Tales of Woe, and Not Learning Lessons

July 25th, 2008 by Stephen

Posted in Global Microbrand, New Media, Viral Marketing, Web 2.0/Media |

Kris had a problem with Xerox recently:Accountability – The Tale of the Xerox Free Color Printers Program | Fresh Focus……

Let me tell you a story about accountability, regarding the Xerox corporation. I am a member of the Xerox Free Color Printers program. This program provides a free printer to anyone, as long as you reach an agreed-upon monthly quota, report your usage every month, and buy all your supplies from them. I knew all that when I signed my contract and knew I would have no problems maintaining the requirements.If you did not maintain your usage requirement, you got fined $100. If you failed to report, you got fined $125. I knew that going in.

Too bad that Xerox didn’t learn from this [link].

Kris, you should DM Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine!

Productivity Tools and More

May 28th, 2008 by Stephen

Posted in E-book, Entrepreneur, New Media, Viral Marketing, Web 2.0 |

My friend Leo from ZenHabits has put together something new and exciting, an e-book resource called Web Warrior Tools . This new project is a partnership with blogger Glen Stansberry from LifeDev.

Billed as a set of ‘ridiculously useful e-book guides to everything’, Leo and Glen begin with these 4 titles:

1. The Beginner’s Guide to Podcasting - a “how-to” book for learning about podcasting. I am especially interested in this one!

2. Email Zen- e-mail management with a twist.

3. The Get Rich Slowly Guide to Roth IRAs - a basic financial planning resource, it’s never to early to think about retirement!

4. Secrets to a Healthy Life - Tips and advice for people that want to jump-start a healthy lifestyle.

This is just the beginning of what is going to be an extensive library of e-books. The e-books are inexpensive ($9 or less), they’ve been well-designed and are written by experienced bloggers. There is even a preview of them right on the site to get a feel for them before you buy them.

Leo and Glen are on the cutting edge of Web 2.0 with Web Warrior Tools. I believe that joining together to create this resource is going to be the first in a series of new business ideas that hit the internet this year. You can even get involved as a Web Warrior Tools affiliate.
