		<title>Who should you send your press release to?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Trying to find the correct journalists and bloggers to write about your services/product?
Well, hopefully, MediaSync is gonna make it much easier to know who writes about your industry or subject matter.
Today, I came across a Press Release announcing a free service called MediaSync by a company called mBLAST.

The MediaSync site has this to say about their offerings (keep in mind, just because they mention it being for professionals, doesn&#8217;t mean it isn&#8217;t simple enough for you to use on your own):

MediaSync is a free online resource that allows you as ...]]></description>

		<title>Befriending Grandma: Social Media&#8217;s Newest Demographic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
A new study shows that the largest growing demographic on Facebook is&#8230; grandma and grandpa.
Today, an article, entitled &#8220;Older Adults Nearly Double Social Media Presence [STATS]&#8221; appeared in Mashable &#38; stated:
A new study from Pew Internet found that between April 2009 and May  2010, social networking site usage grew 88% among Internet users aged  55-64, and the 65 and older group’s social networking presence grew 100% in the same time frame.
Why do you think so many of our elders have recently joined social media sites?

		<title>Getting Started: Walking the Talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Recently, it became clear to me that I was not walking the talk.  That as a marketer, I was using excuses like: &#8220;I spend my days marketing others&#8221; and &#8220;I am very fortunate that I get so many referrals, so I don&#8217;t need to be marketing myself.&#8221;  But then, it occurred to me I couldn&#8217;t ask other folks to be investing their time to doing email marketing, blogging and social media, if I was putting it on the back burner, myself.
I understand how hard it is to find time, and ...]]></description>

		<title>Can Every Biz Benefit from a blog?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Editor&#8217;s Note: The video of the Blogging for Biz panel is now available at WordPress.TV &#8211; it is also added to the end of this post.
I had a great time at WordCamp Boulder.  Beth J. Hayden &#8211; of BloggingWithBeth.com &#8211; and Jim Turner &#8211; of OneByOneMedia.com &#8211; shared the Blogging for Business Panel with me (Bethany Siegler of UniqueThink).  I heard there was video of it, so I won&#8217;t repeat much of what was discussed.  And once I find it, I&#8217;ll link to it.  In the meantime, I did want ...]]></description>

		<title>A taste of what makes a good restaurant website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
I was checking out this article on WebDesignLedger.com called &#8220;40 Tasty Restaurant Websites to Inspire You&#8221; and two things immediately occurred to me.
First, I was really really hungry looking at all the amazing food on these sites&#8217; home pages &#8211; great job on most of them to really highlight their food well in a very appetizing way!
Second, my marketing head kicked in.  Fortunately, many of these guys do a great balance of graphic art (look of the site and displaying the food well) along side complementary marketing (making sure people ...]]></description>

		<title>Simple Low or No Cost Marketing Ideas for Restaurants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Two of my favorite things are food and marketing, so a blog post about how restaurants can cost-effectively market themselves was bound to happen.  Here are a couple of quick ideas that have either been percolating in my head or I&#8217;ve noted area restaurants doing:
1. Twitter and blogging:  There are endless possibilities for using twitter and blogs to promote your restaurant:

Today&#8217;s Specials &#8211; I don&#8217;t know about you, but if I was following twitter posts and I saw that my favorite restaurant was tweeting their daily specials, my mouth would ...]]></description>
