  • All social media experts “are actually the same person,” Wikileaks documents reveal

    Candid documents released by Wikileaks on Tuesday have revealed all social media experts to actually be “the exact same individual,” the Guardian reported. “Paul from Miami,” as he is identified in Wikileaks documents, appears to be the source of an entire industry of Twitter experts who seemingly give the same advice and yet somehow all […]

  • An Introduction To Social Currency

    (Due credit: I first saw the phrase social currency on Aaron Wall’s blog, SEO Book, which is really worth a visit.) First, listen to the audio. That’s where the meat is. I don’t think it’s a secret that, over the past several months, my traffic has increased tremendously, and that my income has been increasingly […]

  • The Benefits of Human Sacrifice

    Human sacrifice doesn’t just appease the gods– it’s also what builds a community. Last year, when I came back from Japan, I had to fly in from Narita Airport in Tokyo straight to Toronto.

  • The Big Push

    So today is when it all begins. I’m sitting in the same breakfast place I sat in for the past year, writing the book, practically every day. Now, it’s finally available. It’s by far the longest single project we’ve worked on. To me, this is not a social media book. It’s a book about success, […]

  • 5 Books To Read Before Trust Agents

    So I was over at my family’s house yesterday, and decided to pass along the book we wrote to my dad. He was thinking about building a site and wanted my advice, so I figured we’d start there and see how it went. Over supper we started discussing a bunch of stuff and I started […]

  • More on Trust Agents

    So, Trust Agents. Since Chris came out earlier today to write about what our book would be called, I figured I would add some of my comments. I won’t speak for Chris here, since he’ll probably go into detail on his own, but here’s what the phrase means to me. 1. Trust agents deal in […]

  • The Brief Guide to Sucking at Life

    I will admit, I am not known for being sensitive. Yet, at the same time, I feel I’m one of the most optimistic people I know. I have faith in everyone. I don’t believe anyone is a loser. I don’t believe anyone is incapable. It’s born into me. I can’t help it. Homeless people. Drug […]
