YouTube could roll out paid subscriptions for select channels as early as this April
YouTube is about to launch a paid subscription model for a selection of channels on its video-sharing network, according to a report by AdAge. Sources “familiar with the plans” have told the publication that YouTube has already contacted a small number of content producers, and asked them to file applications for a new channel that viewers would need to pay a monthly subscription for. If true, the introduction of premium content would be a significant shift for the service, which has so far relied on pre-roll advertisments for revenue. Given that it’s owned by…
Are You an Entrepreneur–Or a “Wantrepreneur”? Find Out…
There are a lot of people running around these days calling themselves “entrepreneurs”. However, I’ve discovered a few fool-proof ways to quickly see the differences between successful entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs–or people who want to start a business, but who actually aren’t going to take action and create a real business. Here are five traits I’ve noticed in startup founders and entrepreneurs that don’t exist in “wantrepreneurs”: 1. A willingness to learn…
Obvious but Hard Lessons in Small Business Advertising
There are two kinds of small businesses: 1) Those with a very specific niche, but a nation-wide target market (e.g. taxidermy services for exotic animals). 2) Those with a broad enough scope, but a geographically limited market (e.g. an upscale bistro). As someone who has marketed businesses in each of these categories, the lessons in this piece apply far better to the latter category then the former. 1. Limit Advertising Efforts Geographically No matter how tempting it is to include a few extra zip codes when sending out flyers or to increase the geographic radius of a Google Adwords campaign, to…
Owning vs. renting
You don’t own attention or trust or shelf space. You don’t even own tomorrow’s plans. It’s all for rent, with a cancellation clause that can kick in at any time. The moment you start treating the rental like a right, it disappears.

I Own 100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollars!
I am the proud owner of 100 Trillion Zimbabwe dollars, actually that does make me a trillionaire, but I just wish they were US dollars instead. I love currency collecting and today exchanged a novel 100 trillion dollar currency note and its actually the highest value currency note ever produced for legal tender anywhere in the world. Its not fake and is a true collectible for currency collectors, but its not as valuable as you would expect. 100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollars It is actually the maximum number of 14 zeros you will ever see on a currency note – 100,000,000,000,000, much beyond a million or billion, but still lesser than Googol! How is this possible? The Zimbabwe Dollar story is…
Budgets and Diets Are a Waste of Time!
Budgets and diets are a waste of time! Most, if not all personal finance (PF) bloggers are probably surprised I would say that. A budget or diet is not the answer for overspending or overeating. If these things worked for everyone, there would be no debt or overweight people. A budget or diet is intended to help us reach a financial or personal goal. Do budgets or diets even work? I spent my entire career preparing budgets, five (5) year plans, strategic plans and business…

5 Lessons From a $213,000 Launch
Two weeks ago our little 3-person company launched a new video training platform and community for online business builders. The launch (which was actually iterated over 3.5 months) was a hit. We exceeded our expectations and brought in a nice chunk of revenue (which I’ll detail below). We also learned a lot, partly through experimentation, partly by talking with other entrepreneurs, and partly by reading everything we could about launching this kind of service online. I’ve been working online for a while now (Think Traffic will be three years old in March), but I still remember so clearly years ago wondering if I could really do it — if I could bootstrap a small business based around…

10 Ways to Save $100 This Week
This post is part of America Saves Week. Money is like a cake. When you get that delicious dessert, it can be tempting to eat it all at once. But if you do, you’ll end up with a stomachache, that sugarcoated feeling on your teeth, and perhaps most importantly — no cake for later. Similarly, if you spend all of your money, you’ll probably end up regretting your splurges — and wishing you had some funds sitting in the bank. Often, savings strategies are obvious — you set a big piece of cake aside, and it’s there waiting for…
