How Does Listening Convert?

June 26th, 2009 at 5:12 am » Comments (0)

I have been talking about 2009 being the "Year of Listening".  This may be a little ahead of its time as we are still getting sign on for the idea that social media as a doctrine is even worth the space or tab for the business plan or model.  I think that social media gives [...]



Nuts About Social Media

June 12th, 2009 at 11:29 am » Comments (0)

I have been trying to figure a way to work into the mix some of the businesses I visited and met while I was out in the islands and one of the things I thought of for the people at Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut factory was to allow them to talk about the processing of [...]

Just A Walk In The Park

We kept driving up, up and up some more.  As we finally reached the summit where the lodge was located we were at our destination.  Then we headed to the trail head where we went down, down, down and more down until we saw the most breathtaking drop off and steep canyon walls you can [...]

We hopped into the back of an army person ell carrier and like soldiers heading off to battle we had our gear, harnesses and helmets.  The wet weather was welcome because it kept us cool and hydrated as the anticipation sucked the water from our system making us swallow hard.  This would normally be the [...]

A Test For Monetizing Your Blog With Qumana

April 16th, 2009 at 1:10 pm » Comments (1)

As a social media consultant, I don’t actually rely on ad revenue from my blog, i.e. Google Adsense or the like to pay my bills.  If I did, I would have gone back to working in the law as I was before.  I am helping out the folks at Qumana, the blog editor I am [...]



New Media Marketing? Is it taking a backseat?

April 9th, 2009 at 11:59 am » Comments (1)

Just reading over at Profy and Svetlana Gladkova asking the question, "Twitter is a Popular Marketing Tool?".  The analysis is interesting on Svetlana’s piece and I think you should read it.  The thing that caught my eye was less about the written words and more about the graphic she had in the post.
