    Quick Lesson: Innovation doesn't always pay off

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I started my company which the name doesn't matter, 2 years ago. It's now successful by normal peoples standards but I've always wanted something "big". For me it's not about financial freedom, I want to be a great. With that being said, the market and product I created just isn't big enough...

    Stop using fairy dust as your validation

    RANT 
    The most common thing I see in any entrepreneurship community is: "Create a landing page and get signups" Like this is some form of validation. Any half decent marketer should be able to create a landing page with a magic product that attracts people to signup. Give me any niche and any idea...

    Your idea is probably good enough

    IDEA 
    I used to put really high value on the idea itself because it seems like if you build something that's a great idea it should just explode. What I've come to realize (which may or may not be true) is that it's really not about the idea at all. Most peoples ideas are actually pretty good. Where...

    IDEA 
    http://blog.thinkapps.com/entrepreneurship/getaround-grew-impossible-idea-200000-members/ Everyone told him from the start the idea was 'impossible' and stupid. He went forward anyway and proved everyone wrong.

    Out reach is hugely important for your marketing

    MARKETING 
    I used to think of outreach as just a way to hopefully get a guest post in on a high ranking site, or even better if I could just get a link and do zero work while getting all the SEO benefits. EVEN better if I can automate this somehow :) Then I started taking out reach seriously and i'm now...

    I shouldn't be telling you this but, i'm going to anyway.

    MARKETING 
    I have seen that Facebook video everywhere including this forum about how it has fake paid likes and traffic. I use Facebook ads all the time and have nothing but good experience with it.

    Let's talk about partnerships / co-founders

    PEOPLE

    This single idea changed my view on facebook completely

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Once someone fans your page, they are YOURS. I used to think about Facebook as a way to send users to your site and potentially convert them there ASAP. What i've learned: They are now YOUR fans. Your goal should be to getting them to fall in love with your brand and delivering true value in...
