While I’m sure he rubs some up the wrong way his tips on building a successful blog (and business) were refreshingly honest, entertaining and inspiring. Here are 13 snippets/quotes of his keynote that I thought were ‘tweet worthy’.

• “answer every single email and every single comment on your blog’ for the rest of your FREAKING life.”
• “content is king but marketing is queen and the queen runs the household”
• “you have to go to every meetup you can possible go to”
• “pump out content – if you don’t produce something every day you’ll be out hustled”
• “‘Hustle – you have to work your face off.”
• “you need eyeballs – the easiest way to do this is to become part of the community”
• “induce conversation at every turn for the rest of your life”
• “your job is to create a connection”
• “be you and be every flaw”
• “it’s about putting up good content, creating conversation and spend 10% of your time working out how to make money”
• “if you’re not good at monetizing, get a bus partner that can.” do what u do & bring in others who can do the other stuff.”
• “if you’re a shy guy – become the greatest shy guy on earth”
• “don’t drink hatorade”
