Let’s look at what Vine is, How easy it is to use and 5 ways you can use it now to Rock Your Visual Social Media Marketing.
STOP THE SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSES. Buffer and Feeddler are an item. I couldn’t have dreamed up a more suitable couple to help me streamline my social media posting. When I heard that they had hooked up, I did a happy dance. In fact I was so happy that I ditched my just completed blog post to replace it with this one. Let me elaborate on why I am so happy…

I shoot photos for my blog with a “real camera,” but sometimes all I have with me is my iPhone. And, to be honest, sometimes people can’t even tell the difference. Heck, even professional photographers are starting to shoot weddings using only their iPhones!
In this Post, I will show you how to use cheap, easy to use Photo Editing Apps to create stunning, share-worthy images for your blog, website or social media platforms.
Channel 10 has done it again. The Television Network has leveraged the power of Super Fans on Social Media to spread the word about their new offering: Puberty Blues, a drama series set in 70s Australia and based around the lives of two girls growing up around Cronulla Beach in Sydney.
Set to hit TV screens on August 15th, Puberty Blues is already getting some great reviews for the cast and portrayal of life in the 70s…sure to be a trip down memory lane for many Australians.

So what has me buzzing this morning? It’s not just the fact that I got to watch the premiere episode last night on my iMac before its television release next week. It’s not just the familiar faces of some of Australia’s most well-loved actors. It’s not just the childhood memories the show elicits. It’s the fact that Channel 10 are using Social Media in innovative ways. Again. [Read more...]
Thomas Edison once said “Genius: one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” Scott Belsky took this quote to heart. He may not have invented the light globe, but he sure did reinvent the link between creativity and productivity for me, and many others that have discovered his work.
Now there is a Way to Deal With all of Your Light Bulb Moments!
I want to introduce you to 3 tools: a Book, an App and a Blog that have helped me to change the way that I look at my creativity, my ideas and most importantly, how I act on them. [Read more...]
I love Apps for fun…and especially for business.They help me keep productivity high when I have a lot on, and they fit in my pocket on my smartphone! I wanted to share with you 3 of my favorite Apps for “lightening the load”.
Apps. Love.
Think of it in terms of “Carry less, Do More”. Read on for my top 3…I am sure you will wonder where you ever were without them!
1. EVERNOTE
I am a big lover of Evernote…it is an awesome program that allows you to clip, save and post your ideas, notes, photos, webpages, clips, audio and documents into one big filing system in the “cloud” that is accessible and synchronizable from any of your devices (PC, laptop, smartphone)… and of course it comes as an app for smartphones and iPad. Better still, an offline version of your data is backed up to every device so you always have access to a copy to edit and play with before syncing it back into the system. Evernote has also integrated with the Google Chrome search. This means that when you search Google Chrome, it also searches your Evernote files….looking for words within your documents (including PDF and web pages) as well as tags you designate. It’s a bit like searching your brain! Everything is stored in the cloud and all you have to do is sync your devices to update them. SImple. Evernote. Everhelpful.
2. KEY RING (KEY RING REWARDS CARDS)
I have been using the Keyring App for a year or more now. I love it and it has made my wallet sooooo much lighter. Are you familiar with all of those barcoded membership and loyalty cards you receive from favorite coffee shops, superstores, kids entertainment venues, video stores (the list goes on)..? Well no longer do you have to carry them! Just scan the barcode into your Keyring App and voila…instant barcode, stored on your phone. Believe it or not your local favorite store can scan your barcode (I have had the entire staff at a chemist crowd around to watch it work!). If the barcode reader does not pick it up well, then the staff member can easily key in the numbers from your barcode to access your details. Just yesterday I used it at the Cinemas as well as my local Video store. Give it a try. The seams of your wallet will thank you!
3. CAMCARD Just like Keyring, Camcard has lightened my load. It allows me to take a photo of all the business cards I pick up, and the program then enters all the relevant info from the card into contact fields on my phone…complete with fields like email, website and phone. It is remarkably accurate, however I always recommend that you check the final entries against the original card before discarding it – especially where the font or graphics on the card are not easy to read. Better still, you end up having two versions saved…the visual card or photo of it as well as the details going into your contacts!
So there they are. My three favorite Apps at the moment. Bear in mind that all of them have “free” and “paid” verions. The cost to purchase the pro version or extended version for each is minimal but I recommend trying the free version first and then consider upgrading!
Have you tried any of these Apps? If you do, tell me what you think and whether your wallet is any lighter as a result!
Have you discovered Instagram yet? I can guarantee that you have….even if you do not realise it. You may be sitting here thinking “Insta-who?”, but I just know that you would have looked at a photo somewhere, sometime, that has been “Instagrammed”, and thought “What a cool shot”. Instagram Photos are everywhere. They hang out on your phone or in an email, on Facebook, or Twitter. They are fun. And they make the ordinary look awesome.
So, here are my 7 Reasons Why I love Instagram (and why I reckon you should check it out). Instagram is free to download…but the fun you get out of it is priceless! PS Warning: Once you go Instagram, you will never go back!
Ok, so I will cut to the chase. I have way too many projects on.
Probably not such a smart move. However. I am glad. Yes glad. Because it has given me two benefits….
