1 Good Reason - Internet Marketing

I could have written about how some firms just don’t get it. Like when I wrote about Esurance not getting it with Erin Esurance’s poor social media showing. I could even have written a follow up to the follow up piece about that. Or maybe I should have written about how Kristin Brewe, Director of Brand & Public Relations at Esurance promised me an exclusive on future Erin Esurance news and then failed to follow through on that offer. (I didn’t ask Kristin, you offered. When you make an unsolicited offer to someone you should follow through, in Real Life and in Social Media).

But no, I didn’t decide to write about the rapidly evolving Social Media landscape.

How to connect with people in the social realm, now that’s a good topic. People always want to know about that. I recently wrote the Guide to Social Media Guides which is a good place to start. A while ago I also discussed my personal experiences with How I Game Social Media which was also popular with all 4 of my readers (thanks family.)

That’s what I could have written about,
if I had half a brain. But Noooooooo

I still had to look for something different. Hell, I could even write about Mariah Carey, that post got lots of traffic, too.

Now, I don’t want to shoot the president (of the United States). And I should probably steer clear of writing about that again. Although I got lots and lots of friend requests from the Middle East on Facebook after that. But it’s best not to stir up that hornet’s nest again.

Hmmm, seems to be a theme building here. My most popular posts are about Sex (Erin & Mariah), and Politics (The President) and Guides (Social Media).

So maybe I should write a Guide to Sex and Politics?

But honestly, there are many that are much better qualified than me to write about these things. (And now you’re wondering why there aren’t any links here? Links to these better guides to sex and politics? Because I’m an SEO guy and I know that Google doesn’t like links to unsavory neighborhoods. So you won’t find them here. But you could find them here.)

So now I’ve avoided the obvious best choices to write about, what’s left? Well, I could have decided to discuss the discussion. Talk about talking. It is after all, the Age of Conversation, so it would appropriate to discuss it. So is that what I decided to write about?

Actually, I’m not allowed to tell you, show you, or post the chapter I wrote about for the book The Age of Conversation. All I’m allowed to do is show you a little snippet of what I wrote:

There are Non-Human Entities among us. Many people have seen them, or claim to have seen them. They move amongst us quietly, unseen by most. However, they carry immense power. These things can make or break companies, individuals, and careers.

There that’s it. I can’t tell you more. No! Don’t Ask Me Again! You’re just trying to get me into trouble! So just leave me alone about this. OK? Why don’t you read what some of the other authors write about:
