I’m a Web geek. I’m super busy. I stopped golfing about 4-years ago because well, I was too busy. I’m still too busy.

But I’ve found this great little par 3 course just outside of downtown Cleveland (Fleet Ave. off 77) that I can play 9 holes in less than two hours.

So I’m going to start golfing again. Want to join me? There’s no commitment, just show up if you want to play. No tee times needed either.

Check this page for the time we are playing, it might change.

For now, we’ll be playing as the Washington Golf Learning Center at 9:45 every Wednesday morning.

Washington Reservation
3841 Washington Park Blvd.
Village of Newburgh Heights, Ohio 44105
(216) 641-1864

The first day we will start playing is Wed, April 15. Cya there.

Oh, and you don’t have to be on Twitter either, just show up.

A few weeks ago I asked you to shout out your color of your Flip camera in video or picture format on Flickr. By the way, you can still do this so c’mon and have some fun!

Here’s some video responses by a few people that got in on the fun. First is a video from the gang at Marketleverage. Second is a video from Missy Ward, and third is from Shawn Collins.

Check out the live Flickr stream for all the videos and photos.

Hate your job? Dread going to work every day? If so, you’re not having fun.

Do you have fun in life and in your work? I do, every… single… day. I make “fun” a priority. Look at the projects I work on (AwesomeMillion.com, BigBrownBox.com, TwitterMeThis.com, to name a few). Most of them are built around fun first. It’s by design, believe me. Life is too short to work on stuff that isn’t fun.

YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN HAVE FUN AND EARN A LIVING IF DONE RIGHT! Right now, get a piece of paper and write down what would be fun to do every day. Then the plan is to figure out how to do it.

It can be done. I’m doing it. I start every project with fun as the first factor. You should try it. Watch the video below for some inspiration. Want to share you video about your fun project? Send it over to me, or leave a comment below.

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 and I’m in the front row, you should be too. Join the verygreenteam too.

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 works.

So, the other day on Twitter (add me) I said I wanted a jingle, and someone responded and said they could help me find someone to do it. Two hours later I have a jingle for the Daily Flip, and I love it. Twitter is kicking butt for me these days. Great news, because I quit it last fall, now I’m back and loving it, for now. So, does your brand have a jingle? It should?

Oh yeah, If you think you can make a better jingle than the one in my video, go ahead and send it to me. I’ll feature it on the show. For now though, watch the video below and enjoy my new jingle.

I’m bringing back a few videos from waaaaayyy back in the day. August 2006 to be exact. We did these videos on Awesome Dave’s Mac. It was my first exposure to creating online videos and I realize now that these videos are a huge reason I pursued moving to video. So much fun.

So what is this all about? Me and my buddy Dave created the Awesome Million, where anyone, or anything, can become really awesome! It’s free, so go get yourself awesome today!

By the way, check out my Awesome page.

Here’s our quick intro video of what it’s all about.

Here’s a longer video talking more about it.

And here’s a wacky video of us seeing who can eat a stack of crackers the fastest.

Here’s one of us dancing like idiots with Billy Bob teeth.

What are you waiting for? Make yourself or a friend really awesome right now, for free!

Thanks to Sam for the link. Have Holidays!

This is the follow up to this brilliant video.

Shoemoney wrote up a short review of my system ScratchBack.com where he said…

I think its a good looking widget that has a lot of potential. While its low risk to make something that is “fun” not many people are going to take it seriously.

I will fully admit that I built ScratchBack as a “fun” tool, with benefits. I’m being totally honest, it was NOT built as a “making money online” tool. Let me tell you why.

I’ve said this a million times. Tim Carter taught me this. People come to the Internet for two reasons…

1. To solve a problem.

2. To have fun.

Think about it. EVERY action you take online falls into one of those buckets. Really think about it.

Those two ideas have driven my decisions on how to blog, what businesses to create, what kind of videos to make, etc… I ask myself those two questions before I do anything.

ScratchBack, in my opinion, does both. But let’s get back to fun. Fun is HIGHLY overrated. Sure, fun may not be practical in the “making money online” world, but you know what? I don’t care, why, because it’s fun!

Sure, I want ScratchBack to be successful, and I chose to position the marketing of it as “fun” as opposed to “getting rich” because I truly believe that there is only so far you can go down the long-tail by pushing “get rich” stuff.

I have this argument all the time. In the grand scheme of things, the “making money online” community is about .00000001111% of bloggers/publishers. The other 99.9999999999999% of the blogs out there are niche-topic bloggers who just write. They don’t worry about making money online.

That’s why nobody has been able to reach them and get them yet, because all the online ad solutions out there are all pitching them how to get rich.

I think they’ll buy into fun easier.

Forget traffic. Forget “getting rich off of ads”. Forget “making money online”.

Fun is the key to cracking the long-tail.
