Paul Chaney will be delivering a Keynote address to the attendees of REBarcampHouston on October 22, 2008. Paul is a published author and the president of the International Blogging and New Media Association.
Paul is Internet marketing director for Web content management software company, Bizzuka.com. In this role, Paul is charged with incorporating new media marketing strategies and techniques into the marketing mix.
He is also the newly-elected president of the International Blogging and New Media Association (IBNMA), a non-profit trade association committed to the growth of blogging, podcasting and social media as an industry.
Paul has been involved in online marketing for over a decade. Having been one of the first business blogging consultants he understands at a granular level how conversational media tools such as blogs can be used for marketing purposes and has worked with a number of clients assisting them in deploying such strategies.
Paul was co-founder of Blogging Systems, a blog software company that significantly impacted the real estate industry in terms of encouraging Realtors to adopt blogging as a marketing strategy. Along with Blogging Systems CEO Richard Nacht, he co-authored Realty Blogging: Build your Brand and Outsmart Your Competition, which similarly impacted the industry and which was the first blogging book to target a specific industry vertical.
He is a feature writer for Practical E-commerce magazine on the use of blogs and social media for marketing purposes. He has led numerous workshops and seminars on the topic, including the first ever such seminar in Asia in 2005. He also blogged professionally with Weblogs, Inc, as well as with Allbusiness.com.
Paul has served as Technical Editor on a number of the “For Dummies” series of books related to blogs and Internet marketing, and was contributing writer on Buzz Marketing with Blogs For Dummies, published by Wiley.
He is also writing a new book on social media marketing due for publication in 2009.
We are very excited to have Paul joining us to get the attendees prepared for the day. Paul also plans to conduct and participate in sessions, so be sure to RSVP soon and join us for a great day of fun, networking, education and more!

We’re Moving Forward With Real Estate Barcamp Houston
Posted by Michael Price | Filed under News
We’ve decided to push forward with REBarcamp Houston. That means we’re going to need some extra help getting the word out and get more sponsors. I am going to look at a facility near The Woodlands tomorrow that will be perfect for our needs.
If you’re attending please RSVP so we can start getting a head count. If you know of an individual or company who can sponsor, please have them contact me. Sponsorship is only $250.
Rich Jacobson with Active Rain is stepping up in a big way, he is even coming in a day early to help us get set up. Lani has offered to take a more active role as well. More details will be forthcoming. We will be establishing the sponsorship payment page in the next couple of days.
