I agree completely. WordPress is one of the strongest open source offerings out there in my opinion and the community is definitely strong. WordPress plugins and themes are becoming more creative and more sophisticated all the time. I checked out your blog. I like your writing and the screenshots are great. It’s definitely worth subscribing to.

Comment on You Are Offending People On Twitter, But Who? by OpenSourceMarketer

Eunice, the quickest way is to click their profile image on your Twitter page, which will take you to their Twitter page. Just under their picture and Twitter name you should see an “Unfollow” button. Click that and you should be good. I use Tweet Deck and I can unfollow people directly from within the application. Occasionally I will spend a block of time clearing out banned accounts or spam followers just so my true followers won’t come across garbage in my profile. I can’t tell you if there is any real value in doing that, but it makes me feel more connected to the people who follow me on Twitter.

@ Craig Bak:

Craig, that is some fantastic advice. Somewhere we get the false idea that we have to do it all ourselves of somehow we failed. The truth is we need others as much as they need us and when we lean into that, then things begin to happen.

Thanks for reminding me of that important idea.

Homeruns are not the thing I’d wish to share, but I would like to say that reading and/or listening to people that have proved that they can make money online like Mark Joyner, Dan Kennedy, Joe Vitale and others who freely tell you how to “DO IT” aka Mentors that are not afraid you may become their competition.

Doing it all yourself is a mistake, you can make a bigger impact with your efforts if they are multiplied with other marketers in a win-win-win situation, I tried to build a list of subscribers for a long time on my own and get hardly any, then got involved with a few giveaway events and Bang, my list is now respectable and growing all the time.

Never let anyone make you give up your dream, if you really want to do this then learn what you need to learn, make mistakes - we ALL do, then move on, most of all - do something everyday that helps your business even if you’re not “in business” yet.
Forget the Hype.
Don’t wait to get started, get movin’!
Find out what people want and give it to them (solve their problem).
Make yourself known - talk to people.
Do what you Love - Love what you Do!

Leoul, thank you for sharing your perspective on the Seinfeld Microsoft ads. It sounds like maybe you are interested in feeling connected to Microsoft in some way that you haven’t felt in the past. Seeing Seinfeld and Bill Gates involved in everyday activities may help you see Microsoft as approachable and friendly. If that’s what they were going for, then they were successful.

It just didn’t do it for me.

I think the ads were approached to the public in a smart and comforting manner. I personally enjoyed them. The fact that they did not have any computers on them to directly advertise their products was just purely genius. The type of ads that would make me feel about Microsoft is exactly what I saw. By using comedy and an everyday real life experiences to present a product is a smart way of attracting attention

Shiraz, I agree and that is very well put. The barrier to entry is extremely low and on the “hardest” day, it’s still easy work. The real trick is patient, persistence, and continual learning.
