Blogging Workshop – what an event!

Wow! I am almost lost for words! We gave our first hands-on workshop at the MDDA yesterday morning. It was designed to be a taster, for the uninitiated, to the wonders of blogging and the feedback so far has been fantastic. In all honesty, I was a little nervous going into the event. Despite having held several seminars before, they were never quite as interactive as the ones we did yesterday – and by providing everybody with a computer, you always run the risk of people getting distracted. But, the enthusiasm for learning was incredible and once everybody was at least a little familiar with the interface (we used blogger for the workshop) people really got into it. Rather than just create blogs for blogs sake, we got everybody thinking about what they were going to write about, the tone with which they were going to write and the audience to whom it was aimed. Ok, so some of the blogs may well be in the virtual waste bin today, but at least people are thinking about the essentials before embarking on a blog launch. Anyway, have a look at the video – and yes, that is a pink shirt I am wearing http://www.vimeo.com/1917422

Social Media Marketing – my Blogging for Business slides

As some of you already know, we are putting on a seminar in London on Tuesday entitled Social Media Marketing – and there are some great speakers attending. Dave Kinsella (aka @Tech0tic) will be kicking things off with an overview of Social Media, what to do, what not to do, and covering an area of much interest for me – social media metrics. Next up is Neville Hobson who we are again, delighted to have to share his insight into how social media is/has/will affect PR. Then, we have the guys behind the LG Blog, Dan and Chris from Outside Line will be shedding some light on the thinking and activity behind the LG blog… …and yours truly will be talking about blogs and blogging as a business communication tool as well as looking at buzz monitoring. I am really looking forward to this one – we have got a FULL HOUSE and surpassed all previous bookings which means that people are really waking up to the potential of social media! If you are coming and you are on Twitter, DM me, @ me or just give me a call. In the meantime, my amended presentation is below:
