Get PAID to Move...

Apparently Maine and Tulsa are so desperate to bring in young people they will pay you to move there.

Did you hear about the fight for the new Amazon headquarters? Dozens of cities representatives across the USA sent Amazon weird gifts and videos to entice them to bring Amazon to their town. This is being touted as a smaller version of that. 

If you’re a “creative” and willing to give Tulsa a shot... they will give you $10,000, a free apartment downtown, and a coworking space. It comes with a few restrictions... but younger me probably would’ve been tempted.

In Maine, they’ll pay off young people’s student loans (over time) if you move there. 

Apparently, Newton, Iowa also has an incentive program but it’s for new home buyers and builders.


Have you heard of similar incentives from city planning committees?

12 Strong Movie Review

12 Strong Movie Review

This was a heart wrenching high action movie about 12 men who went into Afghanistan to try to end terrorism on the United States. It showed men fighting on horses in a war that seemed out of place. Men who became unlikely allies. If you watch this movie, you will likely be surprised at the tone, because it's not overly dramatic or sad.

I recommend this movie and give it a solid 5 stars. I loved it and left with a newfound respect for those men and love for our soldiers. It is sad to know what is going on around the world right now, the courage and compassion that these men show. Plus Chris Hemsworth plays the lead role.

Building a small business tech q and a


More details on the items discussed: http://bit.ly/2njuxuy Business IT Q&A I am looking to start a conversation via video podcasts to connect my friends and business contacts. The podcast will initially be centered around answering IT questions in my wheelhouse. Topic Ideas: personal branding, building a business online, how to sell things online, social media management, SEO (search engine optimization), websites, BI (business intelligence), AI (artificial intelligence), front-end development, UX (user experience) and machine learning. I’d like to introduce my friends who have small businesses, start the conversation rolling and see where this goes. Thinking a video once a week (until I start podcasting and more by request) next one at 4PM on Friday. If you have questions, feedback, or topic ideas please leave me a comment!!! Information mentioned in this weeks video: Top Website Platforms (question by Zachary Bales-Henry) • WordPress is a free CMS (content management system) it’s easy to use and easy to setup just be sure to keep your hosting and platform up to date or pay someone to manage it. It’s PHP based and open source. Lots of free plugins to quickly customize your website but more plugins can slow down your site and cause vulnerabilities. Ecommerce plug-ins for WordPress - Shopify. • Blogger/Blogspot was created by Google. It’s free to use and very simple. Great for monetizing a blog. A little complicated to customize and a pain to add CSS. No plugin or api integrations. You cannot easily do Ecommerce on blogger. • Drupal and Joomla complicated CMS systems for bigger companies • Magento is an Ecommerce CMS for companies with an IT team • Angular, Angular 2/4, NodeJS, React - these are coding languages for advanced development and customization (I’ve built sites for all of these) Do you think having a personal app for your business is still important. Or is it worth it? (Question by Zachary Bales-Henry) Yes, it can be worth it to create a custom mobile app but it depends on your goals and your budget. Good examples of business apps and goals: • Coldwell Banker Real Estate app (easy to find homes and share them with your realtor) • Starbucks and Caribou for payment and rewards (easier payment and to keep customers engaged..even addicted to gamifying drinking coffee) • Walgreens (prescription management, purchase, renewals) • Amazon purchases (get users to buy more but simplify the web experience for your phone) Thanks for watching! I made the video public so that you can share it with friends. Please leave me a comment, I’d appreciate your feedback or questions.

Technology Q&A for Small Business Owners about Search Engine Optimization (SEO)


Tech Q&A - Discussion on Search Engine Optimization, especially for WIX users. If you have website questions and like this video please leave me a comment and I'll answer it next Friday at 4PM CST. I am looking to start a conversation via video podcasts to connect my friends and business contacts. The podcast will initially be centered around answering IT questions in my wheelhouse. Topic Ideas: personal branding, building a business online, how to sell things online, social media management, SEO (search engine optimization), websites, BI (business intelligence), AI (artificial intelligence), front-end development, UX (user experience) and machine learning. I’d like to introduce my friends who have small businesses, start the conversation rolling and see where this goes. Discussed this week: · Google Webmaster Tools · Robots.txt · SERPs · Search Engine Optimization (SEO) · WIX is harder than some CMS systems to optimize because you can't use rich snippets and lack of code access (it's drag and drop) · Google Analytics to know your audience, where they are coming from and which pages are not performing well · Google Keyword Planner for keyword research · The keywords you think you want to rank for might not be what your customers are using to search for you and how to do basic keyword research · Keywords must be in content on your website to be useful
