Last week we promised a big announcement. Here it is! Think Traffic has now become The Sparkline: a blog for independent creatives and entrepreneurs building matterful things. We’ve fallen in love over the past year. Our Fizzle community and The Fizzle Show have revealed a whole crew of people putting their asses on the line to build something they care about.
Start a Blog that Matters has been our best selling individual course of all time. Over 3,000 people have enrolled since we released it in early 2012. And today we're announcing an exciting change...
When you're small, there is so much to celebrate. When you're small, you're capable of handcrafted experiences, thoughtful details and careful outcomes.
The greatest compliment we can hope for as entrepreneurs is to find out what we've built actually means something, that what we're doing matters. A few days ago, a Fizzle member wrote a post in the forums titled "What I really think about Fizzle." When you see a title like that about your work, you can't help but feel a little nervous to read the judgement that follows.
Building a successful blog only requires two steps. Earning a living doing what you love requires two more steps. Publishing 500 blog posts taught me this and more. A couple of weeks ago, we crossed over a big milestone here at Think Traffic. There are now over 500 blog posts published on this site. 500!
Every week I talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what's working and what isn't. We talk about successes and failures. I spend time with both complete newbies and seasoned veterans, and everything in between.
As a business builder you absolutely have to learn to balance the creative stuff with the business stuff. This is something Chase Reeves is well versed in. He’s one of the hosts of the show and we get to know him in part 2 of the Meet Your Hosts series.
We have two big things to announce today. First, we're launching a podcast next Monday, June 3rd!
We've been busy over at Fizzle in the past couple of months and I wanted to share some exciting news with you. If you haven't heard about Fizzle yet, we call it "Honest Online Business Training." We think it's the best training library and community for online business builders anywhere.
In my first couple of startups, I built things in the traditional order: product first, then audience. With Think Traffic, I started blogging first, then figured out which products and services to deliver to the audience that gathered here.
