  • How to arbitrage data and become a leader

    If you’re unfamiliar with the word arbitrage, it means this:

    In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices.

    If you extend the idea of arbitrage – uneven levels of supply and demand that benefit someone who can transfer supply to where demand is – then data arbitrage is the idea of taking information from information-rich areas and moving it to information-poor areas.

    Old money sign

    If you can develop the practice of data arbitrage, there’s a very good chance you’ll have a valuable, profitable skill that few other people have. Let me give you a couple of examples to jog your brain.

    Here’s a tip I often cite in my Blue Sky Factory email marketing lectures. Suppose you are responsible for your company’s email newsletter. Rather than just guess randomly at what might be a good subject line for your newsletter, why not search for the words you think people would be using on Twitter? Let’s say you’re writing a newsletter about financial aid, which was my old career. Hit up Twitter search and suddenly it becomes clear what people are talking about right now.

    • FennellaMiller: College process almost over , reviewing financial aid
    • ashCiERA: need to go see what my financial aid looking like for the summer.. !
    • jshureb: Bitin’ the bullet and sending back the financial aid letter………………..

    There’s a very good chance people will respond more favorably to the words and language used by their peers rather than by something you just dreamed up one afternoon, which will in turn make your newsletter much more successful. In a very short amount of time, you’re taking data from a data-rich environment (Twitter) to a data-poor environment (your company’s newsletter) and achieving results that other people in the same role do not.

    Second example: maybe you’re responsible for writing blog content for your paper business. You need to know what’s going to get people’s attention. Again, rather than just guessing or slapping together posts randomly, you head over to Quora and see what the hot topics are in paper.

    • Why are legal pads always yellow?
    • Is using 100% post-consumer recycled paper worth it?
    • What sort of things could you do to make your business card look unique, especially if you’re hand-making them?
    • What is the name of the process where a logo or text is pressed into paper?

    People are asking questions, many of which you presumably have the answers to. You’ve got blog post titles and articles pre-written for you based on the questions people are asking, and as a bonus, you’ve got an audience primed to hear the answer once you’ve written it, since you’re answering their question! You’re arbitraging between a data-rich environment (Quora questions) and your blog (no questions), and then back again from your head (professional knowledge) back to Quora (people who want answers). Your blog will have content people are looking for, and as a side benefit, there’s a good chance you will achieve some impressive SEO results, since you’ll be using phrases people actually search for.

    The lesson is simple: look for areas where information is rich and areas where information is poor. Find a way to broker that data between the two areas and at the very least, you’ll become an authority in the data-poor area, if not a community leader. If that community is your target audience, then there’s a good chance you’ll develop plenty of business from it as well, and at no cost other than your time and information-brokering abilities.

  • Mergers & Acquisitions: Stay or go?

    In yesterday’s post, we discussed the process of mergers and acquisitions (very roughly) and its implications for employees. Today, let’s talk about the career prospects for those employees.

    M&A

    Stay or go?

    When companies merge, culture changes. Sometimes the change is slow and gradual, sometimes it’s immediate.  In cases where a large company acquires a small one, the culture and environment of the target company can  be obliterated overnight. Before you start making any decisions about things to do, you have to decide whether you even want to be a part of the new entity.

    Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to research how things are at the other company. Start doing concerted searches on various forums and discussion posts about what the culture and level of happiness is for the other company (regardless of which one you’re in). If you find things aren’t quite so rosy, there’s a good chance that when the merger completes, things will be very not rosy in the merged company.

    For that matter, if things aren’t so rosy in your own company, unless your company is likely to be dismantled and absorbed entirely into the acquiring company, things will actually get worse for a while. That should weigh on your decision to stay or go as well.

    Your decision: go.

    If you choose the path of go, then you need to immediately begin building out your base (actually, you should always be doing that no matter where you are or how happily employed you are). Mergers and acquisitions tend to take a long time – months, sometimes years – so if you’ve just heard about one, you have a little bit of cushion to get moving.

    When I was doing recruiting and placement back in the day, I always advised people of my golden rule: never leap unless you know where you’re going to land. Don’t ever quit on the day you read about the merger on Mashable or in the New York Times unless you’ve got something lined up.

    While you still have access to coworkers and resources, take the time to quantify and document all that you’ve done in your current role. If you have a sense of timing (say, from a press release about the merger), then take on or get involved with a project that will have a quantifiable impact and will likely be done before the merger is complete as a showcase piece for your personal portfolio.

    Take the time to set up a thorough, complete profile on LinkedIn and garner as many legitimate recommendations as you can, especially from current coworkers, supervisors, and subordinates if you have any. Obviously, if you’ve done nothing noteworthy, this will be a harder task than if you’ve racked up some accomplishments.

    We’ll cover many more of these tips in an upcoming social job search Webinar.

    Your decision: stay.

    If you choose the path of stay, then continue building out your base, but stay as attuned as possible to what will be changing in the organization. Especially in larger corporate mergers, there will be both overlap of job functions as well as new positions being created. Take advantage of your internal network to tune into what’s happening. Make a point to routinely visit human resources for internal job postings, not only to see if there are lateral or upward moves you can make, but also to look for the tone and tenor of what might be changing based on what the organization is looking to hire for.

    Use social media to your advantage and find as many of your coworkers as well as future coworkers in the other company, then follow them and listen closely. See again if you can garner any sense of tone and information about what’s going on from the biggest possible picture. Do the same as above for yourself as well with regards to LinkedIn. Gathering legitimate recommendations for your profile about your current work is a stupid-simple asset to create that provides very public proof of your competence.

    Here’s a obvious-but-not-obvious secret from the world of open source intelligence gathering: lots of little things add up. No one will outright talk about major organizational changes or major moves in a merger – such things are usually confidential. However, information leaks in little pieces all over the place. Let’s say, for example, that you’re following the developers you’ve identified in your organization and suddenly, simultaneously, their posts on Facebook or Twitter go from casual everyday stuff to career-focused stuff, or their posts go from average mood to decided negative all at once, all together. Combine that with sightings of the head of development spending a lot of time in a suit, talking to visiting executives from the acquiring company, and you might get a sense that your developer team has been identified for headcount reduction.

    If your company is publicly traded, look for what your executives and other executives are doing with their stock shares, as they are legally required to disclose insider stock trades. If you suddenly see every major executive dumping shares, perhaps the merger isn’t going as well as it should be.

    Ultimately, if you choose the path of stay, you have to do as much as possible to stay informed while racking up as many accomplishments as possible so that in a contest between you and an overlapping employee in the other organization, the only rational choice is you.

  • Padcasting from the iPad and Garageband

    Garageband for the iPad came out in the App Store and I gave it a test, doing some “padcasting”. It’s a very polished interface, typical high quality Apple standards, but there are some gotchas. Watch more in the 2 minute video.

    Padcasting with the iPad and Garageband for iPad

    Mobile editing of audio is awesome for all podcasters, and you can interchange desktop Garageband projects with the mobile version (sync through iTunes), so if sound quality is important, record on the desktop with your awesome gear and then send the file to the iPad for editing while on the go.

    The glitch in the video with the recorder coming to a dead stop was easily solved – my iPad was out of disk space. Make sure if you’re getting an iPad 2 to spring for disk space or you’re going to run out really, really fast.

  • Experimenting with premium content

    In my next newsletter coming out some time next week, I’ll be experimenting with premium content using Blue Sky Factory’s Publicaster email marketing software. I’ve just about got all the pieces assembled and figured out, so that everyone will get the newsletter, but premium members will see more content in the actual newsletter than non-premium members. For example, a paragraph or a section might not be included for non-premium members, but would be there for premium members.

    If you’d like to participate in this, it’s really easy to become a premium member, and no money is required. Just make sure you are subscribed with all of the information filled out on the newsletter page. What I’m going to do is pretty simple: I’ll do a database export of everyone who provided complete information and mark you as premium. If you’re already subscribed, make sure your information is updated so that everything is filled out.

    What sort of premium content will be included that would make it worth it? I’ll drop this hint: some of my favorite WordPress plugins (and why).

  • Weekend Foodblogging: A Crispy Secret

    We love the crispy crunch that fried foods have, don’t we? We also do not love all the calories, fat, and other unpleasant stuff that comes with fried foods, right? Here’s a crispy quesadilla secret that can transform nearly any sandwich into a crisp, golden, delicious wonder with virtually no extra fat, gobs of oil or butter, or other stuff that you’d prefer not to eat all the time. Here’s a way to get the crispy crunch without the oily punch.

    Secret Quesadillas

    Start with your average store-bought tortillas, whatever will fit comfortably in your non-stick frying pan. Grab some decent shredded cheese. Have a cutting board, large knife, clean towels, plate, frying pan, cooking spray, and spatula handy. If you have other pre-cooked ingredients you normally put in quesadillas (onions, shredded chicken, etc.), have that all ready as well. Put a towel down on the cutting board and have the knife nearby. Put another towel on the plate. Mise en place, or everything laid out in advance, is vitally important to making this work well, so make sure all supplies are ready.

    Secret Quesadillas

    Spray the pan lightly with the non-stick spray. If your pan is not non-stick, spray not so lightly. Turn on the heat to medium-high; on a scale of 1-10, it should be around a 7. If you have one of those weird stoves like I do where the burner knobs are numbered 1-6, go for about 4 1/2. Put down a tortilla, grab a handful of shredded cheese and spread it out quickly and evenly over it, quickly put in any other fillings you like,then cover with another tortilla.

    Secret Quesadillas

    Cook the quesadilla like this for about a minute, shaking every so often. Flip it over at the minute mark and check to see if it’s lightly browned. With quesadillas and sandwiches, it’s okay to pick them up and check them more frequently than, say, eggs. Dark brown or burned means your pan is too hot. Unchanged in color means your pan isn’t hot enough. Cook both sides until they’re lightly browned.

    Secret Quesadillas

    Now here’s the secret. Grab a smaller handful of cheese and sprinkle it very quickly and evenly around the pan itself. You don’t need much – just enough to add a little cheese all around. Put the quesadilla on top of this cheese and cook it for 15 seconds or so, shaking frequently.

    Secret Quesadillas

    If you do it right, the cheese should turn a medium brown to golden brown crust on the outside of the quesadilla. Lift it out of the pan, put down another handful, and cook the other side the same way for about 15 seconds or until the cheese looks like the picture above.

    Secret Quesadillas

    When done, move the quesadilla to the towel-covered cutting board and cut into quarters, then move it to the towel-covered plate. The enemy of all things crispy and delicious is steam, moisture buildup that changes crispy to mushy within seconds. That’s why we cut and plate on towels, so that the towel absorbs the moisture and keeps the quesadillas crisp and delicious.

    Secret Quesadillas

    You now have quesadillas that are covered in a golden, crispy cheese crust that, depending on the cheese you use, is likely to be much healthier and more nutritious than a batter-fried food. It delivers wonderful flavor and crunch without the bad stuff that comes along with deep fried foods. The best part? This dish is dirt cheap to make. You can plate up 5 full quesadillas or 20 wedges for about $5, depending on how inexpensive tortillas and cheese are near you.

    Take the cheese crust idea to things like tuna sandwiches and other dishes where you want crispy but not oily. You’ll be amazed at how you can make crispy and delicious without oil and grease.

  • Do you have a welcome page?

    welcome to our home 3Those of you who have been following me on Twitter over the past 6 months have seen me tweet out the start of every day with something like this:

    Good morning friends! Some pithy short comment about life today here. New friend? Welcome aboard: https://cspenn.com/w

    This short URL takes you over to my welcome page, which gives you some idea of who I am, what I do, where you can find me, and some selected pieces of content that give you an idea of what I write about. I’ve been doing a welcome page since August, and on the page I explain why it exists: it’s a tour, a welcome mat of sorts to help introduce new friends to me.

    Every day, a few people go read it when I start the day with it, between 20-30 a day. As web analytics go, that’s not exactly lighting the world on fire, right?

    Except when I looked in the aggregate stats yesterday, those few visits every day by brand new people add up significantly, making it the 7th highest trafficked page on my site overall and having a bounce rate a full 20% lower than any other page on my web site. People come to it, read it, and find their way to other content I’ve written, which is exactly its intended purpose. Here’s the kicker, the part that makes me very happy: the next page that people go to is my public speaking page. If I were a business (in the sense of a full time commercial enterprise) and a welcome page was funneling new traffic, new visitors straight to my sales page, I’d be delighted beyond measure at this kind of performance.

    Here’s the secret of the welcome page, the secret sauce that makes it work. It’s not enough just to have one. You have to draw new attention to it regularly. By tweeting it out daily, first thing, almost every weekday without fail, it gets some traffic. Not a ton, but it doesn’t need a ton, and those who have already been to it don’t have to return to it. That’s the secret. By keeping the format of the first Tweet of the day regular consistent, new people get a welcome and old friends get a familiar reassurance. New people get introduced to me every single day and learn what I do (and some hire me to speak), while not offending familiar friends who have already seen it.

    Here’s the secret that makes it easy for me: by using a static URL that’s very short (cspenn.com/w), I remember it without having to think about it, instead of something like a bit.ly/omfgwtfistheshortcodethatthispagewasyesterday273. I don’t ever have to think about what my welcome page’s URL is; by keeping it so short and familiar (and unchanging), it’s easy to publish daily.

    Should you have a welcome page for your business or personal site? That’s entirely up to you. If you can make the commitment to start every day by drawing attention to it, by keeping a constant, small flow of eyes and minds to it, then I would say yes, you should have one. If you can’t make that commitment, then I’d say it’s not a bad idea to have one, but don’t expect the same kind of performance that you’d get out of it.

    Do you have a welcome page? Are you bringing new people to it every day?

  • Recommendation: Anticipate Plugin for WordPress

    If it isn’t obvious from the multiple ads around the site, I’m both a fan and affiliate of Elegant Themes, Nick Roach’s great little development house. His most recent WordPress utility, Anticipate, is something worth talking about. If you’re in the middle of redeveloping a WordPress site (be it corporate, personal, whatever) and you want to work on it and preview it while giving the outside world something else to look at, Anticipate is the awesomesauce you’ve been looking for.

    Christopher S. Penn's Awaken Your Superhero

    What it does is put up a nice, highly customizable countdown page on your WordPress site’s home page. You can configure the clock and counter and all that, plus have some sliding content that will act as a placeholder so people have something to read. On top of that, you can slap up your newsletter signup, social media stuff, etc., all the usual things you’d expect of a site in pre-launch mode.

    What makes this plugin awesome is this, however: while the rest of the world sees the landing page with all of your coming soon fanciness, you’re able to log in and work on your new WordPress site, screw it up, break the existing theme, etc. and no one will ever know. You can submit it to the rest of your team and as long as they log into your WordPress site, you can collaborate and hack your new WordPress site together. You’ll preview it live on your web host as if it were actually live, which means you can test all your plugins and other functionality. Heck, your site can remain permanently stuck in committee redesign as long as someone remembers to keep adjusting the clock on the Anticipate plugin.

    Anticipate is part of the Elegant Themes membership, so you get all their blog themes as well as the plugin for $40/year. I can’t recommend this plugin enough if you’re going to be doing any kind of WordPress-based site launch. Go buy it.

  • Evergreen 5: What 5 blog posts did you miss?

    If you’ve been blogging for any amount of time, chances are you’ve got some hits. You’ve got some articles that have performed amazingly well, articles that people have loved, read, shared, and printed out to staple to their bosses’ heads. The blog posts you’ve written that have taken off have given you that sense of pride and happiness that makes blogging worth it to you.

    Chances are, you’ve also got some posts that you think should have been hits. Maybe you wrote them on Super Bowl Sunday when people were distracted by a football game. Maybe you wrote them on the day the iPad came out and the buzz from Cupertino drowned out everything else that day or that week. Maybe you wrote them early on before your blog became noteworthy and they’ve languished in obscurity ever since.

    Take some time and go back through your analytics data. If you’re using Google Analytics, go to Content > Top Content, set the time range to the history of your blog, then set the view to 500 rows. Create an advanced filter that specifies any page with greater than 5 pageviews, and then look at your content.

    Top Content - Google Analytics

    Find 5 blog posts on the bottom of the stack, 5 blog posts that are evergreen, that are worth sharing, and bring them back to life. Go back, tighten them up, tune them up, remove stuff from them that’s not relevant any more, and give those posts a second shot at life by featuring them in an Evergreen Five blog post like this one. See if there’s stuff that is just as important now (perhaps even more so) as when you wrote them.

    Here are 5 posts that my analytics says you missed that are still relevant:

    Feel free to tag yourself or tag others to post an Evergreen Five. Use the #evergreen5 hashtag if you like. Bring back some of what could have been your greatest hits for a second chance!

    Tagged for an Evergreen 5: Chris Brogan, Mitch Joel, Julien Smith, Amber Naslund, Tamsen McMahon, DJ Waldow, Greg Cangialosi.
