Why Tweets aren’t enough
I’ll admit I’ve been sucked into the Twitter world. So much so, that I have to limit my time on it to once every few hours. Hey, some people get coffee breaks or cigarette breaks… I get Twitter breaks. I … Continue reading

I was going to write about this later…
But with 2009 quickly approaching, I thought I should share the latest tool in combating procrastination: www.stickk.com.
You can go to the site to set goals and report on milestones and developments. You can even bet on yourself. A handy dandy referee (assigned yourself) has to verify your accomplishments via email.
If you don’t live up to your resolution, you’re not only humiliated with a “failure” status – you have to buck up the money to the charity, organization or person of your choice. Continue reading

All the cool kids are doing it
When I first started blogging… it was mostly for giggles. I wasn’t really sure that it was useful or even that much fun. Then I started to see the hits to my site. People from all over the world started commenting on my posts. And I realized that some people are interested in seeing things from my point of view (crazy, I know!).
As the end of the 4th quarter approaches – a year after “official recession-dom” – everyone is talking about blogs. How they’re free… search-engine friendly… and extremely effective for creating two-way communication.

Online marketing for job searches
Just posted on my Resume Rehab blog about a woman who is looking for a job using a t-shirt with her resume printed on it.
Too bad when I tried to look for her online to find out more, she didn’t have a web site, online resume, Linked In, blog, Facebook page… nothing.
Given the fact that the Internet has taken over the world of marketing (and most of the world, in general) is it possible for a successful marketer to have a virtually non-existent web presence?
Doesn’t seem like a very effective personal marketing plan to me. Continue reading

Guns N’ Sodas
No one craves caffeinated beverages like Guns N’ Roses fans.
That’s why when Dr. Pepper teamed up with Guns N’ Roses to offer a free Dr. Pepper soft drink for every American fan in honor of the release of the first GN’R album in 17 years. In the first 24 hours after the release of Chinese Democracy, fans inundated the Dr. Pepper web site.
Then the Dr. Pepper site crashed and fans got ticked off.
Not only did they get mad at Dr. Pepper for the site crash, they got mad at GN’R. Talk about a sales promotion gone wrong. Continue reading

Who needs TV or even TiVo?
I know lots of people who swear by their Tivo and even more that religiously plop down in front of the boob tube every week to watch their favorite shows. I am sure even know some who record their shows … Continue reading →
