Mom 2.0 Summit – Help Me Make Our Session ROCK
Next week, I will be speaking at Mom 2.0 Summit. HARD TO BELIEVE IT’S NEXT WEEK. After agreeing to do it last year, it seemed like it was going to be so long ago, and now it’s here. In case case, the title of our panel is The Written Word – How (and When) to …

EDITED since post to clarify author’s involvement with the video… Video is something that we have been experimenting with for book promotion for a couple of years now. It’s a tricky medium.

Being on the Blog to Book panel was more amazing than I could imagine. I was so nervous, but it seemed to go well.

How would you make a "LinkedIn For Dummies"?
The Dummies team is working on a LinkedIn book. At first, the response around the table was that LinkedIn is pretty easy and most people would not need a book to set up a LinkedIn account.
