Check out what SumoMe is doing to get more traffic
How do you get more traffic?
Easy. Bribe people to tell their friends about you. 🙂
Think about it…
A few years back I started using Dropbox. Shortly after I signed up, they told me that if I would refer a few friends to use their service, then they would give me more storage.
Referring people is easy. So I did. And as a result they upgraded me from 2GB of storage to 10GB.
This is called an ethical bribe and it’s extremely effective.
How can you use this?

“Worry, doubt and fear”: A video essay
Yesterday I ate lunch with an 80 year old man who still gets up at 6am every morning.

The next 2 hours of his morning he spends reading. Mostly scholarly works pertaining to his Christian faith.
But he challenges himself. He challenges his ideals and beliefs every single day.
He’s currently obsessed with Buddha. (he has some really interesting theories pertaining to him)
Then the next hour he spends writing. Articles. Blog posts. Speeches he might give one day. Anything that comes to mind.
He does all of this by 11am each morning.
When I asked him why he followed this routine, he responded
