How to Stimulate the Economy

Live Onsite Interviews: Save Time = Save Money = Stimulate Economy
Now, what will work is this (here's another idea for someone): Live on-site interviewing using ustream.tv, sent to client companies the recruiter sees as a fit. It will save time, energy and get past the worthless stages of the hiring process: "job post-wait- job reply wait- send resume -wait some more - phone interview - wait even more - set up a face to face - wait forever - 1st face to face.

People are "judged" on their physical reactions the questions, rarely do the words have anything to do with it...it's body language, eye contact, etc. Now, very experienced phone interviewers can pick up these traits by using highly trained "listeners".. from the creak in the chair to the hesitation in the answer to a question.

That's an interview "dialogue". There are solutions - now, today that helps everyone get paid quicker and the answer to stimulating the economy. The downturn will turn up by simplifying the interview/hiring process!!


This is especially true for any baby-boomer interested in easily entering the new media mecca. The web needs their perspective, wisdom and guidance when it comes to anything but marketing, personal branding, advertising.

Flashing: They Made Me Do It

A WebPress Feature Special: Confessions of the Queen Brandie

I have a confession. Social Median made me into a flasher. Others have always tried to get me to do it, but I never did. Now, they have my trust, they are the only platform who will ever get my flashes. Now, we will flash brands for our talent to the world, using a web-media platform introducing a cast of up & coming sports stars- who care about others....just 'cause we can.

Change Campaigns work because things change. Brands, on the other hand, live or die by the need from the media/community at that particular time. I am no Obama fan, but he has given the people what they want, access to him.

Admittedly, I never looked at Scobelizer's site until today. He was just a guy on Twitter that everyone wanted to follow and was always touted so much that I rebelled against even going to his site. I didn't even have the desire to find out what he was about, until he went with a product that wasn't mainstream...I like people like that. I can identify, so I checked him out. See, he has something I need for work. He has it figured out, the business behind the internet. My clients (talent representation) will benefit from how he has things set up on his site, his own TV channel, interviewing people and staying connected with his audience. However, it's just him. There's significant power in numbers. His numbers. These are the statistics I need to sell the big deals for my clients. Thank you, Scobelizer.

Web-stitution for Sales

The question sparked my interest while writing the Dead Brands Walking News Flash on Social Median.com - a new addiction that I will likely need professional help with in 2010.

Did your brand die in one of the "Follow-Me-Not" categories and no one in the Twittosphere loves you? Your first reaction may be to return to your corporate dominatrix strategy, imbedded into every plaque on the wall.

Don't Buy It:
Being locked to the laptop or digi-vice could have something to do with it. Meeting and being with live people has significant effects on intellectual development. People give and release energy, needed to strive and survive. The web-stitution for sales, may bring quick cash, but you'll wake up with a marketing nightmare, longterm.

The About Face - An Immediate Solution?
Sporting Events. You go and spend 3x normal price for food? Nod-Head Here. Bring friends, right? Nod Head Here. They are usually drinking, right? Uh-huh... Each one is a demographic, but combined? This triple-play lights the fire - and sparks fly to their friends and overheard in seats A-F.

If you're dead, who will revive you when last nights Tweets are long gone?

Getting Some - Exposure
Picture This: The gorgeous one - genuine, professionally casual greets you with a beautiful smile ready to give you the latest and greatest classy trinket to make your life easier or somehow more fun.

Misguided Brand Ambassador programs have shown significant results especially in travel & leisure, tourism and gaming industries - they're spending and making millions. But, will it ever be done without big boobs or a Fast Slap 500?

Pull Over!
Where are the new products or startup ventures being branded at these events? What could they spend to be delivered to millions of fans with disposable incomes? Would they dare risk the price of a marketing executive?

What web-brand would you like to see in the stands? My pick: Nutshell Mail....simply because the have Nathan the Nut. surrounded by some smart chicks, blogging all the way to the bank.
