  • How to get more value out of conferences

    Untitled

    Yesterday, we talked about what makes a conference valuable. If you missed that article, please go check it out first, since today will build on that framework. Let’s talk about how to squeeze more value out of conferences at a personal level. Unsurprisingly, the same 4 things that make a conference valuable in general are 4 areas you need to pay attention to.

    Content

    One of the most important tips I can offer about content at a conference is to not take notes on what’s on screen. With few exceptions, the basic presentation materials are usually given to attendees in some form at events. What you should take notes on? Take notes on the thoughts that occur to you while you’re listening to the content. Take notes on the different ideas that pop into your mind, things you want to try, things you have questions about in your own programs.

    Conversation

    When it comes to conferences, you’re paying a lot of money to be with like-minded people and mentors. Chatting idly about the weather, sports, or politics is a poor use of your time and doesn’t advance you or your business. Make sure that you have a list of 2-3 burning questions that you absolutely are committed to getting answers to, answers that will advance you and solve your problems. Then ask everyone you think can help you with the answers about your burning questions.

    If you’re not confident that you can get the answers to your burning questions at an event, then it’s worth reconsidering whether you should attend the event.

    Community

    There are going to be people at every conference that you will want to meet for the purposes of advancing your business. Make sure you know who these people are and you commit to meeting 1 or 2 of them. Look at the registration pages or event hashtags on Twitter to see who’s going, then make a point of reaching out to them to ask if they’d be willing to meet up for coffee or lunch at the event.

    Make sure you’re also focused on the right people at the event. I was at an event recently where someone made the crass remark that they enjoyed marketing events because there were attractive members of the opposite gender with blonde hair present. I politely suggested that the people this person was looking to meet for the purposes of advancing business tended to have grey hair, and that they might want to alter their focus accordingly.

    Context

    Part of the special essence of events is the ability to get you out of your routine. To the greatest extent possible, then, use that specialness as much as possible. Set appropriate expectations in your out of office message that you won’t be checking email or taking calls during the event, and be bold enough to set your devices to airplane mode so that you can’t be distracted. Be at the event 100% when it’s justified.

    Conclusion

    Use these tips in each of the four areas of value that a conference brings so that you can get as much personal value out of an event possible. You’ll get your time and money’s worth, advance your business, and walk away having different, more valuable experiences at conferences.

  • The true value of conferences

    Dreamforce 2012

    It’s been a rough few years for conferences. With continuing economic strain, there’s been more pressure on companies to sponsor and on employees to attend, while inside companies, there’s been more pressure to reduce costs and cut out perceived frivolities. Amidst all of this, it’s worth asking what the value of conferences truly is in an age when you can Google for just about anything.

    So what is the value? There are four parts that make a conference valuable. Let’s see how replaceable these are.

    Content. All conferences except basic trade shows are built on content, and you could make the argument that seeing the Billy Mays/Vince Offer guy do his shtick at a basic trade show is content, too. Content is the justification we give our rational mind and our boss for attending an event, yet it’s often the weakest part of a conference. Just the other day, a colleague was telling me that at a local digital marketing event, an SEO “expert” was handing out 5 year old advice. Still, there’s value in the content, especially for people new to the industry.

    Conversation. Conversation is what more advanced professionals look for at events. A conference can put you in touch, face to face, with people who might have answers to your burning questions. If you can get face time, you can have the conversations you need to either move your business ahead or get your questions answered. Of the events I truly look forward to, I have a short list of people I want to talk to and a short list of burning questions that I need answers to.

    Community. Community is where conferences start to truly shine. Less socially-skilled people call this “networking”, but they’re usually the folks who are always looking over your shoulder while introducing themselves in case someone more important is behind you. For normal people, community is about meeting new people and building a few new friendships or professional relationships at meal tables, at the refreshments, and “in the hallways”. It’s where you get to connect and reconnect with colleagues and friends.

    Context. Context is probably the most overlooked, most important part of conferences. You won’t hear any conference planner or event organizer mention it explicitly, but I’d argue it’s the most important reason to go to a conference. When you attend an event – especially when you have to travel to get to it – you break your routine. You’re not in your office, you’re not eating the same food, sleeping in the same bed, attending the same meetings – none of your normal routine. This changes your context, which temporarily frees your mind to think in new and different ways. Ideas come more easily, especially when you’re hearing other people discussing other perspectives in content, conversation, and community. Even just the act of sitting in a bad session can inspire valuable new ideas (if only because your mind is actively arguing against the idiot at the podium). Most important, daily life and routine has a much harder time intruding and dragging your mind back into the mundane.

    Tomorrow, a look at how to make conferences even more valuable to you with 4 simple things you can do.

  • What Warcraft can teach you about better stories

    Crusader's Ascent

    I read with some sorrow about the political story of one candidate making accusations that their opponent should not be elected because they play World of Warcraft. What silliness – it’s clear to me that the accuser apparently has nothing else to run on. That said, here’s a major reason why I think someone who did play World of Warcraft might make a better representative – or employee, or colleague, or intern – than someone who watched television.

    Video games like World of Warcraft are the last bastion of great storytelling in mass media. When you look at what’s happening in other forms of media, it’s somewhat disheartening. Television has become polluted with reality shows that tell no stories at all. Radio lost its fireside quality decades ago. The movies have flat out given up on stories, as evidenced by the fact that every movie I watched as a kid is being remade instead of new stories being told. Even books at the mass level seem to be less and less about compelling, grand storytelling (fifty shades of what?).

    Think about what advice you always hear at conferences about making compelling social media and marketing. It’s the same phrase over and over again: tell great stories. The reality is, however, most marketers couldn’t tell the story of their company in a compelling way if their lives depended on it (and certainly, their livelihoods depend on it).

    In order to be able to tell great stories, you have to be exposed to great stories. You have to immerse yourself in dynamic, dramatic tales that stir your emotions, give you new ways to use words to express yourself, and create compelling descriptions that keep you reading along, hungering for more. World of Warcraft contains some of the best storytelling that I’ve been exposed to in recent times. Even more important, when you play a character in a video game, you’re creating a story of your own. From the day your character leaves Northshire Abbey or the Valley of Trials, you’re learning to tell your own story, set in the context of the Warcraft universe.

    Given a choice between two job candidates with equal skills, one who was a Warcraft player in the evenings, and one who watched television in the evenings, I’d choose to hire the Warcraft player every time. I’d rather have someone who can retell the rise and fall of the Lich King than what Honey Boo Boo did.

  • The simplest content value test

    Slackershot: Money

    I’ve talked about content value tests before, but there’s an even simpler, one-question test that will tell you whether your content – email, social media, web content, you name it – is valuable.

    Grab your most recent newsletter, your most recent Facebook Page post, your most recent blog post or podcast, and ask yourself this:

    If this came from another company that you didn’t work for, would you pay money for this content?

    If the answer is no, you don’t have valuable content. It’s that simple. Would you pay 99 cents for that blog post? Would you pay 25 cents for that email newsletter? If your content is valuable enough that you’d buy it if it came from a different source, then you’ve got something worth sharing. If you couldn’t persuade someone to fork over even a penny,

  • What you find at the end of the path

    11 years on the path

    Over the weekend, I had the privilege to attend the 15th and final New England Warrior Camp, a previously-annual event held by Ken Savage of the Winchendon Martial Arts Center and one of the finest martial arts training opportunities ever to be held. I’ve managed to attend 14 out of the 15 years and it’s always been of tremendous benefit to my personal growth.

    There were many lessons over the weekend, but one especially powerful and useful one I think is worth sharing immediately. Know and revisit your personal places of power as often as you can. For example, there’s a place up in the woods of Sudbury where I took my black belt test. It’s a powerful place to me, where so much energy burned away the parts of me I wanted to leave behind. Whenever you have doubts about yourself, about what you’re capable of, go back to your places of power, places of great accomplishment, and discard your self-doubt.

    Ken has this wonderful comparison of life as a wheel. Imagine taking a calendar and seeing it as a wheel; every full turn of the wheel is a year’s time. We forget often that even though the wheel turns and we see another month’s name appear, we’re a year further down the path than we were the last time we saw that month name appear.

    Now, 15 years later, we’re at the end of this particular path, and I found someone there waiting for me that I didn’t expect to meet: me, today. If you had asked me 15 years ago what my future would look like, I would have been completely wrong on virtually every count. If you had asked me whether I thought I would have earned my black belt, spoken in front of thousands of people and taught digital marketing to tens of thousands of people online, had a wonderful home with great family and friends, I would likely have thought you were more than a little crazy.

    I thank my teachers like Ken Savage and Mark Davis of the Boston Martial Arts Center for helping me explore, challenge, and develop not only my warrior spirit, but me as a human being. This path has come to an end, the path of New England Warrior Camp. Now it’s up to us to find the path for ourselves going forward and share it with those who want to travel it.

    Here’s the good news, if you think that the martial path might be for you: there are plenty of places to find it, especially in the New England area.

    Dayton Quest Center in Dayton, OH
    Boston Martial Arts in Boston, MA
    Winchendon Martial Arts in Winchendon, MA
    Shinobi Martial Arts in Plaistow, NH

  • The wrong way to repay social media influencers

    Signs of the recession - a psychic ATM?

    One of my favorite stories to tell about social behavior is from Malcolm Gladwell, who shares a tale of an Israeli daycare center. In the story, the daycare center was facing issues with parents picking up their children late. Using a perfectly rational strategy, they decided to impose a 10 shekel fee on parents who were late picking up their kids as a way to reduce delinquencies.

    What happened was unexpected: delinquencies actually went up significantly. Why? Because parents suddenly had a social obligation, a social contract, transformed into a transactional exchange of value. Their time now had a currency attached to it, and they were perfectly happy to accept the fee in exchange for more time.

    The daycare center realized their error and ended the fee. What happened next defied logic at first: the delinquencies remained high. They were unable to reverse the shift in their customers’ heads from a transactional relationship back to a social obligation, a social relationship.

    This is a vitally important lesson for everyone in social media when it comes to managing influencers. The moment you break out rewards that are financial or transactional in nature, you are breaking a social relationship and transforming it into a transacational exchange of value, and there’s no going back.

    If you want to reward influencers for sharing their social currency with you, repay it in social currency. Highlight people and grant them status and reputation in the eyes of your community. Deepen the personal relationship, give them inside access, behind the scenes looks, early notice, a better account manager, etc. – but repay social currency with social currency.

    Once you cross the line from social to transactional, there’s no going back. If you want to do transactional exchanges, set up an affiliate program that’s totally separate and distinct from your social media work so that people who want to do dollar for dollar exchanges of value can do so, but keep the social and transactional houses separate.

  • Social is the new SEO

    What’s the most powerful change to search marketing in the past 14 years? If you guessed social media, you’d be partly correct. The biggest change is that search is becoming all about who as much as what.

    What in the world am I talking about? Take a look at some of the great work done by the SEOMoz team on Google’s patented new AuthorRank algorithm, predicted to be deployed Very Soon ™. If you’re unfamiliar with AuthorRank, it’s fundamentally a kind of EdgeRank for search (as opposed to Facebook news feeds). The reputation and authority of the author matters for search results as much as the content being searched.

    Social is the new SEO 1
    Graphic by SEOMoz

    Take a look at the criteria making up AuthorRank: reputation in Google+, correct authorship models set up, authority factors on other social networks, citations and mentions in Google Books, Google Scholar, and YouTube, plus many other factors. These are all related to the person, not the content, and if an author with a strong reputation promotes content, that content gains some of the shine and luster of the author in search. (power tip: while we don’t know the specifics of the algorithm, you should be creating content based on the rough outline above)

    What does this mean for you? It’s a legitimate game-changer. It changes your content marketing to be a lot more than just cranking out stuff – with metrics like AuthorRank, who writes the content for you for search purposes is as important as what they write. It’s a huge shift for companies; forward-thinking companies will encourage employees to nurture and grow their own authority and authorship and then lend that to the company. Backwards-thinking companies will lose employees who understand that their digital rolodex is part of their value and career path – stifling that will stifle the employee’s career prospects for the future.

    Content marketing with things like guest blog posts will be a lot more competitive as forward-thinking marketers look for guest authors who are willing to share some of their AuthorRank with the places they write. This, by the way, must be set up bilaterally in order for Google to count it – the author must declare on their Google+ profile that they’re guest blogging as a contributor somewhere in addition to links in the content itself. Unscrupulous marketers will gain no benefit from digital name dropping without the authors reciprocating.

    Even hiring in marketing may change at the most cutting-edge, forward-thinking companies. Companies looking for specific marketing benefits like social authority and search engine marketing may need to adjust their strategies to hire people who have and are willing to share their personal authority with the company brand.

    Ultimately, AuthorRank will be incredibly empowering to every marketer who is creating content. Being recognized for your authority and authorship in the world of search marketing lends additional value to everything you do. If you’ve not gotten started on setting up authorship and the prerequisites for AuthorRank for yourself and your company, get started today.

  • Our conditions define us

    Snapshot 10:3:12 6:34 AM

    I was reading with interest last night about the mayor of Phoenix taking the SNAP challenge, in which he lived on the same budget as any family using SNAP (Supplementary Nutritional Assistance Program, or food stamps). The challenge is effectively to live on $4.16 per day of food. His comments on Day 4 of the challenge were what got me thinking:

    “OK- ran out the door today with no time to scramble eggs or even make a sandwich. So I’m surviving on an apple and handful of peanuts, and the coffee I took to the office until dinner. I’m tired, and it’s hard to focus. I can’t go buy a sandwich because that would be cheating- even the dollar menu at Taco Bell is cheating. You can’t use SNAP benefits at any restaurants, fast food or otherwise. I’m facing a long, hungry day and an even longer night getting dinner on the table, which requires making EVERYTHING from scratch on this budget. It’s only for a week, so I’ve got a decent attitude. If I were doing this with no end in sight, I probably wouldn’t be so pleasant.”

    Stanton experienced first-hand what psychologist Abraham Maslow described as the hierarchy of needs in 1943. When you’re in survival mode, you don’t have the mental bandwidth to do much more than keep on grinding until the next day.

    In many respects, poverty is a set of conditions. It’s absolutely a mindset, but that mindset is defined by the conditions around you, which is why people can’t just “not be poor” despite what some politicians in Washington might think. We live in an age where mental acuity is one of the defining factors of success. If you cannot get adequate nutrition, fitness, and sleep, your acuity suffers, and over the long term, your career and life suffer. More important, it becomes increasingly difficult for you to escape poverty the longer you’re in poor conditions.

    The easiest comparison is gardening. If you plant even the best quality seeds in arid sand, you’re not getting a garden, period. Conversely, if you plant a relatively average pack of seeds bought at the local big box store in good soil with the right amounts of sunlight and water, you’ll have a nice garden. Yes, some of the seeds will be duds, but the majority of them will do okay, and a few will really explode.

    If you’ve ever owned a dog, you know this to be true as well. The sweetest breed of dog will still lash out and hate humans when it’s abused. Conversely, dogs with a reputation as being vicious will be total softies in a home where all their basic needs are met and they’re loved by their owners. Ask any pit bull owner that owns a pit bull as a pet (and not as a guardian) how vicious their snoring lapdog is.

    To end poverty as a society, the conditions in which the poorest people live must change so that they can start to make advances in their lives. If we can change their conditions, we might just get those seeds of humanity to grow.

  • What Warcraft farms can teach you about social media

    The newest version of World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria, has been a phenomenally fun experience to play. There’s so much to do, so much to learn, so many different ways to play the game, but one aspect I wanted to highlight today is farming. Previously, this meant the laborious activity of gathering minerals or herbs around the world, but with the latest expansion, you get to operate an actual farm in the Valley of Four Winds.

    Screen Shot 2012-10-02 at 7.13.42 AM
    Nothing says delicious like organic farm-grown goods grown by a Death Knight

    In order to successfully manage your farm, you must cultivate your plots of land, plant appropriate crops, and occasionally grab your sword to kill giant garden pests. Each day, you’re given a certain number of daily tasks to do in order for your farm to thrive, and once it does, it generates plenty of farm goodness, from food to materials you need for your characters.

    What makes this different from other farm game implementations is that it’s on a daily rotation. Unlike other farming games such as Farmville, Warcraft’s internal timer forces everything to a once-a-day routine. You can’t buy anything to make your farm go faster. (yet, anyway)

    In many ways, this digital farm exemplifies how you should handle your tactical social media planning. Think about what your daily “farming” quests might look like if you operated social media like a Warcraft farm. Here is a sample of what my daily list looks like:

    ! Endorse 5 people on LinkedIn
    ! Unfollow 10 bots I accidentally followed
    ! Write 1 blog post
    ! Reply to people who messaged me
    ! Read blogs and pick 5 items to share
    ! Post #the5
    ! Wish happy birthday to people on Facebook
    ! Block and ban blog spam

    Note that like your Warcraft farm, there’s not much you can do to accelerate the process. What makes both your Warcraft farm and your social media work blossom and bear fruit is consistency, executed daily. Make a list of the things you need to do daily and share it with your team, and start growing your social media as surely as giant turnips in World of Warcraft.
