Cash Cab Method: Simple Saying To Increase Sales by 57%

by Chris Brisson on Mar 17,2010

For the last 5 days I’ve been hanging out with some really cool marketers, internet entrepreneurs, and some good friends over at Yanik Silver’s Underground 6 Event here in National Harbor, MD. Apparently, National Harbor is only 2 years old and kinda like a new haven convention center town, full of in and outer’s each and every night. Needless to say… very cool place.

So when I booked my plane ticket two months ago for this event, I didn’t realize that I had booked it for Dulles airport. Turns out, Dulles is about an hour away from the Gaylor Convention Center. I tend to do that sometimes, just book a flight and not really worry about how far it is. I’ve done that on many occasions especially in California. Try it sometime, it’s nice to drive around and see the town.

The Reality of Getting a REAL Job

by Chris Brisson on Jan 25,2010

I just got an email from Owen Frager about this short movie called Lemonade. It’s about “being fired.”

Here’s a comment that Abraham Anaya said about the film…

“This shows that having just a “job” doesn’t take us anywhere. We have blended or we are used to, as a society, that the idea of having a job in corporate America will take us somewhere. That the main purpose of going to college is to find a “good job.” I think that is not true. As a soon-to-be graduate senior, taking my last semester, at university level, I have found out, during these 5 years and a half, what I will like to do in my life. Not to find a “good job” but what I really love to do and that pays me well.”

Welcome to 2010!

It’s just going to get worse folks.

this is a pretty cool and inspiring video I just came across. Makes you think about the simple mundane things in life that with a little “thinking” can be fun, exciting, and mind-blowing (in a way).

Ultimate Integration Marketing: Firefox Add-on's

by Chris Brisson on Aug 19,2009

Pure injection of Integration Marketing

So I got my new Macbook Pro a couple of weeks ago and I have yet to setup my add-on’s for Firefox. I’ve been using Safari because it’s so clean but it doesn’t have the awesome plugins that firefox does.

Anyhow, so I’m going through the firefox add-on’s section and noticing huge amounts of traffic and weekly downloads for these add-on’s.

For example…
