I think I’ve finally come to an agreement with Focal Press on the title for my new book:
Return on Engagement
What do you think? Focal requires a sub-title as well, so we have tentatively agreed to:
The Web Designer’s Field Guide to Digital Marketing
I’m a bit hesitant to restrict the book to only web designers because I think anyone who creates web content could benefit from it, but then again maybe I’m a bit biased.
Got any ideas? Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
Also, I’m on the hunt for good case study subjects! I’m particularly interested in people who have gotten some sort of tangible return on their social media or web content efforts. If you know anyone, please contact me. Thanks a gajillion.
I’ve been doing a bunch of research for this new book I’m writing and as part of that have been swallowing web design books whole on a near daily basis, so I posted a bunch of reviews, thoughts and general impressions to the Mightybytes blog:
The Arts & Business Council of Chicago Workshop went really well with sixty participants representing arts and non-profit organizations all over the greater Chicagoland area in attendance. The presentation covered strategies and production tips for managing your online presence, including website improvements, content updates and social media techniques as well as tools like WordTracker,Website Grader,TubeMogul, Google Alerts and Analytics.
Ratings from the 64 participants who attended this workshop:
“Tim had the highest ratings, across the board, when asked to rate Content, Presentation and Style.”
What the participants had to say about this workshop:
“Engaging powerpoint – easy to follow”
“We loved Tim’s knowledge of tools we can immediately use”
“Nice speaker presence!”
“It dealt with the subject in a very practical way that was understandable”
“Informative, engaging!”
“Tim did a great job!”
“Much better than ‘Cats’!”
(OK, just kidding on that last one.) If you would like a copy of the slide deck from this workshop, you can get it from the link below.
Many thanks to the Association of Educational Publishers for asking me to give a workshop at their annual summit. Fast, Cheap and Under Control was a three hour session that covered the basics of setting up, populating and promoting a blog using WordPress with a variety of plug-ins and social media tools. The AEP folks covered the workshop on their blog.
