Respond to people. It's easy, but you might be surprised at how few people do it. A simple response could be the difference between earning a life-long fan or alienating someone forever. Don't ever let an email or voicemail go unanswered.
I pay AT&T way more than I should for simple home phone service. WAY more. Yes, it was worth it at one point in time, but there are just so many (often better) options these days at a fraction of the price. So, since Comcast (NasdaqGS: CMCSA) has always performed very well for me for both TV and Internet for many, many years now (and because I've heard really good things about their phone service), I decided to look at ...

I was an Internet Marketing consultant for several years -- including 2.5 years full-time while my first website was still getting off the ground -- and I still do pro bono consulting from time to time just to meet new people and be exposed to new industries. Virtually all the sites I've worked with have been U.S. sites that marketed nationwide, but I've worked with a handful who were only interested in marketing locally. Here's what I've learned with ...

Lyndon had a terrific post Sunday on how to link bait. You probably saw it if you're subscribed to his blog, and if you're not, you should be.
Startups in 13 Sentences is one of the best things I've ever read. Simple truths about starting and running your own business that nonetheless are difficult to learn and to remember once you know them. Well worth printing out and posting on your wall.
It hits me constantly just how many free apps I use that I would find it hard to do without and how many of them it took me so long to find out about, so I wanted to share. Yes, I know. All the cool kids use Gmail. I use both, but I still much prefer Yahoo! Mail. Maybe it's the more traditional method of replying to emails ... Keep reading »
Last September, I wrote about how important it was to focus when you found something that was working for you -- and what a constant challenge it was for me to do that. Well, it's still a challenge (and probably always will be) but I'm doing much better I think. Part of that is recognizing when a project is an outlier and will take a disproportionate amount of time and effort to be a success compared with other projects that ... Keep reading »
Congratulations to Peter Kimmich from TryOurLA.com, the winner of the $10,000 Business Boost contest! I was floored by how many truly worthy submissions we received. There were international submissions, funny submissions and submissions from site owners whose topic really stunk -- literally. And the sites ran the gamut from glimmers in the eye to businesses that could see the finish line of being able to cash out in a very big way. There are so many very talented, ... Keep reading »
