Blog Ping Pod Social Media Education is ready to go!

Today, after a week of trauma, puppy deaths, kids out for summer, on and on, I accomplished something I am proud of. Many of my friends, my family, my clients needed to know something they didn't know, and I helped them with that. The news is below, but I am so happy to have accomplished something grand despite all the demands and tools life takes of us. I hope this Internet, Web and Online Social Communications Guide will help people successfully compete online. I know it helped me, and I know I needed to know what I did not!


 

The world is out there filled with people who like to define us as humans, I can only really attempt to define myself. I needed to know this and know I know what I know but there is more to learn, more to know, more to come. I hope someone out there agrees but you know it does not really matter. As long as I am happy and those I care about our happy.


 

To the ten friends so far who have learned something, and love it, thank you! This is a landmark day for me, one I hope my kids, my dogs, birds, cats, siblings and friends will smile about. Kim Power Stilson

Two work-at-home moms, both with hectic lives, decided life would be easier if they figured out how to succeed online like the Pro-bloggers and other online businesses. They made two discoveries. First, there was a lot they did not know, like what is a Wiki and Twitter. Second, they realized it wasn't as intimidating as it sounded. They shared the information with their friends and other entrepreneurs who all insisted they needed it all down in a guidebook. So, Kim collaborated with Debbie to research, write and present: Get online and Blog, Ping, Pod, Stream, Bookmark, Blast, Release, Wiki, Widget, Web, Link, Avatar, Tag & Twitter! What is it and how do I do it? An Education Guide to the Internet, the World Wide Web and Online Social Media Communications!


 

According to Kim Power Stilson, marketing strategist, the guide combined with her new 24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing Strategy Guide & Workbook is the culmination of 17 years of hard work, marketing while raising kids, dogs, etc. She believes the Internet and World Wide Web are a tremendous convenience for working moms, single parents and small businesses.


 

"Life online is easier! I'm positive they invented the Internet and World Wide Web for busy women," says Kim. "Everything I need to do, purchase, sell and find is all online! How convenient is that? I wanted everyone to know how to use the offerings and tool available online!"


 

According to Debbie Cluff, mother of three and master educator, founder of Links for Learning, having an online tutoring business inspired her to help women and parents find a comfortable way to use online tools to their advantage. She sees that working, playing and learning online brings convenience and success and most moms, parents and people need that benefit.


 

"We could totally see us on the Ellen Show helping all the women in the world learn how to blog, ping, pod, etc., and we loved the idea of women using this knowledge to get better jobs, work from home, and succeed online," said Debbie. "As an educator I thought it would be fun to teach something everyone wants and needs to learn!"

Using the Online World to Our Advantage!

The Internet and World Wide Web give us so many opportunities to communicate and connect to people previously unreachable at all ends of the earth. Communication on the Internet and World Wide Web is essential in everything we do from the social aspects to promoting a successful business. Why would anyone ever put off learning something so essential just because it's new and unknown? Even more than the knowing how to use the microwave, which I feel was fairly essential to eating regularly in college, 'getting the hang of" the Internet and the World Wide Web gives amazing, informative, and lucrative opportunities for those who embrace it.

Most of us are not educated in how to use the Online World to our personal and professional advantage. People who are able to successfully navigate online will not easily give away the secrets to how this is done. Yet, I have always felt the first step in becoming a great, is to gain education in all areas of what you want to achieve. In order to connect to the online world, you are going to have to educate yourself, as Debbie would say, in the 5 W's which are Who, Where, What, When, and Why of this Internet and World Wide Web.

This guide was written from the perspective of a journey of how my grandma and I would have figured out this together. It's not technical and it may not be perfectly accurate yet because I wanted to learn enough to successful on the Internet and World Wide Web and leave the blank stares behind me forever, it works. So, even though I can't build a website I do know what to ask for and expect when I contract with someone to build one for me. I don't know as much as a "Problogger" (a professional blogger who makes money through the site he/she blogs) but I can talk intelligently with one. Probloggers seem to have the world by a string, but I have not read a Problogger yet who could have out blogged my grandma had she been around to blog today.

Path to Social Media

I could blame being an overwhelmed hard-working mother of 4 dogs, 3 kids, 2 birds and a cat for one of the reasons I wasn't up on terms like Social Media, Live Web, and Widgets but there are a few women with the same description above perhaps with a few less pets who make millions of dollars every year knowing all the above. That's right millions.

The Internet and the World Wide Web are not some deep dark mysterious secret that you need a key or a brilliant brain to unlock, though some of the articles you have seen may seem to be written in another language, it's simply a lot of new information and new information when you already have a lot on your plate can be overwhelming.

If you secretly wonder what a blog is then you are not alone. My good friend Kristen Lamb, co-founder of Planetary Streams International, a Social Media and Marketing company likes to say, "You don't know what you don't know!" Like my grandma and the microwave, her grandma and the TV and me and my iPod, we won't know until we ask for help. People brave enough to admit they have no idea what a blog or ping or any of the above in the title are the ones who get to reap the rewards.

I wanted the answers and needed the resources so I started asking questions. I discovered that some people understood it all and some understood it very little. The ones who knew it all often lacked the patience or the time to explain in a way I could understand. Overall, I gave and got more blank stares than an entire class room of Algebra students before I finally just decided to figure it out myself. That's when I decided to talk to the best teacher I know, Debbie Cluff. She is truly a "zany" little lady and a master educator, born and raised in Pasadena, California, who seems to have a knack for turning the complex into an elementary
