JSB’s Featured Column
Keeping ahead in the digital age: a strategic learning plan for social media mangers, digital marketers, bloggers and business owners
Do you feel like you are running on the social media treadmill? Are you completely daunted by the vicious speed of change on the social web? Do you feel lost or left behind in terms of your knowledge or skills?
Well, guess what? You are not alone. Each and every day I get interaction online from my community across the world who are liking, sharing, commenting, retweeting and reposting my digital content. They are learning from me and passing that knowledge on via their social networks.
So I got thinking. How can I help busy, frustrated, overwhelmed social media managers, digital marketers, bloggers, business owners and professionals to learn with legacy?
What I mean by that phrase – learn with legacy is: what can I teach individuals that will have an immediate and everlasting effect on their business, on their client projects, and on their own professional development?
So I began to scope out a strategic digital learning framework. The concept involves teaching people online but using live video and webinar software, educating using a variety of content types, providing workbooks and checklists and filling gaps in their knowledge right now.
I will continue to work on this project and I hope to launch it later this year. So stay tuned to JSB’s social networks and this podcast for more details.
A stepping stone to making the JSB Strategic Learning Framework a reality is the launch of my new Digital Bites schedule.

The social media tool that saved my working week is…
So the tool that saved my working week this week is Klout.
Klout is a website and mobile app that uses social media analytics to rank its users according to online social influence via the “Klout Score”, which is a numerical value between 1 and 100.
So what does your Klout score really mean and does it matter?
The reason I used this tool this week as I was trying to communicate to a prospective client how influential I am online. If they don’t convert on client testimonials, previous work case studies or your education, then I suggest dropping in your Klout score!
Klout’s algorithm aggregates data from your main social networks and scores your influence. I’ve reviewed my Klout score after recording this podcast and it’s gone up to 66 so I’m in the top 5% of Klout influencers!
I love feedback
