CrowdFunde Creating Crowdfunding's Hub [ScentTrail Video]

Funny How Things Turn Out
Every notice things rarely to NEVER turn out how you think or plan them? After creating CureCancerStarter.org, one of the first cancer research crowdfunding websites, it felt like the SEC was about to blow crowdfunding UP.

That feeling was so strong I wrapped up my foundation and left my Marketing Director position thinking CrowdFunde.com would be all about enterprise crowdfunding (what is up on the website now).

Yeah, not so much as it turns out.

Yes the SEC & Google is about to put the three kinds of crowdfunding:

* Rewards (like Kickstarter.com).
* Donation (like Kiva.org and CharityWater.org and CureCancerStarter.org).
* Equity and debt (where you trade money for shares, should be approved by early summer).

Crowdfunding is so VALUABLE to content marketing and SEO I thought "enterprise crowdfunding" was the way to go. The more I worked the problem the more meshing and mashing is the "lean startup" answer as I share in this video with  a cameo from Lucian the crazy cat.

Ally Greer, The Sales Lion and A Content Marketing Whip, Chair and Gun Mashup For 2013

Ally Greer, The Sales Lion and A Content Marketing Whip, Chair and Gun Mashup For 2013 | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Mashup these 4 content marketing posts and your Internet marketing wins in 2013.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

http://www.scoop.it/t/web-content-digital-curation/p/3887156139/trends-be-discovered-in-2013-via-content-curation-and-the-interest-graph

Great article from the Scoop.it team's Ally Greer (@allygreer) on why content marketing is the much needed LION.

http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2012/12/why-blog-isnt-generating-leads/

Great article from Marcus Sheridan aka The Sales Lion (@TheSalesLion) about the content saturation index or the ROAR of the lion.

Ally is right content marketing is the only marketing left and she is right. Marcus is also right. Everyone knows the importance of content now so the amount of DREK content being loaded up as I type this is staggering.

"We create as much digital content very 2 days now as from the dawn of man up until 2003." Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt

If Ally's excellent article is (A) and Marcus' is (B) here is (C):

Why Your Internet Marketing Must Disrupt
http://scenttrail.blogspot.com/2012/12/why-your-internet-marketing-must.html

 

If you must play in a crowded field NEVER do so like anyone else. You and your company are unique so DISRUPT to win.

And here is (D) also from @ScentTrail (my alter ego LOL):

Imagination, Money and Internet Marketing
http://scenttrail.blogspot.com/2012/12/imagination-money-and-internet-marketing.html

 

Ally - Content marketing = NET so throw as much as possible.

Sales Lion - Already a lot of fishermen throwing lots of net, great tips on throwing yours better.

ScentTrail - Disruption Cuts through clutter.

ScentTrail - Find and live in Greatness, win hearts and minds.

 

Mashing those 4 posts together can help any Internet marketing team in 2013. What other posts should be mash into the MUST READ mix for 2013? Share your favorites and we will curate them in.
