We all have “unfair advantages” such as skills or resources that no one else has. These unfair advantages give us an edge over our competitors and can help us stand out in the crowd.

This blog post by Pat Flynn explains this concept in depth and provides a list of seven unfair advantages and how to best use those advantages in order to be successful.

If you are a public speaker, you owe it to yourself to check out PodiumCue. It is a simple app that manages your speaker notes. You use simple swipe gestures to move from point to point. The color coding makes it possible always to know where you are in your talk. It is incredibly easy to use.

I just finished a page about all the tools I use. I arranged them by category: blogging, social media, speaking, podcasting, productivity, etc. You can find the page by clicking on “My Tools” in the navigation, but I didn’t want you to miss it because it was tucked away on a menu. I’d love to hear what tools you are using (leave on comment on the My Tools page).

Brad Lomenick of Catalyst says that When you are starting something new, “Act like you’ve arrived. No one needs to know you’re just starting. When you’re small, act and think big. When you’re big, act and think small.”

This is one of those ideas that is so simple and so elegant, you slap yourself on the forehead and say, “Of course!” You add tweets to your Buffer whenever you want. It then spreads them out during the day, so it doesn’t overwhelm your followers. (I’ve been guilty of this!) You set the times you want to tweet.

This is an excellent post on how to outsource your email inbox. It is several years old, so the technology has changed. However, it is still very relevant.

Don’t be put off by the slightly cheesy headline on the landing page. This content is fabulous. I have just finished listening to this 12-hour course, and it is killer. Ten years ago, I attended a copywriting “bootcamp.” I paid almost $2,000 plus expenses. It was worth every penny. But this course, by renowned copywriter David Garfinkel, is even better. It’s still expensive, but a fraction of what I paid for the bootcamp. If you are writing to sell—even if it is just a point-of-view—you must take this course.

I’m still not sure what I think of Google+. I have an account, and I am trying it out. I can’t imagine adding another social media network to my social media ensemble—unless something else goes. Regardless, this simple guide, created by Ben Parr at Mashable, will help you get up to speed quickly. What do you think about Google+?
