Phil Hollows

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Noth) — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:54:00 +0000

Phil Hollows is the Founder and CEO of FeedBlitz, social media’s email marketing service of choice and premium FeedBurner alternative. Phil is also the author of “ List Building for Bloggers”, the non-geeky guide to maximizing your site’s potential by building a successful and profitable list. Educated at Oxford University , Phil has lived and worked in the US with his wife and family since 1993.

After starting to blog in 2003, Phil created what was to become FeedBlitz back in 2005 in frustration at the lack of automated mailing services available at the time. As a marketing VP at an enterprise IT security company, Phil knew what was needed for successful, professional grade email marketing, even as the “blogosphere” was still maturing into becoming part of the vibrant social media world we see today.

He has successfully built FeedBlitz into an essential social media, email and RSS marketing automation service, as used by well-known industry personalities such as Seth Godin and Brian Clark and tens of thousands of others. FeedBlitz has survived the recession, as well as both partnering with and, later, competing against free offerings from Google. Starting out a as a free service using nothing but the blog and word of mouth to attract customers, FeedBlitz started out as a “freemium” service but then later changed business models in order to survive the recession. The company thrives by delivering excellent customer service, delivering industry-leading email marketing automation, and creating outstanding customer loyalty as a result.

FeedBlitz has weathered the start-up storm and recent economic woes by focusing on customers, being resilient when necessary and creatively changing to take advantage of new business opportunities. Now steadily expanding, the company relies on a mix of revenue sources, from recurring revenue programs, advertising and digital product sales. Resilience, focus, persistence and listening to customers have made FeedBlitz what it is today.

As well as his book, Phil speaks regularly on email, RSS and social media marketing. He co-hosts a local tweetup, #SudburySocial, and has spoken at industry events, BlogWorld Expo and the Savvy Blogging Summit.”

Inspirations from Bloggy Conference 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Noth) — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 15:26:00 +0000

This post was originally written on the Adventure Mom website after the Bloggy Con 2012 conference. I hope this post helps you understand why I already bought my ticket for Bloggy Con 2013. I'm looking forward sharing adventures with former attendee/friends and new friends to come. I took a step of faith and attended Bloggy Con as my first blogger conference and it has continued to be an experience that has brought opportunities and connections for my blog. If you are on the fence about attending, I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and go. It will be worth it and you will be glad you came.

Do You Well

I just experienced my first Bloggy Con blogger conference. I had never been to a blogger conference before and didn't fully know what to expect. I did notice the community started months before the conference began on facebook. Those relationships were given the opportunity to form new life in the flesh.

The information that I learned was super valuable and has given me ALOT of homework to do upon arriving home.

I would also say the networking (prospect friend making ) was just as crucial.

The culture of this conference really felt like something special. The speakers were approachable and very down to earth. Many of them mingled amoung the attendees so well that you didn't even know they were a keynote until moments before they took the podium.

I have been in conferences of other fields where you did not have access, or the speakers did not make themselves accesibe to the people who were attending.

I was so impressed by how our speakers shared information freely. They wanted to help others and share their knowledge (the valuable intel that people usually want to keep to themselves) vs. viewing it as something that could be a threat to their brand down the line.

So here are some things that I think that any one can take away from my experience.

Leaders are Learners

All of the speakers at our conference were right with us taking notes and learning from each other about new ways to do things. The danger is to ever think we've already arrived. The spirit of humility began with our conference founder Tiffany Noth. I honestly would have never guessed she was the founder because she blended amongst us and faded into the background. She's not an extrovert but she is super talented and had every right to let everyone know how awesome she is. Her attitude trickled down to everyone around her. Tiffany was the heart and soul of the conference.

Put yourself out there

You just need 3 seconds of bravery.

This applies to whatever you are intimidated to do.

Show up. Introduce your self and ask about the other person.

It's scary and awkward and everyone might not like you and .....that's ok.

I noticed that I connected with some people better than others during 3 day long introductions. If you didn't really connect, don't be offended. Just move on and stay friendly and approachable. You never know what obstacles the other person has had to overcome to be at that moment with you.

You're not in high school anymore. Don't judge a book by their cover.

I would have missed out on some amazing new friendships if I had only approached people who seemed exactly like me. Diversity is good and adds to your life. The first few attendees that I met ended up being greater friends by the end of the conference. I would have missed out if I had not challenged myself to try to meet and connect with as many people as possible. There is a pearl in each person you meet. You just need to discover what it is that makes them shine.

(New friends: Angela from Mom spot.com Ashley from Teachable Mommy Erin from A bird and a Bean)

You can experience kairos time. Kairos (??????) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). (Wikipedia)

I have encountered kairos time on many retreats in the past. This is when you have only known a person or persons for a short period of time and yet you feel like you have known them forever. Leaving room in your life and your heart to embrace new friendships will greatly enrich your life. You never know if a person is brought into your life for a reason, season or a lifetime. When you are given these time limited opportunities be authentic. Your relationships don't have to end with the conference or event.

(Like my new friends Cindy, Emily from Dirt and Pearls and Christina from The Land Gang Loves.)

I took a brewery tour after the conference with an attendee that I had met just in passing the first night. (Andi from "Make it Take it") I was looking for a person who could join me on the tour when I found out my dad couldn't make it. Little did I know that she would introduce me to someone that I had been wanting to meet, who just happened to be eating near where our tour began. That person also invited me to join a group of media on another tour that evening.

My new attendee buddy and I shared an unforgettable experience of almost getting left in the cave when we tried to take a conference speaker's advice to make more youtube videos. We also met an interesting character named Jimmy who had a switchblade. ( that's another story in itself) That Brewery tour with her resulted in friendship that turned a 5 minute intro into a new 8 hour new friend.

Competition takes, Community adds

The culture of this conference was really encouraging and cultivated what each individual added to the experience. Our human nature is to be insecure and wonder if we are replaceable and if what we do, what we are, is enough.

When we choose to celebrate community, we all benefit because everyone is unique and no one is replaceable or an imitation of someone else. There were several bloggers with a similar nitch. They still were all so different because of their personalities and unique life experience that make them who they are and what they bring to the table. If you try to project to be something your not, you will be striving and struggling and those whose approval you were seeking will lose interest.

As we help each other, we all win. I met someone at the conference who was a perfect connection for my friend and I knew I had to introduce them. There was no benefit for me to go out of my way to hunt down the person for her to connect with. I feel that if you seek to help others succeed, that there will be opportunities given by others to you too. What you sow, you will reap.

(Jacqueline Wilson is taking steps to change the blogging atmosphere of how women treat each other with her support and network site Project Purse Club.)

Do you well

Whatever you do, be you in the process. You were uniquely created for a reason with special gifts, talents and passions.

Don't settle. Dream Big.

I loved this quote from our Friday night session.

"Here's a salute to a long life: goodness that outlives the the grave, love that outlasts the final breath. May you live in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life"

Be the best YOU that YOU can be!

Outside your comfort zone is where the magic happens.

Nedra is the Editor and Chief Adventure Mama on AdventureMomBlog.com

"I enjoy traveling, anything chocolate, coffee, concerts, all kinds of random activities to try for the first time, any meal I didn’t have to cook, extreme rides, outdoors, fashion, art and Pinterest. I have a slight addiction to Facebook, love hanging out with friends, being inspired by people who bring social justice to the world and being apart of what they are doing when I can, love God and of course my family.

My husband and two boys also enjoy our fun variety lifestyle. I hope as you read the blog you will find something that sparks your interest and get the courage to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. I have found that there is safety in numbers for lots of things I didn’t want to try by myself and I’ve never regretted any of the experiences I’ve had.

Spend a Moment with Headbands of Hope!

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Noth) — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 22:25:00 +0000

Bloggy Conference invites you to take a moment out of your busy schedule and get acquainted with Headbands of Hope!

Our mission at Headbands of Hope is to fund research for childhood cancer and spread hope in all girls, one headband at a time.

Take a moment to volunteer and place a headband on a card for a special little girl. Attendees are also able to write a note to go a long with the headband.

Why headbands and kids cancer?

Many girls fighting childhood cancer lose their hair during their rigorous chemotherapy treatments. Headbands are the perfect way for these girls to keep their feminine identity and have a constant reminder that they're not alone.  

For girls and women everywhere, their hair is a part of their feminine identity. Wigs can be uncomfortable and unappealing, especially to younger girls. 

So why not wear a beautiful, fun, and comfortable headband instead? 

Headbands of Hope provides a movement to spread hope in all girls and fight in the battle against childhood cancer, one headband at a time. 
Our headbands are proudly made by My Sunshine Shoppe in the Bismarck, ND.
For every headband purchased, one headband will go to a girl with cancer and $1 will be donated to the St. Baldrick's Foundation to fund life-saving childhood cancer research.

So why childhood cancer?

Childhood cancer takes the lives of more children in the U.S. than any other disease - in fact, more than many other childhood diseases combined.

Children with cancer can not be treated simply as "smaller adults." First, the cancers that strike them are very different from the more common adult cancers, having different causes and needing different treatments. Also, children are being treated while in crucial stages of the development of their bodies and minds, complicating the effects of treatments and often resulting in life-long complications.

Although research over the last 40 years has raised the overall cure rate from virtually none to about 80%, many types of childhood cancer remain very difficult to cure. Progress is also especially slow in curing adolescents and young adults, because federal funding for childhood cancers is a fraction compared to adult cancers.

Therefore, attention needs to be brought to childhood cancer. Progress can't be made without research. Research can't be done without funding. And funding can't be done without awareness. Headbands of Hope aims to start with awareness and end with a cure.
