Miles caught my attention in an interview that he did with Andrew Wee. With the help of Twitter, again, I am able to connect with him. He is a very kind person and in fact, despite his experience and authority in the field, he is willing to help and share his tips with new affiliates and Internet marketers.

In this interview, Miles Baker provided a lot of golden nuggets on how affiliate marketers like me can take their business to the next level, why you should work prior to becoming your own boss and the mindset required for success in business as well as in your life.

Jared O’Toole and Matt Wilson is working on a new project called Factor77, an information portal and social networking site targeting entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Jared O'Toole Matt Wilson

Jared and Matt got my attention when both of them interacted with me on Twitter (yes, it’s Twitter again :mrgreen: ). I then joined Under30CEO, which is a social networking site for young entrepreneurs that they were running at that time.

Although Under30CEO never really took off as compared to other similar social networking sites, I expect Factor77, with a new concept, to become a better interaction avenue for entrepreneurs, small business owners and experts in this field.

Our conversation revolves around entrepreneurship, how Jared and Matt got started, Factor77 as well as some tips on partnering with someone for a venture. I know you are eager so let’s get it rolling! ;)

Social media marketing is just different in terms of tools you use and how you are pulling your prospects towards you instead of you blasting your marketing message into their face.

There are a few marketing basics or marketing principles that will remain even if you have decided to place more weight on social media marketing in your small business marketing plan.
