Web Worker Daily

(April 25, 2007) It's been a long time since I recommended a blog. For the most part, few are consistently useful enough to merit routine attention. Fighting through the navel gazing that passes for transparency and into the act of real content creation is too much work for most bloggers.

Web Worker Daily is a real exception. Part of the GigaOm conspiracy, the blog is focused on emerging trends in the workplace, from a techie perspective:

There's a culture clash inside office buildings where workers from the busyness economy sit in cubicles next to workers from the burst economy — web workers. Yes, that's right: even if you work as a corporate employee in an office building, you may still be a web worker, using the Web for radical and unconventional productivity. If you are, your coworkers who don't get how the Web changes work may think you're a malingerer, given your incessant online connecting and surfing combined with your lack of attention to the old rules of work. (Emphasis added)

The busyness economy works on face time, incremental improvement, strategic long-term planning, return on investment, and hierarchical control. The burst economy, enabled by the Web, works on innovation, flat knowledge networks, and discontinuous productivity:

We need the busy AND the burst economy. The busy economy gives us our groceries, our electrical power, and our newspapers every morning. However, many companies will find themselves at risk of not benefiting from the hyperproductivity of the burst economy because to the busy, it looks like an excuse for slacking off rather than blasting off.

With gems like 5 Reasons to Use a Paper To Do List, the blog routinely shows that its audience is not trend watchers. The team behind Web Worker Daily focuses on making the trends intelligible to the people being impacted by them. It's social criticism of a sorts...the kind of anthropology that helps a reader navigate the terrain they're in.

While RSS and community without purpose filtration systems will feed you a flow of material that you don't want, there are many useful media sources that try to give you what you need. Having that level of service is what distinguishes a useful tool from a river of noise.

I'd recommend taking s long look at Web Worker Daily. You just might want to read it on a regular basis,

World Class Marketing Consultant Offers
Free Evaluation of Your Potential for Big Gains

In a free phone session, Ron Richards, President of ResultsLab, will hear your goals then give you a free whirlwind analysis of your site or ads.

Richards named his firm ResultsLab because he has a track record of causing big results and because he uses a continuous improvement testing methodology. Some of his most unique approaches are…

Radical truth and honesty - He builds your positioning, tag line, headlines and other grabbers by discovering a deep truth about you that resets the standard and disqualifies competitors.

But what if your advantages over competitors aren't compelling to prospects - and indeed aren't different enough as a basis for powerful positioning? In that case, Ron recommends changes in your offering, or even your infrastructure, that make a powerful positioning you develop with him become true - one that disqualifies your competitors.

As needed he develops names, tag lines, grabbers, arguments that devastate qualms, and results-multiplying calls to action. He applies these to your site, ads, and emailings.

ResultsLab's approach is different from any other agency or consultant. Read how here.

Call Ron for your free session where he'll listen closely to your goals, flag what's improvable and to what extent, and say some of the specific improvements he envisions.

He's at 415-563-5300, or RonR@ResultsLab.com.

Typical comments from his clients' case stories:
"The highest response we've ever seen after working with lots of famous agencies and consultants,"
"The most successful system I've ever heard of for getting access to top executives,"
"A master builder in all media,"
"the most creative and skillful marketing consultant I've ever had the pleasure to work with,
"finds the hottest arguments and grabbers,"
"demolished the price qualms that had eluded our sales and marketing experts for 10 years."
"Beat our control by 4 fold."
