Interesting new business plans of the Bulgarian Pres. Plevneliev t.co/kEnhd1ja

Did you know of this new tool coming up to use in making presentations and videos with animations? I think you might be interested in it, check it out here www.powtoon.com . I also discovered that they are copying Fiverr's style gig marketplace to offer the video presentations as gigs, check www.powtoon.com/marketplace/jobs/animated-video/i-will-create-a-captivating-demo-clip-for-your-startup-for-500-00/

If they pull this off successfully they will be disrupting the whole industry (Video animations) by making it cheap. I hope they succeed so that smaller companies can come into this space and compete based on price with the same quality.

Had to share that one with you...
Apple bets people will come and find them, and go on a waiting list if necessary, thus they can afford to no bother pre-marketing in the open to partners.  The other tech companies hedge their bets and make sure their boxes are on as many pallets in as many partner's warehouses as possible.

The film industry also does something like this when marketing films to toy manufacturers and marketing partners for tie-ins, but it does not generally market major films to distributors and theaters, they accept them sight-unseen (which is, come to think of it, exactly the sort of condition Apple compels on its partners).  The exception to this rule are art-house and independent films that are sold to theater circuits and distributors at trade shows, also known as "film festivals" and "film markets."

.....Several years ago I was in the Thomson Building in Toronto. I went down the hall to the small kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee. Ken Thomson was there, making himself some instant soup. At the time, he was the ninth-richest man in the world, worth approximately $19.6 billion. Enough, certainly, to afford a nice lunch. I looked at the soup he was stirring. “It suits me just fine,” he said, smiling......

Opera: $50 million in revenue each quarter. Market capitalization: around $670 million. Instagram: $0 in revenue each quarter. Market capitalization: $1 billion. I need to get an MBA or...? Talking about revenue models :)

Do you like the advantages of Ecommerce?

1. Overcome Geographical Limitations
If you have a physical store, you are limited by the geographical area that you can service. With an ecommerce website, the whole world is your playground. Additionally, the advent of mcommerce, i.e., ecommerce on mobile devices, has dissolved every remaining limitation of geography.

I love this "old" podcast Michelle Nichols and BusinessWeek -- Savvy SellingTips. Its been few years now but its still good staff.
