I have been traveling quite a bit lately and that has caused me to get seriously behind on a large amount of work that I need to accomplish. I have finally caught up with my email inbox which usually hovers around 60 unread messages at any given time, which usually equates to the amount of [...]

Crazy Times For Social Media and Patience is Virtuous
I have seen quite a shift recently in the way that companies are handling their social media needs. I am seeing companies that before only though social media was a fad and that it was the marketing gimmick du jour, are now embracing the idea that this new type of online participation is here to [...]
A Test For Monetizing Your Blog With Qumana
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 [...]

Ok but the real cost (again unlike the traditional media stuff) is in Content Creation to fill up those social media / new media channels – here is where the [...]
Effective Social Media: Shouting or Listening?
One of the things I struggle with at times with clients or potential clients is explaining the idea of effective social media versus that social media called “spam” to everyone else. There is always a fine line between what some consider spam, sort of the “black hat social media”, and what others consider effective marketing, [...]
Can You Be Found? Social Media Helps You Get Noticed
I was just reading a recent research article on the idea that nearly 80% of adults have purchased something online [pdf of report] in the last 6 months. I at first questioned the idea that I was in the group of people they refer to, no not because I am not adult, although that [...]
