The Seaway to Creative: Delano Myers on How to Become an Outstanding Content Creator

Published

on

So, you want to be a Youtuber? Or maybe you’d like to run a blog or podcast or some other kind of creative channel?

Well, hold up a minute. Before rushing into anything, you should know that the wreckages of hasty blogs and half-baked channels litter the waters of content creation, and if you go in without a plan, your “content” is very likely to join the debris.

What you need is an experienced sailor who knows the waters of content creation and can help you avoid the treacherous waterways that claim so many new creative efforts and help you navigate your way to your port of destination. 

And who better than Delano Myers, award-winning UI/graphic designer, and web developer. He’s been awarded the Cayman island Marketing Association award for the Creative Professional of 2008, and he sat on the board from 2019-20. He’s worked as a creative for over ten years and is very experienced reading the currents and winds of content, and he shares some of the knowledge he’s gathered on content creation over the years.

Work with What You Have

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with creating, especially creating things with what I had readily available,” Delano tells me. Delano seized every opportunity to create, whether with the school’s simple camera from the photography club or watercolors from art class. When he discovered the magic of digital creation, he exploited every free tool he could find, and before long, he was proficient in using Photoshop.

Things are a lot easier these days. Much creative software offers free trials or free versions, and if that’s not enough, there are open source alternatives you can use to get started. There is so much at your disposal, so master the basics first.

Learn

“Never Stop Learning. The moment you stop learning, you miss out on innovation,” Delano says. And he’s right, especially in today’s digital world where innovation is customary practice. Seek out mentors, read books and keep up with the news. Do whatever you must to ensure that you do not fall behind in your knowledge.

Go Digital

Digital is the future, even for creatives. Much content is moving online, and innovations such as NFT’s are only accelerating the transition. 

Delano recalls the first time he experienced digital content. He says, “during university, I took a web development and design class, and seeing “hello world” on the screen for the first time sparked my curiosity, and I wanted to know what else I could do with the free tools at my disposal.”

The accessibility, efficiency, and ease of using digital resources are reasons to move over. Innovative features improve the efficiency and effectiveness of digital work, and it is practically impossible to compete without them.

Start Creating

Getting started can be tricky. Delaney has experienced this first-hand. He says, “Being passionate about all things creative means I want to do all things creative, and a lot of the time, I find that the things that intimidate me the most are not as intimidating once I just start.” His advice to you and himself is just to start. Only the first few steps are the hardest.

Work Hard

“My work habit is simple,” Delaney tells me. “Work till it’s done… I’m not a robot, but I believe in doing good work, and good work takes time.” People often think creating is always fun and easy or takes little to no skill to create videos, graphics, or websites. That could not be farther from the truth. Creating is a complex business, but it can also be an enriching experience. Having a passion for creating makes it a lot easier, and for Delaney, what makes him feel inspired to be his best self is the “satisfaction of knowing that I put 100% of my effort into something and it yielded a helpful result.”

Be Honest

A huge part of learning is admitting that you don’t know but being ready to learn. “Be honest about what you can’t do and learn it of you can,” Delaney says. “I believe that if I don’t know how to do something, it is honest and empowering to say listen I don’t know how to do this, and even if I lose out because I don’t have the skillset, this is just an opportunity to learn.” 

Create honest content that is genuinely helpful to your audience. Don’t use cheap tricks like clickbait or outright lies. They might work in the short term, but it is impossible to build anything long-lasting on them.

Conclusion

You need to do many things and not do even more things to succeed as a creator. Taking the time to locate the best watercourses and avoid hazards will be a deciding factor in your success.

Miixed Realities Proves Medical Billing Doesn’t Have to Be a Black Hole

Published

on

Miixed Realities

For most clinics, the revenue cycle feels like throwing money into a void. Claims go out, denials pile up, and thousands of dollars sit in accounts receivable while practices wonder what’s actually happening. It’s a problem Gianni Gonzalez heard about repeatedly before founding Miixed Realities.

The company started from a conversation with a doctor in Hawaii who described the same billing headaches Gonzalez kept hearing from practices nationwide. Different states, different specialties, same struggle. “Patient care was never the problem. Billing was,” Gonzalez says. What clinics needed wasn’t more software. They needed experienced people who actually knew how to work claims from start to finish.

That’s where the company comes in. Miixed Realities, a leading medical billing office in El Paso, Texas, places HIPAA-certified, US-based billers directly inside a clinic’s existing electronic health records system and manages the full revenue cycle. Every claim runs through an in-house AI verification system before submission, and denied or unpaid claims get actively worked until they’re resolved. The pricing is straightforward: $5 per processed bill plus 6% of successfully recovered claims. No setup fees, no monthly retainers, no long-term contracts.

The company reports strong results. According to Miixed Realities, one pediatric clinic recovered $60,000 in just two weeks, and practices typically see 30% higher collections within weeks of onboarding. More than five practices have replaced their offshore teams with the company’s US-based billers. Miixed Realities integrates with over 50 practice management systems, including AthenaHealth, Kareo, Epic, and Cerner, and says it can have a practice up and running within 48 to 72 hours.

What sets them apart from offshore providers, according to the founder, is attention to detail and direct communication during US business hours. The company maintains 95-98% clean-claim rates and processes claims within 24 hours. Clients get full visibility through a real-time dashboard that tracks pending submissions, approved claims, denial statuses, and recovered revenue.

Miixed Realities is expanding its internal verification technology and onboarding specialty-specific billing teams. Practices nationwide can request a full audit to see exactly where revenue is being missed. It all goes back to that initial realization: clinics shouldn’t lose revenue because of preventable billing issues. With the right people and systems, they don’t have to.

Inside the Amazon Reinstatement Process: The aSellingSecrets Approach

Published

on

When an Amazon seller account is suspended, confusion often sets in immediately. Automated messages, vague policy references, and limited communication channels make it difficult for sellers to understand what went wrong, let alone how to fix it. aSellingSecrets was created to bring clarity and structure to this process through a methodical approach to Amazon account reinstatement.

The reinstatement process at aSellingSecrets begins with a comprehensive account audit. Instead of responding directly to Amazon’s first notification, the team reviews seller performance metrics, historical warnings, prior appeals, listing activity, and operational workflows. This deeper analysis helps identify not only the stated reason for suspension, but also contributing factors that Amazon may not explicitly mention.

Once the root causes are identified, the team develops a tailored reinstatement strategy. This strategy is not limited to a single appeal submission. It includes corrective actions, operational adjustments, and communication sequencing designed to align with Amazon’s internal review process. The goal is to demonstrate accountability, compliance awareness, and long-term risk reduction, factors Amazon consistently prioritizes during reinstatement reviews.

A key component of the aSellingSecrets process is professional appeal creation. Each appeal is written with precision, focusing on facts rather than emotion. Clear explanations, structured corrective measures, and forward-looking prevention steps are combined to present a strong, credible case. This approach avoids common mistakes such as over-explaining, assigning blame, or submitting incomplete responses.

For complex or prolonged cases, aSellingSecrets leverages its professional attorney network in both the U.S. and EU. Legal insight is especially valuable in cases involving intellectual property claims, repeated suspensions, or compliance escalations. This added layer of expertise strengthens appeals and ensures alignment with regional regulations, and with 97% Success Rate on across all-time appeals.

Throughout the process, sellers are kept informed with realistic expectations. Reinstatement is rarely instant, and timelines can range from weeks to several months depending on the severity of the issue. aSellingSecrets emphasizes consistency and persistence, continuing to refine and submit responses when necessary until Amazon reaches a final decision.By combining structured analysis, strategic communication, and professional expertise, aSellingSecrets has built a reinstatement process designed for long-term success. Rather than offering quick fixes, the agency focuses on restoring seller accounts in a way that reduces future risk and helps businesses move forward with confidence.

Young Romanian Entrepreneur Explores Lisbon’s Thriving Startup Scene

Published

André Marquet & Darius Borda

There’s a certain kind of clarity that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. For Darius Borda, a young Romanian entrepreneur, that moment arrived in Lisbon, where he spent months collaborating with André Marquet, founder and CEO of Productized. What started as an exploration of Portugal’s tech ecosystem turned into something more concrete: the groundwork for his next business venture.

Borda didn’t just observe. He participated. He got involved in startup accelerators, the Productized Conference, the EUDIS Defence Hackathon, and the Lisbon GenAI Meetups, an exclusive community of AI specialists. It’s the kind of immersive experience that can’t be replicated from a distance.

André Marquet

“I came to Lisbon curious about entrepreneurship,” Borda said. “I left with new connections and the confidence to take the leap on my new business venture. Collaborating with André Marquet and being surrounded by people creating and launching their ideas was the best kind of learning.”

The collaboration worked both ways. Marquet found value in Borda’s IT management background and business instincts. “Collaborating with Darius Borda has been highly valuable,” Marquet noted. “His IT management expertise was essential to the organization of the Productized Conference, and his strong business acumen enabled meaningful deep-dives into entrepreneurial opportunities of mutual interest.”

Darius Borda

Beyond the formal events, the real work happened in conversations about defence tech, entrepreneurship, and early-stage startup ideas. Those discussions haven’t ended. There’s talk of future collaborations, though nothing’s set in stone yet.

The experience gave Darius Borda something he didn’t have before: a clearer sense of what’s next and the foundation to build on it. Sometimes that’s what you need. Not answers, just enough clarity to start.
