Allan Dick gave me a surprise interview at SES NYC a couple weeks ago. He asked me off the wall questions about blogging ethics and also some hard hitting questions about what makes me successful. All while I was in my skibbies in a claw foot tub. You can see the interview here:
It was totally a off the wall thing. Basically as I said in the interview I think one of the most important things a blogger can do is to be opinionated, outspoken, and just be yourself. Don’t regurgitate other peoples content and also don’t write your content for the search engines… write it for your readers.
What about deleting posts? What happened to that train wreck of a post that was here yesterday? Why did you decide to remove that?
very professional interview :O
Good interview. Why was there a tub there anyways?
That was the 2nd post I ever deleted… She called me apologized and said people were harassing her and she worried it was effecting her personal life and career.
You will find claw foot tubs where ever you find success! (and Allan Dick sponsored parties)
Very cool interview.
I saw something similar on youtube recently —
Bathtub Fun. It ain’t a clawfoot but it sure is entertaining
Good stuff jeremy…let’s see some more interviews like this one..;)
Who is Jeremy ShoeMoney??? When did you change your last name ShoeBaby???
I havent seen it, now I will need to look for a cached version hehe. Funny how we always want what we can not have…
hmmm i have a clawfoot tub… maybe i should start using it….
… i dont think there is a cached version… and it wasen’t that big of a deal
Well, I can certainly understand deleting the post if thats how it played out. But seriously, what did she expect was going to happen?
Anyways props to you for handling it so professionally.
Affecting her personal life? That seems like a bit of a stretch..
Dude his last name is not ShoeMoney..
I think he knows that. But in the video thats what they called him
Hahah this is one of the best things you’ve posted on your blog in a while. I laughed my ass off.
I think you made up a new phrase during the interview – “Intelligent enhancement” Hahah. Awesome.
You can thank captain morgan for that 😉
I found that a difficult watch, expecting him to break his neck, or do some damage.
Just out of curiosity, Shoe, do you have a clawfoot tub?
🙂
I say fair ’nuff
I think it was a prize at the SES conference in New York…?
It’s happened before… There have been some well publicized cases of cyber-bullying lately
Captain Morgan’s, eh Shoe? I like you more and more every day.
Great tips! I still don’t understand the tub though. Thanks Shoe!
I thought that deleted post was an interesting piece of drama.
I’m wondering what people told her to make her think it was affecting her career and personal life…
Apologized? For what?
Your blog was down for a minute…thought it was hacked!what happen!
nope just moved servers today 😉
Drop it already
Not a prize… just props for the Vintage Tub party. They had drinks in it when we showed up.
No wonder you’re not as successful as Jeremy. 😉
It was all just a bit of fun and any comments anyone made should have been taken in a pinch of salt. She will prob be getting a bonus for the free ad!
How come nobody ever asks me for an interview 🙁 Is it cause im Scottish 🙂
ShoeMoney… a bathtub… and skibbies… a front-page digg story waiting to happen? Heh.
What a great advice,”write for the readers”. Thanks.
i dont. I like him the same.
the tub is the key to his success thor!
Agreed – I loved the interview. Thank you for sharing this Shoemoney.
lol nice claw foot tubs
wow thats stupid
What’s the specs on the new one ?
actually this could be a good publicity stunt if he changed his real name to Jeremy Shoemoney!
I’ve experienced a 30% increase in IQ since using a claw foot tub, so I’m above the statistics 😉
for real? haha
What is going on with the updates…shoe?
Jeez he has to work sometimes you know 🙂
[…] the way, he was just a self made millionaire and you can see the video interview HERE. Oh before I forget, he have another secret, his clawfoot tub that enhances his IQ to 20% according […]
What blogging software is out there that allows us to put adsense in the right or left margins?
Good points. I also agree that being opinionated is one of the most important things. With so many blogs out there it’s hard to stand out so writing just good content isn’t really good enough anymore, not with blogs. You need to be very influencial and uniqiue.
