Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com's curator insight, January 10, 9:19 PM

Great article Marty. Wasn't long ago I'm talking to fellow website designer who said SEO is dead because of social media. I told him, funny how Google hasn't stopped telling website owners to do many of the items you cover in your article.  

Martin (Marty) Smith's comment, January 11, 8:14 AM
Spiders still need context Brian so you note to the designer was correct. Correct alt text has been a particular challenge for me with many designers. I prefer to have file names with keywords too, but good luck selling that idea to a designer (lol). M

Rippln Revolution Is Cool, Mysterious And Timely

Rippln Revolution Is Cool, Mysterious And Timely | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
The NEW Revolution where work is value based and so a lot like play and love isn't a "four letter word" in business.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Love this and couldn't have said it better! Life is short, do what you love, with people you love and be all in all the time and see if your FUN factor doesn't go way up. If the app is half as good as their manifesto it is sure to rock.

CEO as Chief Editor - Jack Dorsey, Square Founder - [video]

CEO as Chief Editor - Jack Dorsey, Square Founder -  [video] | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
As CEO of Square, Jack Dorsey sees himself as a "Chief Editor," charged with addressing the flood of inputs and ideas that come into the company.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great 4 minute video of a genius explaining how he curates his business. "At the end of the day we are just a group of people working on a single goal," Jack Dorsey. 

Dorsey explains his recipe for success:

1. Right people.

2. Clear and consistent communication.

3. Editing money story - revenue or investment.


One thing you have to do. Make every single detail perfect and limit the number of details. Do that well and no matter where you are in the organization you will succeed. 

If you pay attention to the smallest things everything else falls into place.

7 Kick-Ass Marketing Ideas For SMBs and Startups In 2013 - Atlantic BT

7 Kick-Ass Marketing Ideas For SMBs and Startups In 2013 - Atlantic BT | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
What trends really matter for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) and startups in 2013? @ScentTrail shares 7 kick ass marketing trends for SMBs.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

I was about to scoop 10 Online Marketing Ideas For 2013 from Entrepreneur.com when they suddenly seemed so DOOMED (lol). Don't get me wrong Entrepreneur.com's list are all important trends, but few of the Small Businesses (SMBs) and Startups I work with will be able to execute the ideas on the list well enough to get back the money they cost (with some notable exceptions). 

I share 7 ideas any SMB or Startup can do and make money from in 2013 because they are not so well traveled. These ideas are CHEAP but not everyone and their brothers are executing these so the "stand out" value is greater.

Marty Note
Read about Tapestry before. Cooler now.I learned how valuable wish lists could be from my friend and great Internet Marketer Jennifer DiMotta. Tapestry is taking the hidden power to new levels.


Jennifer taught me about the aspirational nature of a wish list. We wish list the better US we see in our minds. Own those kinds of aspirations and you can rule the world or the closet :). M
