Help ME Help YOU

02.04.2014 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

imagesLast week I had a call with someone I’d been introduced to. Before the call I took a quick look at the website to learn a bit more about them. It looks like they’re just getting started, so they have a simple one page  site. And as I read the bit of content it said “please contact us with questions.”

And guess what?

No contact info. No “click here” no “submit” no email address.

I’ve come across this before- and I mentioned it in my newsletter last month. Help me, Help YOU. If I can’t contact you, how can I hire you or get a quote for a client? Your website needs to have at least one way for people to get in touch with you. If you look on my site, you won’t find my phone number. Why? Well, it’s my cell phone and my personal number as well. I don’t want people calling me at all hours of the day and night. Sure I could get a business line but so far, I don’t need it. I prefer email.  It’s fine if you prefer the phone, send me an email and ask to setup some time to talk.

Take a quick look at your website- can I contact you? And while you’re at it, double check your social media- is your contact info (if necessary- which it is for LinkedIn & Facebook) up to date?

REBOUND: How to Leverage Failures into Success

My friend Jimmy Kwan at turnstone hosts some GREAT events, and this one looks to be another winner. Hope to see you there!

 

Thursday, February 20th

eWomenNetwork Luncheon

You know my love of eWomenNetwork! This is a fantastic organization for women in business who are looking to grow their business, get education, and have a community of like minded people in their corner. This organization has been instrumental in Yellow Dog’s success!

I’m also speaking to a UW Entrepreneurial Marketing class at the end of February. I’m excited to be invited back to help mold young minds, or totally screw them up. Either way, it’ll be a fun day!

If you’re looking for other events in the region I suggest PSBJ events, and the Startup Seattle calendar!

What events are you checking out in February?

January Pop Culture Round Up

01.28.2014 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

Well, January was a great month for Pop Culture I think. We had the Golden Globes with my two favorite ladies, we had the Grammy’s with a couple of very cool performances (Chicago AND Robin Thicke? 33 couples got MARRIED? wow) and I got the nasty cold going around so did some binge watching. Evidently my Pop Culture New Years Resolution was to get caught up to live on some TV shows.

When I get a cold, all I want to do is lay on the couch and watch TV. Last year I read The Revolution Was Televised by Alan Sepinwall and TV critic that I’ve grown to like after reading this book. In the book he discusses 12 shows that revolutionized television. And so I’ve tried to watch a couple of them of them, since I’d only watched 2 of them! The first one I’m watching is Friday Night Lights. I don’t like football, BUT man this show is great. It’s kind of a slow burn show, and great drama and people who really love and care for each other. Everyone needs a Coach Taylor in their life!

Veronica Mars. After I backed the movie on Kickstarter and got my tshirt, I realized I needed to FINISH the series which I’ve owned for years. So, with a few quiet TV weeks to start the year I finally finished the series. It was great, and now I’m REALLY excited for the movie.

Justified. I really like this show, and finally finished Season 3, and when I heard Season 4 was on Amazon Prime, I watched 9 episodes in one sick day…yes, you are jealous. Season 4 was MUCH better than Season 3, and Season 2 will always be one of my favorite seasons of TV EVER. ( the John Lithgow season of Dexter is on that list). I’m now caught up and watching Season 5 live.

Sherlock. I have loved every episode of this show, but for some reason the 90 minute time frame always keeps me from popping in an episode to watch when there’s nothing on TV. I finally watched Season 2 of the show, and WOW it was great. I have Season 3 on the DVR to catch up on hopefully this week. 3 episodes is never enough, but when they’re SO spectacular I’m OK with it.

Up next…Doctor Who (I’m still on the Pond’s eps), Orphan Black, and  Luther.

Books

SuperGraphic-secondgalleysecondproof.indd

Super Graphic. I got this book for Christmas and quickly devoured it. It’s infographics on comic book characters. It’s a nerds dream come true. It’s the PERFECT gift for any comic book lover in your life.

Visitation Street. I read about this book in Entertainment Weekly a few months ago. It was $2 on Amazon Kindle a while back so I picked it up, and just started reading it this weekend. So far, so good. I’ll hopefully have a full report next week!

The Walking Dead. Good grief, with the absence of the TV show they doubled up on the comics, and I missed that memo so I’m all out of whack and behind since I have issue 116 and 118, and now it’s up to 120. Yes folks, THESE are my issues in life…

That’s what’s up in my pop culture world to get the year started- how about you? Any pop culture resolutions?
