In a past episode I talked about how you can get started with a job in internet marketing for those who are a little more green in the industry. But in Silicon Valley, there's a shortage of designers and developers for sure, but the real shortage is in really good internet marketers.

I've talked about RescueTime before, but I wanted to dive into it a little deeper and illustrate how you can use it in tracking your time effectively.

This episode is specifically for Mac users - I'm recommending an app that lets you pull up application shortcuts quickly. I love shortcuts, but I tend to forget them even though they make my life a lot easier and save me from making excessive key strokes.

I just finished the book The Personal MBA, and today I'm recommending it to you. People are talking about how MBAs are becoming commoditized and there's so much information out there, and I think The Personal MBA is good because it tells you about the ins and outs of businesses you might not know about.

I went on a retreat last week with Entrepreneur's Organization, and one of the exercises we did was to set our annual vision statement. It was a lot of fun, but creating an annual vision statement and putting it somewhere I'll see it every single day helps put me in the right frame of mind for getting things done.

I've been trying to push Facebook ads for my hiring product to drive volume, but it hasn't been working out very well in driving webinar signups. But I've heard that others have been able to get webinar signups for $5 to $10 in Facebook ad spends, so I started exploring ways to increase my ROI from Facebook.

Giving a potential hire a situational interview lets you see whether or not they truly understand what they're talking about, and bigger companies love to do them - especially for executive and hands-on roles.

I've talked about hiring virtual assistants in the past, but before you take the plunge, it's important to think about what you should be testing them on.

Today we're talking about how you can delegate your work and do the things that really only you can do. Entrepreneurs have the tendency to take control and micro-manage everything, but this isn't scalable. I'm guilty of it too, but I've also found that it almost never works.

I use the word "cheap" very carefully, because you do get what you pay for. So if you want to do something complex, you're probably better off not using someone who's cheap and offshore... you'll want to work with someone in-person and who you're confident can produce great work. I'm recommending these resources for more intermediate work, like updating a website, making it responsive, etc. Leave some feedback: What should I talk about next? Please let me know on Twitter or in the comments below.
