Getting more and less connected

Christmas is under control for this year (I think) – shopping is done, all but one present wrapped, decorating is done so just cookie baking left and I try not to do that too early or I find excuses to eat the ones that aren’t absolutely perfect!

In between all of that, I’ve continued working on my online marketing skills (they need a lot of work.)  I’ve been focusing on just one hub at a time so jewelry has been getting the bulk of my focus first, hence not as many posts here as I would like but I am starting to see some positive results.  And I’ve learned new and sneaky ways to gain presence without more work and much to my chagrin convincing me to get a twitter account. The nifty new thing is posterous.com which integrates everything so that with one email a post is made to a blog, twitter, flickr, facebook, and whatever else you’d like.  And even better, it actually works.  It seems a little odd to be broadcasting on all these channels without ever going to them, but it also means that customers can tune in on their preference rather than having to go out of their way to find me. At the same time I’m building my presence on the web in a way that isn’t spam and that I can actually manage with integrity. I’m beginning to see that I’ve underestimated how outgoing you need to be these days – what seems brash to me really isn’t anymore because nobody (except maybe your mother) ever sees all of what you put out there.

To go along with that today is play time as I prep my very first Youtube video.  I’ll post it here when it’s done:-)
