Last week I read Pace and Kyeli’s thought provoking post about their 2011 Info Product Buying Ban. I create and sell info-products and help others do the same, and it really resonated with me, because we’ve all been there, buying things we don’t need or use. I purchased several info-products in 2010 that I didn’t…
Recently, I was in a bit of a funk, as you may well know. You see, I’ve always struggled with focusing on just one thing. I get crushes on ideas, I love the promise of a new project. While this joie de vivre has made for an interesting life, as an entrepreneur I’m realizing that…

man·i·fes·to: a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer. (Merriam-Webster). Good manifestos stimulate conversation and spread, often changing minds in their wake. Just ask Seth Godin, manifestos are almost his sole form of communication. He even started ChangeThis.com as a channel for thoughtful manifestos on business, media, work and culture….
Those words came were spoken to one of my clients upon sharing her eBook idea, a brilliant one she is in the process of writing. Well, no one reads them, but Borders launched their own eBook store today, to compete with Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble. No one reads eBooks — why would they?…
Dave Navarro built a six-figure income by figuring out what his target audience wants and devising products to fill their needs. Now he helps other entrepreneurs grow and connect with their audience and create successful products. I put a few questions to Dave that I thought would be interesting for Sticky eBooks readers. His workshop…
South by Southwest Interactive, which I’ve been affectionately calling the Geek Rodeo, was a blast. Check out their YouTube channel to see stuff you may have missed. If I’d only gone to hang out with Pace & Kyeli, Sonia Simone & Brian Clark, Aliventures, the Raw Foods Witch, Andy Hayes, Cath Duncan, Chris Guillebeau, Johnny…
