Soulati Media On The Street With Event Planning Tips

By

It was a distinct pleasure to watch this young and up-and-comer whip snap event planning logistics into place for the New South Digital Marketing Conference May 17, 2013 in Myrtle Beach.

My guest today in this edition of Soulati Media On The Street is Allie Wallis, account executive with The Brandon Agency, hosts of the show.

As I also had the distinct pleasure of speaking at this show, Blogging Soup to Nuts: Tools, Tales, Tips (you can get the deck right here), I was front and center with Allie’s professionalism, vibrancy, and detail-mindedness.





I hope the Brandon Agency keeps cuffs on her so no one steals her amazing talent.

Here, she offers three tips for event planners managing the show.

I love this interview. #That.Is.All. Big round of applause, Allie!

4. Get Jay Baer’s New Book & A Final Note:

Another conference scored more in-person connections, and ponderings about the state of marketing at large. While we in social media continue to grow and learn and re-invent, there remain new and small businesses overwhelmed with the future of marketing. 

How do we face backward with a rope to tug them along in parallel? That’s the question I’m left with; so many need help and it’s our opportunity and privilege to help businesses grow and take full advantage of social marketing, digital marketing, and big data.

I leave you with that ponderance, and I also leave you with a note to run and pre-order Jay Baer’s new book Youtility. I had the distinct privilege of hearing his keynote, and, ooh-la-lah…Jay Baer has it it out of the park. This latest title of his applies to us all and shows the interconnectivity that social has created with interesting patterns and criss-crosses we’d never know until he points them out.

 

Order Jay Baer’s new book, Youtility, right here!

Ahhh, it’s so nice to be home! What’s even better is to sit and gel on the content coming out of this fodderiffic conference! See you next year!

Soulati Media On The Street With Pure Barre Dayton

By

pure-barre.jpgIn this edition of Soulati Media On The Street, Jayme Soulati (that’s me) had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Pure Barre Dayton Owners Janna Williams and Joanie Green. Their new personal fitness studio is located in the Heart of Centerville, and it’s one of the hottest fitness trends streaking across America.

The two share what Pure Barre is, and why it’s good for women and some men. As Janna shares, it’s group fitness meets ballet barre (maybe she had a better answer than that, but you’ll need to watch and find out!).

Join any of the Pure Barre studios cropping up in your location; when you do a search on Facebook, there are nearly a dozen. I’m impressed, and I’m going to take my first class soon…really, really soon. Ahem.

New Blogging Tips Book by Jayme @Soulati

By

On this blog since its start in March 2010, the topic of blogging has been a favorite of its author, Jayme Soulati. When it became time to look toward business development and making digital marketing a priority, Jayme pulled three years of blog posts about blogging from the archives and fashioned her first book.

by Jayme Soulati is now available for advance sale. The hard-copy easy-to-digest book is 130 pages featuring eight chapters, takeaways, teachings, notes, and #RockHot tips. The blog posts Jayme selected are original and remain live on her blog, Soulati-‘TUDE!

Members of this community are included in the book by name and often by blog post. Anyone featured in original posts remain in the content and thus the book. Where applicable, “Jayme Notes” update the original content.

Why Write a Blogging Book

The impetus for the book came from the desire to craft an e-book as content for business development. Upon seeing the plethora of posts Jayme wrote about her own blogging journey, she knew it had to be a true, printed book.

When bloggers launch their journey into blogging, there is intense pressure to be successful right away. So many books on the topic are oriented to monetizing a blog; this book is not about that. Jayme shares true passion for blogging with tips about the basics — voice, community, content, inspiration, the echo chamber, and the back end. The book is easy to read and written in her always personable style.

A blog is one of the most important aspects of social media. It is owned media — you write and control and own the message. Putting people on the right path to becoming an authority and influencer begins with a blog that resonates with authority and influence.

Self-Publishing

Jayme selected a regional press to assist in her publishing experience, one that did much of the legwork she didn’t wish to do. David Braughler of Greyden Press in Dayton/Cincinnati was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the self-publishing experience.

She used the free book template from Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch to put her manuscript into layout. When Guy and Shawn wrote and published , they invited people to download their template in exchange for a tweet on the book.

and Jayme invites your feedback, comments and review of her first title in a business book series.

Who Should Buy

One of the frequently mentioned tips Jayme offers in Writing with Verve on the Blogging Journey is to stay the course for 12 months before making changes.

She recommends that these folks consider getting a copy:

  • Anyone interested or planning to blog
  • Anyone on the blogging journey less than 12 months
  • Any blogger writing more than 12 months
  • Any corporate blogger wanting a few tips to infuse energy in a blog
  • Students and friends
