Thinking Strategically: Goals
This week I want to take the time to talk about thinking strategically. I am going to take a little more general approach and cover some broader concepts when thinking about social media. Seeing how some people and companies use social media it is obvious to see that they don’t have a strategy behind what they are doing. Now I know some people are going to push back and say …

Moving To A Multi-Author Blog Is Easier Said Than Done

For years I created content five days a week but lately I just can’t churn out the content that I used to be able to. Not wanting to downshift because the site has continued to …

One of the biggest fears I have with social media is that the time that I put into content creation could backfire and I could lose everything… every blog post, every picture, every link I have shared, and every video I have created.

Getting A Grasp On My Facebook Account
I have been pretty good about splitting most of my social media accounts between my personal world and my professional world. Actually I should say between my humor website and my professional website, the only place they really collide is on Facebook. Lately I have been getting a lot of people requesting to add me on there professionally and I don’t want to give them access to my entire life. …

Leverage Multiple Social Networks Using Strategy, Tools, and Preferences
There are so many social media sites out there and so many different people using them. Trying to participate on them all is next to impossible. But selectively choosing to participate on certain networks and outright ignoring some might not be the best strategy for you. You may be missing out on connecting with potential/current readers or customers. So where does that leave you? For most people they end up …

It Is Okay To Be Wrong In Social Media
When studies are released about the adoption of social media one of the biggest reasons that give people pause or cause them to fear using it is that they or an employee could make a misstep and hurt their company. It is a reasonable concern when you have worked for years to build a company into what it is. Personally though I look at being wrong or making a misstep …

WordCamp Chicago Recap
Last weekend I headed out to the Windy City for WordCamp Chicago where I presented on how to turn WordPress into your social media hub. Below is my deck from the presentation (admittedly not the sexiest Power Point in the world) but I think there is some solid information in there.
