The Social Robot: Live from SXSWi

By Kelsey Jones

swswi2012 thumb The Social Robot: Live from SXSWiBethaney and I will be joining the rest of the other tech nerds next week for South by Southwest Interactive, a conference that boasts these impressive stats:

Interactive Conference Participants: 19,364
Interactive Conference Sessions: 935
Approximate Number of Interactive Media in Attendance: 2,508

Yep. Pretty big deal. I’m hoping to meet Rainn Wilson and perhaps make eye contact with Seth McFarlane, wish me luck.

However, all fun aside, there are several amazing sessions led by experts in our industry that we can’t wait to learn a ton from. I will be live tweeting as much as my batteries allow from @wonderwall7 and @thesocialrobot.

Bethaney and I will be attending separate sessions so we can get the most out of the experience. There are several sessions on blogging, content, and social media that we know will not only benefit us as professionals in the internet marketing industry, but our clients as well.

In the meantime, if you’d like to sponsor us in exchange for wearing a company t-shirt or have any suggestions for food/fun/tips in Austin (like the best BBQ or TexMex), let us know.

How to Create a Website Content Development Plan

Guest Post by Sara Lancaster

hands keyboard thumb How to Create a Website Content Development PlanYou’re a web developer, not a website content writer. Sure, you could probably hammer out a few lines of text or pages of content if you had to, but you don’t want to. It’s not your expertise.

You get that, but getting your clients to understand that is a whole other story. As a web designer and/or web developer you have a few ways to overcome this obstacle.

  1. Suck it up and write the content yourself.
  2. Ask the client to write the content.
  3. Create a website content development plan with your client at the get-go and outsource the writing to a content writer you trust.

Finding Blog Ideas Through Google Analytics Keywords

By Kelsey Jones

It’s easy to run out of ideas when it comes to blogging, especially if you are blogging more than once per week.
