I’m happy to announce that today I launched a new blog that focuses on internet marketing and social media marketing, Traffikd. The reason behind the new blog is a desire to write more about some different topics that aren’t covered as frequently here. I don’t anticipate that it will in any way affect the content or frequency of posting here, as this blog remains my priority. There will probably be about 3 or 4 posts per week at Traffikd, so if the topic interests you, I would love to have you as a subscriber (you can click here for the feed).
Traffikd includes a page that lists over 400 categorized social media and social networking sites. This page will be continually updated as I hope to make it the go-to resource for finding new social media sites. If you are looking for sites to promote your blog or website, this is a great place to start.
The blog was launched with 5 posts:
- Top 10 Reasons to Use Social Media
- Challenges that Social Media Marketers Must Overcome
- 10 Keys to a Successful Resource List
- Keys to Newsworthy Blog Posts
- What Makes StumbleUpon Unique
The site was just launched about an hour ago so the comments are non-existent and I feel a bit lonely. If you get a chance, please stop by and let me know what you think. (The look of the site is not complete, but I wanted to launch rather than wait longer. If you notice any problems, please use the contact form.)

Hey, I’d love to subscribe, but the feed link shows a “hello world” post. When I visit the site, it’s clear that posts are there… technical difficulties?

I am going to check it out right now.

Great to hear that a blog will be adding on to my social media knowledge.
All the best, you got yourself a reader for that blog.

Steven, your new blog is beautiful and has useful content. I became new blog’s rss subscriber.

Subscribed instantly, sight (or in this case, site) unseen. That’s what building trust will do for you. Great job Steven. Really looking forward to it.

James,
I think maybe the FeedBurner feed just hadn’t updated yet. It shows the posts as they should appear (at least that’s what I’m seeing). If you continue to have a problem please let me know.
Madhur,
Thanks! I hope you find something there that you like.
Wayne, Dedsused, and Michael,
Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it.

@ Madhur - I think you’re right. About two hours later, my reader suddenly filled up. And here I was thinking you had something to do with that…

I’ve been looking to do some homework in this area and this looks like a great ‘course’ to sign up to. I’m a fan of your work here so you can count me in on Traffikd too.

Thanks Verne! Happy to have you as a reader.

Seems I’m not the only one branching out lately. Best of luck with it, Steven. I hope it all goes well for you.
