On Thursday, March 2 The Blog Squad will be conducting a 30 minute interview with A-List blogger, Steve Rubel as part of his social media tour.  The interview will not be open to the public, but it will be recorded and we'll post it here for all to enjoy.

I've been reading Steve's blog, Micro Persuasion since 2004 and appreciate that he's got his finger on the pulse of what's going on in the media, PR, blogs, Web 2.0, podcasting and other social media.

You can hear more great interviews with A-List bloggers on our Conversations with Experts series. The interviews are available as mp3 downloads or on CD.

Additionally, we're offering a 4 CD blogging program on eBay if you're looking for a deal!

Buttcamp and Blogs

  After lunch today, Tom got on to blogs.  After giving a good overview of blogs and their benefits, he surprised me and Patsi by asking us to come up and give a 10 minute spiel about blogs.  Fortunately we know our subject and we were able to project our blog on the screen and show some of the features and how they can help businesses.

This is what makes Tom a great mentor. He's generous and wants us to succeed as well as acknowledges when others might know more than he does, on a specific subject.

5. Ebay direct sales

More to come. (There's Patsi taking notes.)
