The one where they lost a needle

by Jeanne

Text exchange between me and “Boris” (name changed to protect the innocent):

Me: Ok, when r u leaving?

Boris: Don’t know. They lost a needle. We have to wait for the radiologist to read the x-rays.

Me: WHAT?! (In my head I was thinking of an entire syringe because I was interpreting this word in Chinese, and in Chinese, “needle” and “syringe” are the same word.) How the hell do you lose a needle inside a patient?

Taking Chances and the Cure for ED

by Jeanne

I suffered from idea constipation.

Three weeks ago, I published my first book (incurring the wrath of real writers everywhere; well, at least in the English-speaking countries).

Now, I have ED (get your mind out of the gutter).

Entrepreneur Dysfunction is the entrepreneur’s version of writer’s block.

It’s as if I’d angered the spirits of great writers and in retaliation, they’ve shut off my ideas spigot.

How to Create Instant Credibility

by Jeanne

I wrote a book that came out today, but we’ll get to that in a moment.

On February 23, 2012, I read a blog post that will forever change my life.

The Catalyst

That blog post was about newsjacking via Kindle. And even though I’ve written about newsjacking before, I wasn’t particularly interested in the newsjacking aspect of the article. Instead, I was intrigued by the following:

“it took (Alan Goldsher) 72 hours to write a 15,000-plus-word manuscript, 36 hours using Vook technology to build the e-book, and then another 24 hours to arrange distribution.”

Why I Spent $4,152.11 on a FREE Mobile App

by Jeanne

How much is gaining an INSTANT audience numbering in the thousands worth to you?

And I don’t mean one-time visitors, either.

I mean the kind of audience that returns over and over again.

A loyal and captive audience . . . one that will buy whatever you have to offer.

by Jeanne

Thumbnail image for How to Get Tons of Media Attention, Generate Massive Traffic, and Increase Sales Exponentially – The Ultimate Promotion Guide

Admit it, your marketing campaign sucks.

You’re doing everything you’re supposed to, yet somehow you’re still not getting noticed.

No attention, no traffic … not even a bleep on the radar.

What are you doing wrong? What is it that your competitors are doing and you’re not?

“Well, they’ve been doing this a lot longer than I have. It’s hard for me to catch up.”

So what?

“They’ve got a whole PR department and I’m only one person.”

Who cares?!

Because what I’m about to show you will blow them out of the water.

How a Blog Post Written in 1 Hour Generated a Million Dollars

by Jeanne

Imagine winning the lottery.

Imagine what it would be like.

How much did you win? A million? Five million? Maybe even 100 million dollars? (If you’re gonna dream, dream BIG, right?!)

What would you use the money for?

Pay off all your debts? Quit your job? Go on a vacation around the world? Open up a school in a third world country like Oprah?

What if you hit the big jackpot multiple times? What would that feel like?

What if someone gave you the secret to picking the winning numbers every time?

The World’s Best Gold Digger

I’m not gonna lie. I wanted to be a gold digger.

Not me. Not until I was faced with these questions. Questions that you should ask yourself . . .

I Am Lying to You

by Jeanne

And that’s the truth.

That’s the truth if the failure to fully disclose equals lying . . . lying by omission.

When I tell you that you, too, can achieve the level of success that I have just by following my methods, I am lying to you.

Because knowing how to do something is a long way from actually doing it.

I don’t tell you . . .

How a Screwed-Up “Marriage” Led to the Creation of AppsBlogger

by Jeanne

“You’ve got some big cojones!”

At least that’s what I’ve been told… many, many times. Probably because I have a tendency to break a few traffic laws (shhhhh, don’t tell anyone).

And also because I’ve never had trouble taking the big leap to start a new business. Several, as a matter of fact.

In 2007, after a few months of watching “Flip This House” and “Property Ladder” on cable and saying “I could do this”, I took the plunge and bought my first rehab . . .

Google Launches Android Training Program

by Jeanne

Google just announced the beta launch of a new Android development training program that includes classes to help you build better Android apps.

For you non-programmers, you should skim through the classes because it will help you understand the issues facing Android developers such as fragmentation, screen sizes, design/layout, and monetization.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your developer knows all aspects of Android development. Ultimately, you have to be the one to make sure everything comes together in the end. And the only way to do that is to be aware of the different aspects of development.

How Much Does It Really Cost to Build a Mobile Apps Business?

by Jeanne

This is the question you really want to know, right?

Sure, you can probably find estimated expenses out there, but how much does it really tell you?

Do they tell you what the exact costs are, to the penny? Doubtful.

Do they tell you exactly where it’s being spent? Not all the time.
