Liz is a blogger, writer, social media expert, communicator and networker. She is the author of the very popular blog, Successful Blog which is famous for open mike night on Tuesday evenings. Anyone can participate, there is only one rule:

BE NICE!

Her e-book, The Secret to Writing a Successful and Outstanding blog is now available. Check it out and then come chat with us live during the show.

Come join me while I ask Liz why being Nice is so important to her, her addiction to Klondike Bars, and why we should come visit Chicago in May. (for SobCon!)

What does Liz do? In her words, Liz says:

I help businesses, universities, and service professionals . . .

increase ROI and attract fiercely loyal fans . . .

by communicating with customers as people.

I am a writer who uses the language to paint and to play word music, places my heart and head in the spaces, and writes in the hope that one person is better for having read what I wrote.

Terry Starbucker, is a Co-Founder, (with Liz Strauss) of SobCon and author of the popular blog Ramblings of a Glass Half Full. If you are on twitter, @TerryStarbucker you'll know if his incredible music knowledge and gift for spouting lyrics about twitterville and blogging. I'm looking forward to asking Terry if he's got a photographic memory for music or if he keeps an Encyclopedia of Song Lyrics at his fingertips. I also want to know why he blogs - what does he really get from it, (money? prestige? fun?) and if he plans on keeping up his optimistic outlook in this sucky economy. Send me your questions for Terry before the show to me, your show producer . Listen live, come into our chat room, and mark the show as a favorite!
