Writing Again

After what seemed like an endless amount of moving (both personal and professional) over the past 3 months, I've finally had time to start writing again. I'm working on a series of articles on social media do's and don'ts that I'll share here as they are published. I'm also working on the beginnings of my fourth non-fiction book, which should come together nicely once it's fully outlined.

For those writers out there, now is the time to get things done, as the fall seems to bring with it so many new distractions. At least that's what I keep telling myself these days.

Create Your Own Twitter Contest

I’m ready to give something away on Twitter, I just don’t know what yet. Got any ideas? If so, comment on this post below with your contest idea, if your idea is selected I’ll send you a autographed copy of my new book Strange Business, and a $50 Best Buy gift card.

So what should we giveaway? How should we do it? Remember, it’s got to include Twitter in some fashion. Comment away!

Back From The Beach

172

After a restful and productive week at the beach I’m back, and there is a lot of exciting things bubbling in the company pot right now.

Here are just a few things going on right now-

We’re moving into a new office space in the next 2 weeks, more info on that later, hopefully this will be the last move for while. There is some interesting options out there, so my goal of bringing this business more public could be reached in the near future.

New Twitter services, nobody can deny Twitter is an all out movement on the internet, and we are creating services at breakneck speed to help you get the most out of the service. Stay tuned for everything from a contest service that guarantees everyone wins, to a niche service for restaurateurs that want to harness social networks to promote what they’re cooking. Tasty!

Crowdsourced book revisions. I’ve been tinkering with this concept for a year now, and it’s almost ready to launch. For those that author books this service will change the way you get feedback from people on your work. I’ve already committed two of my upcoming titles to this method as a way to test it out, and all I can say is, wow. It’s coming soon.

Changes in our submission services. We’re going to adjust some of our article submission services to better suit our customer needs, this will count eliminating some services that people aren’t using, and juicing up others that have been very popular in recent years.

Affiliates, we’re working on it. We had an outstanding response to our call for affiliates a few weeks back, we’re sorting through all the information and working on developing a program now.

As the heat starts to really amp up in the month of July I feel like it’s energizing our business with productivity fueled innovation, I know a major breakthrough is in our near future, hopefully you’ll be there with us when it occurs.

Headed to St George Island

Leave it to me to mix business with pleasure on a holiday as widely celebrated as July 4th. I’ll be out of the office from 7/4 to 7/11 visiting what I hear to be the very pet friendly St George Island, Florida.

I actually own a site, St George Island Florida.org that gets some significant traffic, and as obvious by it’s appearance is in need of some serious fresh content.

I plan on taking a bunch of pictures and videos that I’ll share with you all on the SGI site. I hope everyone enjoys a thunderous 4th of July celebration, that is as safe as it is fun.
