Blogging sauteed with glamor-gravy
Subtitle: Perks from blogging. This is a question you should always be asking when starting something: The Why? The more honest you are with yourself, the better. After you have answered that, you should then look for “perks” – those side benefits, that make your purpose extra juicy. With blogging, there are many. One perk I enjoy is being featured in magazines,... Read More
Your Blog is your home
Subtitle: Home is where the heart is. I’ve always said that your blog should be your focal point on the web. You can think of other portals as the bars, clubs and other social scenes of social media. But, you can’t hang out all the time. Eventually you have to go home. And that’s your blog. With a blog you can do things that you can’t do on social... Read More
Hispanicize 2011
Subtitle: It’s a numbers game. My buddy Manny Ruiz, has publicly released his advisory board for the Hispanicize Conference next year (April, 2011). It’s exciting to watch the development of all the players focusing on building bridges toward the Latino community. I remember when I first started blogging, back in 2003 there were hardly no Latino bloggers –... Read More
Upgrade Woes
Subtitle: Why did I upgrade? I’ve always disliked upgrading. There is the inherent potential of something breaking. My motto: if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Sure enough, I’ve been looking at an upgrade prompt for the past several weeks on my Word Press panel, and took the plunge. I backed up the site and the database, if something went terribly awry....

7 Virutes of Hispanic Market
Subtitle: Seven is my favorite number Today I visited Strategic Sense’s blog and was very impressed by the post: 7 Reasons to target the Hispanic Market, posted by @GusRazzetti. Here are the 7 reasons: Hispanics represent a huge segment (don’t get caught by the word minority) Latinos presence keeps growing Hispanics do have money to spend Latinos have a bigger impact...

Make you Blog Posts in Advance
Subtitle: Stay ahead of the curve. Today was a testament of why you should have a post ready for the next day (or next two days). I left the house yesterday after 6 pm and did not return till after 11pm. A rough night of sleep contributed to waking up late and practically running out the house at 7:30 am. It is now 8:15 pm, and I just now had a chance to sit in front of the... Read More
Humanizing the Web
Subtitle: What’s in a screen name? I remember my first live event: meeting live people…talking with live people…exchanging handshakes instead of emails or comments. It was a thrill! When introduced with my real name, I was greeted with a confused look. On that cue, my screen name was then offered: the Latino Pundit. It was then greeted with familiarity. Ever... Read More

Consistency and Traffic
Subtitle: Blog more for more traffic. Since I’ve been blogging more recently, I’ve seen a spike in traffic. There’s nothing special I’ve been doing outside of what I normally do when blogging. It’s just the consistency of pushing out relevant content that really matters. AKPC_IDS += "2140,";Popularity: 9% [?] Read More
Measurments are made Messy by Social Media
Subtitle: Quantitative and Discussion Messes Numbers account for everything. If you state you have a huge following, then let’s see the numbers. If you have a successful blog, then what is your page view count? Without quantitative means of verification, your words are empty claims. This is the very reason I’m not too fond of sites like Twitter and others that... Read More
How to Stop Twitter from updating Facebook
I’m pretty active in social media. The main platform I use is Twitter. My challenge was staying relevant across each medium spectrum that I wanted to remain relevant. So, when the ability to seamlessly integrate Twitter and Facebook (as well as LinkedIn), I jumped at the opportunity. Problem was, Facebookers are a different ‘monster’ than the Twitter crowd. “You... Read More
