The concept of gamification in eCommerce makes sense and is slowly coming about. There’s a new related trend that has come about though…
Example of a Game in an eCommerce Application. Shopee provides games in their Android application which don’t have an obvious link back to the shopping experience.

I believe this slow-cooked BBQ pork ribs is my first recipe post. Don’t worry though as it likely won’t become a regular thing it’s just that this recipe has been asked for AND the dish received the seal of approval from my mother in law!

It’s nice to think that systems can do everything. But what about people? People respond to motivation and sometimes that means rewards and punishments.
In preparing for this post I re-read the relevant section of “The Accidental Salesperson“, wrote and re-wrote a movie script, did multiple read-throughs, waited for the right lighting and free time, set up the sound, did multiple takes, edited the video in iMovie, uploaded it to YouTube including setting a thumbnail and closing screen with adjusted timings and then created this matching blog post on fozziewossie.com.

Therefore, should I have a personal brand? (Yes!)
What is my personal brand? (Someone who shares unique insights)

And will I have to make these sessions every week forever? (Yes!)
So what’s your personal brand?
