Disclaimer: I may or may not be slightly overtired from moving. And I may or may not have had a glass of wine very recently while doing a bit of work. OK, fine. I am and I did. Grammar police and any other police-y type peeps, don’t hate. Appreciate. Ha. OK, right… onward. So I don’t actually know what a donkey’s tickler is. I totally made that part up. hehe But really...
Howdy BGB’ers. So. On average, five tweets per second contain a Vine link, according to research from tech company Unruly. Consider Vine reports more than 40 million registered users and parent company Twitter reports more than 241 million active monthly users, and you can imagine the potential reach of those six-second videos. Like, woah. YouTube gets more than 1 billion unique visitors...
This is a handy infographic courtesy of WhoIsHostingThis.com. Obviously LinkedIn can be a valuable social platform in successful business building. But are you using it effectively? If at all? My guess is that you (like me) could stand to learn a trick or two on increasing the effectiveness of your LI efforts in the least amount of time. So keep a readin’ and let me know if you found this...
Products and services may determine how customers value businesses, but those companies may never get a shot at their target clientele without an effective brand strategy. Ouch. Harsh huh. Brands have plenty of work to do in a competitive market. Not only must they establish and promote themselves to the right customers, they must do so in a way that differentiates them from competing brands...
Considering BGB has been hacked twice in the last 2 years or so, I thought this was an informative infographic to share. Thank you to God both times BGB was hacked it wasn’t “too” serious and I didn’t lose any data. But I very well could have, and that’s a little scary. Which means I should probably start investigating and putting a disaster recovery plan of my own...
I’d say that’s an affirmative my lovely. Your brand has gone mobile, whether you’ve taken it there or not. Or at least your clients have. So if you haven’t yet, you should probably get on it. Your clients are reading your emails, searching for your products, and viewing your website right from their phones. You need to engage on this level, and when you’re not, it...
With more than 28 million businesses licensed in the United States, according to the latest U.S. Census data, how do you get your company noticed? How do you help your brand stand out? Or more importantly, once noticed, how do you get your people to remember you? Danceupanddown,doalittlejig,wavingyourhandsaroundlikeacrazywoman,err,man?

Ya’ll have heard of Vine right? Vine my darlings, not vino. (Although a little vino at the moment wouldn’t be remiss. But I digress.) So I’ll admit I’m a slacker in the Vine department and haven’t messed with it yet. But methinks I might jump on the bandwagon, and mayhap you should too. But first let me tell you why. 😉 The growth in the number of mobile devices on...
This is my latest guest post over on Copyblogger. If you’re a writer, and you work from home, this one’s for you. 😉 And hey, even if you just work at home, you might find a nugget or two. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Is your business in need of a Red Bull? Wait, scratch that, I think I’m in need of a Red Bull. This has been an exhausting week, let me tell ya. Alas, I won’t bore you with the deets, so let’s talk biz. And yes, your business may very well be in need of a Red Bull too. (Good thing they make that stuff, eh? hehe) According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 55 percent of...
