Startups and hiring

I am a big fan of Duck Dynasty. Thanks to their show, family values humor and PR, they are well known across America.

When watching, it always leaves me with the thought of how does this company actually make money, as their employees seem to do very little.  Obviously there is the show that is part of the formula to make money and the back room where the daily operations of the company occur. Here are the opinions of best startup practice.

Bloggers Success

I love a good success story and Pete Cashmore is one of those stories that should be publicized in order to inspire others. He took something like being in hospital and using that situation for his own gain in terms of making his time spent there work for him.

He began blogging about his interest which is technology and wanted to explain to others how to use the technology such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and YouTube. His company is called Mashable and it has 50 million page views and 20 million different visitors a month to his site. He is now worth in the region of $100 million and his business Mashable has been valued in the region of $300million. He and his company have won many different awards and is definitely someone to watch in the future.
