Everything you need to know about me can be learned by reading this blog. If that’s not enough then you are really really nosy. I’m not famous. This means that you can write something bad about me in your blog and it will not be picked-up by People magazine. But don’t let that stop you.
I just read a comment about my blog that suggested I write more personal information about myself. Like a resume. So you have that blogger’s permission to continue reading without feeling nosy. My education was many and often and I hated it. I changed my major several times but it was mostly Journalism at the University of Nevada and dramaturgy at UCLA. My early jobs varied and were for fairly high pay so I developed a distorted view of my worth and of the economy. I was a carpenter on the Alaska pipeline. I was the editor of L.A. showguide — a Los Angeles movie review, restaurant review, and event review magazine. The last twenty-five years I’ve been self-employed. I’ve owned (with my wife) a flower shop. I’ve been a marine surveyor. I’ve repaired yachts. Presently I own the smallest shipping agency in the Caribbean.

Hi,
In a few weeks I’m going to be presenting to 50 accommodation owners in Noosa, Australia on the subject of social media. It is not a paid-for gig but something I am doing to help Tourism Noosa and the local community.
Incredibly, there is a significant % of them who are yet to commit to blogging. I was wondering if I could feature your blog in that presentation and include some insights from your experience over the last 2 or 3 years. Specifically, these points:
- your top 5 tips
- the value it has returned to you in terms of traffic or repeat custom
- what resources you found useful or subscribe to
I very much look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.
Matt
As part of my strategy to grow the online student population I have been using and promoting via social media, it’s working beautifully. Our Facebook page has growalmost 300% since we launch it and it has become a working community for our students, faculty and staff.
