I’m unhappy with my blogging…or should I say ‘lack of blogging’.
I haven’t posted in more than a month. I kind of feel like that’s a big no-no in this whole blogging world.
I’m not exactly sure why I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been busy:
- Ran a free webinar with Kathy Yeager on ‘Recession Proofing Your Contract Training Unit’. It went very well, and you can access the presentation on Slideshare here. We’ll be running monthly webinars in 2009! Click here to register for our next free webinar for business (how to optimize your website for conversion.)
- Spoke at the Winchester Society for Human Resources on November 19 and met with some of my partners at Anne Arundel Community College (could be a big event to let you know about in May in the DC area!)
Gave our first international webinar with Belfast Metropolitan College. It was very well received as we broadcast across the Atlantic! Over 35 people were in a room with a big screen as we discussed the power of eMarketing Techniques!
Went back to Virginia for the Virginia Community College System Workforce Development Conference at The Homestead. I delivered a keynote speech and also ran a workshop the following day. It was incredibly fun and I’m pretty sure the participants had a good time and learned a lot. During the workshop we video conferenced in Todd Gibby of Intelliworks, looked at how to leverage several social media sites, and even had a meeting on Second Life to explore how the incredibly young tool could be used in education.
- The next day, we had 2 free eMarketing webinars: one for educators and one for businesses. They both went quite well, with over 60 registrants for each. The first webinar was actually broadcast from GoToWebinar AND Second Life. It was the first time I’ve ever done this, and it went well. The second webinar entitled ‘TwitterVerse’ had a great response with a lot of excellent questions and discussion. We have placed the recording from the business webinar about twitter here.
So obviously, I’ve had plenty to blog about… but I haven’t blogged about it. Why?
Well, I like to put some time into my blog posts. And if I “don’t have the time”, I subconciously choose not to blog. How can I counter this?
I’ve decided that in 2009, I will be calendarizing my blog posts. For the first quarter of 2009, I am going to put blogging time into my calendar. I am going to actually section off an hour every week and a half to spend time strictly on blogging.
I’ve found when my clients do the same, they have success with blogging or social media intiatives. I’m going to go for it and share my findings!
Oh yeah, and I’m reading my new favorite book, Groundswell. What an amazing book! Interested in this whole social media thing? You need to read this book. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the book over the next few months as I slowly digest.
What’s your favorite book on Web 2.0 and social media?
