Bootstrapper Notes

Free Wordtracker Keyword Guide

I just stumbled across something pretty unique that I thought I would pass along in case you missed it.  I had not been over to Wordtracker for awhile, I tend to do keyword research in big batches for several sites in one day.

So today I noticed that they have a new site design that is pretty nice looking.  I also stumbled across a free report called the Keyword Research Guide.  What they have done is create a fiction company and have several "experts" write about how to best use the keywords from several different vantage points.  It is FREE and is pretty interesting, I actually learned a thing or two from the report.

So when you get some time, I would recommend you stop by Wordtracker and pick it up.

Seth Godin on Bootstrapping a Business

Yesterday I ordered an ebook from Amazon written by Seth Godin called The Bootstrappers Bible: Volume 1 If you are not familiar with Seth Godin you really should read up on him, and read some of his writing.

This is the first book I have read by Seth, and I have to say it is fascinating.  It is delivered in PDF format, so I quickly printed it out and punched it for my 3 ring binder where I keep other PDF books I have purchased.

What makes this book interesting is that it really deals with any business that you are trying to bootstrap, no matter how big it is now, or how many employees you have or plan to have.  It really is a road map that brings to the forefront many critical issues that you can run into while trying to bootstrap a business.

The interesting thing is that Seth donates 50% of the sale, which is his entire share, to charity.  I heartedly recommend it!
