It starts with ideas
clicking keys, words in text,
audio, images, and video
connecting like minds.
Then we find
we’re connecting
online and offline communities.

Would you add 25 words of your own?

The 25 Words of Social Media Wisdom Project

Will you accept my invitation to put 25 words of Social Media advice or wisdom into a blog post? Here’s how you might go about it.

  1. Look for some social media thing you see too much or too little of.
  2. Write a sentence about it.
  3. Count the words you have written.
  4. Edit the sentence until you have 25 words exactly. Notice how your idea changes as you edit and how your feelings change with each rewrite.
  5. Add a picture if you can.
  6. Post your 25 words on your blog by July 31st.
  7. Link back to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section. I don’t want to miss yours when I compile all of them.

It will be my challenge to a creative way to connect all of the ideas together. In a giant “25 words of Social Media Wisdom” blog post, featuring what you wrote.

Are you in? Surely you have 25 words to spare for this one.

You might remember that we’ve done this before …

Social Media and Book Deals with The White Trash Mom

So you don’t have to be trashy to write a book called “The White Trash Mom,” but it helps if you know a little about how to get down. It also helps if you can find your way around social media if you want to get the book sold.

Michelle Lamar did both. We’ll be talking to her about just those things tonight.

Oh, and bring example links and bring some perspective!

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic Is On: We're Talking about the Best Online Moments Evah!!

by


It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

The Unexpected Good Surprise of Being Here

A friend across the planet says something meaningful. A hero comments on something we’ve written. A new client signs up. We laugh out loud at something unexpected and fun!

Online life can be the best. Let’s talk about the one in a million moments that touched our lives.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links.
