[Infographic] Social Media Explained (With Coffee)
This is from Marketplace Maven and it’s dated 2012, but since I never saw it before I will assume some of you haven’t either. Even if this is old news to you, it might be very useful to others – possibly even clients… especially if they are just dipping their toes into the social pond, or […]
MAXIMIZE Your Tweets [infographic]
This infographic is based upon the e-Book Strategies for Effective Tweeting: A Statistical Review which you can download for FREE here.

QR Codes Make Primetime TV: The Good, The BAD, And The OMG!
Politics and the gargantuan ego of Donald Trump aside, I do like watching The Apprentice. I liked it better when real people were contestants, but since the last few seasons have casted “celebrities” I take what I can get. My interest in the show is marketing based, though admittedly the boardroom scenes can provide a […]
Will Google’s Algorithms Drive Dollars Back To Print?

Go Green, Go Paperless, Isnt Just About Google
Make no mistake, the vested financial interest in “Go Green, Go Paperless” claims far outweigh any self-proclaimed eco-friendliness. Whether it is to sell digital/cloud products and services, or have you switch to electronic statements to save on printing and postage, dollars are the only green thing here. Paperless is not the issue. Digital and cloud […]
Going Guerrilla Against Google's #Paperless2013 Campaign
When I first read about Google’s “Go Paperless in 2013” campaign I have to admit it didn’t bother me. It isn’t an anti-print industry stance or a direct attack on the paper industry. It’s a marketing campaign to promote the use of the cloud, and purchase cloud and other e-services from their partners – […]
