SSS for Success: Simplified Social Media Solutions

Social Media Made Easy

Pardon the Dust: This Site is Under Re-Construction

By 2 Comments

Under ConstructionIn keeping up with the trends in the Web 2.0 world (which is ever-rapidly changing into the Web 3.0 world), I’m making some changes to my blog by combining my company’s website with this blog, so that it’s now all in one place, instead of two different locations.

What this will mean for you is a more streamlined site, which will hopefully make it easier for us to interact with one another as I work on my “2.0 revision” of my online and social media outlets, providing a first-hand example of what it’s like to navigate the Web 2.0 world.

Our Social Media Training Classes will differ from the consulting we provide, in that the classes are geared towards the do-it-yourselfer/cash-strapped entrepreneur whose budget can’t quite afford Social Media Consulting at this stage.  Our sessions will differ from other Social Media Classes, because we’ll focus on an action-oriented model that will mean you’ll be ready to implement what you’ve learned in the class by the end of it!

Help Me Construct a Blogging Workbook

By 6 Comments

I’d like to ask for your help in constructing a Blogging Workbook.  I recently created a series called “Blogging for Success”, where I help bloggers (and aspiring bloggers) come up with great content that attracts new and returning visitors to your blog.  So far, I’ve added the 7 Tips to Blogging Successfully, as well as How to Create Great Blog Content and 7 Tips for generating a blog calendar.  Blogs and Blogging | RSS icon | SSS for Success - Blogging for Success WorkbookI want to make sure that I’m not just operating in a bubble using only my own experience and what I’ve learned as my only guiding light, so for that reason, I am asking for your help in constructing a blogging workbook that can help other bloggers get to generating great content and sticking with it.

Whenever I create a Branded Blog for a company, I include a Blogging Tutorial specifically designed around the primary blogger’s level of expertise.  One thing that I’m noticing consistently is that people who aren’t naturally gifted writers or speakers are getting stuck at some point between their ideas and actual blog posts, so I’d like to build a blogging workbook that helps bloggers get past that impasse.

It’s very clear that no one these days has enough time, so what I’d like to do is construct an instrument that can help blog writers get the most out of the time they do spend building their blog content and audience.  I’m looking for people at all skill levels, from novices to experts, and even people that are just thinking about Blogging, but either aren’t sure where to start, or can’t find the time to fit it into their schedule.  You can help me by filling out this brief survey and telling me about your blogging experience (or lack thereof), or filling out this contact form and put “Blogging Workbook” in the subject line and drop a note that will help me get pointed in the right direction.  You can also give me a call (615-336-4325), or if you use Skype, you can find me if you see me online.  My Skype ID is: Kindra.Cotton and you can check the icon below to see if I’m currently online.

So, are you thinking about blogging? Have you tried it? What might help you get ahead in the process of getting it done?  Reach out and let me know what’s on your mind.

By the way, as a Thank You for your help in constructing the Blogging for Success Workbook, I will provide a complimentary digital copy of it to you for any help that you provide in creating a better resource for current and aspiring bloggers.
