My Work

Viral List Posts

I used to write list posts highlighting bloggers that were doing interesting things. These posts would generate a lot of conversation.

I wrote a column highlighting awesome bloggers to watch for Problogger for 4 years.

I also wrote a post for the now defunct Netsetter blog. The post is no longer live, but it generated a lot of conversation.

A fine example of this strategy being put to use recently can be seen on Jade Craven’s post at TheNetsetter.com, 50 Netsetters You Should Know About.
Take notice of how many comments were made, as well as how many of those comments were actually from people featured in that article. Also, although it doesn’t say on the blog itself, bit.ly tells me that this post has been retweeted 458 times (as of about 24 hours after it’s post). That’s a lot of reach, and I guarantee you that many of those retweets came from people featured in that post as well. Just imagine how many followers total those 50 people have on Twitter alone.

When the Netsetter blog (part of the Envato) network decided to relaunch, they were smart to ask Jade Craven to write a post for the relaunch week. Jade created a round-up post called 50 Netsetters You Should Know About that was a huge success.

I managed the Pinerest strategy for Digital Photography School, one of the leading photography blogs, for 3 years. I grew the account to over 70’000 followers.

Additionally, I was one of the early experts on Pinterest.

My post The 3 step Guide to Creating Pinterest-friendly Graphics for Your Blog was one of the top 20 posts on Problogger in 2012. Darren said:

I wish Jade would post more often, but when she does, there’s usually some excellent content on offer. In fact, Jade has just started one of the first ever blogging magazines, with hers focusing on marketing. Definitely one to watch.

Darren said some really nice comments at a local social media event – you can hear them about 40 seconds in. It was completely unexpected

The ProBlogger Top 20 of 2012

Jonathan Fields

“Three words. Authentic, helpful and seriously-connected. Actually, I’m pretty sure the first two led to the second, because Jade has that ability to build relationships that are genuine and service minded. She’s not just in it for her, she’s in it for you. And that’s one powerful place to be operating from. I’m always watching and learning from her.”

Alexis Grant

Jade Craven is by far my favorite resource for product launches. She has ideas coming out of her ears — both for promotional strategies that work, and for who you should get to know online to create buzz about your product. Her head is like a Rolodex of movers and shakers in the digital world.

Ali Luke

I’ve always been extremely impressed by her attention to detail and her diligence and conscientious attitude — particularly in the blogosphere, where she really shines as a rare gem! Jade has the knack of connecting easily with people on every level; she’s generous, thoughtful, and manages to combine sincere friendship with true professionalism.
