SOB Buttons and Directory Update

January 13, 2006 by Liz

The SOB Directory and other pages are under construction. New Pictures. New Presentations. I thought it best to keep the Directory undercover until I got more of your bios in. So start sending them . . . . hint, hint, grin. 🙂

The SOB Button Still Exists

If you are an official SOB and need a new one. Here you go.

By the way, please feel free to adjust the size to fit your blog design. We want SOBs to have Successful and Outstanding Blog Designs too.

If you’re anxious to become an SOB, just link a post to share it with your readers. Write about it to add value to the conversation, and email me at lizsun2@gmail.com with a link to your post.
That’s all there is to it.

More New Features Are Coming

So hang in there. The fun is just starting. Some really strong articles are coming too.
We’re becoming a Magazine AND a Community for Outstanding and Successful Bloggers

Introducing Cottontimer

January 11, 2006 by Liz

SOB Directory Entry: Cottontimer by Hsien-Hsien Lei

Type: Personal Blog by Professional Blogger who Smiles

Cottontimer, aka Hsien-Hsien Lei, is a professional blogger writing about science, health, and parenting. Cotton-Pickin’ Days is a personal blog about her life and work. The main focus is on Hsien’s nearly 10 years of living as an expat in Asia and Europe.

Notes from Liz: The word professional is not an overstatement in any way when talking about Hsien-Hsien or her writing. She’s a blogger other bloggers look up to and try to emulate. I know I do. Her writing is a reflection of who she is strong, warm, incredibly well-informed, and easy to take. In fact, I’d take her home with me if she lived closer.

Introducing Simplenomics

January 10, 2006 by Liz

SOB Directory Entry: Simplenomics by Mike Sigers

Categories: Sales, Marketing, Entertainment

Simplenomics, written by Mike Sigers, is trying to give the world a look at how to use common sense to get more out of your sales, marketing, advertising and management efforts. Mike’s not for sale at any price, so don’t ask for consultation time. Well, you can ask, but send money first.

Notes from Liz: I swear that Mike’s directory listing was in my email before I even posted the announcement about the SOB Directory. I’m not sure how he knows things so quickly. It was Mike’s idea, you know, that SOBs should get buttons for their blogs.

Maybe Mike and I are really the same person. I’ve never seen us in one room at the same time. Hmmmm.

Announcing the SOB Directory

January 9, 2006 by Liz

To All SOBs and All SO-Wanna-Bs

Successful Blog is not just getting a new design. It’s changing to become even more focused on success, community, and our readers. That means you’ll be seeing content changes and new content features as well as spiffy new design and production values.

I’m prepared to announce the first change right this minute.

Though the old Successful and Outstanding Blogger page is still under cover. It’s now also undergoing a change of it’s own. No longer will it just carry a simple list of links as an honor roll.

Announcing the SOB Directory

As a service to our readers and our community, we’re turning this page into a directory. Each Successful and Outstanding Blogger’s link will expand to carry both the blog logo and a description of the content readers will find when they visit your blog. So the SOB directory entry for my business blog would look like this.

ME Strauss skews the world wondering about crayons, conformity,heroes, yo-yos, idiosyncrasies, and that person reading the paper at Starbucks. Enjoy storytelling that brings back memories.

What to Do

If you’re already an SOB, send me your blog description. I’m happy to do the rest. You surely have one that you’ve used for some directory listing hiding on your computer somewhere. Take it out and dust it off. No worries about your logo. Unless you want to switch the one I have. (The logo restriction is 60 pixels high.) Then e-mail me at lizsun2@gmail.com.

If you’re an SO-Wanna-B, take a post home with you to share Successful-Blog ideas with your readers.
Just link to that post on this blog and write your own insights to “add value” to the conversation.
Then e-mail me at lizsun2@gmail.com with a link to your post.

That’s all there is to it. I’ll feature your logo with a link and you’ll get your SOB badge for your blog. Then your logo will be part of our new directory.

OR contribute an outstanding idea about how we might add value for readers to Successful- Blog.

Even more exciting changes that serve your needs are sitting right there on the horizon. Can you see them yet?
