You can choose to be an inventor. Just don’t expect that everything you invent is going to turn out to be a big hit. In fact, expect this: out of 10 of your inventions, consider yourself extremely lucky to have 1 successful one. You can choose to be a follower. Just don’t expect [...] May 30th, 2009 |
So you are laid off, and with the economy the way it is, finding a new job seems to be taking longer than you’d hoped, and you are bored. I have come up with a list of free activities (besides job hunting) you could do with your new found free time: - Start using an RSS reader. May 29th, 2009 |
Your first job at online marketing isn’t to grab the attention of anyone who doesn’t know about you. Instead, it is to make sure that for the ones who are looking for your solution(but don’t know your company name or website address), they will be able to find you.

If I was asked to sum all the Internet problems into one word, it would be accountability, or lack thereof. Let me give you three examples: Example 1: Take Robert’s Cash Blog I posted last week, they appear to be a happy family who is eager to share their money-making secrets to the world. Now if Robert’s [...] May 26th, 2009 |
So YouTube is doomed to lose half a billion dollars in 2009; Twitter can’t monetize anything; and Facebook has a business model of “getting hundreds and hundreds of million of people who don’t bring any advertising with them at all”. The problem, though, is even when the “new thing” fails, people are not going back to [...] May 25th, 2009 |

This one probably won’t be picked, but I am sharing it with you anyway. Gregg Valentino, whose biceps are 10 times as big as Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, is remarkable. After years of experimenting with countless forms of steroids, Gregg’s arms grew from an impressive natural 21″ to an unhuman-like 28″. Today, [...] May 23rd, 2009 |
A while ago, I sent in a “Purple Cow” paragraph for the new trim size edition of the book Purple Cow coming this fall. Today, I found the paragraph gets a mention on Seth Godin’s Blog. Here it is: Two things are guaranteed at the remarkable DinTaiFung restaurant in Taipei: the extremely long line outside and [...] May 22nd, 2009 |
The official word on Windows 7 is that it’s coming out this December. I think instead of running a lot of ads, Microsoft ought to try something different: - Include a free “early release” version of Windows 7 in every copy of Windows Vista sold three weeks before the actual release date. - Google the phrases “Windows [...] May 21st, 2009 |

What do you do when 1 out of the 78 passengers on a flight was late for 15 minutes, and it was the last flight of the day? Do you wait for him — the 77 on time passengers probably won’t care that much, but you might have an opportunity to impress that late [...] May 19th, 2009 |
If you don’t want to read the whole article, here is a basic rundown: Rupert Murdoch expects to start charging for access to News Corporation’s newspaper websites within a year as he strives to fix a ”malfunctioning” business model. I see two possible scenarios: All News providers online adapts this model. In this scenario, we would have [...] May 18th, 2009 |
Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity? – TED 2006 Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. Teacher: “What are you drawing?” Did [...] May 17th, 2009 |
I am often puzzled by the fact that companies tend to spend tons and tons of money doing “marketing”, and when they finally got me to their website, there is nothing remarkable about it. As I pointed out here, getting traffic is the easy part; chances are, you can spend less money than you [...] May 16th, 2009 |
The cost of writing a blog post should be equal to the cost of printing an article in the New York Times. May 15th, 2009 |
Here is the new slogan you should consider: Don’t start an online business; start an online “thingy”. Business is complicated. It involves careful planning, risk taking, and a lot of financial burden. Plus, it’s boring. A thingy, on the hand, is small and fun! There is no pressure even if it doesn’t work out; heck, you can [...] May 14th, 2009 |

Today, NYtimes.com ran an ad titled “Today is so yesterday”, and they showed a picture of the frontpage of the New York Times in the year 2040. Assuming that the Times is still around in 30 years, this is the picture which they have painted for themselves. First of all, I am amazed that [...] May 12th, 2009 |
We have always had a standard for evaluating customer satisfaction, and that standard is: if the customers are happy, they are quiet.
