Posting pictures to my blog from my ipad has been a frustrating
experience so far.

Posting pictures to the blog - iPad only experiment
Discovery - Pics to my blog - iPad only experiment
OK iPad haters...I found out how to take a picture from my device to
my blog. I know that might be easy on a desktop or laptop but it took
some figuring out. So here's what I did. Please tell me if there's
anything you would do differently in your situation. (taking a cell
phone pic and putting it into WordPress post)

Size matters so sometimes keep it short.
Some of the best blog posts are also the shortest because they make one simple point that you can remember and then apply to help your business. Hopefully you can remember and then apply that.

Types of advertising - Part #1 - I'm not an idiot so stop talking to me like I am.
The newspaper tried to interrupt my reading by using a full page advertisement but it takes me about 1 second to turn the page and avoid the ad. That was their business model. It doesn't work anymore because well, I don't get the paper. I can get all that news on their web site. Now they interrupt me with sliding banner ads that cover the content on their web page so I switched to get the RSS feed of the same stories.
2. Don't try to talk about price so much. I'll pay more if you're more human.

Be more like a pawn shop...
- Good economy = more people buy
- Bad economy = more people sell
- Great margins
- Both sides (seller/buyer) like you
- Low overhead
- You can be human and flex on prices...everyone loves a great deal
- You can give your customers what they want
- Relationships matter

Girls Scouts and Used Cars
one second pause...
"College prices are ridiculous! Send a girl scout to college!"
"Stop feeling guilty, just buy a box!"
"Supply and demand at it's finest. Cookies only available for two weeks. Buy some cookies!" You get the idea.
- Tell the truth when you talk about your product.
- Talk about feelings that we all know are real.
