Vince — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:24:49 +0000

We’ve all seen social media do some pretty amazing things. From increasing the awareness about the Haiti earthquake to giving “Pants on the Ground” the attention it so rightfully needed. Some TV shows have embraced social media and engaged with their viewers, which, I can imagine, can only be a good thing for them. The [...]

How To Integrate Viral Marketing Into Your Small Business

Vince — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:01:28 +0000

I’m a strong proponent of social media. I think everyone can benefit from it and I think everyone, large or small, should be doing it (at least to some degree). I recently spoke at the Salt Lake City chapter of the Social Media Club where I spoke with Jordan Lebaron & Chris Bennett about the [...]

Alright, so Saturday night I was alone, bored and forcing myself not to sleep. Somehow, I ended up at Wordle and started plugging in websites, just to see what was going on with them right now. Entering sites I normally frequent, I figured I would recognize most of them words that would show up, but [...]

Seems as though everyone these days is catching on to the social media bandwagon lately. Twitter was a huge one last week, what talk show DIDN’T talk about it last week, really? Whether you consider yourself a guru (which you probably really aren’t…sorry) or not (most likely), you’re brainstorming and you’re putting together stuff that’ll hopefully [...]

After reading Matt McGee’s awesome post on Why Trust Matters in Search, I saw some of his commenters talking about building trust with individual clients and it got me thinking about what I’ve done personally to retain my clientele. I’ve had my fair share of ups, downs and everything in the middle with my clients [...]

5 Things Snowboarding Has Taught Me About Business

Vince — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:39:53 +0000

I caught an awesome post by Cameron Olthuis that talked about what surfing has taught him about business. Now, I’m no surfer, in fact the last highly-rigorous physical routine I was a part of was high school football. I do, however, snowboard…and while the lessons that snowboarding has taught me about business may be similar [...]

5 Steps to Avoid the Drive-By Drivel

Vince — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:00:18 +0000

There are times I’ve been reeled in by a great blog post headline and as I read on, I find I’m disappointed. The post doesn’t deliver what I thought would be posted. Other times I’m reading a post and I can tell that the blogger is just posting to post–rambling on without any purpose-or just [...]

Social Media: What I’ve Done, and What I’ve Learned

Vince — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:52:48 +0000

I’ve been bouncing around all over the social sphere these last few months. It’s been an interesting and enjoyable pursuit to learn what social outlet provides what type of visitor, link/buzz or referral to my site. I’ve seen and read dozens of posts recently about this same thing in regards to just twitter or another [...]
