I’m not talking about acai, crush, or consumer scams. This post is about how to avoid the most common form of business failure. The moral of the story- “In God we trust… All others pay cash.” A designer I know is a nice fellow. Great design skills, and great intentions. Yet we paid him $6,000 […]

We’ve been testing Google Template Center since November 2008. As you would imagine, if you want to multiply clones off a master template, this is the tool for you. You can create a master and then copy it over multiple times. So let’s say that you have a Denver laser surgeon and based on the

We’ve spent the last 4 months porting our Google campaigns over to Facebook. Just like with AdWords, where you pay for clicks, but not impressions– one trick is to place your phone number in the ad. Some proportion of folks will call the number right from the ad, which gives you a free lead. What

We fire a lot of people in our company. I’ve noticed that those who have risked to most to join us are the ones most likely to succeed. Ironic, since you’d think that people who take the “safe” route– work part-time to hold their current job or not move out to Colorado– have less risk.

Billed as “free for affiliates”, many said that the event wouldn’t happen, wouldn’t attract high-quality affiliates, and couldn’t secure a sponsor. Even Larby Amirouche was considering whether or not he was going to come. But when 10 of

3 million users took their names last Friday in Facebook’s vanity url rush. But even bigger than that is grabbing the vanity URLs for your fan page(s), which opens up on June 28th. If you have at least 1,000 fans by May 31st, then you can grab them now. Likewise, if you’re a journalist or

Golf-ball sized hail is coming down right now in Boulder– our yard looks like a driving range littered with hail chunks. As an internet marketer, instead of hearing hail pelting our windows, I hear clicks from people typing in “Denver hail damage”, as they need new roofs and car repairs. Shall we say there is

The Space Needle is flooded in Orange light tonight, the color of Bing. A giant searchlight, reminding me of the Luxor, shone straight up the air for which the Microsoft spokesperson told me that they had to get a FAA permit to do. We saw helicopters circling the Space Needle to capture the epic moment

If you don’t know what SmartLipo Denver means as a search term, then you’re likely not a 40-year-old female who wants to look a little better but is concerned about the effects of traditional liposuction– the potential scarring, cost, and downtime. Ok– enough shilling. There are a few cosmetic surgeons in Denver, though I can
