Create a Custom Business Website in 13 Minutes and 33 Seconds
Last year, I converted the Big Brand System website over to the Prose theme by StudioPress, and wrote a review about it here . I’ve enjoyed creating my website on the Prose theme so much that I made it the basis of the tool I developed with Wendy Cholbi to help small business owners create their own websites, Site Setup Kit . But Prose is So … Plain
Copyright Math: the best TED Talk you'll watch all year
This may just be the best TED Talk video I've seen: listen.com/Rhapsody founder and extremely funny person (and soon-to-be debut science fiction author) Rob Reid examines the math behind the claims made by the copyright lobby and explains the mindbending awesomeness of the sums used to justify SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and the like. Here's Ars Technica's Ken Fisher discussing Reid's philosophy: Reid’s goal was to capture and represent some of the rhetoric from that past decade and a half in a way that would fill the hall with laughter, even if some of it came at the expense of some clearly ridiculous industry arguments. “Everyone can laugh at silly infographics,” Reid opined while silently crushing the serious journalism dreams of hacks everywhere. “And who doesn't want to deface a Leave-it-to-Beaver-like Christmas scene with pirate-and-Santa graffiti?”How to Build Profitable Hyperlocal Websites
I’m often asked what kind of sites I’d be building if I wasn’t running Copyblogger Media. Actually, I’m in the process of producing a few new projects, and they are all of the hyperlocal variety. Hyperlocal websites provide content related to a very limited geographic area, such as a town, neighborhood, or even a single zip code within a city.
Crowdfunding Law Will Turn the Start-Up World Upside Down - Tim Rowe - Voices
Remember that special moment when we all realized that the Web was going to remake yard sales and auctions, but we didn’t know yet who was going to win? (And then eBay left the rest in the dust?) Such a moment has come again, and with a choice prize: Investing in start-ups. The House has already passed crowdfunding legislation, by a whopping majority. The president supports it. Senators on both sides of the aisle (Merkley, Bennet, and Brown) have agreed on a version.

I’ve had many mentors in my life & for my work— none more important than John Caples . If the world of Advertising has a grandfather (perhaps more “Godfather”) it’s Mr. Caples.

How Much Does Social Media Cost Companies in 2012?
UPDATE: If you would like to see the newest version of my Social Media Marketing Rate Sheet , please Click Here . Two years ago I wrote a post entitled So How Much Will a Social Media Strategy Cost , which was designed to give businesses and organizations an idea of how much they should expect to pay consultants and agencies for basic social media marketing services. As you might expect, that post was insanely popular, so I followed it up with How Much Does Social Media Cost Companies in 2011 last year, and now this year those prices are being updated again with this post. For all three, these prices are taken from published rates found online, as well as what other agencies and consultants have told me they charge for these services.

Why You Should Avoid Checkbox Recruiting March 18th, 2013 One of the biggest mistakes I see real estate brokers make in recruiting is to focus on checkboxes. By this, I mean that their recruiting package is based far too heavily on the size of the list of services (including technology) that they provide to their agents. Here’s the problem with that: everyone’s lists look …Read More The (lack of) Popularity of Blackberry Phones for Real Estate Search

7 Big Marketing Lessons Learned From Tim Ferriss
This week I was fortunate to have author/blogger Tim Ferriss on RISE (in case you missed it, here is the interview with him ). To say Tim is an interesting character would be a massive understatement. Just a few years ago (in 2006), nobody knew who Tim was (except probably his parents and a few others).The Web Marketing Association congratulates all of the winners in the 2013 Internet Advertising Competition Awards!

I was going to call this article “All “Social Media Experts” need to go die in a fire,” but I figured I should be nicer than that. But my title stands. If you call yourself a “Social Media Expert,” don’t even bother sending me your resume. No business in the world should want a “Social Media Expert” on their team. They shouldn’t want a guru, rock-star, or savant, either. If you have a “Social Media Expert” on your payroll, you’re wasting your money.
