Speaking At Local University Workshop – SMX Advanced Edition

Space Needle - Seattle

Just wanted to drop a quick note that talks about what is going on this week. I will be speaking at the SMX Advanced Local U Workshop on Thursday June 7th in the beautiful city of Seattle. I love local, and especially am excited to be speaking with all my buds that are presenting that day. It is an honor to be included in the amazing line up.

I will be speaking on Siri Optimization and “Checking In” (SoLoMo style) during the “Not Google Places” panel. I have put together some pretty good case studies, examples and real world take-aways. Look forward to sharing this info and hoping people walking away with some great information and ideas.

Checkout the entire awesome line up by visiting the above link. See you in Seattle!

Good Example Of Getting Yourself Known

Matt Siltala — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 04:38:59 +0000

I spent the better part of this week in Seattle for SMX Advanced 2010 and got to see a lot of my old friends, and meet new awesome ones. Conferences are always awesome, but SMX Advanced is even more special to me because of relationships made at a past one I attended (hat tip Cameron). I feel it brings huge opportunity for those who attend & speak – if, and I say IF …. they are smart and think outside of the box. There was one such individual that did think outside the box this year and impressed me. His name is Thomas Ballantyne he owns Blog Pest Control & he made me a shirt! Its been done before you say? Maybe, but never like this before – HIS TWIST? He really enjoyed something I had said on Twitter, and ended up making me a shirt with that specific “tweet” (see below)

So thinking outside the box is going to get Thomas known, get him links (from posts like this) and do a great job at establishing his name in our industry. Again, I thought it was brilliant and wanted to give him some props. I know that he made shirts for a few others too, and also gave out some regular ones, but again – hat tip Thomas! (and thanks again for the shirt) I would love to have Thomas (if he sees this, which I am sure he will) share some more and how he made out after doing all this? Even cooler? I found out he lives a few miles away from me in the Phoenix area. Lunch?

So think outside the box like Thomas, and do something that will make people talk about you and remember you! SMX Advanced 2010 was a blast and I am so glad I had the opportunity to speak, enjoy old friends and make new ones!

SMX Advanced 2010 – Speaking on Location Based Services

Matt Siltala — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 21:31:02 +0000

I am really looking forward to SMX Advanced this year for many reasons, but the biggest this year is being able to hang out with some of the most awesome friends on the planet. Another reason is because I am on a pretty kick butt panel with some amazing fellas called “Location Services: The new local search?”

Moderator: Greg Sterling, Founding Principal, Sterling Market Intelligence

Speakers:

Vince Blackham, Founder & CEO, Primary Affect
Michael Martin, Owner, Mobile Martin
Will Scott, President, Search Influence
Dylan Swift, Director of Local Business Marketing, Yelp

I look forward to seeing you all there, please make sure and come up and say hi! Some of the best friends I have in this industry came about by going up and saying hi! Some of the best info I have gotten out of other speakers was when we were hanging out, chilling in a bar or eating dinner!

This Post Is Dedicated To Matt McGee

Matt Siltala — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:44:56 +0000

How about this for a headline: Matt McGee, an Arizona Cardinals fan?

Matt McGee, a great friend of mine was such an awesome sport about this. Ok, maybe he was a little upset at himself for making this bet (The Arizona Cardinals would get further in the 2009 season than the Seahawks), but we had fun with it. To show my appreciation to Matt I wanted to make sure and post the pics for ALL to see. Here ya go Matt:

This looks hard for this Seahawks fan

Matt still not looking "happy" with this fake smile here.

What a good sport wearing the jersey during his Twitter clinc

Love this, Thanks Matt for being such a good sport!
