Chicken Plucking

I came across this great article from Copyblogger.  I highly recommend this entertaining article.  I get the articles published on Copyblogger via email and this is the most entertaining one I have come across so far.  I think his reflections of growing up on a farm and plucking chickens might stir similar remembrances among you.

Copyblogger is an excellent resource for people who write material for the Internet.  I would also recommend them if you are an entrepreneur or just interested in writing.  They have excellent resources on copywriting, SEO writing, and writing landing pages.  I did find some interesting material on making money online through their website Teaching Sells, but it isn’t their strength.  Let me know what you think about this article or share your memories of farm life in our comments section.

The Workplace 2.0

Read this entry to learn how to improve employee relations while reducing HR costs.  I was reflecting today on how unstable corporate life is these days and how easy it is to work for yourself.  Companies, big and small, need to adapt to a changing work environment or lose their best employees to the Internet businesses which give them the stability and flexibility they want. Fortunately there are great tools you can use, to hire and retain the best employees.  If you are interested in your own consultation contact me at john”at”budnikgroup.com.

In my previous entry, I wrote about Daryn Kagan.  After 12 years at CNN, her contract was not renewed.  While they were looking for a “fresh face”, she found a second career online. Now Ms. Kagan has control of her own career, launching her own online content, producing two documentaries and writing a book in less than two years.  When asked why she didn’t just take another job in television, she said that given the way the traditional news business is shrinking, she’d be more scared to have taken another job in television.

CNN’s Daryn Kagan… Media Mogel

I have become very interested in online marketing. With over a billion people online, it is becoming easier to build one’s business online. More and more, businesses are looking to their online platform to create a significant portion of their revenue. This was my critique of expert networks was that most don’t seem to acknowledge this shift. However, former CNN anchor Daryn Kagan shows that it is foolish to rely on traditional companies for steady income and how you can take back your career using your website.

More and more, we have to take control of our own earning potential. In my upcoming case study, I will show you how Ms. Kagan took back her career using online tools that you can use today. “I don’t have a Web site,” she says now. “I have a media company.” Learn how to think of yourself as a profitable organization and about her new book “What’s Possible!” on my website www.budnikgroup.com/darynkagan.
