Dear Readers, Listeners, and newcomers:

I’ve crafted a short audio series to help you through the special new door of modern media. Isn’t it time you got past the naysayers and learned for yourself what people are doing with these tools? Join us – after Parts 1,2, and 3 (which take about 12 minutes total), I also give you another brief look into the remarkable people I have engaged through microblogging, and how we are shaping the future together.

Get yourself a glass of water, put on your headphones, and let’s go.

(You’ll go to my Posterous site which holds the audio – don’t worry!)

Modern Media 1

Modern Media 2

Modern Media 3

The article I refer to as “my microblogging world” turned into a special post with collages as tributes to nine notable communicators. You can see it at Great Adaptations, here: 9 Notable Innovators.

Thank you for joining us! See you soon,

Suzanna

Welcome to these two short audio lessons on creating your web presence. I recorded these in response to several requests from my class participants who feel overwhelmed by too many options. Of course, there are hundreds of ways to have a web presence. What I describe in these audio lessons are five steps to take which will give you a solid web identity and help you focus your activities.

Here they are:

Web Presence in a 7-minute class, Phase 1

Web Presence in a 7-minute class, Phase 2

Happy learning,

From Suzanna’s Journal (“Open Here,” March 03, later published as “Little Shifts”)

Huge releases make you wise. It is not the taking in of data, but the moment of complete dispersal. That is arriving. Giving up the flow, the accumulation of learning. Giving it away is when it happens.

Intro Audio Lesson 1

This recording brings you the first segment (1-A) of  Audio lesson 1 for “The Writer in the Blog.” When you click on this link it will take you to my Posterous site where the audios are currently being held. In the future, I”ll have them embedded on my site so you won’t have to click away in order to hear it. Keep in mind, I am making these lessons very short – usually 3 minutes or less – so that they are easier to manage and more digestible. Here are links to the three parts of Lesson 1 (each about 3 minutes):

Audio Lesson 1-B on Posterous

Audio Lesson 1-C on Posterous

Thank you for being here on Spoken For You. Please let me know what else you’d like to learn. I teach people how to write practical online content, how to be effective on Twitter, and how to use simple blogs. Your questions are warmly encouraged – that’s how I decide what to do next! Please come back for more lessons from “The Writer in the Blog!”

This is a site for the audio I create for my readers and listeners.

The first category you will find here relates to my online course, “The Writer in the Blog.” In the audio for this course, I walk you through each of the seven steps to writing great content for your blog.

These audio lessons are perfect for beginners, anyone who wants to be a better blog writer, and new users who are confused or frustrated by most of the online teaching tools available.

My posts and audio are always “brain-friendly!” That means you can count on me to avoid overwhelm in all my teaching materials.

I’m glad you’re here!

Check the category called “Creating Content” — that’s where I add new audio lessons.

Feel free to comment on any of the audio lessons. I love to hear how it’s going! Did you like the lesson? Were there any problems? What else would you like to learn about? Just let me know, in the comments anywhere on this site.
