What Thorium Ore Can Teach You About Profitability
Everyone is always chasing new. There’s a ton of competition in new. Whether it’s social media, mobile marketing, or World of Warcraft, people love new stuff. They’re starving for new stuff constantly and sometimes are willing to pay top dollar for new stuff.

In World of Warcraft, there’s a profession called mining which involves picking up rocks off the ground. (not exactly like real mining) In each new version of the game (currently Cataclysm), there’s a new set of rocks that are highly desired (currently Elementium and Pyrite). Competition is fierce for them, because you can melt them down and turn them into armor, weapons, and other trade goods.

At any given time, there are thousands of piles of the latest and greatest rocks in the in-game marketplace.

However, there’s an equally powerful market in-game that is woefully underserved: the rocks from 3 game versions ago.

Let me introduce you to Thorium Ore, found in lovely places like Silithus. Thorium Ore is boring. It’s in remote, unexciting zones.

Here’s Silithus, a part of the virtual world where thorium ore is plentiful, if filled with very large insects. It’s not a fun or exciting place to be. No one goes there. No one wants to go there. Certainly, no one wants to be mining there when there are the new shiny rocks to be had elsewhere.

Here’s the secret of thorium ore: for players at lower levels, it’s one of the most needed metals in the game to level your profession. No one wants it. No one wants to go get it. But a whole bunch of people need it, and as a result are willing to pay for it in the in-game market at a premium price, a price that is almost double what the new, shiny rock is worth! This is the recipe for incredible profit: high demand, no supply, no competition.

As everyone madly rushes to become a social media guru or a mobile marketing expert, ask yourself this: what other areas of marketing and media are being left underserved? What other aspects of your trade, your industry, your niche are being neglected as everyone makes a mad rush for the shiny object of the day? It is there you’ll find some amazing profitability because chances are, you’ll have almost no competition, and as long as there’s still need, the price is yours to name.

What Akil’Zon Can Teach You About Marketing Skillsets
Last night, an intrepid group of adventurers stepped up to attack Akil’Zon, the Eagle boss in Zul’Aman, one of World of Warcraft’s many dungeons. Little did said group know that it was a trap: with certain combinations of players (melee DPS + no mass dispel, for those who play), the encounter is nearly impossible to complete.

You see, each class (role) in World of Warcraft is capable of some talents and not others. Paladin healers are extremely good at patching up one person at a time. Priests are very good at patching up whole groups of people. Druids can heal people over time as opposed to instantly (which is handier than you’d think). Some healers can get rid of poison, while others can remove disease, curses, and other delights. The catch is that no one class can do it all.

If you want to know how an encounter is likely to go, you look at what a boss is capable of in terms of damage, and then you look at what your team can do to address it. In the case of Akil’Zon, he is adept at spreading a particular kind of magic damage that needs to be dispelled. If you have a healer that can’t dispel that damage en masse, everyone dies, which is more or less what happened to our little group last night.

What does any of this have to do with marketing? Simple: there will be some marketing problems for which you don’t currently have the right abilities on your team. Look at the standard three vectors of any business problem as an example: speed of execution, quality of execution, and cost of execution. Just like a World of Warcraft team, there’s a very good chance your individual abilities will cover two of the three at best.

There’s a good chance, because we tend to hire people who are similar to ourselves, that your entire team has that same focus. You may be very good at solving problems quickly and cheaply, but not necessarily effectively or with high quality. You may be able to solve problems cheaply and effectively, but not quickly, lagging behind your competitors.

The solution, once you realize where your gaps are, to both your marketing team issues and your World of Warcraft issues, boils down to two choices:

1. Change your strategy. If you have gaps in your skillsets, you have to change the fight somehow. If you’re not good at speed of execution, you need to plan very far ahead so that your execution time is timed with your competitors seamlessly, as if you could execute quickly. If you’re not good at quality of execution, you need to build in extra QA time before releasing to market so that you give the appearance of having the same quality as your competitors.

2. Change your team. If the gaps in skillsets isn’t surmountable by a change in strategy, then you must change up the team to address the weakness. With Akil’Zon, chances are good the encounter would be much easier if we simply changed out the warrior and paladin with a mage and another hunter, thus negating his special ability. The downside of changing up your team is that when you do so, you introduce new vulnerabilities and weaknesses that can bite you down the line, and those may be even more difficult to adjust to.

Generally speaking, I’ll always try to change strategy first before changing up teams. If you’ve got good people, they are far more likely to be able to learn and adapt than constantly churning butts in seats, and like World of Warcraft, most marketing encounters can usually be beaten with enough experimentation and testing.

What about you? Do you or your company change strategies or teams faster? Which has been more effective?

Building community
I had the pleasure of presenting recently to the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council about building strong, large online communities. The discussion ranged from World of Warcraft gaming sites to Marketing Over Coffee to many others, and we reviewed the methods and skills needed to build and grow a community. Instead of using slides, I chose to present off of a mind map. Perhaps one day services like Prezi will allow mind map imports. In the meantime, if you’d like to see the “presentation”, click on the map image below for a full-size version.

While the “slide” may not be 100% intuitive, there’s enough on there to see a framework for successful community building.

What Alterac Valley can teach you about SEO & marketing
Over the weekend, I had the delight of competing relentlessly in Alterac Valley, a 40 man player vs. player battleground in World of Warcraft. For those unfamiliar, Alterac Valley is a large, mountainous battlefield that is a war of attrition, trying to gather resources for your team and deny objectives to the opposing team. 40 players from each team rush out to manage 23 separate objectives.

One of the most common scenarios in Alterac Valley is the standoff, or turtle, where the two teams clash in the middle of the battlefield and fight each other without benefitting either team. No strategic objectives are captured, and the stalemate frustrates everyone. It’s one of the most common occurrences in Alterac Valley.

However, just 2 people out of the 40 can make a difference that can prevent a turtle and advance your side towards winning, by controlling a small, boring objective on top of a hill that most players on both teams ignore. (Snowfall Graveyard, for the WoW PvP crowd) My little 2-man squad from my guild always captured this little objective and then stood around to guard it against recapture. 99% of the time, we were bored out of our minds, save for when 1 or 2 opposing team players wandered by. Yet by holding this little objective, we prevented the turtle because holding it allowed our team to reappear behind enemy offensive lines, a significant strategic advantage that changed the momentum of battle in our favor.

Why do the vast majority of players ignore this little snowy hill? It’s boring, for one. If you’re playing for the glory, it’s about as far from glory as you can get: it’s guard duty. Most players with very short attention spans simply gloss over it. Second, most players don’t understand strategy and just rush in to kill whatever they can and hope they live long enough to win. Finally, standing guard there and watching your team members run by repeatedly reinforces that you’re not in the action or the heat of the battle, which drives most players batty. Impatience and bloodlust demand they be in the heat of the battle, not standing on a hill watching. Most players are unwilling to forego their own fun and enjoyment for the benefit of the entire team.

What does any of this have to do with you? Take a look at your organization and how you expend your resources. What strategic objectives are easy but incredibly boring, yet might swing the tide of battle or the momentum of your organization wildly in your favor? Are you overlooking them because they’re boring and completely without glory?

One that comes to mind is SEO. Search engine optimization is, to be perfectly frank, boring work. It’s unglamorous, it’s repetitive, it’s almost mindless at times. Yet even one person with the right skills can “take the objective” of SEO and dramatically affect a company’s growth. As your sales and marketing teams rush by in their quest for glory with social media, social sales, and the shiny object of the day, it’s human nature to want to follow them, to be in the spotlight, yet if you stand guard at your little snowy hill of SEO, you might have an outsized impact on all your marketing.

What snowy hills are you passing by that instead you should be taking and holding, even when no one else wants to?

p.s. For those veteran WoW PvP players, yes, Iceblood Graveyard is strategically better but because it’s right in the running path of the Horde, it gets lost far more than held with a token force. Snowfall is far easier to hold because no one cares about it.

When should you be innovating?
When should you be innovating?

When should you be optimizing, taking advantage of what you’ve already got?

Innovation and optimization are companions. They’re complementary. You innovate something new, something untested, and then you see how it works. In the beginning, you test. You put in a lot of effort and the results you get are promising, but nothing to write home about. Maybe it’s the first day you sign up for Twitter. Maybe it’s the first time you install Google Analytics.

You start to see some better results as you gain proficiency with tactics, tools, and methods. Now you’re getting results that pay for themselves by most metrics, indicators that the thing you’re doing has momentum. Now it’s time to optimize.

You optimize and get stellar results, but as the easy gains are taken off the table, you have to become more effective, more strategic, more capable with the tools and tactics in order to keep seeing the same levels of growth and same results.

After a while, no matter how proficient you are, you start to see diminishing returns for your efforts. At a certain point, the diminishing returns cause growth to plateau. You can’t possibly throw more money, time, or energy at your new thing in order to make it grow. This is also the point where many people get frustrated and burnt out. Banging your head against a wall is no fun, nor is it productive.

When is it time to optimize? When is it time to innovate? The easiest way to make that determination is to look in your metrics, in your analytics. Keep track of time or budget, then using a basic spreadsheet, plot the results you get against your resources expended. You will likely have a chart that looks like this after all is said and done:

If you don’t have any real way of plotting effort expended versus results driven, there are emotional indicators on the chart that roughly correspond to how you might feel at any point in the cycle. You’re much better off with real metrics, though. Even if you just plot traffic to your blog vs. time spent blogging & promoting your blog, that’s a far better objective metric than gut feeling.

The most important part of this chart is to recognize when it’s time to innovate. If you innovate too soon, you leave juicy gains on the table. Abandoning ship makes no sense if the ship isn’t sinking. If you innovate too late, you burn yourself out or you burn your team out and then getting them restarted in order to innovate requires herculean effort.

Take the time to assess where you are with your efforts in any one particular method, whether it’s Twitter, mobile marketing, Facebook Fan Pages, swordfighting, gearing for PvP in World of Warcraft, whatever. Take the time and see where you are in the innovation-optimization lifecycle, and you could spare yourself an incredible amount of frustration and get yourself on track for the innovation you need to succeed.

Three words for 2011
Every year, Chris Brogan has introduced a theme summed up in three words. I enjoy playing along with the theme as it usually does a good job of crystallizing what the year will be about. They’re not goals so much as lenses, ways to focus and make decisions about whether something is worth doing or worth investigating. 2011’s three words for me are:

System. Shatterpoint. Leverage.
- System. As an avid World of Warcraft player, there are thousands of systems within the game that make it relatively easy to succeed, from designing armor sets with reforging for tanking to manipulating the Auction House. I’ve learned many, many lessons about controlling systems from the game and this year, I want to see how many of those systems and models can be brought to life in the non-virtual world. Some of them may port directly, while others will need to adapt to life’s greater complexities and randomness.
- Shatterpoint. In the Star Wars universe, a shatterpoint is a juncture in the Force where things are especially vulnerable, where one little change can make or break not just a person or a campaign, but have galactic consequences. In any given framework, there are critical points where a relatively simple change can make a company run smoothly or stop business completely. There are key players who can be bolstered or neutralized and the company will flourish or wither. This year, I’ll spend time looking at all of the frameworks that I use and determining where the shatterpoints are and how to neutralize them in my own stuff while looking for them in competitors.
- Leverage. As a companion or corollary to shatterpoints, there are multipliers that can take a little change and amplify it far out of proportion to the original inputs. These might be marketing methods that provide unforeseen synergies with existing efforts, interactions which are not obvious but which are tremendously powerful. These might be fitness techniques or strategies that accomplish far more than they appear to on the surface. This year, I’ll spend time looking at the amplifiers that I already know about, to see if they can be used in new and different ways, as well as looking for new amplifiers, methods, and tools to bolster what I already have.
As the year progresses, I’m sure I’ll be sharing some of the outputs from the research. Some stuff will remain hidden by necessity (or contractual requirement) while other stuff will appear on the blog here or in the other channels I participate in. Stay tuned in and what I can share, I will.

Passwords are not enough
How secure are your digital assets? With the massive database compromises of sites like Gawker and its associated properties, both individuals and groups are finding that passwords aren’t enough. But what’s a realistic alternative or supplement?

Here’s one. Do you see this little gadget attached to my keychain?

It’s a World of Warcraft authenticator. It’s a little device that generates a random number bound to my Warcraft account every 30 seconds or so. To log in to play, I sign in with a password and type in the current number. It takes literally seconds to do and ensures that my Warcraft account is harder to hack as you’d need both the physical device and my password to get in.

Now explain this to me: why is my video game, my leisure activity, more secure than everything else I use in my digital life? I swipe my credit card at stores and the bored minimum wage clerk doesn’t even bother looking at the signature. I log into my bank account online with just a password. I used to work in a credit union data center a little while back where passwords for the system were mandatory – but they were four digits only and if you compromised them, you’d have access to literally billions of dollars.

The technology to add strong security – or stronger security at any rate – isn’t especially difficult for users to add to their routine. That’s a baseless fear- millions of Warcraft players like me use a strong security system daily. Database disasters like the Gawker incident highlight just how fragile and easily broken the simple text password is, and should be a wake up call to us, the consumers, to demand more security out of the institutions we deal with daily.

Want to get a jump on institutions? Change your passwords now, and change them in such a way that no one password works for everything. At a bare minimum, add a word for password groups so that password sets can be remembered but are different from major network to network.

For example, if the password you want to use is CheeseBurgers!, then create CheeseBurgers!Banking as a password for financial services, CheeseBurgers!Social for networks like Facebook and Twitter, CheeseBurgers!Email for mail services, etc. You’ll still mentally have “one” password but it won’t work for everything. (the added length is also a minor increase to security since longer passwords are harder to guess) If another Gawker media incident happens where millions of passwords and email addresses are stolen, perhaps only your CheeseBurgers!Blogging password will need to be changed.

Security is and will be only as strong as we demand of the companies we work with. Demand better of everyone and everything you work with!

2010 Holiday Gift Shopping Guide
The holiday music is playing in the malls, the commercials are on TV, and it’s holiday shopping season! Got a friend that you have no idea what to get them? This gift guide might help! Absolutely everything on this page is an affiliate link if I can help it, so consider that the blanket disclosure.

Books

David Maister’s Strategy and the Fat Smoker. Unquestionably one of the best reads of the past few years. I try to live it professionally.

Avinash Kaushik’s Web Analytics in an Hour a Day and Web Analytics 2.0. Avinash is unquestionably the king of the hill when it comes to learning how to measure things. He tackles not only what, but why. Essential reading.

Garr Reynolds’ Presentation Zen is a must read if you want to learn how to communicate more effectively with presentations.

Bag

Osprey Slipstream travel bag. My highest endorsement of this bag can be summed up in one sentence: I haven’t broken it yet. It’s ridiculously durable, holds a couple of days of clothing and a laptop plus iPad, cabling, etc. I love it.

Camera

Canon Powershot S95: Canon’s little pocket point and shoot is ideal for one reason only: it goes as wide open as f/2.0, which makes it great for indoor use without a flash. You’ll be able to shoot with more natural and ambient light without having to resort to a flash than with other pocket cameras.

Nikon D90. I own this camera and it’s the workhorse of all my serious digital imaging. I shoot with the kit lens, which is good enough for most everything except very specific cases. It’s not light, small, cheap, or convenient, but it is extremely good at what it does.

Computer

If you run a laptop and do anything that is computationally intensive, get a Targus Chill Mat. I have a MacBook Pro made of aluminum, which is an ideal heat conductor. Unfortunately, Apple designed it so that the case radiates heat but not as efficiently as a fan. A Chill Mat underneath does an awesome job of cooling the machine down by 20 degrees or more.

Games

Logitech Gaming Headset. Prior to this, I had the ClearChat headset, and that was not bad at all. Light, small, thin… and easy to lose. Which I did. I tend to be just absent minded enough to leave the “small, thin, ultraportable” stuff behind, so I prefer to buy things that are a little bigger, just so I don’t forget them in an airline seat. This USB headset is great for Skype, video, gaming, and music. It’s not small. It’s not light. It does sound great.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Out in just a week. Can’t wait.

Productivity

Get an iPad. That is all.

If you get an iPad, get this incredibly sexy Aidacase, which provides a soft Bluetooth keyboard integrated with a case. The keyboard is small and squishy and better than the on screen one, but not as good as the hard dock version. That said, the hard dock version from Apple is a pain to lug around. Virtually every case out there is identical to this one because they’re all made by the same Chinese manufacturer. This is wonderful on the road.

I also own the Apple hardware keyboard iPad dock. I like it at the office as it’s a monitor stand and full size keyboard all in one. If you’re going to crunch a LOT of text, this is the way to go.

Business Stuff

As I’ve mentioned in my personal newsletter, two services I strongly recommend are SEOMoz for managing your SEO efforts and Elegant Themes for great looking WordPress blog templates. Both of these are high quality services, though I’m not sure SEOMoz would make a good personal holiday gift.

Whatever you celebrate, I wish you a happy holiday season, and hopefully this gift guide will be helpful to you.
