Last week I had the distinct pleasure of presenting on RSS advertising and blogs at the Shareware Industry Conference in Denver. Apparently, the conference was significant (or did good PR) enough to get a mention in the Denver post, who pegs the conference as a "lessons in marketing for introverts" session. Come to think of it, maybe that's why they didn't laugh at any of my jokes?

   Here's a link to the presentation on RSS and blogs that I gave at the conference.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sharon of Feedforall and Marc of VanDyke Software.

I'm a loyal reader of Gas Pedal's "Damn, I wish I'd thought of that" newsletter. Coincidentally, this week's version had some points about speaking, promoting and meeting people that are particularly important, like the following.

Speakers: How to turn the audience into customers

If you don't have a handout, you've wasted your time. You spent all this time and money to speak, then you give people no way to buy from you. Always print a 1-page flyer, staple it to a printout of your slides, and put it on every single chair before you start. It's a guaranteed way to get new business.

Speakers: How to look like an asshole

  • Read a speech that someone else wrote for you.
  • Read a speech you've never rehearsed.
  • Read a slide that pitches your company.
