Who Said That? Friday January 25th, 2008
We close out each week with our “Who Said That?,” where we give some link love to bloggers who have really captured our attention with their inspiring and thought provoking posts.
Let’s get started!
How I Almost Let Fear Stop Me From Accepting a $4,000 Engagement
Stephen tells an incredible story of overcoming his fear of a major challenge in his post “How I Almost Let Fear Stop Me From Accepting A $4,000 Engagement.” This goes to show that even motivational speakers that talk on the topic of overcoming adversity still have challenges with fear! If anyone hasn’t felt this - well then they haven’t challenged themselves enough!
I think that we constantly limit our growth out of fear of stepping outside of our comfort zone. Stephen takes us behind the scenes of how this opportunity outside of his comfort zone surfaced, the turmoil he faced, and what gave him the courage to push past the fear and give an outstanding presentation (and also make a $4,000!) This post makes me wonder what opportunities I’m pushing out of my life by not being open to new challenges outside of my own comfort zone.
How I Gave Away 15 Minutes and Made $5700
Mason gives us a behind the scenes play by play of a decision he made (though he was hesitant at first) that landed him lots of business quickly in the early days of Smart Fuel. Best of all, this move cost him nothing but a little bit of his time. Before this discovery, Smart Fuel was just barely getting off the ground and Mason was struggling with how to get new business.
Mason also shares a $700 marketing investment that he thought would bring a lot of business but turned out to generate zero business or traffic.
Getting Creative With Adwords
Wow! This idea blew me away. This is perhaps the best idea for creating a catchy Adwords campaign that I’ve every seen. I think the pictures speak for themselves…
I hope these great blogs give you lots of creative ideas to fuel your weekend!

Wow, thanks for turning linklove into a visuallyi attractive event! I was surprised to see a snapshot of my blog with the article on your site. I really appreciate the lovelink.
I also love the blue icon - it’s so pretty and eye-catching.
Lastly but not least, I enjoyed reading Small Fuel Marketing’s article about how he made $5700 in return for 15 minutes of his time. I ended up subscribing to his site and leaving a comment. It was a gem of an article!
Thanks again!!
p.s.
How did you create such an attractive snapshot and manage to wriggle it onto your blog?
Could you give us pointers on exactly how to do this because if you do, you’ll start a trend on a different way of pimping other bloggers.
Stephen,
Check out ScreenGrab! and FireShot…both add-ons for Firefox.
Then you load it into your favorite photo editor and crop it to your preferred size.
Thanks but I have IE7, not Firefox. Any other tips about capturing snapshots of other people’s websites?
Hey Stephen,
I believe that all keyboards have a print screen
key. Located in the upper row, next one
over from the F12. Make sure the cursor is out
of the way, and hit the Print Screen.
That will grab a snap shot of the screen.
You can then paste it in a graphics program
for cropping to size.
