An Incomplete Aggregation of Life

Published on March 5, 2010 in Blogging and General

I finally got around to changing the look and the title of this website. It had been on my mind for a few weeks but I couldn’t come up with an appropriate new name. Seeing that it is not only about my life I didn’t want my name to be on it. And seeing that it captures posts from a few other places (Posterous x2, Picasa and Tumblr) I thought the term ‘aggregated’ would fit in nicely.

So here you have it.

Getting to know Posterous

Published on January 13, 2010 in Blogging and General
This post is an experiment.  I need to be 100% comfortable with the Autopost feature and I need to make sure things go to the right place.  I have three posterous blogs and three WordPress ones as well.  Each one has a different purpose so we can't get them mixed up…

Next thing I need to understand are tags…

Hooked on LinkedIn

Published on November 6, 2009 in Blogging

Traffic has been up significantly over at the Mobile Strategy Blog in part due to my big push on LinkedIn and the new subscribers it has yielded.  LinkedIn has been a great source of traffic but I am depending on it a little too much.  Which is not good and needs to change.  So I need to find other channels besides LinkedIn to draw first time readers to the Mobile Strategy Blog.  For obvious reasons I am not going to write about that over at the blog itself (since it distracts from the main focus).

I will be back on Twitter this weekend in preparation for the Mobile Money Conference next Tuesday.

Twitter and the conference should give readership another push upwards.  I will report here later.

Finding New Channels to Market Blog Content

Published on October 10, 2009 in Blogging

I could not think of a better title.  But essentially my main blog over at Mobile Strategy has become overly dependent on traffic from LinkedIn.  Around 28% of my readers come from nudges (news items or discussion topics) I post in the Groups I belong to.  LinkedIn has been a great source for pushing content and getting readers… however, it is time to find other marketing channels for the blog.  I don’t do Facebook and I quite Twitter so the challenge is finding communities that will be interested in what I write over there.

Mobile Banking in Canada

Published on August 21, 2009 in Blogging

Two days ago I started a series on mobile banking in Canada.  Essentially I try and make a case to Canadian Banks on the benefits of offering mobile financial services.  It has gathered some momentum and traffic has increased… not the pressure is on to actually go through the entire series. So head on over to the Mobile Strategy Blog and check the article out.   Leave a comment and join the conversation.

(BTW – Pushing it hard on LinkedIn actually helped in driving the traffic)
