Blogger A Day Call: Hello is Ann there?

They say content is king. But I hear the king can be unmanageable. If you’re having a content management problem, do what I did yesterday, call in a content management expert — Ann Michael. Gosh we had fun talking. I’ve been making content all of my career, and I hadn’t met a content manager until Ann. They do some really cool stuff.

In her consulting business, Ann makes sure that misbehaving intellectual property does what it should. Talk to her for five minutes, and you’ll know her real love is helping clients manage change successfully. She’s so positive and centered on the needs of others that you want to check where you might use her this very minute. She says she hasn’t ever had to turn anyone away yet . . .

Ann’s a fascinating person with a sense humor, and a great laugh. Ask her a question and you can hear her thinking how she’s going to help you solve it. It’s so fun that we took this time to talk blogger to blogger.

B.A.D. Blogger Quote

“Strategy without action is just philosophy.” — Ann Michael

I Want to Call You a B.A.D. Blogger! Wanna Be One?

I've been thinking . . .
It all started when I went to Blogher and met up with Sabine Kirstein, and we met up with Janice Myint. I found out what it’s like to converse in real time with bloggers. It was an invigorating experience.

After that, I went to Seth’s seminar in NYC with Ann Michael. I talked to Joe Hauckes when my plane was delayed. I met Phil Gerbyshak for his speaking gig in Chicago. All in all, I’ve talked to some 50 other bloggers. To a person, the bloggers I’ve met are cool, vibrant people. I learned something from every one of them.

So I’ve decided to form a B.A.D. habit.

I Want to Call You a B.A.D. Blogger

i’m calling a Blogger A Day every day. I’d like to do a voice chat with you. Would you like a call? I’d like to get to know who you are, what you do, and tell you a little about me too.

It’s one more way to link up the blogosphere. It’s one more way that we can get smarter. It’s a way we can take blogging to the next level. It’s a way you and I can meet to say a real “hello.”

After we talk, I’ll call you a B.A.D. Blogger and I’ll post a word and link on Successful-Blog. It’ll be fun. It’ll also be great promotion for you and your blog.

Here’s what to do.

  1. Write an e-mail to me at lizsun2@gmail.com.
  2. Put Call Me a B.A.D. Blogger in the subject line.
  3. Include the following information in your message:
    a number or Skype contact to call (Int’l has to be VoIP)
    your location on the planet and good times to call.

I’ll email you before I call to make sure you’ll be around. Of course, the only one who reads my email is me.

I’m calling a blogger a day from now on. With some 57 million blogs indexed at Technorati. I figure I should be able to find at least one blogger a day who’s willing to talk.

What do you say? Do you wanna be a B.A.D. Blogger?

Send me an e-mail now. So I can arrange the call. I’d sure like to meet you for a conversation.
