In Episode 004 of Marketing Fit TV, Leesa is joined by her friend, Simone, as they talk about how eating 5-6 small meals per day is comparable to taking small steps with social media each day.
Don’t forget to listen to the [...]
Last week, I held a teleclass to give a sneak preview of my Social Media Marketing Blueprint. At its peak, all 250 lines were maxed out. Originally scheduled for 75 minutes, the call took 90 minutes to complete.
It became a trending topic on Twitter Search, just underneath Obama and a girl named Anita. Here’s the screenshot from November 12, 2008:

I promised my sister that I would go meat free for the month of November. I already gave my account of how week 1 went. Here’s week 2.
I still haven’t given up the eggs and frankly, I don’t think I will. Everytime I eat them, my sister reminds me that I’m eating an undeveloped chicken [...]

November 11th is called Remembrance Day in Canada. In the US, it’s known as Veteran’s Day. Whatever day it’s called in your country, do take some time to honor those who are braver than you and I to leave behind all they know to face the ugliness of war.
It’s a sacrifice.
I watch on TV as [...]
I just completed my first week as a vegan. After my sister gave me her summary of Skinny Bitch, I promised her that I wouldn’t eat any meat for the month of November.
The first week wasn’t as bad as I thought. I imagined that I would crave meat all week. That my mouth would salivate [...]
I was recently named as one of the Top 50 Most Powerful and Influential Women in Social Media and I believe I’m the only Canadian on the list, so this is a true honour.

I recently got an email from Kim Castle of BrandU and the subject was Can Misusing Online Video Ruin Your Brand?
Yes, it can. Here’s how:

On the 7th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, I watched a show that was based on eye witness stories. There was one account of a man who stopped to help another man who was sitting on the stairs.

These are the 4 things I use to determine whether or not I [...]
Over the past few days, I’ve noticed a curious tactic that some Twitter users are employing to generate leads from this microblogging tool.
Whenever someone follows me, I follow them back. And then on first contact, they send a direct message to me (DM) that says:
