Twitter Follow Friday I find 'em you follow 'em

April 16, 2010 By Jim Raffel 7 Comments

Want to know the secret to making this list? Read on young Jedi master. It starts in my "mentions" column in Hootsuite. It's all about interaction and engagement. I sit down for a few minutes before creating this list and scroll back through my mentions column. The names I see that make me go "ah … [Read more...]

Start-up is a mentality not a business stage

April 15, 2010 By Jim Raffel 3 Comments

A few days ago while reading Rework I thought about something a professor said while I was getting my MBA and then threw it out there as a Tweet. The tweet grew legs and was retweeted and then discussed a bit. I love it when my friends on Twitter decide the topics of blog posts for me - thanks … [Read more...]

Unplugged on my Birthday

April 13, 2010 By Jim Raffel 7 Comments

Today I turn forty-six (and still feel 26). Following are some unplugged thoughts I had this morning. Warning this post is probably rated like PG-13. I decided to cuss a little like I do in real life. 1. I want world peace (no really I do). On my birthday even I get to be idealistic. I spend the … [Read more...]

Twitter Follow Friday (on Saturday)

April 10, 2010 By Jim Raffel 4 Comments

Chris Brogan wrote a great post about turning Twitter follow Friday into blog traffic. You're here aren't you? So, he got that part right. I now have more than 140 characters to share with you what is so fantastic about the people I recommend you follow. The other part of my sinister plan is to … [Read more...]

March Madness 31 posts in 31 days

March 31, 2010 By Jim Raffel 4 Comments

Thirty-one days ago I set out to write 31 posts in 31 days. This is it, the thirty-first post. Thirty here and one on QuickInternetPages.com (or QIP.com) the blog idea that was created by the 31 posts exercise. Now, I am going to ramble a bit. I learned a lot about me, writing and the fine art of … [Read more...]

Transparency is the Key to Honest Communication

March 23, 2010 By Jim Raffel 2 Comments

I read this Chris Brogan post over the weekend and it reinforced the importance of transparency in honest communications with your community. I write a blog about real, authentic and sustainable, yet I reached a point yesterday when I knew my current schedule was no longer sustainable. I've enjoyed … [Read more...]

Social Media 101 (by Chris Brogan) Book Review

March 20, 2010 By Jim Raffel 3 Comments

I just finished reading Chris Borgan's Social Media 101. This is a must have book for anyone who has a blog, a web-site, a Twitter account or even just an email account on the internet. Chris covers it all. It's been a long time since I used this many post-it page markers and highlighter ink … [Read more...]

Social Media Is Killing Traditional Sales

March 19, 2010 By Jim Raffel 30 Comments

The traditional sales prospecting model is becoming increasingly ineffective over time. Five times in less than two weeks I have been solicited by voice mail message or email. Wait, by the same person! This is downright annoying. Obviously I have the tools to filter this noise out of my … [Read more...]

Printing is Not Dead or Even Dying

March 8, 2010 By Jim Raffel 12 Comments

If printing is on the verge of death, then why when I searched Twitter for "Is Print Dead"  did I find over 20 tweets in the past 4 hours? For something dead or dying, printing sure generates a lot of conversation in the Twitter community. The blogosphere also has plenty to say about printing being … [Read more...]

Produce and Ship Daily

March 2, 2010 By Jim Raffel 4 Comments

With the release of Seth Godin's Linchpin (which I have yet to read) there has been a whole lot of buzz in the Blogosphere about "shipping it."
