Walking the Social Talk
These boots were made for talking
As editor of Women Grow Business (disclosure: client, which I love), I come across remarkable blog posts every day.
This is because the contributing bloggers are all remarkable women, and I am truly lucky to be able to see life through their eyes. And I try, as much as possible, to let their voices come through; as a result, my editing is usually minimal.
Even with the extremely high quality of posts I’m lucky to edit, one really stood out to me last week. It was Robin Ferrier’s Social is as Social Does, where she asked, point-blank:

You have an idea about how you can and should use each one. You know the standard refrain: Social media is about talking with – not talking to – your audience.
But are you walking the walk?
Getting My WGBiz Groove On
Hard drive or no hard drive, life must go on, right?
Which is why I’m really glad today’s finally here. I’ll be heading out to the first-ever Women Grow Business Boot Camp shortly (thank you, sponsors Network Solutions and Steptoe & Johnson LLP), which, if the “buzz” and enthusiasm for is anything to go by, will be quite remarkable.
Here’s the 4-1-1 on it, and if you’d like to join us virtually, we’ll be live-streaming it today (thank you, Stacy Yamaoka of Yayastream!). Ready? Just stay current with the schedule, and press “play” below at 9:30 am ET today. Else, you can follow/join the conversation on Twitter, by using the #wgbiz hashtag.
See you there!

Of dogs, guacamole and groupies
Disclosure, though I hope you already know this: I’m editor of Women Grow Business, a Network Solutions-hosted blog community by, for and of women entrepreneurs. I’m paid to do this, though I was not paid (or asked) to cross-post this announcement. I chose to do so because I think it might be useful for some of my readers.
When I started editing Women Grow Business, I knew it would be a trip and a half, but I don’t think I realized what a wild ride it would be. Seriously, I think WGB has spam groupies who insist on trying to sell men’s shoes. Whaaa… ??
Couldn’t we get a flash mob instead? (Image: Richard Wood, Creative Commons)
But anyway, founding editor Jill Foster came over one afternoon in January to walk me through the ins and outs of it, and afternoon turned to evening, through which we fortified ourselves with wine, olives, chips and guacamole (my dogs were particularly interested in the latter).
