One of the things I love about the blogging community is how there’s such a diversity of approaches being tried by successful bloggers in their pursuits. Take for instance two well known bloggers - Timothy Ferriss and Gary Vaynerchuk. Both take different approaches but both have been very successful in building strong online presence. Timothy is famous for his book The 4-Hour Workweek a book looking at the simplification of life, outsourcing and focusing upon ...

From the Forbes 400 list, the following are the billionaires who made their money on businesses whose products are primarily free to consumers: (Note: I didn't include diversified media tycoons, such as Rupert Murdoch and Barry Diller, even though much of their business is free-to-air broadcast and web media. That's because it's too hard to separate the free bits from their pay-media businesses, or to say which is bigger.) #13 Sergey Brin $15.9 billion, Google ...

Some web companies today are now offering “video marketing campaigns” by repurposing stock video or video templates, and then promising their customers that these videos will get them lots of traffic and customers in the search engines. While these offerings are enticing to many companies looking for a low budget entry point, they are wholly unsuccessful from an online performance standpoint of bring new traffic. This ends up not only creating unrealistic (and unachievable) expectations ...

Weddings aren’t all faith, love and happiness. There’s usually a bit of abject terror mixed in and something - be it the bridesmaid’s dresses, the flowers or the dj - from hell itself. Case in point: A rivalry between two wedding podcasters has devolved into a battle to the death - at least for one of the podcasts. In 2006, New Jersey wedding videographer Robert Ehrlich and his wife started a podcast, creating a website ...

Most of us walk through life with an average memory, remembering for the most part the things that we should and glossing over the rest...or allowing our smart phones to be the safety net. While the Internet is now often blamed for our shoddy memories (who needs to remember anything when you can just Google it?), the Internet's memory system actually mimics the human brain. So-called "caching" technology for example, replicates short term memory, temporarily ...

The best advice any location mixer and post sound mixer can give to directors is simple: listen. Stop and listen to the set, listen to the room, listen to the exterior and listen critically. If you hear traffic, you’ll record traffic. If you hear hums or A/C you’ll record hum and A/C. Sounds logical but often, in the haste to “get the shot” no one is listening – to the rooms or the recordist. As ...
