1. Why is 7-11 not in the McDonalds/Stabucks/Dunkin race? They offer something the other three do not: make-your-own cup of coffee! 2. If you're going to podcast, do a video podcast then extract the audio and make an audio podcast. Make sure your ads fit both mediums. Good Video-to-Audio Podcasts: -Buzz Out Loud -Cranky Geeks -Diggnation Bad Video-to-Audio Podcasts -DL.tv 3. Turn a live performance into a dvd to make more money. My own example. Working the Hannah Montana model for yourself. Creativitity.com Podcast on Itunes Podcast RSS Blog Blog RSS Mark Baratelli: MarkBaratelli.com Facebook Myspace Twitter Linkedin

Blogger asks questions to help you improve your blog design. One: What is the purpose of your blog? He says he wants to share knowledge, but he actually wants to brand himself and get work. Be honest. I describe how Mindcomet.com's blog came into existence and describe the early days of their wiki. (Mindcomet is a former employer of mine and the former President is now Pres/CEO if IZEA and PayPerPost) Creativitity.com Podcast on Itunes Podcast RSS Blog Blog RSS Mark Baratelli: MarkBaratelli.com Facebook Myspace Twitter Linkedin

Don't subscribe to my blog. Google Reader takes blog posts out of context and doesn't show the blog's design (which as a blogger I don't like because I want you to see my design), but I prefer reading blogs in it (as a blogger who needs to read several blogs a day). RecordStoreDay.com supports businesses who don't provide the best service for their customers. Me appearing on others' podcasts is fun but get me nothing. How can you sell podcasting to a puppet festival? Not by giving them work samples in a medium they cannot access and too many work samples. How do you introduce your content to someone who's never read/heard it? Your latest post/episode is your calling card. Sometimes good posts get buried under newer/blander posts.

Found a job opportunity that is half-perfect for me: a social media manager in Kentucky. Half of what is listed, I can do. Is SEO really under Social Media? I'm not applying. My stuff online is a mess. Creativitity.com: Podcast on Itunes Podcast RSS Blog Blog RSS Mark Baratelli: MarkBaratelli.com Facebook Myspace Twitter Linkedin

Sidekick vs Laptop: I use the internet differently on my phone than on my laptop. On my phone, a Sidekick 3, I follow Twitter, upload photos to flickr, add posts to my myspace blog and chat on IM. With Twitter, when I'm bored, I'll check it. I get excited and think "Oh boy, I can't wait to get home and explore these links I've been finding on Twitter!" Then I get home to my laptop, where I've got photos, Perez Hilton, myspace, video to distract me. I'll sit down to research those links I found on my phone through twitter and get distracted easily. I can focus on the business things on my phone better than on my laptop. Anyone going through that? The lesson: stop going to those time-wasitng sites. Popular photo on Flickr: A photo of a plaque in my flickr account taken in Wickenburg, Arizona, featuring the name "Captain Canada" got over 100 views and 10 comments (unreal for my Flickr account). Lesson: (1) You never know whats going to be popular. (2) I need to tag all my photos. Bad: Six Pixels of Separations is an awful podcast that is CLEARLY a self-marketing tool. I do not recommend it. He reminds me of Joseph Jaffe Good: EXCELLENT episode of TWiT: The Innovator's Dilemma. Steve Gilmor said Twitter is the way he gets his news now. I agree! So refreshing to hear someone say that.
