How to Get Published on a Premium Tech Blog — BlogWorld Expo Blog The word “influence” has become one of the most popular buzzwords across the blogosphere and apparently there’s a right way to garner influence, and a wrong way. For most tech bloggers, influence is about becoming a thought leader on a specific topic in order to reach a business or personal goal. So whether you’re the world’s foremost Android expert, a hardcore coder or a complete gadget nut, the reason to strive for influence is to establish credibility – and you can’t do that alone. Someone already influential needs to vouch for you. Last March I wrote an article about CDBaby founder Derek Siver’s TED Talk. Consistently adding value to readers’ lives; and,Having that value publicly recognized by credible first followers. PUBLICATIONS CAN BE YOUR FIRST FOLLOWER When you write for an acclaimed web property, it’s as if the site’s editors are ushering your ideas in with their seal of authority.

Maggie Brooks is our escape artist extraordinaire A good magician never reveals her secrets. But what about an escape artist? Here in Monroe County, we're blessed with one of America's greatest working escape artists — The Maggician. Chain Maggie Brooks to an anvil, lock her in a crypt, drop the crypt in the lake and she'll still show up at the zoo two hours later — dry as a bone — for a press conference to announce the birth of an otter or a chimp. Facebook : See what people are saying about this column I don't know how she does it. "My husband is a personal issue," Brooks explained at a news conference Wednesday, a few hours after Bob "Personal Issue" Wiesner was marched across Exchange Boulevard in handcuffs. So when your personal personnel issue is persecuted politically by partisan prosecutors, well, of course that's private. How will she wriggle free as the rest of this scandal unfolds? Step one: Make the whole thing seem impossibly boring. Look, we're talking about a scandal involving impenetrable county management logistics.

It’s far too easy for corporate politics and personal preferences to drive the features and processes of a website unless you consciously force the client — and yourself, at times — to focus on the needs of the users and the purpose of the site. Outlining the basic requirements and goals also helps to limit scope creep later on in the project. Especially because many clients are non-technical, they struggle to explain what they want in the context of websites. By providing them with a list of questions, they can fill in the blanks for you without feeling like they are expected to know how to design a website. After all, that’s what they’re paying you to do, right? How to Avoid Website Project Disasters It’s best to customize these questions per client. 1. 2. Tough? 3. 4. Is the audience young?

How Much Do Top Tier Bloggers and Social Media Consultants Get Paid? We Asked Them! The media world is changing and its jobs are changing too. The rise of the blogger is an often-told story, but are the lucky few bloggers who do it for a living well paid? We did a survey to find out. We asked 20 top-tier tech bloggers and social media consultants to tell us how much they get paid, by the post, by the hour or by the month - however their rates are set. Half of them told us, on the condition that we wouldn't disclose who they were or where they worked. The end result is an anecdotal overview of what some of the top tech bloggers and social media consultants are making. There are a handful of people in tech blogging that make even more than this but the vast majority of people who get paid to blog get paid far less. Our methodology was to email people we trust to be honest and who trust us to keep their identities secret, and ask them to post anonymously their rates and the rates they can confirm of co-workers or employees they've overseen within the last year.

How to Write a Post for Lifehacker Pretty obvious stuff but a nice reference. What is the preferred method of sending in a longer post? By email or through the #tips page? @gameripper: Either is fine with us. Though if you check out the end of this article, we did make a new tag, #readerpost, from which you can post it directly. We'll be following that as well. @Whitson Gordon: In addition, if I write a post on my own blog and think "hey, this is also Lifehacker-worthy", can I just post the link in either #readerpost or e-mail it? On a different note... is Adam on a "offtopic" hunt? @Firesphere: Yeah, you can definitely post it on your own blog and post the link. Yeah, I think with the new comment system, since we now have the opportunity, we're just trying to keep threads a bit clearer.
