- What is your name? Angela Frizell
- What is your blog’s title? Heligonix and Being Me
- What is your blog about? In the Heligonix blog, I write about social media, using social media in the marketing atmosphere and using your website as a marketing tool. Being Me is random thoughts showcasing my struggles with living a happy, healthy life.
- Why did you start blogging? Personally, I started blogging as an alternate option to writing for publications. I used it at first to keep friends posted on MySpace and release some negative energy. I enjoyed it so much that I started posting to blogs on WordPress and through social media sites like WritersCafe.org.
- What’s your favorite Springfield restaurant? That question is unfair. I like food in general, so asking me to name my favorite restaurant is like asking me who my favorite child is. It’s not going to happen. Feelings get hurt. On a lighter note, did you know Springfield is used as a test market for many restaurants throughout the nation? Food Good. Yum.
- What’s your full-time job? I work as a social media strategist for Heligonix, an online marketing and integration company specializing in inbound marketing and discovery.
- What else do you do for fun? I have kids, so every day is a new adventure. When I can break away from work and family, I enjoy attending concerts, canoeing with friends and generally letting loose and having a good time.
- What words of blogging wisdom would you like to share with your fellow bloggers? Schedule blogging on your calendar as a regular appointment. Sometimes seeing that alert pop up on your phone or Outlook calendar is just what you need to stop and do it. Other times, the alert will get dismissed with just a tinge of guilt. Either way, you’re making yourself aware that it’s something that needs to happen. Eventually you will heed the reminder and type up some fabulous, groundbreaking content.
- What’s been your biggest blogging success? I used one blog as an online portfolio. It showcased my talent and capabilities and spoke on my behalf. The blog positioned me as a strong candidate for my current position.
- What’s your favorite local blog? Why? I love faircitynews.com and halfpastawesome.com ‘cause I’m a sucker for sick humor that rides the line of political correctness. Professionally, my favorites are Jeff Bullas blog and the Social Media Examiner. Both sites offer some amazing content and are up-to-date on the most current social media trends.
