Description:
“The sooner we view the web as a process, not a place, the quicker we will understand it. The flow of information and the flow of attention.” – Seth Godin
I don’t know what was more cool today….that I got to interview THE Seth Godin or the fact that he gave OSI THE scoop on their amazing eBay Live $10,000 promotion!!
If you weren’t on the call today, wow! You missed an incredible mind changing hour. My mind was racing with business ideas from Seth’s books before the call, and now I can’t stop thinking about where my ‘Dips’ are (besides my dating life – lol) and how I am going to be remarkable to push through the Dips.
We also got the info about Squidoo from the Head Squid himself. The lenses on Squidoo are getting ranked on the first page of Google!! (Up to 70% of traffic to their eBay Stores is now coming in from Squidoo!) The smart eBayers are making multiple lenses to promote their niche, products, services and more.

This interview alone will open your mind to another level of selling on eBay. Ever ask yourself, How can I ever survive selling the same things everyone else is selling on eBay? After listening to this interview, Your mind will be at ease and awaken by this Sleeping giant otherwise known as “Mr. Seth Godin”. You cannot afford to miss listening to this complete interview.

Seth Godin is the marketer to pay attention to for the 21st century. Seth thinks in the “non-traditional” marketing methods. It all seems so obvious after hearing him talk about. I continually wonder, “why didn’t they teach this to us in college”?
You will want to listen to this several times so you can take it all in piece by piece.
I also highly recommend reading his books, they are awsome. He’ll help you think about your business and the way you market it in a whole new way. My mind gets flooded with ideas each time I listen to this & read his work.
I hope Janelle can get another interview with him again soon.

That was an awesome interview with Seth. I actually spent a lot of time in the Squidoo booth at eBay Live with Megan, helping to answer questions about Squidoo, and how I’m using it to drive traffic to my eBay store. At the time of eBay Live (June 2007), Squidoo was the #6 source of traffic into my store. In September 2007 - it was #2 behind eBay itself. Squidoo outperformed Google in September for me. It’s an awesome resource, with an awesome team behind it, and I expect it to be a bigger and better part of my overall business going forward.
I’m a Squidoo addict, which is a good thing! You can see all the different ways I’m using Squidoo at my Lensography: http://www.squidoo.com/lenses-by-katiyana

Oh my gosh, I can hardly believe a web page created by my extremely talented friend Karen Hatch is on the first page of a google search at No 7! Janelle and Seth, I am just beginning a small business and I can’t thank you enough for introducing me to Squidoo. You both rock!

Excellent Interview! I’m reading Seth Godin’s, “The Dip” right now - I like the idea that you should be the best in your marketplace, but that market can be a small and narrow niche. If you’re competing in too large a scope of marketplace and not number 1, perhaps you need to reevaluate and narrow that field until you are #1.
I’m taking full advantage of Squidoo as well - thanks so much for that opportunity. You can check out some of my lenses at:

What a mind-altering interview. Seeing things through a different perspective is always great. Going right out to purchase the DIP and read it from cover to cover. Don’t miss this one! It’s definitely a “keeper”. Thanks Janelle and Seth for introducing this amazing concept!
OK, now let’s all go Squidoo!

As always, Seth Godin never fails to motivate! Love his way of thinking! The 3 P’s were interesting! Also, why you should never yell at people…you’ll just have to listen for yourself!
