An article I originally wrote for the eBiz Insider on creating value online was used in one of Solid Cactus’ education series, a resource hub for e-commerce business owners at www.solidcactus.com.

The eBiz Insider’s (published by Solid Cactus) November issue will hit shortly. I love the smell of ink, so I always love when they get delivered. Come to think of it, smelling so much ink as a kid probably explains a lot. My parents were muscians and music promoters, so we were ALWAYS at the [...]
