ProBlogger Podcast: Blog Tips to Help You Make Money Blogging Give me 31 Days and I’ll Give You a Better Blog Hi there – it’s Darren Rowse from ProBlogger here.

The series was so successful that I repeated it a year or so later and then later turned it into an eBook that has been downloaded tens of thousands of times since. 31DBBB: The Podcast When I started the ProBlogger podcast I decided to take the 31 exercises and turn them into 31 podcast episodes as the first month of podcasts on my podcast. The response was amazing. Best of all… all 31 days are completely free! Keep in mind – these podcasts are mainly between 10-20 minutes long and each contain an activity to DO to improve your blog. There are a number of ways you can access this series. iTunes Firstly it’s all in iTunes. On this Page Via this Series Player Shownotes

Resumes Are Bullshit. HireArt Is Better. HireArt, a newly launched Y Combinator-backed company, is working to solve a major problem that all employers face today: resumes are bullshit. Job candidates often like to fluff up their experience, and sometimes they even outright lie about their abilities. Other times, potentially great employees are overlooked because they have unorthodox backgrounds that don’t match up with what an employer thinks they need in terms of experience. Sometimes these kinds of things are realized during the in-person interview. Unfortunately for many employers, they often don’t discover how much a particular candidate may have oversold themselves until they’ve been hired and can’t perform to expectations. With its new applicant screening system, HireArt thinks it may have a solution: have the employees actually do the work first. Here’s HireArt’s pitch in a nutshell: “You really can’t bullshit anymore.” That’s per co-founder Elli Sharef, in explaining why the traditional resume system is broken.

Getjar ThoughtLeadr : Influence Social Media LeadsZapp Kinobi Will Use Kinect To Teach You Yoga, Dancing Or Maybe Even Surgery YouTube makes it easy to find instructional videos on practically any topic. There are 18,600,000 search results for “how to” on the site at the moment. Obviously not all of them are relevant, but that’s a staggering number. Kinobi wants to solve this problem by using the Microsoft Kinect device to monitor your activity and give you real-time feedback. Kinobi will sell a selection of instructional videos, filmed in 3D, delivered through a web application. The company was founded by Chapman Snowdan, who started the project while he was a fellow at 4.0 Schools. “When I was a kid, I tried everything,” Chapman says. After the 4.0 Schools fellowship Kinobi joined the Launch Pad Ignition incubator in New Orleans in March 2012. Currently Kinobi only works with major muscle movements, but Chapman’s vision is to eventually be able to capture fine motor movements so that it could be used to teach many professional skills, up to and including surgery. Q: couldn’t you still have a live instructor?

Not only is it tieing achievements to real rewards (something rather novel as far as I can see) its tieing the emotions we get from achieving, joy and excitement, to whatever brand name happens to be the reward.

So operant conditioning then? But with an extra step (?) since the reward is both positive reinforcement and the object we are supposed to associate goodness with. by azlinea Apr 12
