Blogging Again..."The more I have to write about the less time I have to write."

 

This is me with Kickboxing Champion Lisa King. (Yes! I should be blogging about this.)

"The more I have to write about the less time I have to write." - David Kamatoy, juggler aka blogger

In the age of social media blogging continues to be extremely important. A blog should be the central HUB for all content you create because you own it. In then should be shared via social media leading the public back to your site / brand. 

CONTENT IS KING AGAIN

Content will always be king and in the age of social media it becomes even more and more important. Often we are so busy creating projects and media that we do not optimize them for the web via blogging, press releases, articles, pictures, etc. In many ways that's our continuing goal as a media company. To adequately optimize our media. 

For example the business that goes to the trouble of spending $5000 on a trade show booth but spends no money telling people outside and inside the trade show that they will be at the trade show via press releases, video, pictures, blogging and social media. Just like spending the additional money to staff the booth so should the company optimize it's investment buy budgeting for MEDIA & PR.

A VIRAL HIT + BODY OF WORK = OVERNIGHT SUCCESS (That took 10+ years to build.)

Everytime someone finds something that we or our cliets have done, we want them to see and easily find something else that we have done. This creates multiple impressions, branding, credibility, an increase in database and ideally an increase in revenue.

For example if you have only one video on YOUTUBE and someone sees that video and even loves it. What's the next video that come up on youtube? A: NOT YOURS. Epsecially if that is your only video.

 Verily I say unto thee, the more media the merrier...

"In the age of social media, you can't ignore PR because by definition social media is PR. Take control of it and master it, your doing it anyway, just be mindful of it and improve."

-David Kamatoy juggler aka Host of 'Blog This with David Kamatoy'

This week alone we are producing 11 hours of national & regional radio, 6-10 hours of broadcast television. Additional Videos for the web. Continuing production on 3 musical songs and participating in a international UN Peace concert.(Ooh and I am submitting as a juggler for a national tv commercial =).)

• Visit BigBizShow.com this week for new shows
• Visit RobertCardozaLive.com for politics,money and you
• Visit and subscribe to youtube.com/thejuggler for the new videos. 

HA! So yes there is a LOT TO BLOG ABOUT. We already producing the media. So now it's time to OPTIMIZE our efforts. 

BUYER BEWARE: There are firms out there taking advantage of people and businesses that NEED SOCIAL MEDIA and then charging hundreds of dollars or more a month. However, if you don't have anything to promote via social media (i.e. blogging) then there is really nothing to build your social media around.

SHAMELESS CTA: We would love to help with creating something to blog about. Give us a call at 619-573-9456 or email us via the contact page, http://KamatoyMediaGroup.com

Anyway! My immediate goal is to start to babble again, that's what this is about. 

BLOG THIS BABY!,

Craig G. Francis Talks SBA on The Big Biz Show

Craig G. Francis joined us on The Big Biz Show further proving his unique expertise on SBA Loan.  I think one the most immpressive things about Craig is that he ccan talk about getting deals funded in the real world. If you deal only with the BANK you pretty much have only one side and one example of the deal.

San Diego, CA - (Press Release) SBA loan expert Craig G. Francis appears on The Big Biz Show with Bob “Sully” Sullivan to discuss the SBA, loans and the economy. Francis, who has over thirty year of experience in the loan industry, has brokered over 2500 business loans for over $1 billion in funding. He will be joining The Big Biz Show on a regular basis to share his knowledge and understanding of how the business owners and entrepreneurs can take advantage of SBA-guaranteed loans.

“It’s like two people getting married. I’m the matchmaker” 0Craig G. Francis on brokering SBA loans

There are many misconceptions about how SBA loans work, and Francis has the experience and knowledge of the process to help dispel them. Asked what the two biggest myths about SBA loans are, Francis explained that people believe that the federal government makes loans and that the paperwork is burdensome. Both of which could not be farther from the truth.

As Francis explains on The Big Biz Show, the SBA “has never really changed in any major fashion in the last 50 years. What they want to do is get the banks to provide loans to small businesses - that’s their charter.” The SBA does this by providing a guarantee of a portion of loans made by member banks through the process, rather than actually lending money.

As to the myth of heavy paperwork, Francis discounts this completely: “Your SBA loan package can be done with less paperwork to get an answer than a residential loan. And I’ve seen some residential loans.”

The importance of the SBA is this relationship it helps to develop between businesses and banks. “It is a synergistic thing.” Francis explains. “It brings banks, it brings the business owners and it brings the SBA backing the whole thing; and it’s worked well for 50+ years.”

The difficulties arise in knowing how to match the right small business or start-up with the right bank in a way that meets the heavy criteria placed on lenders by federal regulators. As Francis points out, many of the biggest companies today, including FedEx and Nike, started out with SBA funding. “It’s emblematic of what SBA can do at the right time and right place,” he says.

After more than 30 years in lending, Francis knows how to make that relationship work. “It’s a secret,” he says, “but it’s not a big secret. I just happened to have figured out a few ways to massage things to get them to happen.”

“It’s like two people getting married,” Francis says of the process. “I’m the matchmaker.”

In order to help business owners and the general public to better understand the role of the SBA, Francis will be appearing on The Big Biz Show on a regular basis to explain such elements as who would need an SBA loan, the process of applying and how to decide if an SBA loan is the right fit. Viewers and listeners will be able to send in questions about SBA loans, the loan process and what it takes to start a business.

Craig G. Francis is the owner of Francis Financial and The SBA Loan Store. He has been a top producer of SBA Loans since 1981, and has worked with Dun & Bradstreet and Bank of Commerce. Craig Francis has the expertise to steer clients through the often confusing rules and regulations associated with SBA Loans, having helped over 2,500 businesses acquire over a billion dollars in loans. He can be contacted through CraigGFrancis.com, SBALoanStore.com, on LinkedIn, or at 888-666-9722.

Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize! A Call to Action...

The press Secretary Robert Gibbs woke the President early this morning not with bad news but with the good news that he had just won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Obama is "humbled" by the honor, the White House said in a brief statement.

Obama (and the world) react to Nobel Peace Prize news

In a surprise, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

A first thought would have been something gone wrong with the Moon project or Afghanistan but instead the award has been given to only the third sitting US president.

This is unique for a few reasons mainly because he has just come to office and we are still technically at war.

That being stated it seems that the Nobel Peace Prize people are calling President Obama out. I hope that the administration see's this as a "Call to Action".

This country works because we have opposition. We continue to find the middle path.

The challenge is to celebrate the Nobel Peace Prize and then to figure out how we can "own it". How can the administration embrace and surpass the reasons the award was given?

• Outreach to the Muslim world
• A push for Israeli-Arab peace
• Intent in a Nuclear Free World

"Extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" - From the Citation.

It will also be interesting to see how the Extreme right wing pundits handle this one. They have already come under fire recently for representing a smaller and smaller demographic. What they continue to not understand is that the extreme antics and opinions are getting lumped into the "OK you've gone too far." grouping.

Recently to hear Rush and Beck actually play the race card is coming to light (Especially the Larry Wilmore take on Jon Stewart...Nice.) Hello! 1. The guy is half white. 2. Who are they trying to endear themselves to by playing this card? It was the problem with the campaign, by playing to the base demographic you look a little insane to the middle and really insane to the far left.

So in the wake of the Obama racist comments and Rush stating that it's creating an environment where it's OK to beat up on white kids. President Obama actually wins the Nobel Peace Prize. OK so this is another huge chance for these right wing guys to look even more insane by playing to the demographic. Again...

Who are they trying to endear themselves to by playing the Obama is racist card?

It's not me. A guy who is ethnic, who grew up in a black neighborhood and went to white private schools. A guy who continues to have a multi-ethnic friends and associates. A guy who voted for Obama but also voted for an Austrian Republican Governor and a Republican Mayor.

Seriously, I am a radio guy. Again I think Rush is extremely talented and when he makes some great policy observations. However he really lost me when he lost it on the air by getting insanely mad at a caller on air, I think that was one of his drug fueled rants at the time. The reason was I was taught never to do that in a public forum and he did it on one the largest public forums.

That's why I appreciate Hugh Hewitt. He's much more logical about his opinions and he is not as fueled by keeping such large advertising dollars.

Congratulations to President Obama on winning the Nobel Peace Prize!

Appreciate the opposition and let's get back to work people.

"I wanted to bring Warren onto the show to discuss some of the generational issues that we are witnessing with the rise of social media. Social media is getting the buzz right now but the reality is that the same old school principles apply it's just changed forms and is highly scaleable, ultimately leveling the playing field even more." says David Kamatoy, host.

"If your interested in building your business online this is the show to watch. We understand the challenge of the entrepreneur. Your busy running your business, while marketing your business is really another full time job. We want to be able to bridge that gap with knowledge and service."

Warren was instrumental in his position at ipower, inc. one of the largest website hosting service companies on the web; where he created, implemented and managed online marketing campaigns (cpc, cpa, seo, sem, email marketing, content marketing, etc.) that assisted in taking the company from being a virtual unknown to its present ranking of #5 world-wide in the shared website hosting industry.
