Well, this is my 500th post since starting SCDdaily blog two years ago.
In my initial post, I outlined five core areas:
- trend watching: associations, marketing, social media, cause marketing
- consulting: digital media, governance, marketing, communications audits
- speaking: bridging the generations, marketing in the digital age
- blogging: association & nonprofit trends; cause marketing
- tweeting: @stevedrake (associations, agriculture, nonprofits) and @causeaholic (cause marketing)
So, how are we doing?
- SCDdaily readership has ranged from a few hundred to thousands.
- Most of my posts come from my trend watching and avid readership of newspapers, journals and pieces noted by Twitter colleagues.
- I’ve continued to consult on branding, generations and conference management.
- I remain active on Twitter as @stevedrake but fewer posts as @causeaholic.
If the post has “board” in the headline, readers flock to it.
