What Can We Learn from This Entrepreneur's Presentation? 

As an entrepreneur seeking funding for your business idea you will encounter skeptical investors armed with difficult questions.

I think entrepreneurs can learn valuable lessons by watching presentations such as those featured on BBC television's "Dragon's Den" and now copied in Canada on CTV.

StoryCode.com Dragon's Den Pitch

This is a 10 minute video featuring Steve Johnston, founder of StoryCode.com, pitching the business to the panel of serial entrepeneurs, "The Dragons" on BBC television's program Dragon's Den

About JimH

Hi Jim Hutton here, I'm a financial planner by day and internet entrepreneur (yes, I use that term loosely) by night. I started out several years ago blogging and dabbling in affiliate marketing.


If you own a website or many websites or need to add articles to your Squidoo lenses, or if you are a blogger or involved in article marketing you know how important it is to produce fresh new content on a regular basis.


It's crucial to your online success because a steady supply of new, well researched articles will insure the search engines will find your keywords.


You need to continually post unique, high quality content to your web sites to keep the attention of your visitors and the search engines!
The saying has been repeated time and again that "content is King." Really it's your visitor who is the king, but it's true that the only way to get more visitors is to have the kind of content that they are looking for: high quality, keyword-rich content that they can find using the major search engines.  


But writing top quality content in high paying subject areas that you know little about is a difficult task. You have to decide which topic you want to write about, then research subtopics that should be covered in your article, then go out and research information on each topic and subtopic you want to cover in the article--and that's all BEFORE you actually write anything! 


Does all of that sound like a lot of work? 


IT USED TO BE! It USED to take HOURS AND HOURS to create top-quality niche articles. Not anymore, though


imagine a software package that makes it INCREDIBLY EASY to create high quality articles on virtually any subject in just minutes!
