You probably know all marketers are liars and every ebook promises that you’ll make thousands a day or millions in a few months. Also most people who have a hypothesis try to convince the others they are right. Unfortunately many people fall for all these and they take everything for granted. That’s why “get rich quick” ebooks get sold and why people screw it day by day. I have done this mistakes in the past too and they have affected me a lot, but now I triple check everything and [...]

Last year has been the best one for me and I’ve learned a lot of things I want to share with you. I think I’ve become more mature professionally and I’m very happy about it. So here’s what I’ve learnt last year: 1. Stick to what brings value Until now I was working on what I liked the most and I didn’t have a plan.

I know 2011 has been here for two weeks already, but my vacation has just ended and I really wanted to stay away from the PC this time, which made me feel very good and relaxed. Now I want to think about what I did in 2010 and how was the year for me. I’ve had a lot of goals last year and I managed to accomplish almost all of them, though my needs have changed in the meantime. I wanted to get a home and I didn’t, but I [...]

An online business is not about traffic numbers, but conversions and revenues, so don’t focus on getting as much traffic as you can, instead rely on quality. There are an infinite traffic sources and some of them are very cheap, while others are very expensive. You must think there must be a reason the prices differ so much and CPM for websites in the same niche can be very different.

Just what my title says and the way it looks, I mean keep it simple whatever website you have, because you’ll get the best results and conversion rates. I have always wanted to have simple websites that readers can understand how to use easily and don’t get lost. It’s very important to make your website simple, because not everyone is tech savvy and most of them don’t understand the internet at all. I have had some very complex websites, with many web 2.0 elements and the results were very bad, [...]

On October 19th Google stopped indexing a lot of blogs. I can’t tell the number right now, but I guess there are tens of thousands affected or even more. I noticed that TechCrunch, Mashable and even the Google Apps Developer blog have been affected. It’s been almost 48 hours since Google stopped indexing posts from these blogs, though it is still indexing their tags and that’s why the issue is really strange. I believe it’s either a big Google bug or they’re currently working on something and doing some tests. Something similar [...]

Facebook has a lot of advantages over the other social networks and social media websites, being much bigger than all of them and you also don’t need a very strong profile to succeed. Though having a powerful profile will help you, so I will give you a few tips about making one. I have [...]
