As part of our Founders Spotlight, we like to highlight promising startups. This week we’re shining our light on Teamitt.
Teamitt helps companies unleash the passion of employees along with helping employees realize their purpose at work. Teamitt simplifies creating engagement with your employees, customers and at events. It not only allows you to set engagement goals but also allows you to measure and reward engagement.
In the existing models, motivating employees lies in the hands of their managers. As we all know, not every manager is an expert in the art of motivating employees, and even if they are, it is not humanly possible for a manager to motivate all employees on a daily basis and in a consistent manner.
Startup Savant, built by Ryan James and hosted by Liesha Petrovich, is the ad-free online magazine that helps aspiring business owners get started on the right track. With authors from across the country, they feature guides to help you start, run, and grow a successful business in California

Are you interested in gaining more media coverage without spending an extra penny? Understanding the basics of relationship marketing can help you reach that goal. I’m going to assume that you know the basics of writing and distributing a news release. If not, have a member of your staff enroll in a local community college to ensure your approach is in line with what editors expect. That being said, the best way to get ink is to invest in quality relationships.

Statistics show the majority of people aren’t enthralled with their work. Interpreting the statistics meaning forces me to come to the conclusion it’s difficult for them to have a great time because instead of excelling they reached a plateau which causes static thinking, worry, stress, or tiredness. One way to break anhedonia is by applying the following peak performance structure to improve your mindset, mood, and motivation.

3 weeks ago I ran a contest asking for great idea’s to help me get my blog onto 12most.com, a website that has taken over my brain. I had to have my blog published there. Why? Who knows; I love the concept and the creativity, and the writers are top notch. And I got some great responses, although it was hard, wasn’t it, coming up with topics that weren’t just 12, but 12 MOST….that tripped most people up. I also promised that the winner of my little contest , should it get me accepted into 12most.com would win either a multi page, in depth website analysis, or if the winner could care less about the optimization of their website or a website at all, a 30 minute marketing consultation on the subject of their choice.

A year ago, In February of 2011, I wrote an amazing article titled : “It’s a New Dawn; Protect Your Online Reputation”. It was one of the first blogs I’d written and I was filled with great confidence about the vast value it was going to offer my “online community”. After all, I have awesome services to sell, and I knew people would hungrily sign up for them, and most definately hire me to protect their online reputation. I was targeting a strategic market, offering services at a competitive price and providing interesting content on various platforms. All the stuff the big gun Joe Pulizzi talks about.
As part of our Founders Spotlight series, we cover new, promising startups. This week we’re featuring Eye Capture, a free mobile app designed for magazines that acts like QR codes on steroids — only without the QR codes or the steroids.
With Eye Capture, you take a picture of the entire page — no tiny QR codes or hidden codes or any codes — and are presented with an screen full of images and magazine-approved links of content that’s directly related to what’s on that page.
You can visit product websites, watch a video or two or three, Like them on Facebook, follow them on twitter, and yes, even buy the product, all from the capture of just the single page. All without having to search for it on a browser, or dig through confusing websites on your iPhone or iPod.
Dollar Shave Club gives us a clean cut example of how to make a razor sharp video for launching a site.
Can you top this hilarious startup video? If so, send it our way!
