This has been a busy week for me as far as having a chance to both guest post and have a recorded interview too.
Guest Post
MIchael Martine offered a chance to be part of a series on “Blogger Biographies” and I jumped at the chance. I love Michael’s blog Remarkablogger. And Michael is a pretty cool guy too. And getting to know Michael is another one of those benefits you get from blogging and even using twitter. Because twitter is where I really got to know Michael.
My Blogger Biography was published by Michael yesterday. And I was humbled to say the least by the great comments people left. Thank you to all of you who did.
I enjoyed writing the guest post and it was wonderful to have a chance to be even a small part of such a great blog as Remarkablogger. I subscribe to Michael’s blog and read it everyday. If you don’t,you should.
Podcast Guest
If there is one thing George & Mary-Lynn over at BIGG success now know, I love talking about working from a home office and about blogging. A few weeks ago Mary-Lynn contacted me to ask if I would be interested in do a spot on their wonderful blog BIGG success. It took me all of 2 seconds to decide of course.
I have come to know George & Mary-Lynn through their blog, through email exchanges over the last few months and even by having conversations on twitter. Just one more example of the power of using social media and then following up with an in person phone call.
The three of us had a great conversation a week or so ago and you can listen to the podcast and read part of the interview by visiting TIps to Manage More than One Business from Home.
George & Mary-Lynn are wonderful people and while the podcast is only so long, we had a great conversation which I know could have lasted hours. I plan to visit Chicago in the very near future and they are certainly on my list of must see people.
And while you are there listening to the interview, click that little orange button in the browser address bar and subscribe to their blog. If you are in business, you owe it to yourself to read and listen to BIGG success.
Its great to see you getting all of these wonderful opportunities. You deserve such recognition.
I’ll have to check out the BIGG Success blog.
Grant, it was my pleasure to have you on board for a day. Your post was excellent and the glowing comments from folks who know you really made an impression.
Grant I just read your Blogger Biography over at Remarkablogger. You have such a wonderful story to tell and you tell it so well whether you are writing it, or telling it!
Grant, This is great stuff - and a killer lesson to be learned by us all. Social media can be THE power tool of the microbusiness (and for the big’uns, too; just look at the folks at Zappos.com and the traffic they’re doing from tweeting). You don’t have to be big to find success in the Web 2.0 space. Just tenacious.
I am very new to blogging and the one aspect that is really baffling is coming into the middle of a conversation and not knowing what people are chatting about and who is who…. How can I resolve this and start to be involved, I feel as if I am missing the train all the time… I know I am going to feel a right idiot when its explained.. but I have to take that chance to get with it.
