3 Multi-Million Dollar Internet Companies that Sprouted from Blogs
What?s the difference between $1,000 and $1,000,000?
To make $1,000 with a blog, all you need is a few customers. Maybe provide a few services, post a couple ad spots, and land a handful of consulting gigs. It?s not too hard.

6 Traits All Entrepreneurs Secretly have in Common
You?ve read a million times what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur: intelligence, vision, drive, perseverance, and a strong work ethic.
But while these are most often repeated entrepreneurial traits, they aren?t the only ones. Through my research I?ve come to find that there are other more surprising characteristics that most all entrepreneurs share.

Why You Shouldn?t Get Bent Out of Shape About Siri Rankings (Yet)
Siri, and by extension Apple Maps, is a hot topic these days. With good reason. But I think it's important to take a step back and not fall victim to "shiny object syndrome," as SEO's (including your humble author) so often do. But the number of questions I get, and chatter that I see, about Siri seems to be way out of proportion. What should that proportion be?

Ultimate Guide: How to Make a Successful Kickstarter Campaign
How do artists, inventors, and entrepreneurs raise money for their big ideas?
Increasingly, the answer is crowdfunding. As the Internet becomes a faster, friendlier, and better-connected place, it has never been easier to raise large amounts of money online.
Kickstarter is the website leading the pack. Since launching in April 2009, 26 million people have joined Kickstarter, together pledging over $328 million dollars to 28,000 projects. Though it?s only available in The United States so far, Kickstarter recently announced that they?ll be expanding to the UK in fall 2012.

Inspiration from 20 of the World?s Top Online Entrepreneurs
When done right, communication is the most powerful thing in the world. A true message communicated powerfully will permanently change the way people think and act.
Effective communication also happens to be one of my passions. So when Michael Dunlop asked me to edit a book of interviews with 20 of the world?s most successful online entrepreneurs, I saw it as an opportunity to flex my communicative muscle.
I expected to edit each interview into a piece of effective communication that would change the way the reader would think, act, and ultimately make money online. But what I didn?t expect was the impact that the interviews would have on my own personal video production business.

How To Sleep Deeper, Wake Up Earlier & Become Superhuman

I am one of those people that set their alarms earlier just so I can hit snooze three or four times? at least I was. Is Snooze Slowly Killing You? Maybe “kill” is too strong of a word, or maybe it’s not. But let’s define killing you. Have you ever noticed when you hit snooze you wake up more tired, get less done, have a foul attitude towards life, and are generally just not at your peak performance? Have you noticed this effects your business, fitness, and most importantly your relationships? Or the fact that you get the recommended allowance of 7 to 9 hours recommended by just about everyone? but never feel [...]

Powerpoint is sometimes a marketer?s best friend
If you’ve ever been to a marketing conference – or any major conference or convention for that matter – you already know that not all Powerpoint presentations are made equally. Some are very bland, boring, and by the book. Others come alive with imagery, humor, and a compelling storyline while serving as a springboard for [...]

Ultimate Guide: How to Make a Successful Kickstarter Campaign
How do artists, inventors, and entrepreneurs raise money for their big ideas?
Increasingly, the answer is crowdfunding. As the Internet becomes a faster, friendlier, and better-connected place, it has never been easier to raise large amounts of money online.
Kickstarter is the website leading the pack. Since launching in April 2009, 26 million people have joined Kickstarter, together pledging over $328 million dollars to 28,000 projects. Though it?s only available in The United States so far, Kickstarter recently announced that they?ll be expanding to the UK in fall 2012.

How To Sleep Deeper, Wake Up Earlier & Become Superhuman
“Mom? 5 more minutes” sound familiar? I love to sleep. In fact, I love to sleep so much I think this is the main reason I got out of the military and eventually started my own business. I am one of those people that set their alarms earlier just so I can hit snooze three or four times? at least I was. Is Snooze Slowly Killing You? Maybe “kill” is too strong of a word, or maybe it’s not. But let’s define killing you. Have you ever noticed when you hit snooze you wake up more tired, get less done, have a foul attitude towards life, and are generally just not at your peak performance? Have you noticed this effects your business, fitness, and most importantly your relationships? Or the fact that you get the recommended allowance of 7 to 9 hours recommended by just about everyone? but never feel [...]

Why search is about a heck of a lot more than just marketing
I never cease to be amazed by search marketers that: a) complain about the Powers That Be (e.g. Google, etc.) b) chase algorithms c) operate in utter and complete search vacuum (or worse yet an “SEO only” or “paid search only” vacuum) The first one freaks me out because there are so many other moral/ethical [...]

3 Multi-Million Dollar Internet Companies that Sprouted from Blogs
What?s the difference between $1,000 and $1,000,000?
To make $1,000 with a blog, all you need is a few customers. Maybe provide a few services, post a couple ad spots, and land a handful of consulting gigs. It?s not too hard.

6 Traits All Entrepreneurs Secretly have in Common
You?ve read a million times what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur: intelligence, vision, drive, perseverance, and a strong work ethic.
But while these are most often repeated entrepreneurial traits, they aren?t the only ones. Through my research I?ve come to find that there are other more surprising characteristics that most all entrepreneurs share.

The revolution of enterprise marketing leadership will not be televised
Something that has always amazed me over the past half-decade or so is the obvious disparity between the makeup of marketing thought leadership on social networks and blogs versus the makeup of marketing executive leadership at enterprise brands.

Inspiration from 20 of the World?s Top Online Entrepreneurs
When done right, communication is the most powerful thing in the world. A true message communicated powerfully will permanently change the way people think and act.
Effective communication also happens to be one of my passions. So when Michael Dunlop asked me to edit a book of interviews with 20 of the world?s most successful online entrepreneurs, I saw it as an opportunity to flex my communicative muscle.
I expected to edit each interview into a piece of effective communication that would change the way the reader would think, act, and ultimately make money online. But what I didn?t expect was the impact that the interviews would have on my own personal video production business.
