The top five mistakes entrepreneurs make when they market

by Seth Godin

1. Expecting gratitude in exchange for having done something that was hard. Yes, you built a company, you might even have bootstrapped it. Yes, you've got the machinery and the packaging and the retail space. Yes, you've navigated hiring people and yes, you finally shipped. I couldn't care less. I'm not going to buy your brownie/consulting/services just because you worked hard on it.

2. Spending money as a substitute for doing something great. Spending on marketing an average product isn't working anymore. You're far better off spending money on making your product better. A lot better.

3. Not realizing that it's your company, and your marketing better be as good as everything else. It doesn't matter if you don't like marketing or don't think you're good at it. Figure it out or go home. Sooner or later, you succeed because you were able to spread your ideas. So go to school and figure out how it works.

4. Listening to other people. If they're so smart, why aren't they running your company? Don't take a poll. Don't ask your mother-in-law, that's for sure. Cover your downsides, double your desire to take a risk and then just do it.

5. Failure to measure. All this is worthless if you don't test and measure relentlessly. Do what works. Kill what doesn't. Repeat.

1. True. Same goes with other 'business' too. For example, if you arrange concert, festival, don't except people to show up there because you did lot of hard work for arranging your event. They couldn't care less, only thing they care is the end result.

2. Google. Have you seen googles ads somewhere?

3. I have seen interesting ideas, products to start collecting dust, only because people don't know anything about how to market their excellent ideas and products for the people. So yes, marketing is the key thing in business.

4. This is what I usually do. I listen too much what other people think about my ideas or strategies. Lesson learned.

5. YEP. Stats. There are still many webmasters who don't know what's URL referrer. ;)

AOL (users) busted for spamming DIGG

AOL has now been publicly called out for spamming on Digg. It was discussed in a Digg topic yesterday. Despite Calacanis' efforts, the anti-AOL commenter still got +28 diggs. Let's force this to the main page so Digg can take action. They do the exact thing on Digg that gets people banned from Netscape. (Contains list of 25+ spam accounts).

Quite messy discussion on digg.com, it seems that some AOL users had been using digg.com for spamming their own stuff (?).

Spam bots spamming for who?

This is my own forgotten guestbook. Full of spam.

Funny thing is... it's not linked from my website, so it's basically impossible to find this page/guestbook. Who is reading the spam? Other bots? :)

Spamming to guestbooks really doesn't make any sense.

Why Snap is on the list? It sucks. Popurls.com should have been nominated.
