Personal Brand Wins: Checking In With Hannah DeMilta

If you’ve ever seen me do my talk on dead resumes and Building Brand YOU, you may have heard about my friend Hannah DeMilta already. She used Twitter and her own personal brand work to land a job in Sydney, Australia right after college Working to build your personal gets a bad wrap sometimes. Lots of people call it ego-centric, ‘salesy’ and even a waste of time. I disagree. Very much. I think Hannah’s story is a testament as to why college students should be spending as much time socializing socializing on the Interwebz as they do at college parties. Students should be using college years to start a blog and develop the discipline it takes to maintain a blogging practice. Hannah is already reaping some of the rewards from the efforts she’s made. Not to shabby… I was super excited when a Skype message poped up on my desktop saying that she’d be state side for a few weeks. During our lunch, I had the chance to check in with her as to what experience has been like living in Sydney, and working with in a high-growth agency like Switched on Media.

Hootsuite How To: Schedule Tweets for Content Marketing

If you were hanging around here yesterday, we talked a little about the three critical success factors that concoct the secret sauce to short form content marketing.  Do you remember what they are? In todays post, we go a bit more into a tactical application of these ideas, using a new feature in a popular social media dashboard that you may already be using – Hootsuite. If you’ve not tried it out yet, go back and click that link to get the free account. If you sign up for a Pro Account (which I use), you’ll make me a few dollars. Fair enough? Why I Use Hootsuite Honestly, I’ve been using Hootsuite since about 2009, when I made the switch from Tweetdeck. The more popular Tweetdeck desktop application at the time was bogging down my Macbook Pro while running other applications. At the time, Hootsuite was the first application to take a stab at running the dashboard up in the cloud, which was appealing enough to hook me into a trial. Since that time, there’s been a lot of development of new features and even a big pitfall along the way. It’s a pretty typical technology start up in that sense. My top 5 Hootsuite features today are what follows.  In this post, I’ll let you in on how I apply the features in my everyday short form content marketing routine: Hootlet Chrome Extension — allows you to build and schedule content sharing tweets directly from Chrome as you are browsing. There’s a Firefox add-on as well. Hootsuite for Andriod — Personally, I think Hootsuite mobile is one of the better mobile twitter apps out there. I like that it mirrors my desktop set up, and it makes scheduling Retweets nearly painless and extremely quick. You can find an iPhone app as well as an app for iPad. I’ve [...]
