Tim Martin – All roads lead to your website

 0 Shares
Tweet

If you’ve ever wanted a hands-on course for getting started with social media, Tim Martin is your man.  He runs great courses and is a popular speaker.

I’ve been following Tim on Twitter for many years and had the pleasure of catching up with him in Melbourne recently.  I also got to interview him about the importance of a website.

Here is what Tim shared with me:

My name is Tim Martin and I’m the principal presenter for NET:101.

What’s the importance of a website?

Well essentially, my view of these things, is that all roads lead to Rome and Rome is your website.…

Responsive Web Design vs Separate Mobile Site – Which is right for you?

 0 Shares
Tweet

Updated on November 26th, 2019

Responsive Web Design

It’s been obvious for a while now that mobile internet use is on the rise. In fact some estimates suggest that as early as 2013, more people will use mobile devices to access the internet than desktop computers.

It’s equally obvious that if you’re building a website now, you need to think about accommodating mobile users.

Until recently (or to be more precise, until this article by Ethan Marcotte in May 2010), accommodating mobile users meant creating a separate mobile version of your content.…

I’m married…how do I change my name on Facebook and LinkedIn?

Angela's Wedding

Updated on July 8th, 2013

Has your name changed? Mine has.

After walking down the aisle in September, I’ve just started the massive task of changing my name everywhere. I’m sure most women (like me) don’t realise how big this task will be until they actually start the process. Bank accounts, phone, electricity, drivers licence….the list goes on.

But, these days we also have social media to deal with. How on earth do you change your name on Facebook and LinkedIn? I’ve just figured a couple of these things out and have some basic steps below.…

Marc Lehmann Interview – How Saasu use the web for their business

 0 Shares
Tweet

Updated on December 3rd, 2019

Marc Lehmann – Saasu insights.

Over the last few years, we’ve moved our business tools away from software and increasingly into the cloud.

I love the idea of the cloud:

  1. accessing information from anywhere
  2. allowing our workforce to be mobile
  3. all the data backed up.

The ease of use and simplicity of design that typifies these applications is the icing on the cake. As is the ability to share data across them.

The search and constant involvement with the web eventually lead us to discovering Saasu which we now use as our web based accounting tool, along with a bunch of others.…

News jacking – how to hijack a news story

 0 Shares
Tweet

My favourite marketing author David Meerman Scott has just released a new book today called Newsjacking.  Well it’s not literally a book as we used to know them.  It’s  only available as an instant digital download on Kindle or iPad, not as a printed version.

Newsjacking
is term David uses to describe the practice of high jacking a news story.  It is done by astute marketers who publish real-time content that fuels a reporter’s desire for a unique angle on a breaking story.

The result:
tons of media coverage, worth a fortune, that would normally be completely impossible to obtain.…

My take on The New Rules of Marketing & PR 3rd edition

 0 Shares
Tweet

Updated on November 24th, 2019

When David Meerman Scott wrote the first edition of The New Rules of Marketing & PR,  Twitter didn’t exist and Facebook was only used by uni students.

Haven’t times changed since 2007?

Yes, we’ve seen social media sites like Facebook and Twitter explode and some like MySpace, implode.  I agree certainly that internet years are like dog years!

I like how David explains the old rules. There used to be three ways to get attention.

1. Buy it (adverts)
2. Beg for it (press releases)
3.…

How to make things happen FAST – #1 tip from Scott Belsky

 0 Shares
Tweet

If you want to know how to get things done, then Scott Belsky, CEO of Behance, is your man.

A good friend of ours Liz Watson, gave us the heads up on Scott’s presentation for Portable Talks when Adam was reading Scott’s book “Making Ideas Happen“. It was great timing and a fantastic presentation. Personally I believe in the adage: ideas are 1%, execution is 99% and Scott has dedicated his time to the 99%. His presentation ranged across all sorts of techniques from checklists, through to meeting patterns and technologies – all focussed on the execution of ideas.…

How can we use the Web to build an Engaged Culture? – Interview with Marcus Child

 0 Shares
Tweet

Tuesday and Wednesday this week were like a business improvement bootcamp!

Adam and I went along to another great Verne Harnish Rockefeller Habits event put on by The Growth Faculty on Tuesday and sat next to Derek Hodge, a TEC (The Executive Connection) Group Chair.

With a full day of Verne under our belts and sharing ideas, Derek invited me to join him the next day for a TEC presentation by Marcus Child (@digitalmarcus) titled “Leading an Engaged Culture”.

What a cracking few hours! Marcus was incredibly energetic as a presenter with great practical ideas around leadership and staff engagement, not to mention some incredible results to report.…

Alien Host Vs Hosting (the reality)

Updated on November 26th, 2019

Alien Host Vs Hosting

Ten weeks after starting at Bluewire Media and I am starting to feel like I have some clue about the crazy world of web. If you asked my colleagues they would still call me a rank amateur but in my head I am moving ahead in leaps and bounds.

I have always been an avid user of the web, but understanding the nuts and bolts about how it actually functions was as foreign as an alien language. In fact, considering the possibility that there was some mothership in outer space, run by freaky little aliens who used some awesome energy source to store and transfer the information… We are now sharing across the globe in an instant, was not so far-fetched for me.…

Project Budget Tips

 0 Shares

We all want a beautiful, unique, functional website for our business but many of us have no real idea what it might cost to get one. While not always fun, talking dollars and cents will act as a reality check on the scope of your website design project.

Whether you’re building from scratch or upgrading a current website, it’s important to have some understanding of website pricing and the various elements that can affect price. This will allow you to be ready to adapt if need be, once you send for quotes.…

SHARING IS CARING

Did your Mummy teach you to share?

Here’s hoping she did because in the new world of marketing on the web, sharing is key. When I started working at Bluewire Media the first thing I noticed was how much “stuff” they gave away — I’m talking seriously helpful information, expert knowledge and wisdom, practical advice and guidance on all things web, just given away. Free! I don’t know about you but I thought I was living in a world where nothing comes for free.

Here is the conversation that repeated regularly in my first few weeks until it sunk into my thick skull.…
