    HOT! 
    So, one thing I forgot to put in here is that there are really 2 major channels that you have with your initial offering as you work to build some awareness about your brand. The first, most obvious, and most difficult to develop is an online presence with your targeted niche segment. I say...

    The Process of Creating A Real Product

    HOT! 
    I totally agree man, when you look at brands like Burts Bees or Tom's of Maine and see how much they were bought out for by companies like Clorox and P&G it makes it easy to get interested in something like this. Especially if you have any kind of interest in Marketing or Business. Most people...

    The *New* Endangered Species... Your Job.

    HOT! 
    That is wild. It makes total sense, but the idea of there no longer being any need for the human element on the producing side of the economy is mind-bending.

    EXECUTION 
    I don't buy the "SEO is dead" line Its just another tool. The day that you are no longer able to influence your rank on a search engine for a term is the day SEO is dead. My site was originally fueled by SM traffic, but after checking my analytics recently the majority of visitors are now...
