DISQUS

One of the problems I always thought about starting entrepreneurialism young was the fact the I looked even younger, when I was 16 I looked 14, and no-one would take me seriously.

Great interview! It was refreshing to hear Benjamin speaking so honestly about what was and wasnt working for him online.

I can't stand tiwtter users who post every minute. They take up all your screen and you miss everyone elses tweets. I usually unfollow them.

I havn't really focused on making money from my blog as much as just growing it at the moment, but am in the process of creating my first product for sale. It is definately a challenging but fun process!

That escapa is so addictive! Im not gonna go and play cause i need some sleep :D

I totally agree with your branding point! This is something that should be the foundation of your website/blog/company and therefore should never really get changed at all! Im not talking marketing material but your brand - how people see you!

Nice wallpapers. I am a massive fan of the Lamborghini, so I'm considering snagging that one for my background.

I don't use any auto DM tools, but I still personally DM all new followers. It is a great conversion tool :D

What a great little plug-in. I am going to make use of it now!

Really nice twitter background! If I had seen it earlier I would have added it to my latest post about bloggers with great Twitter backgrounds!

I have only just got into twitter and I'm already starting to see amazing benefits. I agree, this post is fantastic overview of the concept of Twitter.

Funny how our most successful posts are not the ones we plan for but the ones that just happen.

Reading aloud is an awesome suggestion! It always seems to sound right in your head but when you read it aloud you find a heap of mistakes.

Hopefully you are making some nice affiliate commission from this :D

I think I am signed up with them, but haven't had any ad requests yet. Are you making any money from them yet?

For me, interviews are mainly about motivation and inspiration. As you read about other achieving their goals, you cannot help but consider that you might be able to do the same.

That is a fantastic way of looking at it! I pity the person who never tries for fear of failure!

Now if only Shoemoney could spell affiliate :P

I have a keen interest in writing and hope to eventually become a published author so reading this interview was very inspiring and refreshing! thanks :D

My blog post inspiration usually just comes from everyday life. Something happens and I think 'hey I could relate this to blogging'...haha

Im loving the new logo. Nice and clean :D

Fantastic video! I only just posted a video about turning failure into success the other day. Must be a hot topic :P

I think sometimes we set our expectations so high that they are constantly disappointing themselves. We are all humans, so I agree just apologise and move one!

wow. I hadn't even heard of half of these :P
