So yes, I did the Blogging Webinar!

Category:Clinics,Featured,speaking,Training

Last time I wrote here I published slides from my SES London presentation about blogging. I then asked ‘should I do a webinar?’. Nobody answered that in the comments, but on Social Media (mainly Twitter) people massively said yes on this. So guess what, I did 🙂

The day before I went on holiday I did a full hour webinar on blogging called ‘Make Blogging Easy’. It was the first time ever for me and I think it went pretty well. I had some positive responses. The webinar I actually did twice, because something went wrong with the recording. But because I did it twice, the recording is now freely available for anyone. You can watch it over at State of Digital (click).

If you want to know what type of content is in there, I also created a few ‘preview’ videos on the State of Digital YouTube channel. Here’s one example of a video, which will give you some insight into what to expect in the webinar:

My presentation at A4UExpo

Category:Events,Featured Tags : 

Last week I spent two days on A4UExpo, a conference in Amsterdam focussed on the Affiliate market. It was one of the best conferences I have ever attended.

I was at A4U Expo to cover the event for Searchcowboys (look at the reports on the special event channel on Searchcowboys) and as a speaker. I was the last speaker on the last day, which normally means no-one is there. Not this time though, the room was filled with enough people :).

At my presentation, which was part of three presentations about linkbuilding, I took a different angle on linkbuilding, namely the one of a publisher. I talked about how to (not) adress the media. Below my presentation!

I was going to talk about the same subject at SMX London, but sadly enough a track got canceled which also means my presentation was. I’m speaking on another subject also, but I’ll inform you about that later on!

Social Networking: what’s the use?

Category:explained,Featured,Video Tags : 

Just before my daughter was born I did a presentation about the use of online social networking in front of a group of Dutch "offline" managers. The presentation (in Dutch) can be seen on my Dutch blog.

One of the things which is always difficult is to explain to those who are not familiar with the subject what social networking actually is and what the benefits are. That’s why I like Common Craft so much. These guys know how to explain things easy:

Ten years of Google Homepages: spot the differences

Category:Featured,search Tags : 

Google birthday DoodleThis month Google celebrates its ten year anniversary. Reason for many bloggers and media to stop and look back. And why not. Google has in the past decade, changed the way we all use the Internet.

For ten years, most of us almost daily open the white, quiet Google Homepage. The "original" Google homepage is still recognizable in today’s homepage, but in the course of the years more has changed than you might suspect. An overview.
