Social Media in Chicago, Northwest Indiana, Indianapolis, & Southwest Florida – the Travel is Fun.

I really enjoy the time I spend in Social Media. Not only because it means I have an excuse to be in Chicago, Indianapolis, & Southwest Florida in addition to my home in Valparaiso, IN but without Social Media, my days spent alone on projects & writing a book of blues would become unbearable.

For me, Social Media is nearly inseparable from SEO but they still have their identities much like how Wrigleyville is in Chicago but retains their identity. With both of them it comes down to sweat equity. Those who just vomit out their messages without proactively reading others are not going to find an ROI.

Social Media Projects in Northwest Indiana & Indianapolis

Northwest Indiana

When I’m not working on them books of blues I am serving as co-director for #NWITweetup – Northwest Indiana Tweetups – as well as co-director for the new project #NWiSM- Northwest Indiana Social Media – where area businesses are sharing their business experiences and compiling an education resource for other businesses.

Indianapolis

In the past I’ve served as a volunteer director for Blog Indiana – Indiana’s largest internet marketing convention – and with a little luck I’ll be able to do it again this summer. Liveblogging for nationally recognized speakers such as Jason Falls & Jay Bear is a trip. I hope it comes around again!
