Twitter Fan Seekers

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:34:21 +0000

By writing this there’s a chance I will offend a few people. Like everything else, there are many different ways of categorizing types of users on Twitter. One way is to examine how they view followers. There are basically two broad approaches (and within each some variations, but I’ll now focus on the big picture). First, there are [...]

Seven Reasons Why Twitter Hash Tags Benefit Conferences

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:45:03 +0000

Bringing a laptop to a conference is a pretty good idea. Not only it helps summarize notes – I type much faster than I write – but you can also email these notes, share them, post them online, etc. These days it seems every conference – even small ones – have a Twitter Hash tag (and [...]

How More Traffic Could’ve Made All the Difference

I haven’t blogged in a while. Some people have asked me whether I decided to quit blogging. “Of course not” I responded “I’m just too busy”. Which is true (as I briefly elaborated in my last post). The frustrating thing is that, as mentioned before, I already have three posts just waiting to be finalized and [...]

Personal Thrashing

admin — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:02:34 +0000

I want to invent a term that’s probably already been invented: Personal Thrashing (so please correct me if you know a better term). I came back from Affiliate Summit last week. It took me two days just to respond to all the emails that have accumulated, one day to do (most) of the follow-up emails, and [...]

Affiliate Summit West, Here I Come!

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 07:42:24 +0000

List of things to do before I leave: Bags & everything else – not yet. Last moment. Business cards and Poken – check. Notepad for taking notes – check. Last time I relied on my memory for names which is really good. I did remember everyone when I glimpsed at their business cards. But not 4 weeks later. [...]

How I Became a Cool Boy Thanks to Poken

Tomorrow I’m leaving to Affiliate Summit West. I’ve been to Affiliate Summit East (ASE: read about it here), but never been to the Vegas version. Before ASE, a friend told me to bring 200-500 business cards as I will be needing them. I did, and he was right. I also got roughly this number from people [...]

Twitter: The Fourth Milestone

admin — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:43:23 +0000

In this post I continue my earlier discussion of Twitter Milestones: the idea that the Twitter experience changes once you reach a certain number of followers. This post was practically written a month and a half ago. I’ve just been so busy I did not have time to properly edit it. As you might have read [...]

Welcome to 2010! This isn’t a real post though. I just wanted to share that I launched my new company site and I love it. If you want to check it out, please visit: the U Labs website. Hey, every now and then I can share something because I want to, don’t I? Mail this post [...]

Some Lessons I Learned in 2009

admin — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:19:42 +0000

Originally I intended to write a summary of “my 2009″. But after reevaluating this, I decided to make it shorter.. or better phrased, easier to digest. Just share some of the lessons I learned this year. I’m mixing both the personal and the professional here, though items are generally grouped together. Overall, 2009 was a great [...]
