right place.

dumb luck.

they didn’t have a clue.

it was a little side project to impress a girl.

she hired her cousin who was a college drop-out to do the marketing.

the little bastards got lucky.

it’s all TechCrunch’s fault

we build communities.

a bunch.

do you wanna know why?

they don’t care what you have to say, sell or even give away

the majority of the buying decisions we make is through word of mouth

i’m not that unique

“there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics” Mark Twain

SOCIAL CAPITAL

5 sure-fire steps to transform yourself from a...

into a

[and maybe even an influencer]

loyalty

word of mouth

into a

#1. turn that bullhorn inwards

impersonal

INreach

#2. become part of the community you serve

whuffie?

SOCIAL CAPITAL

I don’t think that “fictional” future is too far off...

trust.

the gift economy

what can you give away that won’t leave you broke?

#5. find your higher purpose.

you just have to find a way to give back to the community

“nerd values”

“doing well by doing good”

“We don't think of ourselves as do-gooders or altruists. It's just that somehow we're trying our best to be run with some sense of moral compass even in a business environment that is growing.” Craig Newmark, founder, Craigslist (SFGate 2004]
