A Test For Monetizing Your Blog With Qumana

April 16, 2009 By Jim Turner 1 Comment

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 testing, with a revival of an old feature. I used to be back in the day when I was first introduced into Qumana that we had ads that were served using the blog editor and that no longer became viable. For a little bit I am going to feature some ads here in the posts, not because I want to make the big dollars and show you my six figure check the likes of a Darren Rowse at Problogger.net or like Shoemoney. I am doing it to help out a company that will help out bloggers. We are always here to help bloggers become better bloggers. That in turn helps companies that want to hire a blogger or bloggers that go on to get real jobs as bloggers. I will let you know more as they are ready to launch these things again and will let you know my review of their service and offering.

Twoogle?

April 2, 2009 By Jim Turner 3 Comments

I am trying to wrap my had around the idea that Google may possibly be the next owner of our beloved golden child in the world of social media, Twitter. Are we ready yet to turn the keys to the Twitter kingdom over to the folks at Google? I have been a serious watchdog lately it seems talking about Twitter ethics and the gaming of Twitter and the eroding of all things pure about the application.

How about if we turn it over to Google and make it a part of that empire? I know Techcrunch talked about it in terms of Twitter search and that it is becoming the real time search engine. It makes sense actually and since they turned down the money offered by Facebook due to valuation issues and Facebook’s stock, I think it could be said Google has the bank account for it. Google and the leadership at Twitter have had dealings in the past with Blogger so in fact there may already be that relationship. We will see how this unfolds. I am hoping to get some further analysis from some of the people in our industry to help me grasp the idea but for now I will just try to fathom a life of Twoogle.

Update: You can read more about it at Techrunch and the rest of the folks on Techememe.

Social Mediasphere TV Launched

April 2, 2009 By Jim Turner Leave a Comment

I have recently launched Social Mediasphere TV and added it to my list of blogs including this one and including Bloggers For Hire in the long list of blogs I contribute to and provide. Social Mediasphere TV is an extension of the radio I was doing on Blog Talk Radio. You can still go over and take a look at my archives at that location and I may still continue my on location live radio using that service as it seems to be a very simple solution to the technical issues related to live radio.

I will be doing my show continuing here forward on Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m. PST and 8:00 p.m. EST. We will be discussing all things Social Media and as always we will have special guests, commentary and even you as listener can call in and ask questions make your own comments or just be a guest yourself. I am still working through all of the issues with using the applications of the trade, but I have been given some good advice and help from many friends that are cheering me on to make this new project a success. See you all on Tuesdays!

One By One Media Heading South For The Winter

February 20, 2009 By Jim Turner Leave a Comment

Perhaps that is not as much of a migration as it is a business trip for me. I am headed to Miami tomorrow to speak at Wordcamp Miami and attend BarCamp Miami and Future of Web Apps ’09.

I will be speaking at Wordcamp Miami as I did in Las Vegas on "Blogging for A Living", it is a presentation that I have given a number of times and therefore I wont have to prepare more than my usual, but more importantly, and perhaps more fun I will be doing a live radio show from BarCamp Miami courtesy of my client i-Lighter.

You can follow along and be a part of things as well. My show Social Mediasphere via Blog Talk Radio will have the live coverage of the event. This is my first try at doing a live radio show, although I have been on Blog Talk Radio live while I was at Blog World Expo last year.

I’ll be interviewing attendees, speakers and whoever might happen by the table. I have been sent some podcasting equipment and I will be hopefully not embarrassing myself with my non-technical skills. You can join in on the fun. I want to have as many people participate as possible.

After the fun on Sunday at Barcamp Miami, I’ll be attending the fun at FOWA ’09 or the Future of Web Apps. This event has some real dynamite personalities that are speaking at the event and hopefully I will get a few of them to stop by and be a part of the live radio show as well. This show will be done on Blog World Expo Radio via the Blog Talk application as well so I would really enjoy it if you participated. I will be live blogging the event as I can via the Blog World Expo Blog so stay tuned.

I have contributed to a really cool project that is being led to help the Susan G. Komen Foundation called the Project 100. This is a book that is being written by 100 great social media minds and people that understand social media marketing. The name of the book is going to be: Connect! Marketing in the Social Media Era

I am embedding a Slideshare presentation as a teaser as what is to come. I wanted to thank Jeff Caswell for the opportuynity for helping a great cause. You can get more information on the book and what is being done at The Project 100 site.

Have You Sourced Your Crowd Today?

January 16, 2009 By Jim Turner Leave a Comment

I have been thinking about that title for a while and how i could turn that into a million dollar money maker as a bumper stickers for the new social media generation. I was actually thinking of making a blog post about how we crowd sourced the people in Twitter, Facebook, Friend Feed–well you get the idea, no need to belabor that longer, in getting a new logo header image on the blog here, and me a new looking brand for 2009.

I mentioned on Twitter that I was having some difficulties with photoshop and some other things I needed done, and the help we received from that “crowd” was tremendous. I had ideas of changing my company name and brand, and looking to do some different marketing, advertising and public relations for myself and mentioned that too. I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the whole experience. Many people from all over wanted to help me. It was a good old fashion barn raising, or in this case i guess a blog raising. I have been hearing the crowd sourcing phenomena for some time and now i know why it is so popular.

My entrepreneurial spirit being what it is, I’m thinking a t-shirt of the title or a bumper sticker. What do you think?

Speaking of Blogging For A Living At Las Vegas and Wordcamp

January 6, 2009 By Jim Turner 1 Comment

I’ll be headed to Vegas this week to talk to people at CES and will be also headed to Affiliate Summit the first part of next week. Sandwiched between and/or during those events, I am lucky enough to attend and speak to attendees of WordCamp Las Vegas.

My discussion is one i have had before on Blogging For A Living. I will be providing the information to people on Sunday at the end of the event, and to say the least there is an all-star lineup of talent all weekend that will be presenting ahead of me and I cannot wait to see some of the great stuff that will be talked about while there. This is the event’s first year and I’m impressed with how much they have accomplished. John Hawkins should be commended for his hard work and the way he has leveraged the Consumer Electronic Show and the Affiliate Summit to help him with the attendance.

If you are going to be in Vegas for either of those events, take some time out to see some of the people speaking, and to hang out with the WordPress people that are attending. Save your $20.00 at the tables and spend it on this event instead. Register before the event as there will not be a way to get in the event at the door. In addition if your company is looking for a way to get some inexpensive exposure, i know that this is a great way to help promote yourself and they are still taking last minute sponsorships.

The State of The Micromediasphere

December 1, 2008 By Jim Turner Leave a Comment

One of the things I used to love about Technorati was when Dave Sifry would come out with his State of the Blogosphere address to all of us bloggers. It sort of gave us a pie in the sky look at the number of blogs and what was happening on the back end of the blogosphere. Those of us that consider ourselves old timers in the arena could sit back and watch as things began to unfold and we could talk about the good old days. Technorati recently did another State of the Blogosphere that was released at Blog World Expo and CEO Richard Jalichandra was instrumental in getting the word out.

Now there has been a new sphere of influence in new media, and I have been labeling it the micromediasphere. I know that others in my industry like Laura Fitton of Pistachio Consulting who refers to it as “microsharing“, and others are calling it something else like microblogging, but for the most part we are all talking about the likes of Twitter, Jaiku, Plurk, Yammer and up to an including today, Pownce. As of this writing, the folks at Pownce have given their 2 week notice that they are no longer going to be in the game. I know that is a shame for some as they were one company that was well liked by developers and someone that was pushing the others applications to not suck.

I’ll be talking about the State of the Micromediasphere tomorrow on my radio show over at Blog Talk Radio. My show The Social Mediasphere looks into hot topics like these and this is shaping up to be one of those topics. I am hoping to get some guests on the show that can also talk about the State of the Micromediasphere. I am inviting all to participate and give us your opinion and see what we can come up with and how things are looking for the future.

UPDATE: This email just received today from the Pownce people:

We are sad to announce that Pownce is shutting down on December 15, 2008. As of today, Pownce will no longer be accepting new users or new pro accounts.

To help with your transition, we have built an export tool so you can save your content. You can find the export tool at Settings > Export.

Please export your content by December 15, 2008, as the site will not be accessible after this date.

Please visit our new home to find out more:

Our thanks go out to everyone who contributed to the Pownce community,
