Admittedly the entire staff, with the exception of Mike Mueller, has a tendency to treat LinkedIn.com as a long lost cousin. We were excited to meet then the interest waned.

But that’s about to change …

Listen to the archive replay. Viv joins at about :30 minutes in …

Join us on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 for our special guest Viveka von Rosen who will change our relationship with LinkedIn forever. Or until Wednesday! No, seriously this is one you don’t want to miss if you have any hope of building an online community or joining an online community of business professionals.

Listen live to the podcast on Blog Talk Radio and make sure to get into the active chat room!

From Viv’s website these words give a good clue as to what we are in for:

Viveka focuses on working with entrepreneurs, people who are either in business for themselves or want to be.  “So often we are on the verge of success but either don’t have the marketing background or self belief to make it… It’s all about relationship building and showing my clients how to transform the relationships they already have into channels of income.”

That’s me. In fact I think I have that tattoo … verge of success!

Do us a favor and invite your friends, retweet, Facebook like – whatever. Just make sure you and your friends don’t miss this chance to sit with Viv for FREE and learn more about this incredible opportunity to join with other business professionals around the world.

That’s where Phil Hollows and his feedblitz.com come in. “FeedBlitz automates turning publisher blogs and feeds into customized marketing communications using our integrated RSS feed management, Email marketing and Social Media services.” Essentially you get a very professional looking newsletter from RSS feeds compiled and sent to your list.

You may ask, “but why a fee service when there are so many others for free?” Aha! Great question – Phil will answer it because he answers so much more intellectually about his own service. I will let a small cat out of the bag and say, “the answer will blow you away.”

Join us at noon eastern on BlogTalkRadio for the live interview and be sure to get into the chat room where the activity can turn into riotous fun!

On September 14, 2010 we were joined by yet another great citizen of this planet. Adam Garone co-founded Movember which has since gone on to raise tens of millions of dollars to wage war on men’s cancer.

“The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia.  The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health.  Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.” – Movember.com

So why bring back the mustache? “To change the face of men’s health”, repeats Garone time and again.

On demand publishing allows for books to be edited on the move and changed or updated to correct editorial “brutal flaws” or errors in statistics. Take the criticism the outside world is giving you about your book and adjust it accordingly – if that’s your direction.

What if you wrote a book about social media and your main topic company fails miserably? In traditional publishing all of the books you have had printed become obsolete. With on demand publishing you can take the book off the market, make the necessary edits, change your market verbiage and you’re back in the go.

Sean joined us for a very informative session. He comes on air around the 30 minute mark.
