In January I announced a monthly series of the 30 best of #30bestof. This is the second overview in this series. After the ladies beginning March it is now the gentlemen’s turn. An overview of the 30 best male bloggers on marketing, social media and entrepreneurship.
Here they are, in alphabetical order, the best male bloggers. Psst it is not 30 but 36.
New inspiration on how experts attract clients and find new business in their niche. This interview with Deirdre Breakenridge is about public relations and social media and how she gets new clients.
Deirdre has worked over 20 years in the communications industry. At one time she had an agency with about 40 people. Now she is the founder and CEO of Pure Performance Communications with only a few people who all work from their homes. A good way to combine entrepreneurship and family.

In January I announced a monthly series of the 30 best of #30bestof. This will be the first overview in this series. Ladies first, so I will start an overview of the 30 best female bloggers on marketing, social media and entrepreneurship.
It took me a while to collect a list of great female and male bloggers. Both lists have now more than 30 bloggers so I can choose the best ones. The 30 best Male bloggers will be published in March. First, in alphabetical order, the best female bloggers.
My idea is to give you new content ideas, inspiration for your bog. Add the ones you like the most to your feedreader or subscribe to the newsletters and get inspiration delivered to you.
Jumping into social networks and doing it right is a bit of work. When you already are working very hard at the core of your business this is just an extra thing you can do without. Outsource it!
Good idea.
When you hire another company to set up your (business) profiles in LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube you have to be sure they are doing it right.
Lately I receive more and more invites in LinkedIn of people who clearly outsourced the social media ‘task’. All profiles are similar and are not very personal.

Fons Trompenaars was the opening keynote at The Social Conference (#TSC12). He used the research of the attendees to talk about the dilemmas we are facing with social business.
His presentation was filled with remarks that got the audience laughing and thinking:
Lot’s of female in the audience. He is not used to it because in boardrooms there are not a lot of female in the board room. “We kick them out, when it gets tough they cry, or they get pregnant.”
“Asocial conference, we spend more time typing into our phone then talking to each other. Let’s make this a more social conference and talk with each other.”

The Social Conference is a yearly event in Amsterdam. This year it was re-branded to The Social Conference. It is a cooperation between Emerce and Krem.
I will be blogging live from this event, trying to make some photos and videos from the speakers at the main stage.
The presentations I want to attend are:
Fons (@thtconsulting) is well-known about his research on cultures. He was one of the authors I loved while I was doing my MBA. I am really interested in cultures and his research is very interesting on this.
At this conference Fons will talk about The management dilemma’s of the social web
“…he will address the culture-free challenges that all cultures face when implementing social media-centric approaches. Adoption and deployment of social media and the associated rules of interaction usually create tension in the ways companies are working.”
About once a month I receive a book (for free) via the Social Media Club to do a review for the Social Media Book Club. For February it is Christopher Barger’s The Social Media Strategist – Build a Successful Program from the Inside Out.
You can find Christopher Barger on his blog Socially Speaking on Twitter @cbarger and LinkedIn.
This book really is for people who work in communications or marketing in a large organisation and that want to improve the organisation’s social media presence. Or if you are a PR firm that works for these organisations and still don’t get it.
