How do you find advertisers for your blog? If you’ve been spending a lot of time on the web, I’m sure you’ve stumbled across Gary Vaynerchuk aka @GaryVee on Twitter. Gary is not only the founder of a VERY successful show on the web (Wine Library tv) but he is also the author of Crush It and Thank you Economy (one of my favourite books). If you’ve heard of him you’ll probably also know that he’ll buy the NY Jets one day! :) When I first saw him on Youtube, he immediately caught my attention. I like how genuinely passionate he is, and not only is he exceptional in what he does, but his honesty meant that his gutsy attitude and personality might have made some people upset.

I imagined so many weird scenarios happening in my head. The worst part is, I made a huge mistake by not having enough business cards with me during the conference. It wasn’t a pleasant experience getting a card and not giving one in return. Well, luckily I’ve managed to keep in touch with a couple of people whom I met back then. Right Zilkry? … [Read more...] about Giveaway: Are business cards important? YES!
How do you WOW your customers?
Recently I did small renovation on my entire room. I changed the flooring, curtains, window grill, and even changed my door because the old door had seen better days.
