Soulati-’TUDE – Blog

Share Your Blog Here

This post is inspired by new commenter in the Soulati-’TUDE! community, Adam Clarke. Thanks, Adam!

Today marks the first in what’s hoped to be a continuing series for bloggers to share their blogs. My goal is to get 50 bloggers to give a blurb about their blog, its topic(s), and of course some link love. I will visit each of the bloggers who share and try to keep those regular visits happening. If your blog is from a vertical other than social media, marketing or PR, then ALL THE BETTER!

If I already know you and you’re a part of this community now, no matter! We all can be reminded what you’re writing about and try to get introduced to new peeps. If you’re at all like me, my time is limited and I rarely get a chance to visit others as I want and need to. Perhaps this will make it easier (is that selfish?).

So, I’ll begin:

1. Soulati-’TUDE! was born in March 2010 and it’s all about whatever I want, heh. But, it’s highly geared to public relations, social media, business and marketing. I’ll write the occasional off-topic post because I’m inspired to share a rant or three, but generally that’s what you’ll find here.

2. The SMB Collective was a trial run for a blogging community launched October 2010 with about six core contributors. Its topics are aimed at small business owners and anything is game for the writing. The blog still exists yet is highly dormant due to time constraints and the need for fresh writing. If anyone wants to help me push this blog back to new heights, I’m game and interested! Please…!

Now, it’s your turn…please share…and let’s get to 50 new blogs we all want to know about! Thanks for playing!

G'Day Jayme,
Thanks for the "leg up." If you employ people, my blog http://staffperformancesecrets.com/ could be useful. It's a B2B blog about improving staff performance without training courses. But be warned. I challenge just about every conventional wisdom of the HR fraternity.

So have a click and a look and , as we Aussie curmudgeons say,.......

Great Idea. My Blog http://www.der-bank-blog.de/ is about banking. Although it is written in German, there is a google translation service attached.

So I hope for some more readers and commentors

Kind regards from Germany

This is the blog where you learn the answer to every question you ever had but didn't know. We provide a thorough explanation and education on how to blog, write, talk, cook, read, speak, code, and much more. Read my blog and you will become a better person and your IQ will increase by a minimum of 5 points (7 if you are Canadian) and not only that but God will love you more than he/she/it did before.

Indeed; you've earned the top spot. What happened to that key word "Daddy" blogger? Have you totally ignored your lot to rabble rouse the opposite sex and make trouble at home? Unofficially, you're #50. How can I resist.

Jayme, Great idea! Thanks for reaching out and fostering this blogging community! 

My blog is The Wonder of Tech http://www.wonderoftech.com and it's a personal technology blog designed to help explain the developments in personal technology to the everyday person. The blog is written in plain English, no tech jargon or geek speak allowed! If tech is fun and/or useful, I explain it in a user-friendly way.

TKS for the nudge, Jayme. Just back from vacation and may have missed this otherwise! SO ... I blog in a lot of different spaces (motherhood, marketing, small biz, writing, etc.), but the blog that will probably be most relevant for the Soulati movers & shakers is http://www.suddenlymarketing.com - This is where I write as my marketing geek self - talking about branding & voice, content and connection, and how to find a marketing groove that's the right fit. In my "spare" time, I am an aspiring fiction writer, avid reader and walker, and a student of voice and trapeze (not at the same time). :)

Happy to make everyone's acquaintance!

Actually, this compilation is anything but only PR and marketing, I'm thrilled to say. Will you kindly add all your blogs, please, in all the areas you write for? I have a vast array of peeps who've come forward, and you'll be amazed when you see them all next week! Thanks, Jamie!

Of course, dahling. You don't have to ask me twice! ;) 

I'm part of a collaborative B2B marketing blog at http://www.savvyb2bmarketing.com
I'm part of a collaborative writing blog at http://nhwn.wordpress.com/ (my archive page is at http://nhwn.wordpress.com/author/jme2469/ )

I will also be launching a new project in 2012 that's not ready for unveiling, but will be yet another departure from the marketing/mothering/writing topics. 

Gotta keep things interesting, right?

You'll certainly be welcome at https://www.facebook.com/TerracomPR, where I share green tidbits primarily from and about Chicago. Sometimes they pertain to Terracom clients, many times not. Sustainability and eco are my things. So stop on by for ideas, news and curiosities. Today, a tidbit on Santa's carbon footprint.

I've known Christine for years since my stint as president of the Publicity Club of Chicago (hey, I have to shameless plug, too, ya know!). She amazes me with how she finds the bits and bytes to share about eco. You'll learn a ton, and if you're like me, it'll fly pretty much over your head when she gets down and dirty in the worms.

Hello! Jayme really wants me to post this here even though I'm not sure this will be of interest to you all...
I blog for the Connecticut Health Foundation. We're the largest independent health philanthropy in the state of Connecticut. Our goal is to improve the health of Connecticut residents. Our priority areas are: Children's mental health, health policy/advocacy, oral health, and racial and ethnic health disparities. We don't do direct service, instead we aim to change systems so that we're changing things for the long haul.
If any of these topics interest you, you can find me at: http://www.cthealth.org/news-publications/news/blog

What might interest you is this post: http://www.cthealth.org/blog/empowering-black-men-through-social-media Brandon Frame is an EXCELLENT example of someone using social media to create social change. He's not even a "social media guy", he's the Director of Business Partnerships at a local Hartford high school. His blog, the Black Man Can, is a wildly popular side project he does. I was just blown away by him! I hope you'll at least visit this post to see what this extraordinary young man is up to.

Girlie, this has nothing to do with PR or moi; it has all to do with you. Knowing about bloggers who are blogging in a vacuum and wanting everyone to learn more about one another, blah, blah, blah, blah. TU!

I've been hesitant to visit your blog because I may be changing domain names at some point. Ah, well, people can still come to visit at http://www.factotumep.com. These days, I'm mostly channeling my energies toward creative communications and how to add some creativity to "professional" or corporate communications. I'll still touch upon social media but only as it relates to writing. I may even continue some of the posts about entrepreneurship. Everything is "up in the air" at the moment.

The SMB Collective sounds interesting. We should chat. :) While chatting, we can pretend to have tea and scones.

Soulati

Hmm, let me know when you adjust the domain; meanwhile, I'll need to use this one for future posts to include you?

Erin Feldman

Yes, use the current address. I don't have a time frame for the new domain. My computer programmer is having job difficulties and isn't available like he once was. I am interested in learning more about the SMB Collective, though.

I'm in! Find my blog here: http://geminiuniversal.com/blog/  It is housed on a website I maintain dedicated to feral cats, stray cats and shelter animals.  Therefore, I write about dogs, cats, and anything involving dogs and cats (like the Puss In Boots movie!)  I also like to attend charitable events for the local shelters and rescue groups, so you will find follow up commentary about my experiences.  All for a good cause! Looking forward to meeting you all and reading your stories.

Hi, Susan! Lovely to have you here; thanks so much. Animals, pets, shelter issues are all fab topics we all enjoy knowing more about.

I blog at Spot On (http://www.allisondevelopmentgroup.com/blog) where I like to think that what I write is just that...Spot On.
I blog mostly about Marketing, Social Media, Metrics and ROI of both, Branding, Small Business, and PR (tho not as much as I should!).  I have been known to throw in a post or two about my kids (they're darn cute and have great stories) and I'm friendly to new-comers. ;)

I'm game. My main blog is http://www.living-listening-loving.blogspot.com/ and yes, it is pretty random. You'll find posts regarding freelance writing (what I do for a living), book reviews, spiritual pondering and random life musing.  For my more creative side and a little more consistency I post my original poetry on another blog http://patchworkpoetry.wordpress.com/

Stop by and visit.

Kacem 4 change (Kacem is my name) and the blog is a cocktail of news from Tunisia, Palestine, the MENA region, Human rights and Internet freedom. Equally I worked as a social media specialist and IT journalist but I like to keep this blog to advocate for positive social change and human rights. Quite a different niche - hope you all find interesting :)

I am so thrilled with everyone joining and participating in this spur-of-the-moment idea. Thank you! Now, what to do to capture all of you? Add all the links into a blog post? Launch a Share Your Blog Here service that is a monthly feature? Focus on vertical markets so we can all find new peeps?

I'm open for suggestions, y'all!

I post at http;//kensviews.com I focus on all things related to my business of
advising public relations and related communications agencies: Growing
business and better managing the business you have; improving
relationships with your clients and the service your agency provides to
them; and enhancing your staff’s performance, motivation, communication, and leadership skills. So I cover leadership styles, 
communicating with your team and your client, the changes in our
industry, managing today's work force, constructive
confrontation,  delegation and all points in between. And since I’m a
trainer, consultant and coach, you won’t be surprised to know that I’ll
be discussing those topics too. Thanks for creating this forum, Jayme. @kensviews:twitter

This is a great idea. Thanks for the opportunity for shameless self promotion. My Blog is http://cedarcityrealestate411.com/  I've been doing it for just over a year now, and discusses everything related to the real estate industry. As well as the occasion irreverent marketing helps.
