  1. SPI 037 : Monetizing in a Hobby Niche

    In this session of the Smart Passive Income Podcast I’m stoked to feature yet another success story from someone who has built a six-figure business online in a hobby niche that, to be honest, I never thought was possible to make a living from – at least online.

    Lain Ehmann from LayoutaDay.com shares an amazing story about how she’s built an online business in the scrapbooking industry!

    Beyond her story, she shares a ton of incredibly useful information that I look forward to putting into practice myself someday.

  2. Josh Berkus | Scale Fail

    With a good deal of sarcasm, Josh Berkus presents a sardonic critique about scaling tools that are trendy rather than reliable. Josh Berkus, CEO of PostgreSQL, gives a facetious list of do’s and don’ts for database creation and application design that, while often popular today, are not stable techniques. In the same cynical tone of this short presentation, Berkus sarcastically places sexiness at the top of the list of qualities to maintain when scaling website elements.

  4. SXSW: Zombies Must Eat: How Genre Communities Make Money

    SXSW 2011 presentation by KW Low of Dread Central and Skot Leach of Lost Zombies.

    Genre communities particularly the horror-themed ones are increasing seen by the entertainment industry as an important audience segment to market to. The success of 2009’s Paranormal Activity can be attributed to this loyal and vocal community that used social media tools to share their passions with everyone else. Because of this additional marketing focus by the entertainment industry, there are even more opportunities now for horror genre community sites to get a piece of the marketing dollars. But then, which comes first, the community or the revenue? The panelists will describe how their companies found their target audience and what they did to generate revenue while keeping true to their audience, hence maintaining their loyalty. While the panelist will be talking from their experiences in the horror genre, the same methods can replicated to foster loyal communities in other genres and to make money there too.

  6. Trends - the retail shop of the future

    The retail world is undergoing a revolution with the rise of online shopping websites. How does a shop — with bricks and mortar — transform its purpose for the 21st century shopper? How do the buyers — people who buy the clothes for us to shop — look ahead and anticipate this change; and the experience of shopping in a shop, rather than online.

  7. Teachers Teaching Teachers » social networking

    Just in time teaching. Listen to a lively conversation about how to use Shelfari– or how to get a similar site built — to create a social networking site for students to share their book logs, reviews, and recommendations with each other.

    Susan Ettenheim and Paul Allison (and Lee Baber in the chat room) welcomed:

    * Amanda, the Community Manager at Shelfari
* Bill Fitzgerald, our open-source friend and web developer from Funny Monkey
* Wesley Fryer, who blogs and podcasts at Moving at the Speed of Creativity

    Earlier this summer, Susan Ettenheim began to work with the folks at Shelfari to see about using their social reading site in her school. Wesley Fryer noticed her interest and detailed a quest he has to find or build a social networking site for young readers. He wrote that he wants “Netflix functionality… the site should offer the following features:
