I set a goal of creating 100 interviews at this year’s Blogworld.
I went to a couple of pre-event parties and started using QIK from my cell phone last night. The camera has outstanding video quality, and for the most part, the sound is pretty good.
From past experience, I know there will be at least 100 blogger that will have a quick tip for other bloggers, authors who want to market a book to best seller (some best selling authors are in also speakers here) and will have other tips and idea from thought leaders in many areas.
I’ll post some here, most will be live on my QIK channel and others will be on blogs I write for. If the technology works, you’ll some right below this paragraph
I’ve been putting off doing a “page” on Facebook for as long as they’ve been around.
Fist off, I hated the term “fan page” from the start. I don’t want to be seen as a guy looking to get “fans” or establish myself as a guru.
Trouble is, the limits to connections on Facebook have kept me for interacting with more people and the “page” technology is perfect for allowing the loose connections with good stuff that I support and promote for authors and businesses.
Why I’m Setting Up a PAGE on Facebook
I’ve been playing with a page for the listeners of Profitable Social Media radio for the past few weeks and advises clients to set up page for every book and business.
After all, Facebook as over 400 million readers, pages have grown from 5 to 20 million in the past few months. This is where your readers are expecting to see you.
Today, I logged into Facebook and saw this at the top of my page:
Introducing the Like button
Starting today people will be able to connect with your Page by clicking “Like” rather than “Become a Fan.” We hope this action will feel much more lightweight, and that it will increase the number of connections made across the site
I like being liked!
Watch for the announcement and links to my page here. I’ll be sure to put gobs of great new information on that page.. that’s the best way to grow a community.. GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT.
In the mean time, if you haven’t got a page already.. got get one. If you are technically challenged, let me know and I’ll direct you to some of the wonderful people we have doing Facebook pages.
Do you have a page? Comment below and let me know.
I just edited some comments on my Twitter Handbook blog (where we update reader of “Twitter Revolution: How Social Media and Mobile Marketing is Changing the Way We Do Business & Market Online”) and found this

This has got to be the best jumbo pile of nothingness I’ve read in a long time.
I was tempted to leave on the blog.. it says so little with so much
I’ve been experimenting with a couple of tools that bridge databases to make it easier to reach friends and contacts where they want to be reached.
We’ll have an update on this weeks Social Media Radio Show.. including some stats on what social networks have the best connections and how one site promises to get 43% of your email list to open an email (unheard of on some mailing lists today).
With Facebook opening profiles to the search engines by default, this is going to get easier. I think that soon we’ll be able to talk directly to a contact in exactly the way they want to hear from us.. Text, Tweet, Post or Email. In the mean time, let’s make it easier to show where we want to be reached.
BusinessCard2 is trying to do that. I just updated my entry. You can get your own there free.
I’ll be in Florida this weekend. If you are near Tampa, come by the even where I’m speaking and let’s Tweet up. I’ll been meeting with clients part of the time, but if you are attending the event, I’m sure we’ll have time for a chat.
