Makin’ Whuffie – an entrepreneur’s tribute

Does social media bring people together?

 You bet.

As we have been promoting AZEC09 on Twitter – it captured the imagination of Norris Krueger, in Boise, Idaho.

Since our lunch keynote is Tara Hunt, author of The Whuffie Factor, Norris rewrote the lyrics to the old blues standard – Makin’ Whuffie.

Here is the music – and here are the lyrics:

 

Makin’ Whuffie (with all the requisite apologies…)

 Another pitch, another show,

another “not yet” but still I know;

There is a reason, it’s still the season

for making whuffie

#

A lot of tweets, ain’t it so nice
you are so nervous, you twitter twice
it’s just so killin’ that you’re so willin’
To make some whuffie

#

 You teach a class, you coach a kid

Do your clients… know what you did?

It isn’t ego, it’s just where we go

Off makin’ whuffie

#### 

Picture a little website
maybe a Wordpress blog
picture the same sweet webpage
Think what a year can log

####

You speak pro bono, invest your time
You’re so ambitious, it’s on your dime
but don’t forget folks, that’s what you get folks
For makin’ whuffie

# 

Another year or maybe less
What’s this I hear? Well can’t you just guess
You just realized…. you can’t get monetized
Just makin’ whuffie

#

 You sit alone ….most every night
Paying clients? ….Not even a bite
Don’t you think folks, you oughta help folks
By makin’ whuffie??

####

You ain’t makin’ too much money
But people call your phone
Some folks they think that’s funny

But you’re Follow Friday-ed by Joan

#

So.. Banner ads or SEO?

So many ways to squander dough

But don’t forget folks. ..You can’t go wrong folks
Go make some whuffie

   (slower)
It’s not enough, love;
It’s just enough, love

We’re makin’ whuffie

(and drinking beer and having …)
