    The only downfall I see is that everybody's personal experiences will lead them to different outcomes and different solutions. If I was trying to be the "funniest man in the world" and I asked a youtuber how to make it happen, they'd tell me to make funny videos. If I asked a stand-up comedian...

    Decisions??!!

    MINDSET 
    Everybody has plans like this. It makes logical sense to start one thing until you don't have to worry about (time/money/resources/whatever) and then go for the second thing. You're operating off incorrect assumptions. Each road has troubles of the same degree of difficulty. starting your...

    Forget HARO.. This is the ultimate way to get PR

    MARKETING 
    For Lifehack, I haven't been there long enough to have even submitted anything original. I'm following their rules and suggestions until I feel confident in producing my own content that I know will help their brand. For other sites though, I've never been outright rejected after the pitch but...

    Forget HARO.. This is the ultimate way to get PR

    MARKETING 
    Quick clarification: I'm writing for lifehack. LifehackER on the other hand is a completely different site with more like 13m unique followers (as opposed to lifehack's 4m). And I started writing for Infobarrel. You don't need any previous experience to write with them, you can write on any...

    If you can get the 15K in preorders or advanced funding you don't need to raise anything, you down' owe anybody anything, you don't have to worry about giving up equity or debt

    Forget HARO.. This is the ultimate way to get PR

    MARKETING 
    Whenever I write about a brand I'm associated with I don't explicitely mention it, but a simple google search will obviously show any friendships or affiliations. I did link to the site here on a public forum and mention my evil plan, after all. Most sites that accept user submitted content...

    Forget HARO.. This is the ultimate way to get PR

    MARKETING 
    You can probably get anybody to write about anything, if you know how to 'frame it' the right way. Lets say there's a major story you want featured in a major blog. Your best course of action is to find some sort of twist or unique angle. You need to find a way that the story would make the...

    Forget HARO.. This is the ultimate way to get PR

    MARKETING 
    If you're looking to get your product or brand in front of thousands of people... getting featured on a big blog is a pretty good deal. You're not only exposed to customers, but you're also exposed to other blog writers and you can experience a title-wave. So, how do you get featured in a...

    Need advice :)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Why would the end USER want to use it though? The main reason I'd want to aggregate content is if it eventually lead to more $ in my own pocket. Otherwise it's pointless. You need to find the actual value it brings other than "It's a friend's and it's pretty cool"

    (First Post) What are your attitudes towards social media?

    MARKETING MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I don't get to SEE many of my friends because I'm always working on my biz, so it's my little social escape when I need it (maybe 20 mins a day total?) It's a tool to keep in touch with my buddies, the same as email or cell phones or whatever. Honestly, I don't even see how it can be a problem...

    "Teach me everything you know once you're rich"

    I'm very proud of both my brothers. They do the learning and reading for themselves, only asking questions about which direction they should be pointed in or where to start. Then they go out and do it. I'm very pleased with them. We both turned out COMPLETELY different than our parents.

    This is a little piece of advice I used to give my film school peers. Talking about your projects = losing fire. I's better to not tell anybody, and just wait and SHOW them. Good stuff

    Ever wish you could use a time machine to communicate with yourself in the past? Now you can!

    I love the analogy. When you think about it like this, it seems much more important.. especially for people who underestimate the value of a mentor. Also helps narrow the search... I'd love to follow the path of Chris Hardwick, Jay Adelson, Kevin Rose, or Felecia Day. Many of the people I aim...

    What was your first website?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The problem is, there ARE no answers to the questions. Personality, niche, topic, fanbase, work ethic, skillset... ALL these things alter specific strategy or tactical questions. One person might market from day1, another person might not. I've done it both ways. Because each business is...

    EXECUTION 
    The fictional book series I'm reading right now, the Dresden Files, talks a lot about how the human collective denies everything that doesn't fit their existing worldview. When presented with actual footage, photographs, descriptions, and experiences, humans find every hole to poke in it and try...
