Is Social Media Right for All Businesses?
According to statistics, more and more small businesses are beginning to use social media as a way to promote their business. While I agree that social media has become the 800 pound gorilla in the room, I’m not quite sure whether it’s effective enough to justify the amount of time invested. Before I go further, [...]
Email Marketing Done Right
What not to do. Buy a list and email blast everyone and their mom. Email blasts have become all the rage when it comes to marketing. They’re cheap, they’re quick, but you’ll also be surprised to find out that they’re not as effective as you would’ve hoped. For starters, email blasts are easily blocked [...]

I just read about a class action lawsuit from Rust Consulting in which they propose a settlement against Yahoo search marketing. The lawsuit alleges that “Yahoo breached its contract with its customers by allowing Yahoo ads to be displayed in spyware, domain name parking sites (bulk registration sites), pop-ups, pop-unders and typosquatting sites.” Here’s the [...]

Progressive Girl vs. Verizon Guy
I’ll be honest…I’m not too crazy about either of them (as characters). But if I had to choose one, I think the Verizon guy wins hands down. Not that he is so incredibly entertaining, but mainly because the Progressive girl is so creepy. What was Verizon thinking when they decided to introduce this “Flo” character as [...]
Silence TechDirt.com for $100,000,000
This is the weirdest, yet interesting offer I’ve ever seen by an authority website. Techdirt.com is willing to shut up for 1 year for $100,000,000. I wonder if this means that they’ll shut down their website for an entire year, or if they’ll simply stop publishing new articles for a year. I’m assuming an offer like this is probably targeted towards it’s [...]
What are Advertorials?
You can think of advertorials as a cross between an informative article and a sales copy. Advertorials usually start off by presenting a problem, and ends with a solution of some kind. The solution they offer is typically a sales pitch to subtly persuade the reader into buying something. To give you a better picture [...]

They’ve launched a website dedicated to the 10 year deal called ChoiceValueInnovation.com.

The Difficulties of Outsourcing Jobs
I’ve been outsourcing jobs, on and off, for the past 7 years. Projects ranging from logos and banners to entire websites and articles were on my list for outsourcing. In the beginning, I relied on services like Elance.com and Guru.com. Then, for a little while, I looked to forums like DigitalPoint and Sitepoint to outsource my work. In those 7 years [...]
FTC to Monitor Blogs for False Claims and Compensations
Have you heard of this? The FTC plans to monitor blogs for false claims and a lack of disclosure for compensation. As you know, there are tons of blog owners out there that recommend products or services in return for some sort of compensation, whether it be cash or free products. I would be curious to know how [...]
Ideas for New Inventions – Pitchmen
Yesterday, I watched my 1st episode of Pitchmen on Discovery. After watching the show, I began to wonder whether an average joe like me could come up with a new invention that could possibly end up on the shelves of Walmart one day. I’ve never took inventions too seriously, but the show yesterday inspired me. There was a story [...]
