► NEW YEAR, NEW PLANS, NEW STRATEGY

road

I can't wait to tell you about all that's going on with the Birmingham Blogging Academy in 2011. Some of it is already in progress, and some of it is still in my head. :)

But first, are you still excited about blogging? Connecting with other bloggers and customers and experts? Showing off your company's best traits and tips?

If you are, you're going to love this newsletter, because this semi-tended area is going to be a weekly showcase of great information and links you can use right now.

That's my first 2011 promise to you.

If you need little tips and tricks on getting your blogging going each day, I'm sending them out on Twitter at 6 a.m. CST every single day from @WadeOnTweets. But all you have to do is follow the hashtag #DailyBlogTip.

(If you don't do Twitter, you can simply visit the webpage every day or grab the RSS feed.)

That's my second 2011 promise to you.

Below, I'm going to share some of the goodies already baked and ready for you to devour. But ask yourself one question:

• What's the one thing I need to know right now to get my company blogging, social media, content or website moving ahead for the year?

If you need help, contact me immediately. E-mail me at mail@birminghamblogging.com. There isn't a question yet I haven't responded to or answered.

Here's to a great 2011!

► SO WHAT'S YOUR STRATEGY, WADE?

compassMy strategy is to share as many communication ideas and lessons with you as possible every day.


If you need more help, I'm available to ...
  • Train you and your colleagues in the most effective techniques.
  • Develop a strategy for getting your company's message to the right audience.
  • Implement e-mail newsletters, blogs and social media to generate traffic and revenue.
You might need help in one of those areas, or all of them, or something else. Contact me at mail@birminghamblogging.com to set up a 100% free consultation. I want to hear from you.

Tops in social media: I was selected by the Poynter Institute as one of 35 influential people in social media. But what does that mean? I share my insights from this great honor in an extended blog post. Click here.

Advice for every kind of blog: After a wonderful BlogWorld outing in October, I listed 12 bloggers I met and pointed out great things on their sites. I also offered a simple suggestion on how each blog could move to the next level. Is your blog type on the list? Click here.

I did this video for the BlogWorld blog to get the year started off right. You can watch it within the newsletter, but if you have a moment, please show me some comment love on the original post. Thanks!
