Jeremy Zawodny Commits Headline Terrorism On Andy Beal
What else are we gonna call it? Honestly, what Jeremy did is the worst thing you can do to someone in the online business, and that is to insinuate negative things, purposely, through a link-bait headline. Case in point. He wrote, and I quote, ‘Andy Beal Spamming MyBlogLog?’. Link. For those of you who don’t know Andy Beal, he’s a well-known and respected search engine marketing expert. So to drop a headline with his name, and the word “spamming”... Read More »

Show Me Your Business Card, & I’ll Show You Mine
Sam tagged me to show off my business card. The problem is that I have 3 business cards at the moment (JimKukral.com, ReveNews & Forge/BlogKits), and they’re all pretty boring. So instead of scanning in those cards and showing them here, I figured I’d just design a new card that encapsulated my primary projects and contact information, specifically built for giving out at trade shows. The idea behind this card design is to A.) Show my face so people remember me,... Read More »
I Couldn’t Give A Crap About The iPhone
How’s that for a headline! Say it with a scottish accent, emphasis ‘crap’, it’s fun. Seriously, what is the big deal with this? I just don’t get it. Yeah, it’s cool looking and all that, but can it teleport me to Japan, or can it launch me into space or is it just a stupid phone with some audio/video stuff built in? Answer: It’s a stupid phone, that’s overpriced and won’t even be used by hardly anyone who isn’t... Read More »
Donate $100k For Premium Ad Space On Jason Calacanis’s Blog
Super blog powers unite! Shape of… a big juicy charitable blog meme! I can feel something starting to happen. A meme you say Jim? Yes, Shawn, a meme! Earlier today I wrote about how bloggers like Jason Calacanis and others could/should be selling ads or sponsorships, or whatever they can, on their blogs for the simple sake of giving the money they don’t need to charity. I mean, why not? If you can help people with your blog super powers, why not, right? Well,... Read More »
The Big Boys Of Blogging Could Be Rich…er
Today over at my BlogKits blog I wrote about how 5 of today’s big top bloggers are leaving close to half a million bucks on the table by not monetizing their blogs. The piece was interesting because I enlisted the feedback from several expert online marketers who provided detailed advice and projections about the topic. Even Seth Godin himself left a comment on the blog entry, check it out. If Robert Scoble, Jason Calacanis, Mark Cuban, Guy Kawasaki & Seth Godin... Read More »

I Invented Something Today: Vlog-terviews
Check out my first vlog-terview over at my ReveNews blog. It’s a video blog interview with Loren Feldman of 1938media.com. I’m inventing, I think, a new form of online interview that I’m calling “Vlog-terviews”. Get it? “Vlogs” (video blogs) plus “Interviews”. Ok, maybe it needs a new name, I’ll work on it. A Vlog-terview is when you interview someone by sending them questions and asking them to respond via video.... Read More »
Vlog Fights: Free Online Marketing/Business Idea #2
I’ve had this idea in my head for a long time now, but today Wired (Michael Calore) helped me finally get it out there. They wrote a piece called ‘ Best Blogfights of 2006‘. If bloggers know how to do one thing really well, it’s fight. Blogging is driven largely by raw emotion. When a blogger goes on an opinionated tirade about one topic or another, it’s often an honest emotional reaction rather than anything malicious. But whatever the motivation... Read More »

Would You Change Your Name For $30k?
This guy would, and will, officially on Groundhog Day in 07. My name is Scott MacDonald (for now) and on February 2nd, 2007 I will change my name to whatever the highest bidder decides! I think this is is pretty clever, and heck, it’s working too. The current bid is $36,789.10 to change his name to “Finest Freshest Fastest” by a company called CupOJoeOnline.com. I can’t imagine paying that kind of money for a publicity stunt without guarantees that... Read More »

Long Live Personality Marketing Ala Mark Cuban
If it appears that I am stalking Mark Cuban, I am not. Here’s the problem I have with him. He’s smart and make a lot of sense and I keep learning things from his blog. Therefore, I keep wanting to talk about what he says. So Mark, keep it up, and I’ll keep learning. On Christmas Mark let out a blog entry entitled ‘The Lesson Of Happy Gilmore and Pro Sports Marketing‘. The piece basically talks about why the movie Happy Gilmore mimics everything... Read More »
Techcrunch Conversation Tracker: Free Online Marketing Idea #1
If you’re an avid reader of www.techcrunch.com as I am, you’ll know that the comments are always sometimes the very best part of the content. I would argue that most of the time they are even better. That’s no dig on TC, but rather a compliment to the community they have enabled over there. So when a story breaks on TC that I am interested in, I follow the comments, and the trackbacks, very closely. TC doesn’t have a “subscribe to comments”... Read More »
