28 Jun June 30, 2014 – Fizzler Corbett Barr & Southern CA Angel Jim Brandt
Corbett Barr started a very popular blog called Think Traffic several years ago on the theme of building profitable audiences online. His success and the interest of some friends lead to a bigger goal, a training library and community for creative entrepreneurs. Fizzle was born to show writers, makers, coders and artists how to support themselves independently using online sales. Fizzle has two meanings. To fail in a disappointing way and to buzz or crackle. The goal is to provide the community and education to stop ideas from fizzling out and to create the energy to keep you motivated to grow your business. See another interview with Corbett here….
