To me, the phrase "digital publisher" encompasses much of what I do within my business. I create and publish articles and books and blogs and web sites. I make and publish videos and animations.

These things exist in digital format. That is, they’re not printed on paper or transferred to video tape. They exist only as electric signals travelling from computer to computer across the internet.  They are digital. I am, therefore, a digital publisher.

But a title is only useful if it conveys information, and the phrase "digital publisher" clearly does not communicate to most people. I have therefore crowned myself with the new title, "Maker of Stuff," and when people ask me what I do, I say, "I make stuff and market on the internet."

My new title lets me add in some of the things I do that are non-digital. Now I say, "I make digital products like ebooks and I also make hard goods like T-shirts, and I sell them all on the internet."

That’s turned into my "elevator speech,"  the 30-second introduction I pull out when I only have  seconds to explain who I am and what I do. And that 30-second introduction turned into an ebook that explains how I use digital publishing and manufacture-in-demand services to make and sell all sorts of stuff–and how you can do it, too.

The need to market that book inspired me to make the video shown below that introduces me as a maker of stuff. And because I’m using all the sorts of simple ( but powerful and secret) ways to make simple videos and use them to drive traffic, I thought, "Hey, I bet other people would like to know how I do this!"

And that thought has turned into a new product, one I’m

I’m working on now. I think that’s a perfect example of how applying creative thinking to a problem —in my case, the problem of how to introduce myself —can lead to all sorts of unexpected ideas and products.

Suddenly I knew, really knew how people feel in cities like Flint and Detroit and everywhere else where the unthinkable is happening-companies everyone thought would last forever are closing their doors and jobs everyone thought would always be there are suddenly gone. Jobs like "auto worker" and  "journalist."

All around the planet, systems from the last century are breaking down. The world economy is in collapse. Stock markets are melting. Jobs that once offered a lifetime of security have ceased to exist. People that once were trusted have been exposed as imbeciles and crooks.

With all this going on, a lot of people are focused on finding ways to put things back the way they were. Not me. I don’t think things will ever go back the way they were. And if we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll admit the way things were was not particularly good for a lot of people on this planet.

We human beings are capable of so much more than we’ve been demonstrating. And I think this turmoil is life itself calling us out about that, demanding we grow up and find new ways of thinking, of doing, of being. I think life wants us to put on our creativity caps and come up with a whole bunch of better ideas.

Creativity is an innate human quality. Each of us has the power to dream, to imagine and to create. I believe that’s why so many spiritual writings from the Bible to the Mayan myths refer to us as the "sons of the gods" or "made in God’s imagine." For God, no matter how you conceive of that entity, is the Creator and if we are made in the Creator’s image, logic says we are also creators.

Then let us be creative. Let us do what we are born to do—stand up and flex our creative muscles and build new systems, new companies, new jobs, new visions and new dreams!

Bean counters and bureaucrats are necessary in any established system. But now, with established systems in tatters, we can’t afford to let the bean counters and bureaucrats carry the conversation. Only creative people can save the planet!

No matter where you are in your life, no matter where you are on this planet, you have, through the internet, the means of sharing your creativity with the world. Through blogs, web sites and social networks, with articles and videos and audios, you can add your ideas to the planet’s thought stream and help turn the tide toward less fear, more courage and creativity.

The job is open. Will you accept the position?
