6 Building Blocks for Social Media In Business
September 1st, 2009 at 10:44 pm by Livvie
“Where do you start?” is a question Chris Brogan says he’s asked quite often when helping a company market using social media tools.Â
Social media can seem a large, even overwhelming task to undertake with all the social networking sites, blogging, and applications that could be involved, not to mention the time. What do you do, which way do you go?
Sadly many attempt entering the social media scene by just “jumping in” without any direction or plan.  But, as with building anything there has to be a plan and that plan starts with a solid foundation on which to build.
Read Chris’ post, The Building Blocks of Social Media for Business, as he presents and expands on a list of 6 basic building blocks needed for social media marketing for your business. Do you have a building block to add?

So What If It’s Not The Best Ever Blog Post?
August 4th, 2009 at 9:51 pm by Livvie
I’ve just finshed reading The Most Horrible Blog Post Ever on Copyblogger posted by Michelle Russell of Practice Makes Imprefect. She explores the perils of perfectionism.
I can so relate to this and how it feels. I have had so many ideas, good ideas, but just when it came down to the final step….I needed to “add this” or “change that”, or “just tweak it a little more”.Â
I “tweaked” it until I tweaked it out! It was never quite right. The result was, it never got completed or published.
A perfect example is I could have been on the Internet years before I actually started, but I managed to “analyze” myself right out of it.Â
Until I “published” my frist website and my first ezine, I had only completed three things in my life…Sandra, Susan, and Stacey…my three daughters .
We’re of the opinion it has to be “perfect” before we can actually begin whatever it is we’re trying to do.
