Thanks to Week 70 SOBs

February 24, 2007 by Liz

Successful and Outstanding Bloggers

Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,

and the right to call themselves
Successful Blog SOBs.

I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank every one of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this SOB button’s validity, send him or her directly to me. This award comes with a full “Liz said so” guarantee. It is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

Want to become an SOB?

If you’re an SO-Wanna-B, you can see the whole list of SOBs and learn how to be one by visiting the SOB Hall of Fame. Click the link or visit the What IS an SOB?! page in the sidebar.

Branding, Self-Promotion, Selling: Are You OverDoing?

February 5, 2007 by Liz

It’s Easier to Write About Someone Else

Whether we work in a traditional enterprise, work in a boutique shop with a handful of people, work alone or work at a hobby, such as blogging, we need a goal to channel our investment, to direct it toward gains, to have the energy and time required to stretch and free ourselves.

Yet even when we choose productivity, to work totally alone without employee or employer, we’re still interacting with people who have myriad needs. We meet with others who have myriad needs of their own and we actively listen to take them on as our own.

If we do it well, we will gain credibility, if we miss the mark, we actually harm some part of the relationship. Relationships may be more difficult than editing this page. just forming. We know those times well, when we try too hard to convince others of our brand, apologize for our writing, ask links instead of earning them, or quote text when we should analyze.

Each day this week we’ll discuss one way we touch those we meet in business and in our personal lives. We’ll look at how branding, personal branding, self-promotion, and selling form the big picture of our image.

We’ll look at case studies and use each of our own core competencies to discuss how we might improve our interactions in each case.

We’ll begin tomorrow with the thought that all relationships are imagined and constructed within us and as such we can have an impact on how they work.

But you might start listening around the blogopshere for examples you see of branding, self-promotion, and sales today.
