If I was a… series of blogs
Well, we’ve been on vacation for the last 10 days here at Strongman Digital Media… During this time of overseas research, we’ve had time to reflect on the direction we’re taking with our advice blogs. We’ve come up with the ‘If I was a…” series of blogs. Here, we’ll be choosing an industry/occupation and constructing [...]
Secret Tip #1: Business through Social Media?
The golden question. What processes do I go through to ensure my online efforts are benefiting my business? If you’re considering online business, no doubt you would have (or plan to have) a website built. The website is your end-point, kind of like a cash register.

Aggregators: Managing your Social Collection

How bookmarking charges up your credibility
If you’re in the web game, and there is not many of you who aren’t (even if you’ve got a Facebook or Twitter account, you’re in the web game), one important factor in generating people who will listen and buy from you is credibility. Originally, credibility was established by word of mouth. These days however, [...]
Images, photos and pics: Why sharing is caring.
Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug… There’s a few “image hosting” sites out there, and they’re really good for their primary purpose: easily upload, and easily share your images throughout your digital travellings. As more and more sites recognise the need for component unification, it is where these image-sharing sites come unto their own. It has, however, sparked [...]
YouTube: A wealth of power.
When it comes to viewing or sharing videos, no site out there has the commanding presence of YouTube. With over 1 billion users, terabytes of data exchanging as far as the eye can see… It would take something phenomenal to knock YouTube.com off its perch. What started as a basement experiment, ended up being snapped [...]
