On Thursday morning at the Opening Keynote at Blogworld Expo Scott Stratten, better known as @unmarketing, took the stage and really set the tone for the rest of the weekend.

Sure he was pushing his new book (UNMarketing – Stop Marketing. Start Engaging), but so what? May he do so again and again in every town he visits!

His ideas have fire running through them, and he’s not afraid to share. In fact, that’s what he’s best at. Below are easy to digest ideas he went over in his keynote that I felt were simply superb. Good enough to share with you, dear reader. Especially if Social Media is new to you or excites you.

I’m sure if you want an entire video or transcript it’s available somewhere. Hell, go buy his damn book. It’s worth every penny.

*Stand up for what you believe in when you blog.

*People don’t share blogs. They spread awesome.

*You have to blog when? When you have something to say. Not on a schedule.

*If you can blog awesome daily: then blog daily.

*People need to stop what they’re doing to read it. Why? Because it’s awesome.

*When you don’t blog awesome, you hurt your blog.

*Passion spreads.

*The reason people spread things hasn’t changed. How they spread it has changed.

*Stop being fancy pants: it’s simple. Social media is talking. Forget about what the “next” big thing is: focus on what to do now.

*It doesn’t matter what you like. It matters what your audience likes.

*Its not my job to tell my audience how to consume my product, I just want them to consume it.

*If your blog is not mobile phone readable… you are losing readers. You are killing your content.

*Keywords?: Write awesome so people spread it. If you write great content and you tweak it for SEO, then good. If your blog is written around keywords you are killing your blog.

*Captcha: Are we under attack from robots? Prove your audience is human? You are losing 90% of your audience. Do you really want that?

*If your content sucks, social media makes it suck harder.

*Youtube doesn’t make something famous: the video does.

*If Relationships = Business…People do business with people they know, like, trust. (This hasn’t changed in CENTURIES! ed.)

*Social media doesn’t change the fact that RELATIONSHIPS TAKE TIME.

[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/assuranceagency/status/27355892862#"]

*Technology doesn’t mean throwing common courtesy out the window. If you are talking to someone put your phone away, jackass.

*It doesn’t matter if you believe in social media. Its not a religion. Its conversations.

*Trolls: The people that hate you. They fear your success. Let them hate you. You don’t have to waste your time with them.

If you reply to a troll- they win. #bwe10 Don’t give your time to them. Give your time to all the wonderful people in the world you should.

Design and print made simple for small business owners

Most business owners want to get good printing at the lowest price, as they should! But they usually lack the time they need to design the job, find a good print shop with competitive prices, and then run it over before the shop closes.
