I’ve been doing some traveling for work in the last couple months. Boise, Idaho; The Dalles, OR; Hood River, OR; and most recently, Seattle – The Emerald City. Here’s a pic of me and my team of Constant Contact Authorized Local Experts (ALEs) in front of the Wall of Gum. We did a presentation for about 100 people last week which was a lot of fun.

All righty then! I hope you’re having a great day/week/month and life. I love feedback – please tell me what you think of my newsletter and any thoughts you have about what I’m up to.
Oh, are you hungry for salmon? My friend, Clint, is off in Alaska fishing now and has a CSF – Community Supported Fishery! Get in on an amazingly tasty deal, here.
And, if you’re in Portlandia on Thursday night, June 12th – please come by Marino’s Adriatic Cafe @ 4129 SE Division to hear me play with my friend, Natalie Staggs. We’ll start at 8pm. Save room for desert!
That’s it from me.
Take care,
Albert

Once upon a time people wrote in diaries. If you wanted to learn what your grandmother was thinking, you could read her diary and learn how she met your grandfather. If the diary was kept, if it was legible, if it made it from point A into your hands! Now, fast forward to today – a time when many of us are keeping our “diaries” up to date on a daily if not hourly basis on Facebook and other internet sites. If we want to – the keys to our accounts could be passed along to our offspring or friends and our online identities (diaries) could be kept up for a long time, possibly forever! Anyone who wants to can pretty easily turn their online musings into a website that should last a long long time.
I was pondering this concept on a trip to the Oregon coast this past weekend. What might it be like for future generations to be able to go back in time and review what their parents and grandparents were doing – that intimate look could be so useful to a biographer, sibling, or anyone, really.
That led me to rethink a little what we post on-line. I keep finding value in sharing what I’m doing on Facebook and beyond. I think I’m now conceiving it as a way to inform people of my various projects – to get assistance, but also for a reason I had never thought of before. Have you ever been somewhere and someone approached you – a Facebook only friend? And, it turns out that they know something about you though you might not know much about them. Or, vice versa. I have this experience frequently. This weekend at the beach, I stumbled on a group of women who were sitting around a lovely campfire on the beach. It turned out that I knew 3 of the women, and was FB friends with a few more. That instant recognition and also their general knowledge of what I’m up to in the world led to a level of welcome and appreciation that = reputation. My reputation in that moment was not “stranger” it was – “someone we know who does good things in the world”. That, in turn, led to a level of welcome/hospitality that was very helpful in that moment and pleasant.
So, the reasons to share with the world what you’re thinking seem to continue to grow. People often ask me what/why to post on social networks – here are a couple answers to that question. Somewhat we’re all flying on blind faith that this is useful, and if I come up with more reasons why this is good practice (besides some other obvious ones – connecting you with people you want to know – finding resources that you seek – finding help with projects, etc) I will share them here. Can you think of any reasons that are interesting why a person might want to post on social networks?
Hi there,
Well, it’s been a fine Summer, hasn’t it? I’ve been doing some research these past couple months and have come up with a few things I think you may find useful.
First, friends lists on Facebook. Sounds simple enough, but the more I talk with people, the more I’m hearing a consistent frustration in FB usage. This short video describes why I think it’s useful to make lists of friends – and how to set one (or more) up.

I’ve begun working closely with two clients –
Robin Denburg, Realty Robin – https://www.facebook.com/RealtyRobinPortland
And Jane’s Healthy Kitchen: https://www.facebook.com/JanesHealthyKitchen
If real estate (buying or selling a home in Portland) or eating healthier interest you, please do check out Jane and Robin’s pages, like them and say hello. Robin’s one of the nicest people involved in real estate I’ve ever met and Jane’s cookbook (due out in November) is sure to be a winner.
Second, Jane and Robin have hired me to “do” their social networking for a month. We’re trying this out – interestingly, they both picked the same month – so, I’m learning a lot about supporting businesses closely in the social media/website/email marketing space right now.
If such an arrangement sounds interesting to you, let’s talk. I think it’s a valuable way to go – especially to jump start your marketing efforts if you’re just getting started, but also for those who’ve been at it for a while. I have been focusing my efforts in this area closely for years now and I understand a lot about how to make best use of these tools.
I also continue to work with some clients on a one-on-one hourly basis – and that’s proving useful, as well.
In October I’ll begin offering my group classes ($30/2-hours) and I’ll let you know when the next classes are when I schedule them.
I continue to pepper my fan page: https://facebook.com/albertideation with useful tools that I find along the way – if you haven’t visited for a while, a quick scroll down the page will give you some ideas you may not have thought of. Also, I have also been using my newsletter and website as ways to provide this information to the world.
I hope you’re having a great end of Summer and look forward to supporting you in the coming months and years.
With Gratitude,
Albert Kaufman
