My First Day In a While

You know those days that feel like a new beginning almost, only more like a new chapter. Where you get the chance to rewire your habits, your focus and your energy. I love days like these.

The future of video is muted?

Video is the most powerful way to talk with your audience. You need to stop thinking that a video is consumed the same way it was last year. Videos rarely is seen from start to end, and the sound is more often than not turned off. Are your videos created to be consumed in the new way?

David Shing about narrow casting, influencers and the future of blogging

I never thought I would meet a prophet. Altho if I did meet one I was pretty sure he would be a digital one. Meet David Shing, the digital prophet of AOL. He was visiting the norwegian Be On office and did an inspiring talk.

What’s Meerkat?

The last months there’s been a lot of chatter about the new streaming service Meerkat. I first picked it up when Gary Vaynerchuk invested in it, but this week under SXSW in Austin Texas it’s clear that “everyone” is thinking this is the next big thing.

Russel Brunson on how to work with landing pages and Facebook ads

I was recently attending the Traffic and Conversion Summit, and I got the pleasure of meeting Russel Brunson. One of the legends in the traffic and conversion industry. He’s the founder ofDotComSecrets and Clickfunnels, he also runs the highly popular PodCast “Marketing in your Car“.

My Next Chapter, a New Blogging Revolution

For those who’ve followed me from the start, you might remember that I started blogging way back in 2003. You might also remember that I built one of Norway’s first blog-platforms, which eventually got acquired. Blogging has always been one of my biggest passions, and I’ve been a central part in shaping how bloggers and brands work together in the Nordics.

I’ve been on a journey these last five years in the marketing industry—learning lots of other disciplines of the trade, but I’ve decided it’s time to come home. I’ve gotten an opportunity to work with great people whom I believe can change and challenge the blogging industry once again.

I’ve just announced (you can read the Norwegian press release here) that I’m joining United Bloggers to build and lead their international team. We will move United Bloggers into new markets and challenge the status quo. I’m proud to be a part of this.

I’ll be sharing more about United Bloggers on my blog of course, but today I just wanted to let you know that I’m starting a new chapter in my life.

It’s always emotional to leave a place you love, and I’ll truly miss my friends at Fanbooster. And they have been very supportive of my decision. But this was something that I could not say no to.

I’m so excited to work with all the talented people over at UB, and getting back to the world of blogging once again.

So my journey continues. And I will keep on sharing it with you, thank you for sticking around and supporting me.

Let the second blogging revolution begin!
