Free Social Media Webinar and New Blog

new social media blog 129x300 Free Social Media Webinar and New BlogNotice something different?

Greetings. Happy President’s Day. 

Although not rivaling the birthdays (observed) of some of America’s great leaders, it’s a big day here at Convince & Convert mobile global headquarters (which today brings me to Las Vegas for my son’s hockey tournament). 

New Convince & Convert Blog Launches

Today marks the official launch of the all-new Convince & Convert blog. I’ve worked with Unique Blog Designs and Chuck Reynolds to make this new version easier for you to read, comment, and interact. I wrote a post about the changes and why I feel they are important. 

I think we have most of the bugs worked out, but please let me know if you find any issues with the new site. And your comments about it are very much welcomed.

Free Social Media Webinar

Tomorrow (Tuesday, February 17) I’m conducting a free, 30-minute Webinar at 2pm eastern, courtesy of my friends at Web conferencing service ilinc.

Marketing Sideways to Win at Social Media 

The Webinar is focused on marketing anthropology, and finding the one element of your company or organization that’s inherently interesting, and building your social media “brand” around it. I hope you’ll join me. If you can’t make it, I’ll post the slides (and/or a link to the recorded Webinar) here. 

Sincere thanks for your continued support of me and Convince & Convert. Viva Los Presidentes.

@tyson - Good feedback. I'll check on that.

@Michael - Agreed. As I type this comment right now, it's very faint. I'll work on that.

@Richard - Thanks very much. High praise from you!

@Chuck - Youdaman

@Tom - Thanks very much. I appreciate your support.

@Sam - I'm glad you mentioned that sidebar feature. I hope it generates more views into the C&C; "greatest hits"

@Daria - Thanks! By the way, they'll record the Webinar for on-demand playback later. Stay tuned for details.

Hi Jason,

Love the new look, and the way you & your design partners integrated the company information on the home page so it's obvious but not annoying. (Now that my blog is on a new WP template, customizing is Step 2 -- including what you just did so well.)

By the way, your Webinar sounds fascinating. Wish I didn't have a conference call at the same time.

Best,
Daria

Well you know I'm a fan of the new site ;)
Lot better UI and use of architecture of all of the information and it's easier to read with better typography.

Glad I could be part of the team and hope to keep helping in the future.

Big fan of the UI, general structure of the site and social network integrations. Not a fan of the design or the gray text input for comments. You can barely read it on my monitor (24" Dell). Overall, good job. Kudos to you, Chuchkreynolds and the rest of the crew who helped you.

Take these comments for what they are worth as I am more interested in your content then the way it is presented (at least on this site).

I love the redesign. It is a lot of information but because it is organized correctly it is easy to find what I'm looking for.

The only thing I'd prefer is that there are only 2 or 3 articles displayed on the blog home page instead of 10. Then again that is probably just a personal preference.

Jason,
I like the new look. Much cleaner and easier to navigate - especially like the way you can look through recent/popular blog posts.

Will also try to make your seminar tomorrow.

Thx,
Sam
