DEFINE YOURSELF !First, we have to do some homework. You want to show up in Google when people search for something, but what? You have to decide which search terms (keywords) are the best fit for what you do and if anybody out there is using them now. Don’t worry, it’s fun, and it may help you better define your business.1

CREATE CONTENT !This is the best way to get good results on any search engine, not just Google. You have to make sure your content matches visitor (and Google) expectations. Search engines want to deliver awesome stuff to their customers. If you want a solid ranking, you need to create something unique, trusted, and worthwhile. 2

MAKE FRIENDS !Become part of a larger community. You want people to link to your business and talk about what you do. To search engines a site or business being mentioned by a lot of others is a site or business that’s trusted and worth listing. Do people like you? Do they tweet about you? What can you offer to help make that happen?3

Here’s the deal: a lot of people freak out when they think about making good content for their website. They’ll be the first to tell you that they’re not a writer/artist/film-maker. I get it, your make pies or you’re a lawyer. You’re not a writer. You’re wrong. If I ask you to write a haiku about the moon, you can do it. Why? Because you have a template or a pattern to work from. !

How to Make the Perfect Pancake !

There are no excuses for making a bad pancake. This is the first cooking skill you

should graduate on to after microwave mac and cheese. I’m not going to spend

too much time going over recipes; most of you will end up making it from a box

anyway. The important thing here, is that the box you buy says “Pancake Batter”

on it somewhere. !

We’re not making brownies or cake. Got it? We’re making the next best thing.

We’re making flapjacks, mister. And they’re gonna be amazing.

!

1. Measure all of your ingredients carefully.

2. Leave the batter a little clumpy. 3. Get the pan nice and hot [you want water to dance].

Well, I got to tell ya that the first time I heard about this book from a couple of my friends at work, I thought it was a joke. I figured it was just something thatsome guy put together to be funny. !

I was wrong. This is some dead-serious marketing advice.

WANT TO BE CREATIVE? START RUNNING (FOR FUN) !

It’s not easy coming up with new ideas day in and day it. You do your best. You keep up on the latest trends, follow interesting people on Twitter, and have built a team of people who play improv every morning and make up their own rules to Monopoly. But still—being creative can feel a little like forced from time to time. You need the ideas to flow, not sputter. !

Well, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, and I know it’s something you may not want to hear: a little bit of exercise is exactly what you need.

5 Reasons Goonies is the Best Entrepreneurial Film of All Time !

Okay, before we get too far into this I’ll come clean. Part of the reason I’m doing this is to tell my wife why we have to watch Goonies again. It’s for work. It’s because I’m trying to do something good in the world. It’s not pleasure. Oh no. It’s not because I want to put on a pirate patch and yell, “Hey you guys!” over and over and over again. !

I want to help small business owners. That’s noble, right? !

1. It’s all about teamwork. !
