How NOT to Connect and Market on LinkedIn

LinkedIn can be a great tool, but please don’t waste my time LinkedIn is a great business networking tool. I’ve found great resources through it, and some of my best clients discovered me on LinkedIn. But recently, in the span of less than two days, I had two people who offer book marketing services send [...]

The Problem with Viral Videos

I would love for one (or more) of our videos to “go viral” but I’m not willing to put anyone at risk of physical harm to do that. And when someone needs help, my first thought is to help—not to video. We’ve all seen plenty of stupid stunt videos. That’s not what prompted this rant. [...]

I’m in the mood to rant … A while back, someone I didn’t know sent me a friend request on Facebook. When I get those requests, I check out the individual’s profile to see who they are, what they do, what kinds of things they post and if we have any friends in common, and [...]

Use Free Images from the Internet at Your Own Risk

You’re getting ready to post a blog and you need an image. You’re in a hurry, so you do a Google search on “free images for blogs.” And you get 371 million results, but not all of those sources are for photos that are really free--and few meet your needs. So you try again, searching [...]
