What’s Been Happening To Me?

Quite frankly – I’m embarrassed.

My last post here was Feb 4th and although a good post (if I do say so myself!) It’s far too long. Sure, I’ve been active on Twitter but thats all. I’ve not done a video for my YouTube channel, or posted anything new on my Facebook page. Why?

One word – time. 2010 was going to be all out for me, I was going to do so much (I still intend to) but we’re already towards the end of April and as explained earlier, not an awful lot has been done. Or has it?

Well yes it has, but not for the blog and my other platforms (unfortunately). However, it’s not all bad! It’s been a hectic but really good time. During the beginning of the year I made a decision, and that was to leave my job at Ladbrokes after 2 years of working on the SEO for their Casino. Although a great role and a challenging industry – the business did not seem to want to move forward at a quick enough pace to keep up with the online world.

So – some job hunting began and a couple of interviews later, I see myself as an account manager at I Spy Marketing which is a fantastic opportunity for me. I started on 1st March and since then, it’s just been busy busy busy!

So what does this mean for the blog and my other channels? Well quite a lot. I have been playing around with the blog theme for a while, and I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to make it “right”. I may still be yet to get there, so again more playing around will be happening. This has been instead of posting for the time being, so I have been working

I’ve also decided to try something new. And that is Audio. I feel that I will be able to produce more regular information for you and in turn make my content more accessible by allowing you to download and listen on the go! So yes, I will be starting out Podcasting and seeing how that goes.

This won’t be designed to replace the blog or any of my other platforms, but it will be a solution I feel would be worth adopting to allow me to continue to produce content. Each Podcast will be posted here too.

No doubt, my first attempts won’t be that good – they are likely to be pretty rough round the edges but would like to think that over the course of time they will not only improve in production quality, but in popularity too.

So, I think that’s it for now. I’ve been looking around for jingles etc to add to the Podcasts, but I think I better just get stuck in and add them later. I will of course let you know when the first episode is posted as I would love to have your feedback!

If there is anything specific you would like to hear, please let me know. I am hoping to hold a Q and A section where you can post your questions as a comment, or via Twitter. It would be good to hear about what you would like to know about SEO and Social Media.

At the moment, if you would like to keep up to date with what I am up to, I really encourage you follow me on Twitter as that is where I am most active at the moment.

OK – so off I go to try my hand at Podcasting!

Update (26/04/10): It was published in New Media Age magazine and online about my appointment at I Spy Marketing – My name in lights!
