This is my first share of a list via List.ly. And, the most absolutely astonishingly amazing thing is that I did not do it myself.
I was gifted of this list by none other than Jackson Middleton, who tweets and is of, and claims he’s “wearing a kilt right now” with coffee mug in hand. And another thing? I’ve never tweeted or engaged this wonderful man who came bearing gifts in the night.
Or, perhaps he didn’t and this was all part of some secret research I’m not privy to. Mr. Middleton was not available for tweets this early in the day, so my assumption is that this here below is a GIFT!
About Jackson Middleton
He writes a blog My favorite blog headline of all is his,
He is doing the best-ever mortgage, real estate and broker blog in all of Canada and perhaps in the U.S. Take a look at
I thought Nick Kellet was doing my content audit for his recent project for and I was cringing for those results. Nick, are you? Is Jackson your secret team member on your project? When I went up to List.ly and saw this list of 25 of my most recent blog posts on a list, my jaw dropped.
Sad, that I cannot seem to embed the list here, so I’ll suffice with an image and a link.
Using List.ly
This tool offers so many #RockHot opportunities.
- You can gift someone as Jackson the Kilt Wearer did for me.
- You can curate topics and people on a list to lure folks to participate.
- You can do a personal branding list, which I did and it actually garnered traffic to my blog.
- You can participate on others’ lists and add your favorites. Heck, you can be sure your own blog is added, too!
I don’t even have this tool mastered one iota (so glad I could use that word), but the sky is the limit.
What can you share here about your List.ly experiences? Obviously, you can learn from a Ninja — Mr. Jackson Middleton!
Holy smokes! It worked!!! I’m so excited; it did embed! Yay!
Oh Gosh! Another thing to learn? LOL..Please master it and give instructions! I know a certain “someone” is going to be into this too! sigh…….It does look pretty cool though.

equuisdancer22 I have been using list.ly for a couple months now and it is INCREDIBLE. It is so easy to bring together information in one place. The tool itself is really slick, looks way more complicated than it really is. Have a wonderful day!
equuisdancer22 The only thing I have ever mastered in my life is when to eat, Lady! Sheesh! You need to know me by now…I’m scattershot, ping pong, find the next new, tell it and move on! Oh, yeah, you two could have loads of fun with List.ly!
Hey Soulati | Hybrid PR , let me tell you, you are lightning fast! I volunteered to help nickkellet with his content audits in an attempt to see how other professional bloggers and marketers are using their websites. My job was to go through your last 25 posts and look at the social mediums (Graphics, Video, LIsts, Docs & Slides) you used to communicate with your audience. I collect the raw data and Nick does his magic with that information.
I found that working through your website was a pure joy, your audit took longer than usual as I had to keep pulling myself away from reading your posts from start to finish. I ended up just saving the posts in my delicious account! I was actually hoping to connect with you on Google+ today and see if there was a chance I could guest post in your Happy Friday Series.
Anyway, thanks so much for this blog post and your kind words. I can tell that you are someone who is truly passionate about helping people and you live what you teach! So refreshing! Have a wonderful day!
jacksonmiddleton Soulati | Hybrid PR nickkellet I have to say that pseudo ignorance on this one was blissful blogging. I could not pass up the opportunity to capture my shock at this list and then deduce that it was likely for Nick; however, it was priceless.
Thank you for helping him, gifting me with unintentional blog fodder and for the cool introduction to you!
I’m going to invite you to my Globe Spotting tribe on dinodogan Triberr . Are you a member there yet?
You have an amazing good blog, Jackson. I’m duly impressed and well, that, uhmm, kilt…”do black patent shoes really reflect up?”

Someone should write a case study about this. #That.Is. All. I have already tooted the horn enough today, so it will not be moi.
