This week, I decided to launch a new site, www.IowaBizEvents.com. I worked on it a little bit yesterday afternoon:
- Published a feed
- Mapped the domain
- Populated two initial posts
Then we went live, "live blogging" a fantastic presentation by Jeff Bradford in front of a Des Moines YPC group. Today, we made a few more tweaks:
- Added a Category Cloud (Typepad offers that right up front now? Cool!)
- Added a Typelist for area Business Calendars
- Sent a few emails out to event planners
Total cost? $29.
Total time to launch: a few hours.
Value of the Relationships? Priceless!
I already have Typepad Pro (normally $15 per month), so it’s part of the ConverStations umbrella of sites. I already have FeedBurner Total Stats (normally $5 per month), so it’s part of that umbrella. The domain name was $9 at GoDaddy. $29 in a few hours. Sweet!
What’s that sound? I Hear a Train a comin’

Find Your Social Media ROI
I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.
