Social marketing is a growing field right now. Every marketing agency is trying to figure out how it works and every blogger/teenager is claiming they’re an expert.
I found this post in my bookmarks and thought it might be cool to see what you’re opinion was of it. Are you looking for a social media expert? Do you have one that’s any good?

Back when I first started JDsBlog, I posted relentlessly about building your own business and how to become an entrepreneur. Now, every time I go to write a ‘How To Start A Business’ post I just lose steam because I already wrote about it… quite a while ago!
I wanted to point you to a link I found on Twitter. It’s a top 100 entrepreneurs list that I think will prove very valuable to your ‘idea building.’
Perhaps you could make it your personal goal to get in touch with a couple of these entrepreneurs. After all, that’s how I’ve made all my big gun contacts in the last year!!
Here’s the link:

The other day I was looking at putting a couple of my clients info products on DVD’s to ship out. After doing a bit of research I found out the easiest way to compile the ‘video_ts’ and ‘audio_ts’ folder is to convert an .avi file into the finished product.
So, what I found was DVDStyler, an awesome cross platform DVD authoring application for the creation of professional-looking DVDs. It does everything from menus to conversion and is completely open source.
Here’s a quick rundown:
- creation and burning DVD video with interactive menus
- support of AVI, MPEG and other file formats
- support of multi-core processor v1.7.3
- allows using MPEG and VOB files without reencoding
- allows files with different audio/video format on one DVD support of titleset
- user-friendly interface with support of drag & drop
- and a ton more stuff!

Every once in a while, you gotta clean out your Twitter lists.. When you add live on Twitter as much as I do, it’s easy to build up a list of people who stop contributing or do nothing but spam out promotional or job offers..
Me, I’m into Twitter for meeting people and building relationships. Every once in a while if there’s something cool – I’ll promote it. And if I’m doing a new product or something and think my followers will like it, I’ll tweet about it. But that’s it!
Actually, I think my followers get way more out of me than anything else! I’m forever giving away free content :0)
