During the past 3 years I've written 200+ articles in publications like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Mashable, TechCrunch, Fast Company, and Time. The benefits I've received from this include a book deal, paid speaking gigs, 1,000% revenue growth at my agency during the first 12 months I was writing, and getting to meet a lot of awesome people. I got lucky. The opportunity to a contributor fell into my lap. But you can make it happen. This is how. Update: Due to popular demand I've launched an online course on how to become a Forbes contributor at www.joshsteimle.com/courses/become-forbes-contributor/.

The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

6 Ways Nonprofit and NGOs Can Imitate Journalists For Crowdfunding Success

Josh Steimle

In May, 2017 I had the opportunity to go "home" to BYU-Idaho (formerly Ricks College) where I graduated 20 years earlier in 1997 and speak at the Power 2 Become (P2B) event. I was asked to speak on "networking" and gave these tips based on my experiences as an entrepreneur and journalist. Some of the content may be "interesting" to a secular audience given the religious nature. To give context, BYU Idaho is a religious school, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka "Mormons") so I felt free to share content I wouldn't normally share with any other business audience. You can watch the accompanying video of my presentation at https://youtu.be/tbVoRsI0p1Q.

As a writer who has contributed over 200 articles to publications like Forbes, Inc., Mashable, TechCrunch, Entrepreneur, Time, and more, and also as a marketer who has to pitch content to other writers, I'm able to talk about what a bad pitch looks like and how you can use infographics, data, and other tools to increase the chance your content gets into the mainstream media.

This presentation accompanies an article I wrote for Entrepreneur Magazine at http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/252992. I've been running a digital marketing agency in Hong Kong for the past 3 years and have done business in China, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and more. Here are some of the things I've learned about doing business in Asia, and some tips when it comes to marketing in the region.

Marketing to Asia - What to Know, What to Do

Josh Steimle

In 2013 I moved my family to Hong Kong to open my digital marketing agency's first international office. This slide deck was used for a presentation at the San Francisco office of InvestHK on Nov 3rd, 2015, to explain why I chose Hong Kong for my business, and why I believe Hong Kong is a compelling first option for other businesses looking to expand to Asia. In the presentation I talked about the startup scene in Hong Kong, ease of doing business, and what it's like to live and work in Hong Kong. You may also be interested in my article in Entrepreneur at http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/252992.
