Watch Me Dance & Learn How To Make $50
Check out my fly dance moves in the video below. You just got served? Not quite. Anyway, the video is fun, and more importantly, the message is funner. Shawn and Missy own a site called WeViews.tv where they review products on video. I did a few video reviews for them and they’re looking for more. Even better, they’re paying $50 for a review. That is one awesome deal. So look around your house for stuff you have and get reviewing for some cold hard cash! By the... Read More »

Why I Blog?
Darren Rowse, you know, the Problogger, put up a video challenge for everyone to say “why you blog?” So I did. The video below is my response. So why do I blog? Well, I started blogging in August 2001 because a friend (Josh) showed me what it was, and I realized that I could publish my thoughts to the world without an editor/gatekeeper. It was an outlet for me, and being a creative person, it just felt darn good. Over time I’ve moved from blogging about... Read More »
My Post-It Note Story, Attention = Success
The video below is all about getting attention to create opportunity, or revenue, or whatever it is that you’re looking to do. It’s a story about how I used a stack of yellow post-it notes to get offered a job. You should appreciate the middle part of this video where I post the notes all over my face for comedy effect. The point is… you can get a lot in this world if you can get someone’s attention. Anyone can do it. You just have to not be afraid... Read More »
Never Price Yourself Too Low
One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in the past was pricing myself and my services too low. Whether that was for a consulting or speaking gig, I’ve always found that I get more gigs when I price higher. The video below talks all about my experiences in pricing myself and my services. Just remember that perception equals reality. When you send in low prices, the perception is that “he/she might not be worth it” or, “they’re prices are... Read More »
I Answer Every Email I Get, Do You?
I answer every email I get. Mostly. What I mean is, every real email I get from a real person with a real request… gets answered. It may take me a week or longer to get to it, but I get to it. Today’s video (below) is all about email overload and your brand. Bottom line is, if you are going to put yourself out there and ask people to email you, you’re going to have to make sure you answer those emails. If you don’t, your brand is going to suffer. Be...

Dear Social Media, Help Me Stop Smoking?
Help me stop smoking? I’m off the smokes for over a month now. I had quit over a year ago for about 3 years, but last year I got back on them due to some family stress (excuses, I know). I was only having a few a day, but nonetheless, it was still smoking. So now I’m back off them and I want to stay off. But I’m now hitting some type of wall where the cravings are coming on very strong. Watch the video below to help me stop smoking. It’s your fault... Read More »
Your Marketing & Sales Team Sucks
A bit of a rant today on the Daily Flip. Going all Feldman on ya. Basically, your marketing sucks, and your sales team too. Especially ad networks. Watch the video below to get my entire case. I’m nicer in the video I think. Honestly though, I have to call you all out for bad marketing and even worse sales. Who in the ad network space besides one or two is actually doing anything innovative and attention-getting (booth babes do not count). Just a handful of you. The... Read More »
Online Advertising Tips - Interview
Happy Friday everyone. Yesterday’s video about why you fail was a big hit. I’m thinking that I’ll do more motivational stuff like that in the future. Today, however, I’ve got a guest interview. If you’re at all into the business of online advertising, or “making money online”, like I am, you should watch this video interview (below) with Michael Buechele of 11|15 Media. We talk about how to find a niche and where to look for industry... Read More »
Give & You Shall Receive
We interrupt the Daily Flip to bring you a video you have to watch. Gary Vaynerchuk, the Wine guy, talks a little business/life strategy. It’s pretty obvious that I’m crushing, in a totally marketing geek non sexual way, on Gary these days. I mean, I even wrote I wanted to be him months and months ago. You know I love you man, in a normal non freaky way, Ha. What can I say, the guy has it down, across the board. Watch this video peeps. Gary’s giving school... Read More »
You Fail Because You’re Scared
This post is not about you, or is it? I filmed this video (below) because I know what I’m talking about. I’ve been there. I’ve been too scared to try new marketing tactics. Too scared to start new businesses. In general, too scared to win and be successful. But I got over it. When you’re scared to win, you fail. If you take anything away from what I say in this video, I hope it’s that you realize that failure is going to happen. It happens to... Read More »
Make Money Online As An Expert - The Publisher Model
If you want to make money online as a publisher, then one of the best ways to do it is to build a “ask the expert” site. In today’s Daily Flip (video below) I talk about why ask the expert sites work, and how they make money. I also give examples of expert sites you can visit to learn how it’s done. In the video below I reference a presentation (Good to Great, Blogging & Profit Potential) I did that talks about how to make money online. You can... Read More »
Does Your Brand Have A Jingle?
Watch video below to see the world premier of my new Daily Flip jingle! I’ve always wanted a cheesy jingle. You know, like the ones you see on late night TV from the used car salesman in your town? Or the windows/garage door/plumber, etc…? You know what I’m talking about. They produce these seemingly low-quality, yet, extremely catchy jingles that they run on radio and TV over, and over, and over… Until it’s hammered into your brain. Hey, it... Read More »
Vanity Search Tips
Every day I go on the Internet and perform vanity searches on my name, or my brands, or my competitor’s names. Why? Because I like to see what people are saying about me and my stuff, and I also like to keep up with what people are saying about my competitors and the things I like. This is called vanity searching. The video below talks about the ways I do vanity searches, and more about why should be doing the same. At the end of the day, regardless of who you are,... Read More »
My New Headset, YouTube Tips & Geek Podcasts
Here’s another “long form” Daily Flip video. The first one, “What’s your passion?” got some good reviews, so I figured I’d try another one. However, this one is a bit shorter and has more of a set focus. I picked three topics for this show. Those are… 1. My new Sennheiser headset I bought from Amazon.com. 2. How I use YouTube to get tips about using software and learning things. 3. My involvement with Geekcast.fm, a site that... Read More »

What’s Your Passion?
Trying out a new format here on the Daily Flip. Today’s video is about 15 minutes in length, and has no script. It’s just me free flowing thoughts about all kinds of things related to me and the world in which I work in. You can find a summary of those thoughts and show mentions below the video. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think? Watchable? Hate it? Love it? Want to see more or less of something? Subscribe to my email update list. No... Read More »
