People, please have Google Analytics installed on your website. I thought this goes without saying. But I’m finding it doesn’t. Don’t you want to know how many people are looking at your site? Where they are coming from? What they are looking at? I thought so. I want to thank Adria Saracino for guest posting for me […]
Why Simple Really is Better in your Messaging
Today, I’d like to share a story about treating your newbie market with care and why it’s important to dumb your message down for the masses. I’m working on getting wine labels printed for a client. (And when I say “client” I actually mean my amazing husband who is a winemaker and has a startup […]
TripAdvisor vs. Foursquare For Your Business
“What is the difference between TripAdvisor and Foursquare, and where should I focus my attention?” This is a question I get frequently from small business owners. You know I’m about to answer this question with the word “depends,” don’t you? The real question is, are you, a small business owner taking advantage of the local and […]

Media Relations vs. Influencer Relations
There really isn’t a difference between media and influencer relations. And I’ll explain. But I’d like to digress first and talk about the future of journalism.

Four Things I Learned In Crisis Mode
As I type this, I’m on a 6 am flight from Palm Beach to Syracuse due to an emergency on top of an emergency. And I’ll step out into the frigid air with a suitcase full of skirts and flip slops. The outfit I wore driving to the airport in Spokane will have to do […]
