For years I have written posts here about what marketers can learn from x. Pretty much everything from the Pickup Artist TV show to Harry Potter.
There is a famous saying something like – “Once you master a craft you can recognize it in anything you do”.
I would replace the master part with passion. I think when you are passionate about something you can see analogies to it in a lot of things.
Years ago I asked for guests posts from internet marketers about what they can take away from other every day stuff. It was pretty cool.
I was thinking the other day we almost have enough content to put together a book called “What Internet Marketers can learn from…”. People seem to love those kind of stories.
But we need more content. So lets have another contest!
Every post we publish will receive a Verizon mifi hotspot. Its the pay as you go units so no contract necessary!
Submit your guest post here about what you learn from things.
Example posts from the past:
- What Internet Marketers Can learn From Harry Potter
- What Marketers Can Learn From The Green Lantern
- What the TSA Can Learn from Internet Marketers
- 7 Reasons Entourage is Like SEO
- How SEO is Like Guitar Hero (or Rock Band, if That’s Your Thing)
- What internet marketers can learn from a trucker
- What Internet Marketers Can Learn From a Teenage Boy Asking a Girl to Prom
- 3 Things Internet Marketers Can Learn From Heroes
- What Internet Marketers Can Learn From My Haunted Toilet
So for the next couple weeks we will be taking submissions and EACH ONE that we post will receive a Verizon Mifi “pay as you go” $200 mobile hotspot.

I think I will become a great follower.Just want to say your article is striking. The clarity in your post is simply striking and i can take for granted you are an expert on this subject.
Just wanted to check, have you started sending out the Mi-Fi devices for the posts that were published? I wrote the one on Dexter.
Thanks,

Well love the idea of the contest.. Yet I have to say, and more importantly, I learnt a big deal about success and how it’s found when you keep your mind open to influence from the right places.
I wonder this was a great story of lateral thinking meets some kind of inspiration… However I wonder if you wouldn’t mind sharing something with us? Something that may show those who are on a journey, that you too have had your fair share of failures and used those lessons, as all who have passion to stay cognitive and learn from every mistakes/failure/disappointment.
Again great read
