How Inclusion on AllTop extends your reach

July 18, 2011 By Jim Raffel 2 Comments

More than a year ago, I applied to have this blog included on AllTop, which is an online magazine rack.

How's your Logo Mojo?

July 15, 2011 By Jim Raffel 5 Comments

I'll be the first to admit that you don't need a logo, business cards or even a website to do business because you don't. I often advise folks just starting out to not even worry about such things until you have lined up your first paying customer. So while JimRaffel.com Ventures (the umbrella for … [Read more...]

How do you incorporate Google Plus in your blogging strategy – Jim Says

July 13, 2011 By Jim Raffel 5 Comments

I decided to jump in the Google Plus (G+) waters fairly early. Based upon Google's two recent failures in the social space, Buzz and Wave, this was a relatively risky use of my time to learn and grow with the service through its beta and limited invitation period. It's been a good decision as I … [Read more...]

July 11, 2011 By Jim Raffel 3 Comments

Beware the OTA update. A couple of weeks ago, I accepted an OTA update from Sprint.

Capturing Ideas

July 8, 2011 By Jim Raffel Leave a Comment

For me it's via writing. When I don't find a quiet place to plug in my ear buds and write, I start to get irritable and edgy. Perhaps, it started as an outlet for all the ideas flying around in my head but now it's the time when I convert thoughts and ideas into actionable plans. Plans that can be … [Read more...]

July 7, 2011 By Jim Raffel 8 Comments

Yesterday, Shelby covered this topic and I must say by and large I agree with her. I know, where's the fun in a "She Said, He Said" topic when we agree? Well, sometimes it's more about different perspectives and I think this is one of those times. While I agreed on the word "obsolete" when Shelby … [Read more...]

Obsolete social media networks – Shelby Says

July 6, 2011 By Shelby Sapusek 6 Comments

This week, Jim and I came up with a tough topic: What social media network will become obsolete first? Will it be Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Gowalla, Foursquare, etc.? I had to put a lot of thought into this one and decided the answer is complex enough for a blog post; although I'll be happy to … [Read more...]

The relaunch of our ProofPass.com site has taught and reinforced a number of business lessons and principles for me over the last month. The new ProofPass.com is an enhanced and improved version of the original product/service. In other words, we built a better mousetrap and it's getting noticed. … [Read more...]
