Have you thought about giving users what they want<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Have you asked them what they want? Why not.\u00a0 Give it a try.<\/p>\n

During the weekend I attended Barcamp Auckland.\u00a0 Barcamp is essentially a conference that evolves to what it’s attendee’s want.\u00a0 Sessions are put forward by attendee’s on the day.\u00a0 You go to the sessions you want.<\/p>\n

I put forward three ideas, hoping to present one.\u00a0 I presented three!<\/p>\n

1) Tech Productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was first up.\u00a0 No planning.\u00a0 Had to go off the cuff (which went well).\u00a0 I talked over various methods of being productive but mainly focused on getting a discussion going (giving the users what they want).\u00a0 I quickly got to the core of their problems and let them help each other.\u00a0 (a metaphor for marketing that I constantly use, help me help you)<\/p>\n

2) Creating a compelling experience online<\/strong><\/p>\n

No planning here either.\u00a0 I simply outlaid the framework discussed here.\u00a0 Then applied it and got a discussion going.\u00a0 The 45 minutes flew by!<\/p>\n

3) SEO Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a much smaller session but was of good quality.\u00a0 I talked through about SEO Strategy and gave away a few trade secrets (to some attendees annoyance).<\/p>\n

Overall great day, great end result.\u00a0 Everyone appeared happy.\u00a0 As above give people what they want<\/strong>.\u00a0 If they don’t know what they want show them some options, they will pick.<\/p>\n

For photo’s visit the Flickr group<\/a>.\u00a0 Twitter Discussion<\/a> (via summize).<\/p>\n

Great to meet those that read my blog.\u00a0 I will also be attending ‘Demystifying Angel Investment<\/a>‘ run by the IceHouse on the 23rd July, Auckland.\u00a0 You can read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Great chance to get free food \/ beer.\u00a0 Find out more about angel investment, the angel network and networking. (I know you were sold on free food \/ beer).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
