5 People I Follow & Why
I’m on a 10,000 word bender today for ProjectE and need a warm up and this is it. If you’re not on this list, don’t get your knickers in a twist, I probably value your input so much I want to keep it ultra secret :)
Sooo… now to the five people I follow regularly and why.
Rob Cubbon
I’m not sure how I found Rob, it was probably via Twitter. I’ve since spoken with him a couple of times and even laid down an “affiliate challenge” to him (I’m waiting…. I’m not letting you win thou!).
The content that he’s created is absolutely fantastic at both his personal site at robcubbon.com and one of his other sites at wordpressseomarketing.com and I’ve found both to be a brilliant resource. This is why this site has a sign up form on the right from one of his articles, although I need to do more.
Put it this way, when I get stuck with WordPress, Rob is the person I ask. You can follow Rob via his twitter feed here.
Seth Godin
I mainly like Seth as he has less hair than me.
But seriously this chap is amazing, I think I’ve now read or listened to 6 or so of his books. I even bought a purple jumper, solely because of his book “Purple Cow” and he is one of my virtual mentors.
With his uncanny ability to see straight through bullshit, if there was one person I could only follow, this would be the one.
If I ever need motivation and a firm “slap with a fish for desiring to be a corporate monkey”, I read his blog http://sethgodin.typepad.com/.
Rob Abdul
I stumbled across Rob when searching the keywords ecommerce expert and he just so happened to be occupying #1 the spot. past the envy part (mainly because of the amount of work he’s put in to get there), turns out Robs a really great bloke (shocker that) and his last tweet sums it up:
Google admit they were at fault – my mother always says, when you admit you were wrong, that makes you right http://t.co/LsNQFE4
Chris Dawson (TameBay)
Totally hats off to Chris (& Sue Bailey of course), from the booze up when TameBay was first birthday in Manchester a few years back, to today its still running and being frequently updated, which is no small feat.
Normally Tamebay is one of the first sources of news (quicker than AuctionBytes and not USA biased) and most posts are followed by some very interesting & hilarious comments.
Chris Brogan
Chris might say “Good night moon”, but I’m sure he doesn’t sleep, he’s really a machine!
Been a long standing follower of his blog at chrisbrogan.com and his musings on his twitter feed. No nonsense advice and suggestions on numerous topics, you really just need to read some of them to see if they’re of as much value as I find them.
Summary
They each add emense value to myself and I sincerely hope these five people can add some diversity into your social ventures.
Now only 9514 words to go before I can escape this office. Better put the coffee pot on I think…
My brother from another mother – a heartfelt thank you to you Matt.
You’re a really great bloke too Matthew – I enjoy the banter on Twitter.
I spent 14 years in the business and the last 6 years charting my way to the top of Google. I am very grateful to my paying clients and more so for all the free work I do for charities that have helped me claim the number one slot. I’d rather say nothing about what I do and simply “Walk the walk”. However it is lovely when someone notices you. For that I thank you Matt.
Right back to the banter on Twitter!
Hey Matthew, I can’t believe I missed this one. You put me here with all these big names? Really an honour. Many thanks.
hahahahha you only just noticed? :D
Now to get the others to post, now that’s a challenge.
Matt
Well, funny Seth Godin hasn’t popped by to say “thanks”!
Indeed, I’ve just let him know on Twitter. He’ll be here shortly I’m sure :X
Matt
I agree with Matt, I actively follow your tweets and goings on, on Google+ too. Don’t put yourself down Rob :)
Thank you, Dave :)
Thanks to Jane for pointing out, the booze up for TameBay in Manchester was actually their first birthday, not the launch :)
