100 Must See Interviews With the World's Most Successful Entrepreneurs At Under30CEO we think big. We recently published a list of our Top 50 Most Motivational People on the web and things got a little nuts. The article created incredible buzz all over the web and most importantly we fired up our audience to go out and make something happen. As young entrepreneurs it’s important that we keep swinging for the fences. Super successful investors like Ron Conway say they’d rather invest in an 18 year old Mark Zuckerberg than a 31 year old seasoned entrepreneur because the young Sean Parker types truly think the sky is the limit.

3 Freelancing Flubs To Avoid As You Start Your Career inShare19 Freelancing seems easy: you take a skill you already have down pretty well and offer to use that skill for any client who comes along. You get paid for the hours you work and, if you need to adapt your freelancing schedule to an employer or a family, you just take on the work that you can manage. But right now, there are a lot of new freelancers out there, looking to fill gaps between jobs or even looking to permanently cut loose from the employment game. Big Mistake: Thinking that You Just Need to Be Available Despite the warm fuzzies that you might get from watching Field of Dreams, Hollywood is pretty much the only place where building anything is enough to get people to come to you. You do need to build ways for clients to find you, like a professional website. Big Mistake: Not Thinking Like a Business Owner The moment you hang up your freelancing shingle, you are (legally speaking) a business owner. Big Mistake: Not Acting Like a Professional

They are normally too busy taking care of customers and other parts of the sales and service model. Chocolate Covered Grasshoppers: An Example of a Viral Re-Brand A few days ago, Lisa Barone wrote an article about the need to tell your story about your business, using social media tools. One of the examples she mentioned was the re-branding of virtual switchboard and voice mail services provider, GotVMail, to Grasshopper. She noted: “Earlier this week, 5,000 influential marketers were sent chocolate covered grasshoppers to snack on and blog about. The grasshoppers were blogged, tweeted, and linked to all over the Web. It was a viral marketing campaign used to get the company attention and to tell people what Grasshopper.com was all about. I happened to be one of those so-called “influential marketers” who received a package of the chocolate-covered grasshoppers. The office mail clerk (ahem… my husband) announced it came from a company called Grasshopper. Here’s a close-up of the package of chocolate-covered grasshoppers. The package label sends you to a URL where you can watch a video, at I won’t be eating them though.

Alternate reality game An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. Subsequently, it is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers, as opposed to being controlled by artificial intelligence as in a computer or console video game. Definition[edit] There is a great deal of debate surrounding the characteristics by which the term "alternate reality game" should be defined.

Unique terminology[edit] Among the terms essential to understand discussions about ARGs are: Computer/console/video games. Influences and precursors[edit]
