Commercials vs. Branding

By DMK, A SlantedK Production

A task of a blogger is to surf, read and read. Yes, that was simplified. One of the writer groups I follow had an interesting conversation this week.

The bulk of the issue was the use of social networking vs. radio & promotional companies. The opinions were showing me that many individuals are not grasping some simple details of Social Media.

Then and Now - Competing w/CGI

Be True to Yourself.

By DMK A SlantedK Production

This weekend I watched Smokey & the Bandit 1&2. Did you know there are zero CGI effects in either of those movies?  

When they did the jump with that Black Trans Am it actually flew. When Sheriff Buford T Justice chased the Bandit through the roller coaster, they destroyed the actual ride.

Then and Now - Are We at a Disadvantage?

In our strength in advanced technology, have we actually become complacent?

BY DMK & SlantedK

"Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them."

Alfred North Whitehead

Recent weather events have exposed such; dependency on technology left many scared and lost. 

It seems inconceivable that this country, founded, fought for, expanded, and survived without any assistance of current technology.

If Nothing Is Your Goal.

By DMK, A SlantedK Production

Got Twitter? Got SlantedK?

Serious and Stupid all wrapped in one great package.

I have done an extensive study in the last few weeks concerning social media. (The application will apply to many if not all categories ie: Homework, marketing, laundry, parenting, jobs…)

My test was to see what would happen if I did nothing.

Obstacles and Fear

Overcoming Obstacles and Fear 

So That You CAN Write Your Book©

By Rita Emmett, Guest Author @ SlantedK

Have you wanted to write a book forever but just cannot get started? Is it possible that fear is holding you back? (Fear of failure? Fear of success? Sounds crazy but you actually might experience BOTH those fears at the same time). 

Is Your Web Site Keeping Up?

Social Media, Facebook, Twitter,

Pintrest, LinkedIn... 

Is your site helping you manage all your tasks?

By DMK, A SlantedK Production

Can your visitors see all that you have going on in one place?

I have been tossing notes out on Twitter about this topic. 

I am a New Author, 

I am a New Blogger, 

I read all the tips and instructions. 

We all strive to employ all the tips out there to market our brand. 

Now I find myself limited by my site. I am looking into a site that will do these things.
