The famous blogger I would like to cover for this unit is Yanik Silver. Silver's story is one of ingenuity and persistence. Starting with just a couple hundred dollars in his one bed-room apartment he was able to make over $13,000,000,000 with his only business partner being his wife. Yanik is the author, co-author, and publisher of several popular entrepreneurial books including his most popular, "Moonlighting on the Internet". Yanik's blog is focused on combining his adrenaline seeking personality with his business associate view of life to create Maverick Business Adventures. He completely believes that by subjecting oneself to extreme conditions such as sky-diving or floating in zero gravity, as he has done in the past, that individuals will concoct incredibly forward thinking motives towards the business work place. The adrenaline pumping through one's veins is stimulating for business, Yanik believes.
Many of his blogs detail the struggles of the entrepreneurship world. His latest blog featured on, http://www.internetlifestyle.com/blog/, talks about how his trainer had an idea to create a workout video for brides to get into shape before their wedding day. However when the trainer went to a small exhibit at a bridal expo only two or three copies were purchased. After a year had passed Yanik convinced his trainer to try again, this time the DVD was focused on a tough trainer who allows no excuses to slack off, however this project failed as well. The series of events that happened to his trainer gave Yanik the idea to create a new business model titled the "Cash on Tap System". He explains that many people go through the trial of creating a blog or entrepreneurial idea only to have it fail or have about one or two comments for every three posts. The one thing that gets people motivated is stimulation and response to their blog. When the author of a blog notices that people are listening and responding to their material, the author feels empowered and as though they are making an impact. What people need is motivation to create a project and when response is given, it is like "fuel to a rocketship", Yanik explains. However, the individual needs to find the right idea that sparks with an audience. Unless that idea is ideal to others, it will not ignite.
