We are continuing our coverage about the essential success recipes for all Internet entrepreneurs.  In a blog post written yesterday, we shared three videos from the Web 2.0 Expo NY.  In this article, I want to leave you with 10 questions to ponder.  But before you hear my questions, please go through the following list of the 10 greatest Internet entrepreneurs of all time and find out what they have in common:

• Jeff Bezos – Amazon.com

• Craig Newmark – Craigslist

• Kevin Rose – Digg

• Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook

• Michael Arrington – TechCrunch

• Evan Williams – Twitter

• Jimmy Wales- Wikipedia

• Jason Calacanis – Mahalo.com

• Sergey Brin & Larry Page – Google

Here are my 10 questions for you:

1. Do you have a good concept that you think 9 out of 10 people will like?

2. Do you feel the necessity of creating a community where everybody has a sense of belonging?

3. Are you willing to work your butt off for the first 1 – 3 years after your company’s launched?

4. Are you capable of offering good customer service and answering every email from your customers?

5. Does long term relationship matter more than short term profit for you?

6. Do you have the skills to innovate in your niche?

7. Are you consistent in doing what will grow your business in the long run?

8. Have you incorporated a mechanism in your business which produces user-generated content?

9. Do you have the marketing skills to create online materials that tend to go “viral”?

10. Are you willing to offer something free as “freemium” has been coined as 21st century online buzz word?

 
If you answer “YES” to all these 10 questions, I believe you should keep doing what you are passionate about to grow business.  I start each day by asking myself these same questions.  So far, they have provided me with the fuel that’s necessary to move my online businesses forward.  Just in case you wonder, blogging and building an online community are the two main things I am working on right now.  Please let us know your insights in the comment area below.

Yesterday we covered the first 5 reasons why social media can benefit entrepreneurs.  Click here to check it out. For most entrepreneurs, social media can provide emotional support, create an interactive environment, help foster meaningful relationships, facilitate the community building process, and provide more monetization options. Without further ado, let’s wrap up this series by introducing the last 5 reasons in this post.

6. Social media eliminates the “middlemen” once and for all for entrepreneurs

In the old media world, small businesses must have an “agency” to do almost everything.  To publish a book, you needed a book publishing firm.  To do PR, you needed a PR firm.  You got the idea.  With social media, you can now reach your users directly. Entrepreneurs can self publish their books using sites like Lulu. With sites like Twitter and Facebook, businesses can do their own PR and marketing.  David Meerman Scott calls this shift as the New Rules of PR and Marketing.

7. Social media helps entrepreneurs become more efficient and productive

Social media brings productivity and efficiency to entrepreneurs.  With the right time management skills, tools like Gmail, Twitter, and blogs let businesses accomplish more in short amount of time. To master the productivity skills, here is an article you must read – “30 Tips: The Productivity Guide of Social Media.”

8. Social media lets entrepreneurs find and pursue their passion

Gary Vaynerchuk’s Crush It is probably one of the greatest books ever written about social media.  The book persuades you to pursue your dreams and find your passion.  For entrepreneurs, there should be no more excuses for not doing something they are passionate about in the 21st century.  To learn more on how to cash in on your passion with social media, read this article.

9. Social media creates more “linchpin” opportunities for entrepreneurs

In Seth Godin’s latest book “Linchpin,” the sound of becoming indispensable rings clear and loud. For entrepreneurs, being defined as “indispensable” by their customers means “standing out.” Correct implementation of social media tools makes you stand out even more. Would you like to become an indispensable blogger, Twitterer, or wine guy? In every field, entrepreneurs have a chance now to become the “linchpin” via social media.

10. Social media helps entrepreneurs develop their personal brands

Personal branding is a hot topic in the new digital age.  Entrepreneurs need to have a brand that’s recognizable, preferable, and indispensable deemed by their customers.  There are different ways you can achieve this goal with the assist of social media.  Please read this article (“5 Ways You Can Make Your Brand Indispensable Via Social Media”) to get more tips.

 
To sum it up, social media and entrepreneurship should be combined to create more efficiency, more brand equity, more linchpin opportunities, and more relationships with your customers.  You can leave your comments below if you want to.

Today, I got to brainstorm for more strategies about how social media can benefit entrepreneurs. Over the past year, social media has played a significant role in the businesses I am involved with, such as blogging and networking.  So what’s the fuzz about social media that really makes it indispensable for modern entrepreneurs? I understand there is a lot of hype surrounding social media nowadays.  In this post, I’d like to list the first 5 logical reasons why I consider social media as an essential tool for most businesses, no matter you’re in B2C or B2B sector.  Let’s get right to the points.

1. Social media provides emotional support for entrepreneurs

There were times I got frustrated with my business not moving forward.  But I refused to be defeated by emotions.  These are the 13 most inspiring video clips from YouTube that I put together a while ago. I’ve seen them over and over again in the past.  They really helped me turn my frustration into courage and strength.  (I highly recommend you to check out the above link)

2. Social media is the interactive tool that connects entrepreneurs

I like to use the LinkedIn group example here.  Similar to Meetup groups, LinkedIn lets business people plug in corresponding groups based on their interests.  For example, if you are an entrepreneur, a must-join group is Dharmesh Shah’s On Startups – The Community For Entrepreneurs.  Entrepreneurs in that same group can share articles and post discussions that provide valuable information about entrepreneurship, business development, etc.  Here is the recommended reading if you are interested in learning more about LinkedIn groups: 30 Top LinkedIn Groups for Entrepreneurs, eMarketers, and Social Media Enthusiasts.

3. Social media offers a channel to for entrepreneurs build relationships

Tools like Twitter can help business owners establish relationships with their suppliers, customers, and prospects.  I’ve written an article about how to use Twitter to build relationships, check it out – “15 Tips to Help You Build Relationships on Twitter”.

4. Social media helps entrepreneurs build communities

If you’ve read the book “Tribes” by Seth Godin, chances are you already understand the importance of having and leading a community. Social media tools like Facebook help you accomplish that. You can start a Facebook page for your business today and start counting your fans tomorrow.  The more fans you have, the more social proof your business gets.  Check out the NY Entrepreneurs Business Network fan page here.

5. Social media creates monetization opportunities for entrepreneurs

We all know that starting a business is hard. For beginning entrepreneurs, correctly using social media to position themselves means more options to monetize.  On my blog, I currently integrate Google Adsense, Amazon Associates, Chitika eMiniMalls and sell affiliate products.  Of course my ultimate goal is to have and sell my own product, something that truly belongs to me.  But at the beginning, every bit of other income sources helps.  This philosophy should apply to entrepreneurship in any other endeavor.

Please stay put and wait for our 2nd post in a series that will detail the last 5 reasons why social media can benefit entrepreneurs. Make sure you subscribe to our RSS so you get updated once it gets published. (Update: Part II is now available here.)

It’s almost Tuesday, and I’m ready to hit the NYEBN networking event at La Pomme. I had a blast at the last event, and met a lot of interesting people–several of whom will be good business connections.

Sure, as a solo entrepreneur I know how important it is to network–I bet you do, too–but I’ll be honest with you.  About 90% of the business card I collect wind up in a shoebox on my bookshelf where, frankly, they’re not doing anyone any good.  It’s terrible, really, because five good follow-ups are worth more than a hundred moldering business cards. But following up always seems kind of…lame.  It has the desperate smell junior high school… “Great meeting you. Please be my friend/send me lots of business.”

But five of the business-owners who followed-up with me after January’s event managed it in such graceful, interesting, and diverse ways that I just might have to steal their ideas. Without further ado, here are five follow-ups that are guaranteed to help you win friends and influence people.

With a job offer

I woke up Wednesday to a request for a meeting from Eugene Moore of Moore Technology Consulting.  It seems he’s in the process of revamping his website, and may need a little Easy Writing to get it up-and-running.  Kismet?  Sure, you’re simply not going to need the services of every person you encounter at an event–and he and I may or may not wind up doing business together–but if you’ve had a project in mind for a while, and you run across that type of service provider at an event, ask them for a bid. It’s a great way to follow-up, and they just might be the connection you need.

With a demo

I had no idea what coaching actually was until I encountered Geri Mazur of Mazur Consulting Group. But since she offered me a free demo, I jumped at the chance (isn’t free a great word?).  We spent a fruitful half-an-hour on the phone together while she plied her craft, and I now really get not only coaching, but the unique attributes and attitudes that Geri herself brings to the field.  And as a follow-up strategy? Priceless.

With your best marketing tool

I contacted Boris Chernyy of Media Gravity because we’re in related fields–a no-brainer, right?  But his response to my generic “Let’s LinkIn” email contained several interesting and well-prepared case studies that showcased his business and its creative approach to problem-solving.

With an MBA

A mutually beneficial arrangement can open a lot of doors. Andrew Ran Wong was gracious enough to offer me the chance to post on his blog, paving the way for both of us to build our businesses at the same time.

With the best advice

Just a few days after the NYEBN Meetup, I actually attended another networking event–and who were the first people I saw as I walked in the door? It was Sean McVey and Eric Ast, the social media guys from Rising Lynx. Not only was I impressed by their networking tenacity, but they had already taped out the best drink specials–and they gave me the heads-up. Talk about value-add. (Editor’s note: Sean McVey and Eric Ast are both NYEBN members.)

So I guess the takeaway here is…get creative with your follow-up. It will help you stay top-of-mind, and keep you connected between events. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday. And to following up with you on Wednesday.

As entrepreneurs, we are all boldly experimenting with new things constantly. Some people have failed on an epic scale; some others are making small mistakes on a daily basis.  What does failure mean to us? Well, I am sure we can all look at it differently, either positively or negatively.  As a blogger, I learned to summarize my lessons frequently, which lets me produce high-value content and attract more loyal readers.  I’ve even written a blog post about these lessons.

I stumbled across this following video the other day.  J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, delivers her Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination” (Harvard Magazine) at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association.  Watch this 21 minute long video below:

Having watched this video twice so far, here are the 6 biggest lessons I have learned from JK’s speech.  As a blogger and entrepreneur, here is what I have to say:

1. Failure is inevitable for anybody who is willing to take risks or take a chance.

2. Learning to enjoy failure is not easy. But once we have mastered that skill, life starts to become more interesting.

3. Aim high.  Always stretch your imagination and match it with the reality.

4. Have a positive mental attitude on matter what happens.

5. Don’t let your dreams fly away in front of fears.

6. Always summarize lessons after you fail, so you won’t fall down at the same place again.

Finally, let me close this post with a quote from rocky balboa: “life ain’t about how hard you hit… It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.”  Let us know your point of view about failure in the comment.

As I sat on the edge of my seat watching the highly anticipated State of the Union Address the other night, I was reminded that though there is talk of recession in the economy, oppression in the job market and many other potential world issues that this absolutely is the best time for entrepreneurs to triumph and conquer success.

Among many other techniques, I believe there is one way if used right, that can have a large impact on that victory. Subsequently I was proposed the question, “ Why and how should entrepreneurs leverage social media and technology for their success?” I loved this question, not because the answer was somewhat of an obvious one but because it immediately gave me the opportunity to truly tap into the actual volume social media/technology currently holds. As well as how necessary it is for an entrepreneur of today to be in tune with all forms of social media and technology. We live in a time where the internet is no longer just a tool for information but it is a way of life. As an entrepreneur, engaging in these social medias you have a greater chance of getting that foot in the door or even allowing someone of importance to recognize you and your business/product. Now this is not to say that if you belong to a million social media sites that you’re guaranteed an automatic million dollar deal. The amount of energy that you put into technology still needs to be complimented by other necessary leg work to get the most fulfillments of success.

But as I stated previously, when used in the right way social media can be a great instrument for networking, promotion, marketing, and can assist you in attaining knowledge about your industry. You can create and manage a blog where you generate and express your own creativeness and opinions. You can keep in touch by tweeting as well as follow up with other professionals by traditional email and/or text message, upload podcasts and footage on YouTube, and you can join some of the hundreds and counting social networking sites that are out there. Essentially if you can find your way to a computer, a smart phone or any other useful form of technology, the opportunities can be endless. Some of the best perks of connecting with social media is that it can be working for you while you’re away from the internet, you can control the content and information that you post, and you can link to as many other corresponding social media forums that you want. There is a great saying that simply exemplifies those last statements, “Your network equals your net worth.”

As entrepreneurs you know having a business and selling yourself in a certain field takes very hard work and determination. I believe the same approach you take with your business should be taken with social media and technology. When using social media, you are affecting perception and representing yourself so you would want to be professional and put your best foot forward at all times. Also, do your research and don’t forget to ask for help if you’re not that savvy with where to begin. So, if you haven’t already, start your engines, go out into the World Wide Web and get on the road to social media. Finally good luck and continue to challenge yourselves.

As social media tools become more mainstream, companies of all sizes are eager to adapt to this new trend in their corporate strategies.  Living and breathing social media everyday, I’ve found, in particular, several false and misleading  assumptions that most CEOs or entrepreneurs hold about social media marketing.  While social media signifies a completely different way of communication and socialization, its role can not be overstated.  This article reveals ten common myths of social media that usually lead to false expectations and poorly executed corporate plans.

1. All social media tools are free

In my opinion, this statement is way too general.  We can interpret the meaning of this sentence in many different ways depending on the angle we look at it.  Twitter and Facebook do not charge its members for using the service.  In that sense, it is, indeed, free, or free of charge.  However, time weighs heavier than money for most entrepreneurs. Social media can easily take away hours of your valuable time that you could have used productively to do something else that would contribute to your company’s bottom line.  If this is the case, social media is costly, especially considering it’s highly addictive for certain people.

2. You must dominate your market on all major social networks

Some people are under the impression that the more social networks you involve, the faster your business will grow. While this belief may sound logical, it’s simply not realistic because of the limited time and resources everybody has.  Dominating your market on a single network may already prove to be a daunting task, not to mention several. Here is how I handle this situation. I predominately use Twitter as my marketing tool. On the side, I set up Facebook pages, YouTube and Flickr accounts, etc., but only on supplemental basis.  Besides, if my messages goes viral on Twitter, one of my followers may Digg it, or bookmark it on Delicious. That is how my message spreads to other networks without me getting involved in it.

3. You can do everything by yourself

While you have the capacity to do everything by yourself, be prepared it’s extremely time consuming and involves a huge amount of self-learning.  On the other hand, it’s better to use your time efficiently to do the things you are good at.  For example, if you have a blog but you are not familiar with Photoshop, the best option is to hire a graphic designer to do the logo and site layout for you.  This way, you can work on more important things such as writing articles which provide good content.

4. Your site can attract a good amount of traffic within months

If you have a blog or website, chances are you already know it takes time to build your following.  It’s rarely a succeed-overnight story, unless you already are a celebrity.  In order to take your site to the next level, here is the correct formula: Success = Content + Links + Hard Work + Discipline.

5. Just be social, and success will come

Given the literal meaning of “social media,” it’s not uncommon to hear advice that goes like: “You must be social and proactive in order to stand out from your social media peers.”  Well, all I can say is social media comprises of people with a variety of backgrounds.  Sometimes, strategies are more important than personalities.  The key word here is “Relationship.”  Relationship is the thing that bonds you together with your target market audience.  Fortunately, there are many other ways you can build good relationships on social networks even though you are not a social person.

6. Just provide good content, and people will find it

There is not doubt that content is the king.  But without links, you are not getting all the Google juice.  In order to increase your presence on different social networks, you must have the correct marketing strategies.  No matter how good your content is, it means nothing if people can’t find it.  Good marketing and PR strategies are indispensable to make your content findable.  My recommendation of reading: The New Rules of Marketing & PR

7. You must monetize your sites in an early stage

Monetization may be a good motivational factor for people to own a website, but monetizing your site too early may actually backfire.  Here is why. Monetization only works when your site has a good amount of traffic.  Most sites won’t have a lot of traffic at the beginning stage.  Even worse, too many banner ads may turn your visitors off.  Some of them will never return again.

8. Social media is all you need for your marketing strategies

This one is the worst mistake.  It has the most devastating consequences.  Social media never equals marketing.  Period. It is just a good and cheap tool to facilitate your marketing department to increase it target market reach.  Every company needs to have a budget for marketing campaigns and other advertising needs.  If you use Google Adwords, that’s even more costs you should take into account.

9. The YouTube Myth

Do you have to make a YouTube video and make it go viral?  Absolutely not.  The truth is most videos ever created and uploaded to YouTube never surpass 100 views.  The videos you watch daily on YouTube are those outliers that have made its presence to YouTube’s “front page”.  Depending on the nature of your business and the resources you possess, video marketing can be something optional.

10. The Twitter Myth

Twitter is the latest buzz word in social media.  I’ve read many articles that claim the essential role that Twitter plays in our daily life.  Yes, it is powerful.  This has proven to be true given my own example.  My blog and networking website couldn’t have gained so much traffic without my presence on Twitter.  But, is Twitter for everybody?  Perhaps not.  Twitter is a microblogging tool that requires you update your status daily, sometimes even multiple times a day in order to build relationships with your followers.  That said, if you don’t think this is something you can commit your time to, don’t even start in the first place.

Please feel free to let us know your opinions on these ten myths.  Do you have any new ones to add?

If you have been following WebStudio13 for the last year, you probably already know that I organize a business networking group in NYC called NY Entrepreneurs Business Network (NYEBN).  Not only do we organize quality/free networking events for all NYEBN members, we also give seminars intended to educate entrepreneurs on how to leverage social media and other technology tools.  To my surprise, the group has been going through a major expansion in the past 8 months.  Now we have attracted over 3,200 entrepreneurs representative of a variety of industries.  In 2010, we’ve decided to implement an array of new programs to make NYEBN even a better place for all entrepreneurs and business owners.  Primarily, here are the 5 things we plan on implementing for our group in 2010:

1.  Stick to 2 networking events per month

Our networking events generally have a turnout between 300 and 600 people.  We do networking events biweekly at different high-end NYC venues.  The venues that we feature are typically made available for us exclusively from 6-10 PM on a weekday night.  Check out the last event at 230 Fifth rooftop where we had the largest turnout (about 622 confirmed RSVPs) since the start of the group.

2. Give More Seminars Related to Social Media and Technology

Last year, we had featured all types of speakers from a variety of industries, including personal development, sales, marketing, etc. Given the importance of modern technology, we decide to do more seminars in the social media and technology fields.  Check out our next startup event at Microsoft where a dozen of tech startups will give their best pitch in front of a panel of VCs.  Also I will interview the Meetup founder Scott Heiferman on the 3rd week of February.  Check it out here.

3. Reward NYEBN Members for Bringing in New Members

We’ve launched an affiliate program starting from 1/1/2010.   By actively participating in the affiliate program, there are quite a few benefits NYEBN members are able to enjoy:

• Network with a bigger pool of business professionals and build relationships with them;
• Gain more exposure in the local market for your own business;
• More opportunities to learn in a diversified entrepreneurial environment;
• More ability to attract highly qualified sponsors and partners to offer incentives for our group members and back up NYEBN so it continually provides free networking opportunities;
• etc…

4. Develop More Opportunities for NYEBN Members to Stay Connected

NYEBN now has developed several powerful alternative networks where its members can bond and stay connected.  Here are three examples:

• NYEBN on Meetup
• NYEBN on Facebook
• NYEBN on Twitter

More NYEBN networks will be formed in the future.  For now, if you wish to attend NYEBN’s free events, this one is a must to sign up for.

5. Create More NYEBN Branded Products So Our Members Have A Sense of Belonging

At NYEBN, we are always trying to create something beyond the average.  I am very proactive when it comes to creativity.  For our members, here are two NYEBN-branded products that I have created in the past.  More to come in the future.

This Week in Startups

If you are a podcast fan, you probably have heard of This Week in Startups (a.k.a. TWiST), hosted by Jason Calacanis.  I first heard of TWiST on Leo Laporte’s This Week in Tech.  After watching the 1st episode, I just got hooked on it.  This Week in Startups has great value for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses.

For each episode, Jason interviews a CEO of a startup, or other Internet celebrities.  If you have a startup or try to raise funds for your company, this is a great show you wouldn’t want to miss.  Plus, Jason is a great entrepreneur from New York, which is probably another reason why I keep watching the show.  Having watched certain episodes repeatedly, I want to share 6 classic TWiST episodes with WebStudio13 readers. Here are the names of the guests appearing in each of these 7 episodes. You can click on the link to read more about each guest.

Keys to Entrepreneurial Success

As a budding entrepreneur, I certainly enjoy the freedom of doing the things I like with maximum productivity. Although people have different perceptions about what makes a successful entrepreneur, the key to entrepreneurial success, by my definition, has always been the same, which is to fully utilize the resources available and create something from nothing through hard work.  Especially in the digital age, there are 10 important components that determine the success of any given entrepreneurs.  Let’s walk through them one by one in this article.

1. Get Connected through Social Networks

Becoming a social connector in the Web 2.0 era means more trusts and more credibility.  Chris Brogan has fully illustrated this concept in his book “Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust.”  If you have a business in certain niche area, you should be using social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, to educate your target market why what you offer is valuable and why they should trust you.  In general, contemporary entrepreneurs would succeed much faster if they knew how to gain leverage through various social networks which are, more often than not, freely made available for everybody.

2. Read Blogs

No one knows everything.  We are often hurt by what we don’t know.  Information is crucial in the 21st century.  One great way to keep yourself up-to-date with the buzz is by reading blogs.  There are a few reasons why this appears to be important for entrepreneurs.  To name a few:

• Blogs are updated often and on time
• Blogs are free to read (You need the Internet access)
• Blogs allow comments, which, in turn, offer you free feedback

To find out what blogs I recommend for entrepreneurs, click here.

3. Read Books

Reading blogs is not a complete replacement for reading books yet.  Amazon is still one of my favorite places to purchase books.  Check out following articles for books I recommend for entrepreneurs:

• 10 Books Every Entrepreneur Should Read
• Top 10 Web 2.0 Guide Books You Do Not Want to Miss on Amazon

4. Use Google Tools

Google is, no doubt, one of the greatest Web 2.0 companies in history.  As an entrepreneur, you have to know how to use a variety of Google tools to manage your tasks (Google Doc & Google Calendar), monitor your reputation (Google Alert), better communicate with others (Google Voice), etc.  I am a fan of Google’s products (who isn’t?).  Check out this article to find out more efficiency-boosting Google tools.

5. Become a Networking Expert

The more contacts you know in your industry, the more options you have.  Attending high quality networking events is a must for all entrepreneurs if you want to get connected.  I know this fact because I have been organizing events for the past year and so.  I’ve witnessed in person how the right person at the right time can save a company and turn it around sometimes.  When it comes to finding high quality events, no places are better than Meetup.  Check out your local meetup groups.  I am sure you can find something you like.

6. Attend Conferences/Seminars/Workshops

Just like reading books, attending conferences or seminars gives you the opportunity to interact with experts in your field personally. You also have a good chance to meet other peers attending the events and bounce off a few ideas with them.  Most importantly, a conference/seminar environment forces you to learn in a way you otherwise would have set yourself loose if you were by yourself.

7. Use Different Publishing Platforms

Learn how to use blogs and Twitter to write and share your thoughts.  Nobody should expect to sell directly to their target market audience by using these tools.  What they can use it for is to cultivate meaningful relationships which eventually lead to trust.  And as we know, trust sells.

8. Do Press Releases

Nowadays, as long as you have something newsworthy, anybody can do press releases.  As an entrepreneur, it makes sense for you to do PR to get more exposure for your business.  There is a very well-written article on Entrepreneur.com that reveals some simple how-tos when it comes to constructing an attention getting press release.

9. Get Feedback

Nobody can succeed the first time they do something.  Especially for entrepreneurs, it’s a trial and error process.  During this process, you must have a mechanism of getting repeat feedback from your target market audience.  As an example, I receive many different comments from my entrepreneur group members every time I finished organizing an event.  Their comments and ratings may not always be accurate, but they can offer some good hints for how to organize the next event differently.  On my blog, there will be people commenting on my articles from time to time, both positively and negatively.  From my perspective, all these messages serve for a simple yet common purpose, which is to make me do better next time.

10. Online Resources

There are tons of other resources online via which you can learn more about entrepreneurship.  Remember, you don’t know what you don’t know.  This is a self-discovery process.  You must be able to explore different resources on a daily basis to make yourself a stronger entrepreneur.  Here are a couple of resources I have to share:

• 10 of the Best Social Media Tools for Entrepreneurs
• A Dozen of the Best Start Up Pitches on the Web
• Essential Online Tools for Your Startup
• Young Entrepreneur Resources
