This is a post I had written much earlier on a static web-page. Now I am importing it into the blog. It’s not such a bad idea to revisit Seth Godin’s work from time to time anyway. Enjoy.
Seth Godin - A Podcast and a video from a TED talk
Shortly after I turned on the computer this morning, I decided that I will continue to write about Seth Godin and provide you with two great resources about smart marketing.
The Podcast for Tribes
On September 12th, 2008 Seth Godin had recorded an exclusive interview style
podcast done by and for his community
Triiibes.com.
(I don’t hot link there, because it is a private community — and will remain to be private — and all you would see is a login screen.)
In this roughly 47 minutes Seth talks about
- His notion of Tribes
- The Book: Tribes - We Need You To Lead Us
- Triiibes.com

I just noticed my blogging colleague Bob Poole put the audio recording (mp3) of his interview with best-selling author Daniel Pink online.
“Interview With Dan Pink (↑).”
Bob has a sales background and, therefore, they also touch on the
subject of motivating sales people quite a bit.
Check it out. The interview is about 16 minutes long. A
transcript (↑) is already available on Bob's blog.
Enjoy.
By the way: I already put Dan's book on my Amazon wishlist.
“Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (↑).”
Learning about human psychology and applying this knowledge has been always helpful in
sales and marketing. Remember the old saying?
“People buy what they WANT not what they NEED.”

The recording of a
free tele-seminar call from last Thursday is online now.
The host
Robert Skrob (↑) discusses with his guests — both experienced lawyers in Internet respectively direct response marketing and related fields —
Peter Hoppenfeld (↑) and
Michael E. Young (↑). If I remember correctly the call is about 1 hour 12 minutes and packed with great information.
They do not simply rehash general information that’s already circulating on the Internet about those
new FTC guidelines in effect since December 1, 2009 in the USA. This is an
advanced call for experienced marketers.
Actually they start answering real world questions from their members right away.
Not only that I was listening live myself, I also had submitted a question which was answered during the call.

New rules and guidelines for online Internet marketers and vendors are coming up fast. The date they become effective in the USA is Tuesday, December 1, 2009.
I guess some webmasters will be busy over the weekend to update their sites if they have not taken action earlier.
But what is this all about anyway?
Why not ask an expert?
Jim Edwards did.
I strongly recommend you go over there and take opportunity to get this
FREE information. Jim offers you 3 options.
- Webinar Video Replay
- Webinar Audio Replay
- PDF Transcript
(The PDF version is for Jim’s email subscribers only. But guess what, you can sign up for his list on the spot.)
Get all that legal info for FREE.
In previous posts I have also written about those changes in guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission in the USA for
Internet marketing practices. I also wrote about similar — even tighter — legislation for
Internet marketers in the EU (European Union).
At this point I want to thank
Andy Beard (↑) who mentioned this interview in his latest blog post, “
Harder Facts About Comment Spam (↑).”
Take a legal notepad, some time in the evening and listen to that valuable information. Or at least get the PDF for later reference. No idea how long it will be online.
Enjoy the weekend.

Have a nice beautiful Sunday!
This will be a very short blog post but (hopefully) will keep you busy for a long while.
This information could severely impact
entrepreneurs' chances (yours) for immense success in business.
But why should you listen to two
crazy guys, one with a Viking helmet, one in front of the pyramids?
The answer is quite simple: “Both of them are already at a stage in life where they can do whatever they wish to do. And they have big fun running their businesses.” Sounds like a great role model for me.
Listen to there
looooong mastermind call:
- Listen
- Take notes
- Learn
- Model
- Harvest the fruits
And of course:
- ENJOY!
- Did I say, “It’s FREE!”
- And leave a comment for me, please.
Get their proven answers to questions like:
- Part 1 – Why you leave so much money on the table
- Part 2 – Should you compete in Big Markets or Niche Markets?
- Part 3 – Should You focus on ONE Business or seek Multiple Streams of Income?
- Part 4 – How much is it costing you to be COOL to your customers even when (especially when) they’re WRONG…?
- Part 5 – The Wisdom and Rambo and Andy Dufrane.
- Part 6 – The Action to Acquire Method — How to get ANYTHING you want.
- Part 7 – The Honest To GOD Truth about Automated Money-Getting.
- Part 8 – The Value of “LIVE”
Now, without further ado:
Yours
John W. Furst
P.S.: Leave a comment here! How do you like this kind of info from me?
Personally I am so sick of all this recession talk. It's everywhere. Now I am reading 50 job applicants for each job opening in the United Kingdom. That number by itself doesn't say anything. I don't get it why mass media always distorts reality and makes it appear more negative than it is. People should stop buying into this “negativity reporting”.
Need some positive news?
It has been historically proved that a recession is actually a good time to start off a new business. I know that self-employment or being an employer is not for everyone,... That's true. But if you have it in your veins t work for yourself than you'll appreciate the following interview with Seth Godin.
Even if you are working as employee you can get some take aways from this interview and help change the organization you are involved with for the better. Many businesses are on the wrong track without even knowing it.
You do not want to miss this interview.
See what's inside.
