At the risk of freaking out certain people in our office (no names mentioned; OK, hi Bianca!) I shared this video which is in turns creepy and incredibly beautiful. Not to mention an object lesson in the wisdom of staying away from shiny objects! Not to worry, though: this roundup may glow in the dark, but is definitely NOT laced with cyanide! And with that, it’s time once more for our weekly Roundup!

One of the most popular and least successful models I see in new business plans for startups is the so-called Facebook model, providing free services to users while collecting revenue from ads to offset costs and grow the business. To make this work, you need heavy traffic on your site -- probably at least a million page views per month -- which most sites never achieve in their lifetimes.

At one point or another, we all need some form of help, but very few of us really know how to ask for it in the right way. And if you don’t ask in the right way, you risk coming off as selfish or as if it doesn’t really matter in the first place. Getting the help you know you need really comes down to being an effective communicator when asking for that help.

People with real creativity – whether its the ability to come up with creative ideas, or execute them – always inspire me. So when I heard about what my friend, Steve Nedvidek , was up to with a project he calls, Jekyll Island Chronicles , I just had to ask him more about it. And because I get so inspired by these kinds of creative pursuits, I thought I’d share it here for others to get inspired.

I’m fortunate that I don’t have to travel all that much for work because I don’t particularly enjoy waiting for an airplane to take off. Recently, I had to get a ride to the airport though and I decided to try out Uber for the first time. I pulled up the app and saw on my iPhone screen three little black cars driving near my current location.

One of the biggest challenges of running Content Marketing is that it’s often hard to measure success. Because success is directly co-related to your goals and comparisons or publicly known industry data may be irrelevant to your brand/product type. However, there are still some key engagement metrics that you need to map to learn how to measure your content or social engagement.
