In November I spoke at nextMEDIA: Monetizing Digital Media. I got some major props for my talk, and a lot of people who heard about it have asked me to write it all down and share it online for everyone. I’m still working on that, taking my time because I want to do the subject justice. In the meantime here is my 20 minute talk edited down to 7 minutes. I hope you enjoy it! Please feel free to post any questions in the comments and I’ll be happy to answer them.

If you’d like me to speak at your organization, please drop me a line.

Speaking at Case Camp Toronto 6

I’ll be presenting a case study at Case Camp Toronto 6 next Tuesday, November 20th. My topic will be “Building compelling identity in social media spaces” where I will present my online identity as a case study for how to build audience and brand awareness.

This is a bit different than the average Case Camp presentation because I’ll be talking about how my personal brand mixes with my personal life online. The trick will be to make it relevant for the business audience, and I’ve got a few ideas. I’ll also post my slides up here after the presentation. If anyone in attendance will be taping, please let me know and I’d love to post it here also.
