Founded in a Copenhagen loft by three thirty-something friends looking to break free from corporate doldrums, Zendesk Inc. is now one of the hottest enterprise software companies, still rapidly growing with customers in 150 countries. But its success was anything but predestined. With revealing stories both funny and frank, Mikkel shares how he and his friends bravely left secure jobs to start something on their own, how he almost went broke several times, how they picked up themselves and their families to travel across the world to California and the unknown, and how the three friends were miraculously still together for Zendesk’s IPO and (still growing) success.

April 4 -- On today's "Bloomberg West" the focus is on innovation, technology, media and the future of business. Hosted by Emily Chang with Editor-at-Large Cory Johnson and Senior Correspondent Jon Erlichman from Bloomberg's San Francisco studio, it showcases the personalities, companies and trends that are transforming the global economy. Watch this video for an in-depth discussion and demonstration on how and where the Facebook Home application will be used.....

Facebook Home aspires to change the mobile phone experience at large, even though it's not an operating system!  

The Facebook Home application is designed to completely take over the home screen of smartphones. This will not be a typical app where you have to search for it, tap on it, and wait for it to open up so you can use it. Facebook Home will come to life the second you visit your smartphone's home screen! The initial phones to roll out will only cost $99. HTC and Samsung will be early adopters. Apple's iPhone is said to also be in line to implement Facebook Home on its devices! Watch the video below for a full in-depth discussion (with clips from Mark Zuckerberg himself) on how and why he decided to implement the Facebook Home technology the way he did. Said Mark Zuckerberg, "Just building a new operating system would limit what we want to do with this technology."

Want to know the secret?

Well, here's the answer: CONTENT! CONTENT! CONTENT! Good content gets your site ranked high on Google in 2013! If you want to get good ranking, you should write good content about things you love to write about, and write often. 

What does that mean??? 

In the past, even only a year ago, people were able to trick the search engines by using clever tactics to make their sites look more important. But nowadays, with Google's latest Panda update, much more intelligent algorithms are in place to catch websites using those old methods, flagging those sites as "spam" and pretty much ending their chances of ever being discovered by the masses. And no one wants that, right? So just publish GOOD content to your site(s) often and interested readers will find your site and share your content to their friends further showing search engines how important your website is.

But I don't have time to do that?!

Well, here's a quick way to get it done. A great method of accomplishing this task is to set aside one hour a day out of an entire week -- say on Sunday or Wednesday -- and write for one hour, max, about something you're very excited about. Publish that post to your blog/website, and repeat this routine for a month straight. As you get more comfortable with this pattern, add a day, making it one hour a day for two days a week. Before you know it, you will have plenty of great new content on your website, which will attract a steady flow of new readers/visitors/subscribers who will spread your content all over the web, and the search engines will love you for it!

Please share your thoughts on this below. We'd love to hear you feedback! If you've experienced a boost in your site's traffic due to increasing your site's content, we'd love to hear about it! 

Thanks, and much success!

Here are a few things you'll need before you start creating your blog:

You'll need a domain name if you don't already have one.

So here's a 50% off discount with GoDaddy! - http://x.co/hEkV

Once you get your domain name (or a few, b/c if you get more than 6 you'll get free Privacy for a year...and Privacy is important) then you'll need to host your website blog somewhere.

GoDaddy may allow you to host your website/blog on their servers for free, but you'll be limited to how much storage space you'll have available for files (pics, vids, etc). Depending on how big you want your blog to be -- how many photos/video clips you want to include in your posts -- you may want to purchase a hosting account so you'll have virtually unlimited storage space.

Here's a discount coupon for Host Gator, one of the best hosting services on the net:

Now you can start building your WordPress site for free!
(instructions on how to setup and operate WordPress are listed below)

You'll want to use a professionally made theme design for your blog. You don't want to use a free theme b/c they all look "free" and you don't want your readers thinking your blog is generic. The more professional and nice looking your blog, the better and the more readers will enjoy visiting it and reading your stuff, which could mean more money in your pockets.

And having a professional theme doesn't have to cost you a lot of money either. I've gone through and tested all of the most popular WordPress themes packages by evaluating their ease of use, their cost, and the amount of choices in designs they give you for one price. And from my experience, Elegant Themes offers the best deal for your buck!

How to publish an eBook on Kindle and actually make money from it has always been a skill I wanted to harness and succeed in. There's just one thing, before jumping head first into an expensive training course on How to Publish an eBook, I figured I'd see what information I could learn from other great authors and Entrepreneurs who have already gone down that road to see what kind of resources, product reviews, and tips they could share. And I found quite a bit of extremely resourceful information! I've listed them below so your convenience!

Pawel Reszka does a great job walking you through the steps in Creating an eBook and Publishing it on Kindle and how to make money from it. He covers 8 steps ranging from how to write your first eBook, choosing the topic, designing the cover, publishing your eBook to the Kindle Network, to getting reviews on it. This is a great breakdown of the step-by-step process! No fluff here, just the facts!  

Paul Jun also does a wonderful job explaining this process in his Ultimate Guide To Publishing Your eBook on Amazon's Kindle Platform. Paul has a 7 step procedure to publishing your eBook to the Kindle Network. Paul explains how to define your target audience, creating a Table of Contents (TOC), what tools you'll need before formatting your eBook, royalties, and so much more. Great resource for anyone aspiring to publish their eBook(s) on the Kindle network! Awesome information!

And for all the fellow Bloggers out there, the very knowledgeable Laura Roeder does a brilliant job at explaining How to Get Exposure for Your Blogs Using the Kindle Team. Laura teaches you about the importance of Social Proof and how valuable that is for your blog, your website, and your overall brand. Great stuff!

To test the speed of your site, use the free tool from Pingdom. It's great, it gives you a break down of what's slowing your site(s) down. And it compares the speed of your site with others its tested in the past. Pingdom gives your site(s) a grade score, and shows you what you should do to improve its speed. I've used several tools on the internet to test site speeds, and Pingdom is by far the easiest to use, gives the best readouts, and offers the easiest to understand advice for correcting any issues your site may have.

GTMetrix is also a nice site to test the speed of your website. Where GTMetrix differs from Pingdom is GTMetrix actually allows you to compare the speed of your site with another site side-by-side. It also gives a grade for performance using metrics from YSlow as well. GTMetrix also offers a plugin for WordPress users.

Another cool website seed tester is WhichLoadsFaster. The only drawback to this site is it gets its data from another site, GTMetrix, which I'd use over WhichLoadsFaster anyway. But don't get me wrong, WhichLoadsFaster is great for a quick speed dual between two sites who's load times you were always curious about. Their results literally get displayed side-by-side by placing screenshots of their Home Pages next to each other. Cool. But as mentioned before, when you do a little further to get more in-depth information as to why one site performs better over the other site, WhichLoadsFaster connects you to GTMetrix for the bottom line data readout.
