If you are an online entrepreneur, a blogger, a social media marketer, or an online influencer, and you're trying to grow your Pinterest and Instagram followers faster, you'd be smart to give 

MiloTree is a service that displays pop-ups on your site, asking your visitors to follow you on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube, or subscribe to your list.

I take a ton of photos and videos with my iPhone. This is the feature I love most about my phone. And it's the feature I like least. I only have 16GB of storage, and that's the problem.

My photos and videos have to be constantly downloaded. I can't tell you the number of times I've tried to capture a moment (like my daughter's hip hop recital), and I get the message that there's no more space!

Today, we went to the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA. The Maker Faire is "part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new." It's as if Burning Man, Google, and an artisan pickle maker had a baby.

Have you heard of Kickstarter yet? If you haven't, it's a "funding platform for creative ideas." And what does that mean? Well, it's a very cool way for creative people to raise money for their projects.

Here's how it works: the person with the project sets his or her funding goal and deadline for raising money. If the project reaches it's goal in the time allotted, the people who "back" the project have their credit cards charged and the person receives their funding. If the goal isn't reached, the person receives no funding and no credit cards are charged.

I had the pleasure of talking with Eden Godsoe , founder of SkinnyScoop. When she told me about her "list making" platform and site, I knew she had to share it with our readers. Come on, what woman doesn't love a good list!
