Watch the full show: http://www.domainsherpa.com/colin-pape
How do you leverage 8,000 domain names to create the largest buy-local network in the world? Colin Pape, president of ShopCity.com, answers this question and more as he describes how he built ShopMidland.com – serving a town of only 16,000 residents – into a $100,000+ business, and is now scaling it across thousands of Shop[CityName].com domain names. Pape is also taking on Google by filing a U.S. Federal Trade Commission complaint for anti-competitive behavior.
The 21st Century Social Enterprise, Starring You: Building a Modern Personal...Social Media Today
Never before have individuals had the social tools, permissions, and instantaneous reach available today to build their own career outcomes, and bolster corporate brands in the process. Internal and external social networks and 24/7 "always on" conversations are giving marketing professionals new channels to share their thoughts, remix and collaborate on breakthrough ideas, truly think and act outside the boxes that previously limited originality and passion.
Our esteemed panel will discuss how the time is ripe to carpe diem! And begin building a personal brand (inside and outside the Enterprise) that has staying power and draws followers to your big ideas and goals. We'll take a look at how your personal brand equity can ignite passion for the brands you represent. In order to fully embrace this new social order, social media enthusiasts must understand that with great power comes great responsibility:
What are the personal risks of attaching your personal brand to an idea that failed?
What happens when your personal brand overshadows the brand you're representing?
If your network is your net worth, what happens when you unplug?
If you've established your personal brand in the context of your corporate brand, what happens when you change jobs?

This lesson is about how Sage started, and how this particular case combined someone who had great marketing skills but also was a great entrepreneur: a very rare occurrence, particularly in the technology sector, and something which turned out to be a massive success story.
The Sage story - which has been told before but I think is worth telling again - is about David Goldman, a guy who had a printing works in Newcastle and who took on a visiting professor under a DTI scheme to do some technology work for him.
In this particular case it was to do a costing and estimating package for the print industry, based on software. As anyone in the printing industry will realize, it’s quite a complex process to cost and estimate a printing job, which could have various different colors and different lengths etc.
They produced this product and started to sell it, and then subsequently produced an accounting product, which was OK. I raised venture capital for them, as is my style: I invested my fee back into the company and became involved.
In this particular case, Amstrad launched the PCW, which was the first low-cost PC in the UK, at £500: within six weeks, David Goldman had produced a £99 accounts package to go onto the Amstrad. It was the beginning of low-cost software in the UK market, and the business just took off.
But where David was outstanding was that he understood marketing. He wasn’t hung up about the product per se. So for example, when people phoned up and said: “How do we buy invoices to work with your accounting product?”, instead of shrugging his shoulders, he said: “We’ll produce them!”, because he was a printer of course.
So he produced invoices and payslips, and when people said: “Well, how do we make this thing work?” not just: “How do we turn the computer on?” but: “How do we do the
month-end routines? How do we do some of the accounting functions that go with the software package?”, we started to advise them - and, significantly, to charge them for it.
In those days back in the early 1980s, it was unusual for software companies to charge for their telephone support. We did. And, of course, it’s become a massively important part of the Sage business, and a massively important reason why people bought, and still continue to buy, the product.
Then sales started to take off; so the bold decision to g ...

7. I cut my teeth as a copywriter back in the late 90s.
You know. Grunge, BritPop, AOL.
After working for major ad agencies in Buenos
Aires, New York and Miami handling projects
across the three Americas and Spain, I decided in

9. Yes, I used to be a traditional ad guy.

I decided to unlearn the old bag of tricks of the ad

First I set out to develop my own website.

Multitasking was the name of the game.
It paid off.
Big time.

restaurants, Ikea & Partnership for A Drug Free
America and even a big Mexican political party:
the notorious PRI.

23. I’ve always made the effort to be a generalist, a
holistic professional, stewarding the process from
beginning to end.
Go after new clients.
Reel them in.
Find out what they need.
Get to know them.
Get their input.
Research.
Conceive the strategy.
Create the concept.
Sell it.
Craft the execution.
Get the client’s blessing.
Roll it out across multiple media and platforms.
Learn.
Fine tune.
Sift through pesky P&L.
Repeat.
24. It ain’t just about the bottom line, trust me.
It’s the thrill of shaping the culture.
The adrenaline high of influencing human
behavior.
25. I hold dual Argentine & US citizenship.
I am married to a beautiful Spanish woman (Catalan
from Barcelona, to be precise).
We have three children: little Gonzalo, Paula & Belén.
Sports? I’m a jack of all trades and master of none.
Soccer, rugby, golf, tennis, surf, ski, snowboard,
squash, box. Name a sport, I’ve dabbled in it. Usually
with forgettable results.
Trivia.
