Welcome to the SOB Cafe

We offer the best in thinking–articles on the business of blogging written by the Successful and Outstanding Bloggers of Successful Blog. Click on the titles to enjoy each selection.

The Specials this Week are

All Things Workplace features a description we might find familiar.
Helped orient you to your job
By “orient,” you mean get my photo IDs and have me sign a bunch of papers, then yes…otherwise, that would’ve been the actual people in my dept.

Systemic HR: This From The Real Workplace

Connected Content features an explanation we could all us.
Too many folks, not just tech writers, work for companies that seem caught in an endless loop of misdirection and no direction. They have processes and flowcharts that, while detailed, don’t always reflect what’s actually having to be done on a day-to-day basis…many times at management’s own instruction.

Why Tech Writers Feel Like Bartleby The Scrivener

David Bullock features a look at the order of stuff.
Are you checking the right things in the wrong order and not getting the results that you want?
Too many times when I speak to clients, they are using the right tool at the wrong time.

Understanding Sequencing: Optimizing Your Sales Process Correctly

Thomas R. Clifford features a way to test stickiness.
I think you’ll have fun taking this little quiz. I did! The “The Stickiness Aptitude Test,” or SAT, was designed by The Heath Brothers and Guy Kawasaki.

Are Your Ideas Sticky? Take This Test

Lives Less Ordinary features another view.
The images above are all taken through the viewfinder of my children’s kaleidoscope. Every time I slightly adjust the kaleidoscope, the patterns change. The components remain the same, but the view alters radically.

Meme: Passion Quilt - Kaleidoscopic

Best of Mother Earth features a new natural attitude supplement.
In the land of what I do best, I sort all that hype and gobbly gook and help my clients figure out what might be a fit for them. I like everyone to feel that they actually know why this stuff is going into their body.

Attitude Vitamin “B” Happy

Related ala carte selections include

Chris Brogan features new beginnings.
Start at your own pace, and go as slowly as you need to for you to feel comfortable getting to understand all these services, but here is a list . . .

Starting Points for Online Presence

Sit back. Enjoy your read. Nachos and drinks will be right over. Stay as long as you like. No tips required. Comments appreciated.

    Hi Liz, I’ve been away too long. I am so pleased to see the buzz on SobCON and the success you, and your ’social/business’ ideas have had over the past year.

    Enjoy the conference and best of luck for the coming year.
