- Coopertition. No, that is not a typo. Coopertition, according to the Urban Dictionary, is when two rival team up to help each other compete. I thank Paul for introducing me to the term.

- Marketing. Above all, I’m a marketer. I want to experience the blog/social media sensation. See if it works to help me grow my business.
- Feedback. Maybe someone will have something brilliant to say.
