Allow Me to Share the Education I Pay Lots of Money For: Week 2





Finding Your Online Voice 









I'm an Advertising major/Marketing minor at the University of Central Oklahoma. I'm going to share some relevant knowledge that I receive when I  pay $$ large amounts of money $$, 
for your own personal gain. 

This is a new series I’m going to be doing. I’m taking a class on digital and content marketing. We are required to write a post a week, so I’m going to try to make it relevant to my blog. 
What I hope is to receive feedback. 
I want to hear from you if you think that I strayed off topic or made a valid but somewhat stupid point. I would also love to hear if you found any of this helpful, or irrelevant.


We are reading “The New Rules of Marketing and PR” by David Meerman Scott. You can find this book on Amazon, HERE, or you can go and check out his blog, HERE.
The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasting, Viral Marketing and Online Media to Reach Buyers Directly


This book is helpful because it covers a variety of different points on marketing an PR that are not just for large corporations.




What I want to cover this week is the importance of your "online voice". Three things to remember:
1) Stay true to yourself! Seriously, if you don't talk or type the way you do in real life, eventually your true voice will prevail! :) 


2) This tip is from "Mom Blogging for Dummies" but I think it's relevant: Blog/write/share anything that is dear to you. You should enjoy whatever you speak about, so find something you love to do and write about it! 


3) Don't get caught up in stats! This book is sure to tell you about the importance of measuring your success blogging or using social media, but even the book will tell you that they are not the be all end all. There are many different stat tools out there, so don't get overwhelmed. Find a measurement style that works for YOUR goals, not everyone else's goals. And if you follow tip 2, then the readers/followers will come to you. 




That's all I got! I hope everyone had a good weekend! 
Sincerely,
Kylee

Awards! --The Liebster Blog Award

My blog was nominated for a blog of note for the "Liebster Award"

I'm so blessed with these past couple months of blogging. It's also nice to be noticed. :)

I would like to thank @Samantha12Jane for passing this award my way. She's sent some great people my way from the land of wordpress, thanks for that Sam! Her blog is so interesting. She's an excellent writer, I recommend checking it out.
http://samantha12jane.wordpress.com or follow her on Twitter @Samantha12Jane
This is the post that she nominated me for the Liebster: http://samantha12jane.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/and-the-award-goes-to-liebster-award/


Rules of accepting the Liebster award are as follows:
1. Accept the award and thank the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Pass it to 3-5 blogs with less than 200 followers and tell them that they’ve received it.
3. Link back to the person who gave it to you.



Now, here are the blogs I would like to pass this along to: 
The Pursuit of Us: http://thepursuitofus.blogspot.com
This is a blog about a young woman about to get married. She's very creative, so this is truly an awesome blog. She's just starting this blog up, but expect great ideas from this woman! Go join here with her journey towards the alter.

Diary of a Reporter: http://ashley-diaryofareporter.blogspot.com/
This blog is my newest obsession. :-P She's got great pictures. Her blog look and feels great. She's absolutely so sincere--and she probably has no idea that I love her blog so much. Well, what better of a way than to share it with a Liebster award!

Life is Hard, Laugh Anyway: http://lifeishardlaughanyway.blogspot.com/
So I'm pretty sure this blog knows that I'm a frequent reader, aka stalker. She's just so funny and so creative. She's got a fresh idea every day. Go join the fun!


Thanks again @Samantha12Jane!!

Advice for my future daughter.

I always say, "oh my gosh, I will tell my daughter to NEVER be like that." So, in order to remember it, I'm going to put it on my blog.

3 pieces of advice today:

1) Dear beautiful future daughter,
A smile is ALWAYS sexier than a puckering, blowing a kiss, or licking your lips in front of a camera.
Love,
Mom
NOT CUTE!
Significantly less stupid looking

2) Dear sweet future daughter, 
I won't make you join any groups or school activities that you don't want to join. But, know this: FFA is cool. And if I ever catch you making fun of an FFA member, I will uphold my duty and beat you. 
Love, 
Mom
The jacket is the best part. 
This is serious stuff. If I could still show pigs, I would. 







3) Dear adventurous future daughter,
I don't know what version of YouTube you will have when you're a silly teen, but don't make horrible videos. Don't ever take pictures or videos with your clothes off. You are a lady, and if a man says he won't love you unless you send him said video/picture--YOU RUN, RUN, RUN, AWAY FROM THAT MAN.

Instead, make videos like this one. They're waaay funnier.
Love,
Mom

The Shine Project Giveaway!

Sweet Little Photo Swap- "Old Photography Class Photos"

Long ago-- well, not that long ago-- I was in a basic photography class. I decided that I would be soo cool and creative with my pictures. I understand they weren't that great, but hey, it was BASIC photography... and I had a ton of fun.

Here are some of the more interesting ones:
I miss my long(er) hair. 

I think my feet are by far the ugliest ones on the planet. You know what though, they're the only ones I get. :) 

Interesting perspective. 

Okay, so I know it's a little emo, but this was supposed to represent the comments I was getting about being too young to be married. ;)
