What I overlooked was that a large part of my business was being done online, and this was a fairly new concept to me. As it is to most of us!

You set up a blog. The design is great, your selected niche is perfect, but … visitors just won’t start rolling in?! Why is that? Thing is, you need to also do SEO. Yeah, I know what you may say.

20 Comments / Blogging Tutorials, Tech / /

I’m a long time fan and supporter of Scoop.it and quite honestly I think it’s the best content curation platform available on the web today. Scoop.it took the initiative to gather together a select group of people who they knew they could count on to provide honest and unselfish feedback. These folks are on top of their game when it comes to content curation and they are passionate and committed to surfacing the most relevant, useful ideas for the topics they care about most.

What Changed My Mind About Triberr and Turned Me Into an Advocate

62 Comments / Social Media / /

Dino Dogan and Dan Cristo have crafted what just might be the perfect social sharing community on Triberr. That says a lot coming from a self-proclaimed Social Media Diva like myself. I’m not going to go into a lot about why I didn’t embrace Triberr when they first launched the site back in 2011 because that’s old news and honestly – who cares about that. It’s water under the bridge and this isn’t about about the history of Triberr and how it has developed into the killer social media app that it is today. But, here’s what I do want to talk about. The state of Triberr today, as I see it and how can it benefit you as a blogger, podcaster, or content marketer.

Twitter is one of the world’s biggest social networks and it’s a powerful platform that can be leveraged to send your blog a lot of highly targeted traffic. But there’s always been a limitation of using only 140 characters in your Tweets. The 140 character limit doesn’t give enough of the space we often need to promote our blog posts. You can only enter a line or two and a link to promote your content. We are allowed a lot more characters for Facebook, and Google+, to share a longer snippet of our content which provides a lot more information to our potential readers. Twitter users have needed more space for a long time and now Twitter has finally responded by introducing Twitter Cards.

5 YouTube SEO Myths That Need to be Exposed

67 Comments / YouTube / /

Since I uploaded my first YouTube video 4 years ago, I’ve been able to rack up over 150,000 views on my channel. When you consider the fact that all of my videos are geeky tutorials and most of them appeal to a tiny segment of the huge demographic of the typical YouTube audience, I’m quite pleased with that achievement. If you want to get serious about having a successful YouTube channel you need to go beyond just using good titles, tags, descriptions, captions, thumbnails and annotations. Of course all of those things are important. I encourage you to go a little deeper and you’ll see that it will pay off in the long run.
