This week’s links are pretty darn useful if I do say so myself. If you especially like any of them, let me know in the comments and by all means, please share this post with your friends!
- Out-teach the competition – Training, education, teaching, whatever you want to call it, you can also call it something else: selling without seeming to sell. Great video of David Heinemeier Hansson from 37Signals on how they used “teachable moments” to grow sales.
- Can Entrepreneurs be Made? – Apparently, the answer is yes. Fascinating article goes into what motivates entrepreneurs and why the myth of the “born” entrepreneur are all wrong.
- Keyword Research: Beyond the Ordinary – Lisa Barone blogging a presentation on keyword research from the SMX conference. Lotta good ideas in here.
- SEO Quake for Firefox or Google Chrome – One of the tools I recommend in WordPress SEO Secrets is SEO Quake as a Firefox add-on. That was when Chrome was barely off the ground. If you’re not using Google Chrome as your main browser, you should seriously consider it (holy shit it’s fast and has great features). Now that you can get extensions for it, Chrome is giving Firefox a run for its money. And if you want to do some serious SEO sleuthing, SEO Quake is a great tool to have.
- 7 Insanely Useful Ways To Search Twitter For Marketing – This is a goldmine. Enjoy!
- Random Thoughts on Being an Entrepreneur – I did something with this post I almost never ever do: I printed it out and put it up on my bulletin board. It’s that good (look for my review of Hugh’s book coming soon).
- 31 Ways to Grow a Business – You could easily triple your sales with the information in this post. Not kidding.
