This Lego movie is the best movie ever! Heard that before? Well it's true. If you haven't seen these cute little lego people then you are really missing the boat. Living in a fantasy world is very interesting, right? Well not quite as interesting as real life, but pretty good anyways.

I'll be reviewing another movie next week.

Perry Marshall is one of the best experts at Facebook around. I highly recommend his book The Ultimate Guide to Facebook Advertising. It is a real goldmine. Also be sure to check out Perry's main website here: http://perrymarshall.com

I have created a short survey to be taken by students on the first day of class (September 19th, 2013) to give us some background on who our students (you) are!

This class begins Saturday, October 19th and continues through November 23.
8am-12 noon.  The instructor is me, Curtis Simpson. I taught this class last year and am looking forward to teaching it again this year.

This year we'll be leaner and meaner and more aggressively going after what we want to market.

The next time you walk down the main street in your town or city, notice all those people walking around looking into their smartphones instead of where they are going. Do you know what they are doing? Well yes some are texting or checking emails, but 50%+ are looking for a place to eat or directions to a local business. 

Starting today, their experience is going to change dramatically. 

It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to talking about profit opportunities on eBay. It’s a huge marketplace. eBay began as an auction site, but these days more than half of all of the transactions there are “Buy It Now” sales without bidding. It’s become a huge online store, with vendors offering merchandise with fixed prices and people are buying.

It's important to focus on benefits rather than features. In this article we see that the great Apple Company does just that:

"Apple has always focused on a personal approach to marketing products. The brand makes consumers want its devices by marketing how the latest device makes users’ lives better and easier. Apple convinces consumers that they need the latest iPhone or iPad. The brand doesn’t talk about technical features — it keeps the focus on the product. Instead of talking about the processor or the screen, Apple tells consumers how they’re going to use the product and the reason it’s better than competitors’ similar products."
