Are you a Community Organizer?

Community Organizer. It's a phrase that, during this United States presidential election, has gotten a lot of use. It implies not just an 'organizer' per se, but a leader. Someone who is not just the caretaker of a movement, but the inspiration for one.

Are you a Community Organizer in your business? Are you a leader in your industry, working in a bubble, or are you making your field a better place to work, giving all of your customers and clients industry-wide more value, no matter who they hire?

As a true Community Organizer in your field, you'll maintain the integrity of your industry's quality, pricing, education, and value. You'll build up the younger generation working alongside you, as well as respect the experience of those seasoned professionals you can learn so much from.

We launched our new Perfect Audio Solutions from Serious Vanity Music and Serious Vanity Records websites within the last week. Some are already featured, but more resources will soon be enhancing both sites to help businesses and creative professionals educate, inspire, and entertain in the new Web 2.0 world, as well as to help them live the lives of their dreams.

Both will soon be linked with the Serious Vanity Music Network, a hub for connecting professionals, artists, fans, and consumers in an open, mutually supportive environment. In essence, not just a network, but a Community.

How can you, as a leader, be a Community Organizer, too?

Happy Holidays!

As we're preparing our holiday podcast (and trying to avoid cabin fever), we wanted to take a minute to say "Thanks!" to our readers, listeners, and outlets who've helped this become a fun part of our business routine. You rock!

What elements of your business have you customized for the season? Does your voicemail message have a special greeting? What about your email signature?

Sometimes the smallest or easiest change in your branding can be the most effective in communicating a warm message to your clients, colleagues, and contractors.

Now get some cider, and get to work 'decking out' your brand!

Which social network is right for you?

Our next podcast will not only feature tips on why you should develop a USP, but also on how to find the right social network for you and your business. Can you effectively network on MySpace? What else is out there? We'll show you some alternatives as well as discuss how to make the most of the popular services.
