Customer Service Means Everything
How’s your customer service? If it’s bad, you’re probably not very successful. It means… everything to your business… and your brand. This video talks about my views on how good customer service is essential to your success. And I’m not just talking about “customers who buy stuff”. You may not sell anything. How you deal with people who read your blog, or who watch your videos, or who interact with your brand in any way…... 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.

Does Your Brand Have A Jingle?

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 »

You Have Ideas, Can You Spread Them?
Seth Godin has been a major influence on my marketing. The guy gets it, on many levels. I was just reading one of my favorite sites at Robin Good’s MasterNewMedia.org, where he features some advice from Seth. Can you get your ideas to spread or not? He asks. With people having less and less time available while products, services and choices keep increasing in number, the typical choice is to ignore ordinary stuff. People want something special. Something that stands... Read More »
Blogrush Proves A Brilliant Marketing Effort Will Always Win
This whole Blogrush situation just fascinates me, and I’m sorry to keep blogging about it, but I LOVE good marketing and buzz, and John Reese and Blogrush deliver. Case in point, what we’re seeing now is the sliding scale of backlash coming back about the product. Particularly, we’re seeing the guys who have had traffic exchanges for years come out of the woodwork saying stuff like “I did it already, and you just copied it, etc…” Check... Read More »
Smart Opportunity Marketing - The Hillary Nutcracker

Plus, the video of course. Best graphic on the page? See below. Read More →
Are You Working Too Hard?
Seth Godin nails it yet again in this piece on Labor Day about what else? Work. Read the whole thing, but in particular, read this paragraph over and over because it’s dead on. Hard work is about risk. It begins when you deal with the things that you’d rather not deal with: fear of failure, fear of standing out, fear of rejection. Hard work is about training yourself to leap over this barrier, tunnel under that barrier, drive through the other barrier. And, after... Read More »
Would You Buy A Bag O’ Crap?
I don’t know about you, but I’m all over this promotion from Woot.com to buy a bag o’ crap. This kind of stuff just totally makes my day. It’s like my own site I made called: http://www.completeripoff.com/. Fun. Bag O’ Crap XXI Wait, wait, why are you clicking that button? Don’t click! You don’t want this junk. Seriously, clicking that I WANT ONE button is a one-way ticket to disappointment and shame. You’ll cram a few useless... Read More »
Want To Be Famous? Get Attention!
I’m not sure if “being famous” is really measured on if you get on the Tonight Show (which is one of his goals), but leaving that flaw aside, this guy has the right idea.
