Blondish.net Podcast: Marketing And Your Business

Marketing and business go hand in hand. You need to market your business. There are many tools or mediums in which to promote your business.

This 20 minute podcast is on marketing and your business. As mentioned within the podcast, this can be for businesses that are online or have a physical location offline. I have shared some well known and not so known mediums in which to promote your business.

For those who have been reading my site, you know I am an advocate for taking advantage of whatever resources are available. I keep repeating this because I know eventually some of you reading will finally understand and finally try each medium out. That is the beauty of marketing. You can try different types of campaigns to see how it will be received by others. Those different campaigns, on top of the various mediums means your presence will eventually be seen.

If you have a business online or offline, and are frustrated…

What are you currently doing to market your business? What mediums are you using to market your business? Are you encouraging and asking for feedback when you conduct your marketing campaigns?

Podcast Presentation: PSD to WordPress

I love to work with WordCamp organizers to fill in the topics that their community wants to hear. I was asked to do a 2 session presentation on PSD to WordPress at WordCamp Columbus 2012. I was honored to be invited back for a second year in a row to speak at their conference.

This presentation is NOT PSD to HTML and CSS. This is the part that does contain some short insight on how to visualize a graphic into is basic framework before applying the code. You WILL have to be familiar with HTML and CSS… though it is not required that you know it by heart as many web designers use web page editor programs much like Dreamweaver.

It is however, as I always emphasize… you should take the chance to learn basic HTML and CSS so that you are not totally reliant on web page editor programs as they may not have all the functionalities you truly need.

Please enjoy the podcast presentation for WordPress to PSD. I have also provided the Powerpoint so you can follow along.

Please note that minus the questions and discussion that was included in the hour and a half presentation, this podcast is about 55 minutes long. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to ask or share.
