In Case You Missed It: Becky Chats With Striker Corbin About Social Media

I was so honored to be asked to be a guest on the Striker Corbin Motivational Program on BlogTalkRadio.com.  If you don’t know who Striker Corbin is, here is a quick bio:

Often opinionated, sometimes funny, always interesting! Hi everyone and welcome to the Striker Corbin show. I’m Striker Corbin hypnotist, coach, and professional speaker. Each program we’ll show you how to create the reality you desire using your thoughts and emotions. You can be a person who realizes their potential and passion for life. You can bring about change. You were meant to live with happiness and joy. Your life can be rich… it’s time to make it amazing.

In the hour that we had, we spoke about the Save Becky story which led to how I first got involved with Social Media.  We discussed Facebook, Twitter and how they work together and I also gave some tips for people tweeting for the first time as a business or on your own page.  If you missed the show, you can listen to it in it’s entirety below.  I will warn you, I think I said “you know” at least 1,000 times in the hour.  You know, I really have to work on that, you know?

Blogger's Block

writer-block-2I have a severe case of blogger’s block. I’m sure if I sat here long enough, something would appear, but would it be of the quality that I would like? Probably not.  I made a vow for August that I would write one blog per day, but then my computer crashed and I was set back. Then many new opportunities came my way and my blog has unfortunately been put aside again.  Please bear with me as I get some other stuff done and hopefully overcome my block at the same time. I’ll be back. I promise:)

I am a Proud Recipient of the J'Adore Tien Blog Award!

jadore-tien-blog-award-2009Staci at Just Bloggled gave me the J’Adore Tien Blog Award.  According to Staci, this means “I Love Your Blog” in French.  Just like Staci, I also took Spanish in High School and I’ll just take Kat’s word for it too. Thanks Staci for thinking of me for the award.  This is my very first blog award, it really made my day. I write this blog not really thinking anyone reads it…so it’s nice to know that you do!  And I love Just Bloggled! You should definitely check it out.

The best part of the award, is that I get to pass it on! Here are the rules:

  • Copy the image above.
  • Pass the award on to the bloggers you feel deserve it. You can pass it on to as many or as few bloggers as you want. There is no set number on this one.
  • Leave a message or a comment for the bloggers you give it to, notifying them of the award.
  • Leave a comment on the blog of the person who gave the award to you.

I read a lot of blogs.  A lot.  In the absence of Facebook games, I’ve needed something to occupy my time, and blog-surfing is it. As I could probably think of 100 blogs that I read on a regular basis, I think it’s best to limit my award-giving today to 4 entries. I did 4 and not 5 strictly because of space issues:

These are 4 blogs that I visit, or at least try to, just about every day. They come highly recommended and I am proud to pass on the  J’Adore Tien Blog Award to them!

I Really *HEART* Entrecard

entrecard2It is official.  I am a “drop-a-holic”.  I discovered EntreCard, a tool for bloggers to discover new blogs and get their blog seen as well.  I’ve only been a member for a few days, but I’m already hooked.  While skepticals may say that this will increase your bounce rate while other “drop-a-holics” just visit your blog to “drop” their card for points, I think differently.  I have found many fun new blogs to visit and while I visit them to drop, I read great articles too!  I even leave a comment or two.

So, if you use Entrecard, I hope you will do the same.  Go ahead, drop your card.  But try to leave a comment or subscribe to my updates too…that’s really what it’s all about.
