Would you Host your own Radio Show?

November 3, 2009

Do you have a weird thing for stick fig­ure draw­ings? Me too. I think that’s the main rea­son I started play­ing KOL (King­dom of Loathing). The humour drew me in after that and kept me play­ing. Once I got to the point of being stuck in the game I was already lis­ten­ing to the KOL […]

Keeping Up With Events Online

July 7, 2009

What do you need for an online event? A lot!
Blog­World New Media Expo 2009 has a post about what you can do to fol­low and (sort of) par­tic­i­pate in the event if you can’t make it to Las Vegas this Octo­ber. Five things on the list, do you have access to them all? Would you be […]

Twitter Becoming Polluted

June 19, 2009

How do you use Twit­ter? Is it a social thing, a mar­ket­ing cam­paign, a net­work­ing scheme or a blog pro­mo­tion gim­mick for you? Are you gath­er­ing fol­low­ers to actu­ally talk to peo­ple or just to increase the range of your self spam­ming?
I only fol­low peo­ple I actu­ally do want to hear from or think […]

Spinning Perception

May 27, 2009

Tim Horton’s says you save ten cents on their cof­fee refills if you use the plas­tic mugs instead of the paper cups. They could have said you pay ten cents for the paper cups each time. But it sounds bet­ter to save ten cents than to be charged an extra ten cents.
My sis­ter opened a […]

Packaging a Presentation

June 4, 2007

What’s in your pack­age?
Do you have:

busi­ness cards
sta­tionery
brochure
media kit
web­site
pro­fes­sional clothes
and
an office?

Plus, of course, your work itself. All orga­nized in clips, arti­cles, or the books them­selves (depend­ing on which medium you use).
Do you have a pack­age?
Of course, we all have a pack­age to present to the world. But, have you done much with yours? Have you put effort into making […]

Start Networking

December 18, 2006

Have you really worked on net­work­ing? Really got­ten seri­ous about your con­tacts and your contact’s con­tacts? Who do they know that you don’t know, yet.
Think of the six degrees of sep­a­ra­tion the­ory. It’s not who you know right now that counts but who you could get to know through your cousin Pat’s hair dresser. You might […]

Trying to be Professional

March 27, 2006

How pro­fes­sional are you? What impres­sion do you make with poten­tial edi­tors, clients and other writ­ers?
Last year I joined up with a well known online com­mu­nity (Note: When I orig­i­nally wrote this I named the site. I decided not to name them in the newslet­ter thanks to advice from sub­scribers to my InkSplat­ters list) to […]

Site Promotion and Emotion

March 13, 2006

One thing any­one read­ing this has in com­mon is that we are writ­ing online. Its a dif­fer­ent market/ medium from print, obvi­ously. But not always in obvi­ous ways. The lan­guage is dif­fer­ent. The rate at which con­tent needs to be refreshed is much dif­fer­ent. The prob­lems with hav­ing con­tent stolen are also dif­fer­ent and more […]

Create Yourself in Your Own Image

February 20, 2006

We know about pre­sent­ing a good, pro­fes­sional image and using effec­tive body lan­guage. If you work in fic­tion you’ve likely used body lan­guage, style and first impres­sions to cre­ate a char­ac­ter. But, do you present a good image of your­self?
If you are in a pro­fes­sional sit­u­a­tion do you know how to appear pro­fes­sional and confident. […]
