Buy, Borrow Or Make Friends?

For years, brands bought friends via Facebook. Giveaways, competitions and begging gave a lot of brands a large crowd.

You Don’t Want Traffic, You Want An Audience

Today I’m extra proud of being a part of the United Bloggers family. Because today we send a strong message to established media companies and other companies that gives and sells traffic.

Going With the Flow With Your Audience

I’ve tried rafting a couple of times. You jump into a raft with some strangers and go screaming down the river (loads of fun, BTW). You start at the top and your goal is to arrive somewhere down the river. How you actually get to that point is nearly impossible to plan in advance. There are so many waves, rocks and obstacles that you have to go with the flow and your instincts in order to reach your destination.

Content, Community and Then Marketplace

I don’t like walking through crowded streets, especially shopping streets. There is always someone desperately trying to scare me into buying something I don’t want. You know the type, street salespeople – “hustlers”. They are intrusive and rude.

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“.

Read this book: Damn Good Advice

Damn Good Advice (For People With Talent!) is a look into the mind of one of America’s most legendary creative thinkers, George Lois. I got this recommended by my good friend Takin, and I really loved the book!

Doing content marketing – like a boss!

I love when people go “all the way” when they do something. It’s easy to spot when someone is truly passionate about what they create, and the first content marketing campaign for the website Like a Boss is a good example on how great content create results.

A Share and a Like Is Just The First Step

I was listening to the new PodCast from Unbounce today where Tommy Walker from Shopify said something that made me stop and think.

Hva er United Bloggers?

De siste årene har blogging i Norge stått ganske stille. Da snakker jeg om hvem som tilbyr bloggere hjelp og støtte, mennesker som heier på bloggerne. Du har hatt Nettavisen som den store bautaen som driver blogg.no, også har du hatt noen få andre store aktører som halvhjertet har prøvd seg. Selv har jeg jobbet med bloggere helt siden jeg begynte rundt 2003 – og jobber fortsatt veldig tett med å hjelpe bloggere og merkevarer med å jobbe bedre sammen. Jeg har savnet et selskap som tar bloggerene mer på alvor.
