Lesson #3: Create A Website That Will Keep Them Coming Back
“It all got started about a year and a half ago,” says Jameson. “I had just started thinking about it at that time.”

The 120 Day Wonder: How to Evangelize a Blog
I know a fair amount about evangelism and a little bit about blogging, so I've combined the two in order to provide some insights into the evangelism of a blog. Granted, I've only been at blogging for 120 days or so, but marketing is marketing, right?
Wikipedia for Patents
John Funk, an entrepreneur (I’m an investor in John’s newest company – Evergreen IP) and friend has a innovative proposal up concerning changing the rules on the current patent system. I’ve been on both sides of the patent aisle with John – we like to joke that early on in our relationship John’s company sued one of my companies (and then my company sued John’s company back) for patent infringement (the companies settled several years later for a cross license and $1 – much to the delight of the lawyers who got all the bucks.) Fortunately we got past all that crap and have developed a nice friendship.
The Art of Innovation
I'm getting tired of writing about lies, so today I'm covering truths. Specifically, the truths of innovation. I hold these truths to not be self-evident; hence we see so little innovation.
Celebrate Your Victories
Q109 is over. The numbers are starting to roll in. After all the gloom and doom at the end of 2008, I’m very pleased with the performance of most of the companies in our portfolio. As I mentioned the other day, some struggled, but many met or exceeded their Q109 plans, and several of them destroyed them (sandbaggers, how I love thee.)
Is Social Media Killing Your Business?
I know today’s short post might come as a surprise to regular readers of this blog, but even though I promote the heck out of social media use for small business, I see a dangerous side as well.

Lesson #5: “We’re holding on to the ship with our fingernails”
“I remember Ev going home one weekend and coming back with this genius plan for Odeo, and he asked me to read it,” recalls Stone. “It was this whole plan for how we could make it a successful business. I thought wow this is genius, but then again so is podcasting. Then slept on it. Do we want to be kings of podcasting? We were constantly gut checking.”
The 5 Golden Rules of Awesome Blogging
Whenever you sit down and decide to write for your bog always communicate in plain language. Anyone who traveled to a foreign country knows that speaking the native tongue is much better that using a translator or a dictionary. In the land of the web, things are no different. Learn the "native language of the web" and all the web surfers will read and understand you better.
Surround Yourself With Greatness (Not Lameness) For Extraordinary Success
We all want to achieve great things, accomplish our goals and be happy. But what do you do when your well-meaning friends are weighing you down and dulling your progress? It's now time to surround yourself with friends who support your goals and are mentors to your success. It's time to weed out the rest. With the weight lifted, you will have the confidence, clarity and focus to accelerate your success.

Time to Get Organized with your Social Media Marketing
Take charge of your social media marketing by organizing yourself and your work. Use Getting Things Done principles to manage workflow and 80/20 thinking to cut out the useless activity.

Why Use Online Marketing?
Why use online marketing? The reasons are plentiful, but the two biggest concern arrogance and leverage.
I Want to Advertise My Home Business for Free: A Cheap and Easy Guide for How and Why to Spread the Word of You, Inc.
Before we get started, why are we talking about spreading the word of YOU when you say "Roy, I told you I want to advertise my home business for free, what does spreading the word of me have to do with my business?" The short and simple answer: Everything. There are three main understandings that are necessary to bring together to begin a successful online business marketing campaign. 1. The understanding that people connect with and join not a business or company, but you. 2. You need to leverage as many free methods of marketing available to you online to be effective. The more the merrier. 3. The understanding that your advertising needs to give universal value to your target market before directing them to your product, regardless of what method of marketing you use. People join people of value, not a sales pitch.
Why You Want Your Design Layout to Look Like CRAP!
Ok you have marketing copy that sells. Before you send out your direct marketing mailer you need to consider the design layout. Is it CRAP?

Is Goal a 4 Letter Word?
For some sales people and business owners, goal setting is natural; maybe for you it is something you do everyday. Other people find huge value in hiring a coach, just as Tiger Woods has 3 coaches; the most successful people in the world know how they have benefited from using a coach.

A Bad Economy Doesn't Mean Stick Your Head In The Sand
Focus more on what you can do to take control of your own destiny and leave the things you can’t control out of your head.
Packaging: dressing your product in a fashion conscious market
Packaging. It’s something most people don’t necessarily think about, perhaps partly due to the fact that it is so overwhelmingly pervasive. Even just picking up groceries for the week, in a single forum we are subjected to the end results of thousands of individual design and branding endeavours; some good, some bad, and the rest forgettable.
The Power to Influence People
When it all comes down to the key reasons that help you to influence people it basically comes down to your own self belief systems. If you have negative thoughts about yourself they will always effect your actions in front of people that you need to influence the most. Crazy I know, but it's true
Do You Remember Being Limitless?
Your success strategy is both the source of your success-to-date but also the source of your limitations. If you’re up to a big game, moving beyond your “success strategy” is crucial at creating a whole new level of results. Naturally, the first step in controlling it verses it controlling you, is to identify it.
Networking Power
Is networking effective or even necessary? Is it tough to find time for networking?
Social Media Marketing - Participation vs. Exploitation
The term, "social media marketing", is an oxymoron. If you think about the process only as “marketing”, you’re likely going to fail, because you are trying to exploit the very concept that these networks were founded on.

Are you really good at handling cr@p?
Bad stuff happens to good and even somewhat enlightened people. But when you get really good at handling cruddy stuff often enough, you become comfortable with it. You might think that you’re living better now that you’re able to tolerate bad stuff without flying off the handle, but is that really a good thing?

Uh-Oh Marketing
“Uh-oh” is the repetitive expletive that carries with it the foreboding, stomach wrenching realization that something is wrong. “Oh-oh” - the sound of doom. All of us have been known to utter instantaneous expletives (usually four letters like “darn!” or “crap!”) immediately as something negative unexpectedly happens. But the term “uh-oh” usually follows the thoughtful and longer term realization that something is just not right.
