Is it true that My likes to do good stuff?

Do You Like to Do Good Stuff?

Hi My

If you've been following my emails for any time during the past few years, you know that I always sign off with the phrase "Do good stuff."

You see, it's a philosophy of mine. And that philosophy is that if you take the focus off yourself and stop thinking about "what's in it for me?" you actually end up helping a lot of other people.

My mentor, the late Zig Ziglar, said it best...

"You get what you want when you help enough other people get what they want."

Simple, right?

And yet, people are so often focused on trying to determine their return on investment.

I personally believe in the law of sowing and reaping. That means I attempt to do good wherever I can, and I trust that by doing so, good stuff will come back to me.  I don't get bogged down with whether or not the person I helped is ever going to pay me back.  I just do it because I feel it is right for me to do.

Earlier this year, I was inspired to take the Do Good Stuff message to the next level and began using the hashtag #DoGoodStuff in my social media posts.

Then, on a whim, I launched a Teespring campaign with a limited edition t-shirt to see if people would take to the brand. 

Many of you did, and I'm pleased to say that enough people have purchased a Do Good Stuff t-shirt that the campaign has automatically triggered to re-launch itself THREE times!

And now, for the next couple days, you can proudly order a Do Good Stuff shirt and tell the world that YOU are doing good stuff wherever you go!

There are two different designs available in multiple styles.

The original shirt featuring the Do Good Stuff logo is available in black only  at:

http://teespring.com/dogoodstuff

The second design features the #DoGoodStuff hashtag on the front and the small logo on the back at the neckline. It comes in multiple colors and styles with something for everyone!

http://teespring.com/do-good-stuff-premium-tee
Time is limited to get either one of these, and I hope you will order at least one for yourself and others for friends and family because they make great gifts!

Thank you for reading my blog, following me on social media and for supporting a brand the brings a positive message to the world.  You are the reason I do what I do, and I am grateful for you.  :-)

Now go grab a shirt and remember to...

Do Good Stuff!

Join me & Chris Brogan on the most amazing new video platform TODAY!

Hi My

The Internet is changing in the blink of an eye. Social media is evolving and suddenly we find ourselves exploring entirely new channels that are quickly replacing how we consume information.

Netflix. Amazon. Hulu. YouTube. So many people are cancelling their TV service because we've got new choices galore.

And today I am excited to share with you a new channel that I have been playing with for the last two weeks. I'll tell you this...

I'm hooked. 

Really hooked.

SERIOUSLY hooked.

The service is called "Blab", and it is far and away the most amazing new site I have seen for content creators. I've been hosting shows on this video conferencing site for hours on end, welcoming guests and viewers to join me.

Blab is what Google Hangouts tried to be, but never was.  Hangouts was complicated... glitchy.. cumbersome...

Blab is easy... welcoming... and it works.

Seriously. I am so stoked about Blab that I am now doing regular shows.

And it is time for you to come see what I'm so excited about.

Today, I'll be interviewing Chris Brogan on the NEW Joel Comm Show

http://comm.us/brogan​

All you need to login is a Twitter account.  Simply go to that page and SUBSCRIBE to be notified when the broadcast is starting.

We'll be live at 5 pm ET (2 pm PT), and I think you are going to be blown away at the content shared by Chris AND the platform we'll be using to conduct the interview.

If you have a webcam and microphone and want to ask Chris or myself questions, this is your opportunity to jump in!

http://comm.us/brogan

Get ready to enter a whole new world of content and online broadcasting.... 

Do good stuff,

Joel

Is This the End of Google Hangouts?



Live video streaming has become all the rage amongst many marketers and people with online businesses. The immediacy of being able to stream from an app on a mobile device has lowered the bar and leveled the playing field so that anyone can get started right away.

In a previous post, I referred to my top 4 streaming video apps, and I made mention of a new desktop app called Blab.im.

Could it be the Google Hangout killer? Perhaps so...

Live Streaming Video is the New Blogging

Online live video streaming isn’t a new phenomenon. Back in 2008, I was using Ustream.tv to broadcast Joel Comm Live. A few people were doing 24-hour lifecasts (such as Justin.tv), and Google Hangouts weren’t too far behind. However, most of these streaming applications required a desktop computer in order to enjoy the full benefits of creating a show.

All that has changed in 2015, with a number of new apps that are leading the way into the live video streaming revolution. I’ll just go ahead and say it now…

Live streaming video is the new blogging.

Want to know which apps are essential for building a following to share your content with?

How to See Obstacles as Opportunities

Seeing Obstacles as Opportunities

Seeing Obstacles as Opportunities

2015-08-13

No is one of the hardest words for most people to hear. We want what we want, and when don’t get what we want, we can feel angry, hurt, sad or disappointed.

As a young man breaking into sales in the early 90’s, I was tossed into survival-of-the-fittest situations. The managers at my company didn’t care who made sales. They just wanted sales. And they knew that whoever was able to hear the word “no” again and again were the ones most likely to get to “yes.”

It takes a lot of fortitude and persistence to push through all the no’s to get to yes. It takes courage to turn a no into a yes. And it takes creativity and ingenuity to embrace no as a welcome obstacle that is seen as a blessing in disguise.

JoelComm.com - Facebook Closed My Account... Again

Facebook Closed My Account

I’m not the first person it’s happened to, and it’s not the first time it has happened to me. But nevertheless, it did happen a second time.

Back in 2009, Facebook closed my account because I was at my 5000 friend limit and I was messaging people who wanted to connect with me, inviting them to like my new fan page. Apparently that labeled me as a spammer and my account was shut down. Robert Scoble came to my rescue, helping connect me with people who could do something about it, and my account was reinstated.

Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to find this message on Facebook.

Facebook Account Disabled

What happened next?

Facebook Live Video Streaming is Here... and it's VERY Good

Live for Facebook Mentions Video Streaming

I’ve been streaming live video online since 2008, when I first started using uStream.tv. But with the rise of mobile and social media, streaming has grown up considerably. And the last few months have seen the release of several apps which allow anyone to stream live video directly from their mobile devices.

First there was Meerkat (to which I have been partial as I started using it just before it blew up at SXSW). Next, Twitter launched Periscope (and spread some bad mojo by cutting off Meerkat from their social graph). David Beckham (yes, THAT David Beckham) recently answered with the launch of MyEye (which I have not yet tried).

But all that may now be academic, because as of today Facebook has entered the live video streaming arena within the Facebook Mentions app. And it is powerful stuff!
