
