First, just because I offer site designs that can run into the 4 and 5 digits does not mean that I don’t want to help clients who can’t afford a large makeover – I love design, and if I can make someone’s site better with small fixes, I will. Second, these tips are not for those who need a fully branded marketing strategy. These are for...
Yesterday, my new site design went live. *cue excited dancing music and me jumping up and down like a crazy woman!!* If you follow me on twitter, you probably saw my tweets about trying to redesign my site. I was frustrated because I was having trouble pulling myself out of my own head to work on my site. When I design a clients site, I don’t...
Today, @MiaChambers posted a link to twitter about ghost tweeting, asking for our thought on whether it was right or wrong. Most responders were quick to say that they thought ghost tweeting was wrong in all areas – but I disagree. I believe that ghost tweeting for an individual would be wrong, but a ghost tweeter for a brand is completely acceptable (and is commonplace). For example,...
Today is the last two-words of 2009…and as much as I have enjoyed the series, it will be the last two-word tuesday [insert scary music] EVER! It is being replaced with a very fun and exciting new weekly short, that will be showing up starting [insert exciting music] THIS FRIDAY! So, for the final two-words I want you to tell me: Your Favorite ...
On Thursday, I asked you to suggest new blogs for me to read in 2010. Of course, adding new always makes me think of cleaning old. Which led me to thinking about cleaning out old posts from my rss reader (which I hadn’t done in months!) Before I started my business, when I had actual time at the end of the a month, I would...
I hope you get time with your family, lots of love, and everything that you hoped for this holiday.…Now get off the computer/blackberry/iphone and go celebrate with your family!! ...
All I want for Christmas is…some new blogs to read! Want to help? First, suggest 1 blog that you love to read that is not a mainstream/big name bloggers blog (ie: don’t suggest Chris Brogan, Copyblogger, Guy Kawasaki, etc). Secondly, add the name of your own blog as well, so I can check it out too (if I haven’t). Finally, check out some of the blogs that everyone suggests...
Improving your social media and blog management strategies means time, effort and a lot of work. But, in order to make it a little easier, I have picked 12 posts (one from each month this year) that discuss different areas of improvement. January – How to be better in social media (it takes more than just participation.) February – 7 ways to stay strong in your writing...
I hate computer shopping. Saturday, I spent 6 hours looking at computers (in stores and online). My hubby and I compared models, read reviews and pretty much drove ourselves crazy. You would think knowing what you want in a computer would make it easy to buy, right? Wrong. I built out the computer I wanted in so many price ranges, from $800 (lowest end, but still would work)...
