So I have been busy gathering up interview questions that I will be asking small business owners and artists alike. My mission is to find new and creative ways people are using social media technologies - and I hope to move away from the drab blogging conversations occurring elsewhere on the blogosphere.
My first victims are my favorites: NANDA!!!
Nanda getting their feet wet ... in social media technology!
Kiyota bravely answered over a dozen social media specific questions that might bore a lesser man. I hope to get that information up soon. I also had a great conversation with a friend of mine who works at the Montinore Winery. Additionally, there are several boutiques and artists around Portland that I admire and hope to cover, among them The Snarky Card Chick.
However, I am still working out the questions, my friends.
If you, dear reader, were interviewing a small business or artist - what would you like to know about their social media habits? What is important to you?
“ROI! What is the return on investment! Show me the money!!!”
Oh jeez, you must be a marketing professional! That is the antithesis of what I hope to discover!
“Fine then! I want to know how social media can help me write a better article for Fortune Magazine … I have been lifting from the book Groundswell for the past 8 months and have nowhere else to turn!”
Guys, I know - I have had the same reaction every time I open your magazine, and I am shocked every time I see your Ernst & Young and Best Buy case studies.
Check back any time and hopefully you can cover some young entrepreneurs at work!
