Why Do You Write?
Why do you write? Sounds like an odd question, doesn’t it? A couple of months ago, I’ve written an article here telling my readers why do I blog. I’ve asked them to share their reasons too and got great response and different reasons from bloggers on that. Today I thought to make it more interesting by asking you why do you write? Identifying the reason on why do you write…

Great customer service leads to loyal customers which is a key element of customer retention. From my previous post on customer retention, you’ll know how extremely important this is to growing and building your business as profitably as you can.

Trip Report: Leeds, Scotland, and Bangkok
It’s been a month since leaving the US, and it is crazy how fast the month has gone by. It has been fast, with lots of stories to tell and experiences to learn from. I could write all day about each one, but instead, I will give a summary of my last month.

So I’m Thinking About Attending ASW 2013…
I don’t attend conferences for a number of reasons, the top two being cost and the fact that I hate the actual "travelling" part (it’s a bit of a pain traveling from an island in Canada to the US). In fact, I’ve only ever been to one conference before, and that was BlogWorld way back in 2008, 4 years ago. It happened to be in Vegas, and I had…
Using Sponsored Stories to Generate Blog Traffic
Facebook Ads are dead. That’s something I’ve been hearing from a few months now and while it may be getting harder and harder to get your affiliate campaigns approved, I have been seeing awesome results from Facebook Ad campaigns I have been running lately. You just need to be a little more creative and use the new features within Facebook Ads to your advantage. One example of a Facebook feature within Facebook Ads that I have discussed before is Sponsored Stories. Sponsored Stories are special advertisements on Facebook you can use to promote your fan page or posts…

Designers Love Using iPhones in Web Design, But They’re Wrong
As a designer, one thing I’ve noticed as a web-design trend lately is to feature Apple products in the design, primarily iPhones. While I understand that they are beautiful devices I don’t think they are as beneficial to a design as many may believe. While I do believe that showing shots of your application or site being used is fantastic because being demonstrable is a great tactic for conversions, it’s that I don’t think an iPhone should be used in all cases. For example, the site cookwiz.me …

Craigslist Becomes a Scammy Nightmare for NJ Flood Residents in Need
There are billions of dollars of money being flooded into New Jersey right with all of the insurance companies and FEMA making the rounds. Throw in auto insurances and every other way to make money with construction, contracting and scamming, you are sure to make a killing, be killed or play by the rules. Right now there is basically NO WHERE to find a place to live or rent 30-40 miles from the shore. Throw in pet ownership and you are really screwed.

An Early Gift to the Industry From POF. Click Here to Unwrap :)
We have decided to remove the “Previously Converted” targeting option because we thought that we could do better. It’s a very cool option, don’t get me wrong, but you guys deserve the best so here it is. Instead of targeting people who have converted on a global level, we are now offering the ability to EXCLUDE people who have already converted on YOUR stuff… at a CAMPAIGN level. This will allow you to no longer show your ads to someone once they’ve…
