Read more »There is No ROI in Social Media…or is there?
A couple weeks ago, I read a post (wished I could find it now) which made the claim that there is no ROI in social media. This, of course, caused a rather intense debate (although somewhat one-sided since there are more social media pundits online than the latter) on whether this was true or not.

Can Soft Copy Convert Hard Sales?
I don’t want to get into an ethical is it right or wrong to write misleading ad copy and what you should or shouldn’t do when building copy that produces debate here.

My Take on Scarcity and Value
Frankly, the whole subject of scarcity annoys me. It annoys me because most people think of scarcity only in the most black and white terms.

Making Money with Blogs vs. Making Money with Niche Sites
Court put up a couple very pointed articles on his blog just recently that suggested that niche sites were the better route to go for the majority of people out there. Now obviously, his view on it is a bit slanted (he sells a course that promotes making money with niche sites) but [...]

When it comes to promoting your site, while what I am about to say is not necessarily practical, it is important. And hopefully, after I say this, there will be enough light bulbs going off in everyone’s heads to light New York (actually, I would be happy with one, single “A-MEN”)
It behooves you and [...]
How to Google Proof Your Business
