Follow Me on Pinterest for Blogging Tips and Resources

Social Media

Am I on Pinterest? Of course I am! Who can resist that beautiful kaleidoscope of colors, graphics, and delicious imagery? I use Pinterest for business and play, as a wish list, reference tool, and sandbox when I feel like goofing off. If you're a regular pinner, you know how easy it is to get lost in la la land looking at pins. As a curator of business content, one of my favorite Pinterest boards that I refer to often is my "All About Blogging" board. If it sounds like the purpose of this board is self-explanatory, you are correct! The All About Blogging board has blogging tips, resources, and how-to's on all things relevant for bloggers. I blog for business and I use Pinterest for business, and this board supports my marketing efforts.…

How to Create a Twitter List

Social Media

Are you using Twitter lists to manage your Twitter timeline? When you’re actively using Twitter, consistently following and engaging new tweeps, your following will grow so large that it will become a challenge to manage. What is a Twitter List? A list is a curated group of Twitter users. You can create your own lists or subscribe to lists created by others. Viewing a list timeline will show you a stream of Tweets from only the users on that list. Note: Lists are used for reading Tweets only.* Twitter lists are the best, most effective way to isolate tweets from specific people. Twitter gives you the easy ability to group people into specific lists, which you can refer to quickly to catch up with tweets you may have otherwise missed as…

I’m Stuck On A Deserted Island, Where’s My Coffee Cup?

Random Chats

I've been exiled to a private island, with glorious animals, crystal clear blue water, and pink sandy beaches. Now what am I supposed to eat? Well, that's the question posed to me, courtesy of today's Just Blog It challenge. So, the five foods I must have on a deserted island are as follows: Cherries. Fresh cherries. Yummmm. Jasmine green tea already sweetened with natural sugar. Hot or cold, this is my favorite tea. I can't live without my tea. Coffee with extra cream and sugar - just in case you wanna bring me a cup of coffee, now you know how I drink it! I've been drinking it all my life, exile will not make me stop. Avocados. I've been on an avocado kick for several months now and it doesn't seem…

Why Two Overachievers Launched Just Blog It

Events

Why did we create Just Blog It? Because we're overachievers! I'm supposed to be writing about why I joined the Just Blog It Challenge as today's writing prompt. However, since I'm a co-host/creator of Just Blog It, I'll explain why we created this ambitious challenge in the first place and how we're doing so far. The Story Behind Just Blog It As the saying goes, brilliant minds think alike! I guess that means me and my Just Blog It co-host Brandi Starr are pretty brilliant. Unbeknownst to us, we had both been thinking about creating a blog challenge for a while but just never got around to it. Enter us attending the same conference a few months ago, with no idea the other was going to be in the room. We get to talking, sharing some…

I Like Myself and I Cannot Hide It

Random Chats

Today is Toot Your Horn Day at Just Blog It! We threw in this writing prompt for a specific reason: Most of us are excellent at being too critical of ourselves and are not so good at the opposite. Therefore, we challenged bloggers to share a favorite thing they like about themselves. Now me personally, I give myself kudos and hi-fives daily like I'm on a basketball court. So I had to pick just one thing, hmmm... where do I begin. I guess one of my favorite things I love about myself is my ability to be a straight shooter and tell it like it is. I don’t do fluff and I am not a hype man (hip hop fans know what I mean). One of the phrases most prospective clients hear from me: "I don't do fluff-n-stuff." I…
