I do see the irony of using a blog to question the value of social media marketing, but the graph above from Buddy Media really says it all. Me, I’d rather use a book to get seen, get heard, get noticed & get known. If you want me to guide you in creating YOUR book, [...]

I was hunting for some retro TV images for a product I’m making and I stumbled on these fabulous vintage style ads for social media stuff, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, You Tube etc. One way to stand out is to mix 2 styles that appear to contradict each other but blend them in a way that [...]

Step Out of the Shadows & Into the Spotlight! Stand Out and Get Noticed! I’ve been encouraging my followers to do this for years. And when I find others who are carrying the torch as well, I bring them to you here, ’cause they might have a secret that will help you do it faster. [...]

Just came off an awesome teleseminar with this chick, Carrie Wilkerson. I’d never heard of her before but gotta give her a standing ovation here. She took something necessary but boring to discuss, list-building and made it sound sexy! And good timing, ’cause I just finished the Build Your Own Fan Club module of Step [...]

There’s a big pull quote on page 199 of my book, Step Into The Spotlight! where I say that “The media does not need to be informed every time you have a haircut.” Apparently I was wrong. Today’s top headline? Justin Bieber has a haircut! His hair clippings take the spotlight and not only earned [...]

Have a peek…(ie Click On Arrow [...]

This guy has personality up the wazoo! Allow yourself to get carried away. What’s your dream? What are you waiting for?

I’ve said it before. Most entrepreneurs don’t know what they’re really selling. This chick does. Instead of hitting us over the head with all the reasons we should join her website creation workshop, she focuses on one, the freedom and lifestyle (is that two?) we can enjoy if we have an internet business, which all [...]

I don’t watch The View. Some of us work during the day–writing silly little blog posts etc. But I was a little disappointed that I missed Obama, the first reigning (sitting?) American President in history to be interviewed on a TV talk show, disappointed until I saw this clip. Doesn’t look like I missed much. [...]

So exciting to get unexpected lumpy mail. Today’s haul included 3 marketing books (one of the benefits of being a blogger–Thanks Todd And for dragging me to blogging…and thanks to Wiley & Entrepreneur Press). The one I opened first (while waiting outside the donut shop for my kid finishing her shift) was David Meerman Scott’s [...]
