In a previous episodes we discussed Your Social Media Hub and how WordPress Blogs are the heart of your hub. We talked about the first spoke of your social media hub, Twitter. We add another spoke to your social media hub, LinkedIn in this episode.

In this episode of Syndicating Your Content, we’ll talk about YouTube as another spoke.

If you haven’t embraced social media, maybe these 10 reasons will show you why you need to care.

Jason Grigsby of Cloud Four discusses the bloat that’s crept into web site design processes and how to combat it to keep your WordPress installation lean and optimized. He shares tips and tricks for caching, choosing the right resources for your blog, compression, and other optimization strategies for your WordPress-powered site.

Let me know if you have any questions about the video, or your WordPress blog.

Thomas Mangum, Virtual Coffee, interviewed me today for his online radio show.

We discussed why you’d want to syndicate your content and some of the ways to develop your own intellectual property to sell online, as passive income.

Of course, I discussed blogging, in particular using WordPress as a launching point. I then shared about importing your blog into Facebook and Linkedin. I shared some tips on creating your first ebook to give away from your website as a list building tool.

Let me know what you think about the interview by commenting.

Penny Haynes, Commercial Creation Center, and I had a discussion about using audio and video in combination with social media as a way to leverage business on the Internet.

Penny took an informal poll over at LinkedIn, asking about which social networking sites other business owners and professionals used. The usual suspects were mentioned, in addition to a few that aren’t well know.  The sites discussed were:

• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• Plurk
• FriendFeed
• YouTube

Bottom line, if you really want to maximize your social networking, it’s imperative that you gain your site visitor’s trust and multimedia can do that for you. It’s getting easier and easier to create audio and video. The Commercial Creation Center is a push button system to let you do just that, reach out to your community in a very personal manner.

If you are already using audio and video, feel free to share your experience, what has worked and what didn’t.

As I use Facebook more and more, I’m seeing the opportunities to syndicate (share) blog content. One of the first things you should do when establishing your Facebook profile is import your blog into your Facebook Notes. Now, when you post to your blog, it will automatically show up on your Facebook profile. Here’s the How To Import Your Blog Into Facebook Video!
