A first-hand account of the frustration of getting Google Grants approval for non-profits, and how that process may have improved under Google for Non-Profits.
In State of the Word, WordPress reports that the WordPress platfrom now powers 14.7% of the top one million websites in the world, up from 8.5%, and that 22 out of every 100 new active domains in the US are running WordPress.
That’s good news from my viewpoint. WordPress is a great platform that not only allows you manage you blog, but you can build your entire website on the WordPress platform. While doing so is not really for dummies, it’s far easier than trying to build your site from scratch.
This post on Social Media Examiner talks about creating a content strategy for social media.
If you think about it, you need a content strategy for anything you do when it comes to marketing your business online. Having a good strategy in place will help keep you on track so you can be sure you’ll have content that’s valued by your prospects throughout the year.
Holy cow! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I actually took the time to write a post for my own blog!
In the meantime, the Facebook Success Summit (#fbss10) has totally come and gone. It was an awesome Summit chock full of info on getting the most out of Facebook for your business. Compared to the Social Media Success Summit earlier this year, I’d peg the Facebook Summit as…

What’s in a name? A strategic partner (copywriting agency) of mine recently agreed to allow me to manage both internal and client online marketing initiatives. But what to call myself?
A Plethora of Options
I had several choices for a suitable title and pitched a few to her. I could be known as the:
Wow. What happened?
I was moving along pretty well there, at least through day 6 of the Social Media Success Summit, then blam! No posts ’til now.
I’ve been busy and the Memorial Day weekend didn’t help, but that’s no excuse. After all, the Summit ended before Memorial Day. I did manage to snag one full day away from the computer though.
At any rate, the Social Media Success Summit 2010 has come and gone. To say I learned a lot would be an understatement. I can now understand the value of conference attendance. It was like a year’s worth of study completed in less than a month.
Day 6 of the 2010 online Social Media Success Summit included 3 more great sessions to help attendees make the most of their social media efforts.
It’s always great when you can hang with guys like Chris Brogan, Brian Clark and Dareen Rowse and Mari Smith’s Facebook presentation was awesome, as expected.
The three sessions were:
- Facebook Engagement: Advanced Strategies for Building a Loyal Fan Base (Mari Smith)
- Using Social News Sites to Grow Your Audience & Improve Your Search Engine Optimization (Muhammad Saleem)
- Twitter Power Panel: Tips & Insights From Twitter Superstars (Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Dareen Rowse)
Day 5 of the 2010 online Social Media Success Summit included 3 more information-packed sessions.
Unfortunately, the last session seemed very rushed (it ended in under 18 minutes) and it was probably a good topic for further discussion.
The three sessions were:
- 8 Steps to Creating a Winning Social Media Strategy
- How Mobile Marketing Can Improve Your Social Marketing
- The Future of Social Media
Day 4 of the 2010 online Social Media Success Summit included 3 informative sessions.
Unfortunately, my PC froze up during the final session, but I did jump back in as soon as I could. I’m confident that I was still able to capture the essence of the final session.
The three sessions were:
- How to Bring Raving Customers to Your Local Business with Foursquare and Groupon
- 5 Social Media Case Studies Worth Close Examination
- Creating Buzz With Social Media Contests
Day 3 of the 2010 online Social Media Success Summit was packed full of information over 3 sessions:
- Getting the Most Out of LinkedIn
- How Whole Foods, Best Buy and Home Depot are Leveraging Social Media
- 3 Reasons You Need a YouTube Strategy
I’ve published a long wrap up post on Market It Write’s blog with the main takeaways of the 3 sessions. It wasn’t really too easy to summarize the panel discussion that talked about how Whole Foods, Best Buy and Home Depot are using social media because I thought there was too much important first-hand information that really shouldn’t be left out.
