Marketing and Technology Media Chit Chat Radio with Lynette Young http://mediachitchat.com All the latest chit chat about all the latest media & technology Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:10:33 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Ask Me (Almost) Anything Media Chit Chat Podcast Show http://mediachitchat.com/2014/ask-me-almost-anything-media-chit-chat-podcast-show/ http://mediachitchat.com/2014/ask-me-almost-anything-media-chit-chat-podcast-show/#comments Wed, 23 Apr 2014 21:48:13 +0000 http://mediachitchat.com/?p=475 In the spirit of kicking off the podcast again & answering a ton of email questions at the same time… would you be interested in a “Ask Me (Almost) Anything” show that covers marketing and technology from my point of view? While I don’t want to fire up the podcast JUST to answer questions but I thought it might be a good once a month topic that I can tackle.

Media Chit Chat Ask Me Almost AnythingThe inspiration partially comes from Reddit’s AMA where topics and guests range from Bill Gates to Neil deGrasse Tyson (GEEK LOVE) and even Peter Dinklage (“GOT” LOVE). I’m also a huge fan of Amy Vernon’s #SMetiquette.

There are nearly 100 emails sitting in my inbox asking me questions on how to do certain things (within marketing and technology) as well as my opinions on topics in the industry. The questions go unanswered and I really feel bad about that. It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s that I could spend all day – every day – answering emails instead of working.

So with that I’m going to start sorting through the more recent questions and see what I can produce via podcast. Catch me on Twitter or in the comments to ask me (almost) anything!

Here’s my “What I’m Wondering?” thoughts on the topic.

While it might feel like a popularity contest to chase LIKEs on a Facebook page, the reality is that growing your ‘social graph’ on any social network or digital publishing platform will help you get your message – and business – out to more people. Lynette will show you the real reasons why growing your following is critical to growing your business online.

Listen. LinkedIn. Google+. These networks work wonders tactically if you know how to use them. Honestly Facebook and Twitter can still be mined for gold if – and only if – you know how to do it. That means NOT doing what you did last year. Yes, you may have had an amazing year (or maybe you didn’t) but duplicating your outcome depends on not duplicating your efforts.

This industry shifts every quarter. Taking ‘lessons’ you learned in 2010 and putting lipstick on them will no make it a worthy prom date. Please I’m begging you. As consumers you bore us with tried and true safe tactics. Don’t be sheep. Be brave. Be unique. Be different.
