Looks like the deadline to submit to speak is this Friday for the New Media Expo. I’ve procrastinated long enough. So, now I turn to you to get your input.
What do you think I should propose to speak about at the 2008 New Media Expo?
In 2006 I spoke about Promoting Your Podcast. In 2007 I spoke about using social media to build buzz and develop your brand.
A couple ideas I’ve had include:
- Free Podcast + Premium Content = A Formula for Making Money with Social Media
- Building Community: How to Connect with Your Audience to Increase Your Brand’s Value
- The Magic Triad: 3 Key Ingredients for Creating Effective Content and a Loyal Audience
- Content Machine: A Streamlined Process for Prolific Content Creation without Spending Hours of Your Time or Losing Your Mind
- How to Become a Successful Full-Time New Media Consultant
Which of these do you like best? Do you have any other ideas for me to submit?

They’re all great ideas but the first one you list seems to be the one that needs the most attention.
When new media personalities say “premium content”, some people tend to cringe. There has to be a proper balance of free content and monetizing your efforts.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on that one. Whatever you talk about I’m sure it will be compelling.

Hola Jason -

I like #2 and #3, both having to do with building community. I think this is SO important and an often overlooked part of the process. Great content + loyal community = goodness for everyone!

I still say #3 or #4.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It’s definitely helpful.
@Mark,
If I talk about premium content, I’d love to interview you as a case study. I mentioned your podcast the other day as an example when I spoke at the Social Media Telesummit.

BTW, I’ve received some off-site feedback on this as well and #3 is definitely in the lead right now.

Hi Jason:
Great ideas. #4 is my pick, but I would add some related promotion tips as well since that is so important.
All the best!

Thanks everyone for the input. I submitted topic #3 for consideration to be presented at the New Media Expo. This year I am doing very little speaking, but this is the one event I still want to present at because I enjoy the it so much.
Here is what I submitted.
