Tales From the Online Marketing Crypt 9: Why Cheap Websites Are More Expensive Than You Think

Tales from the Online Marketing Crypt - Vol. 9 Your Website May Be Under-Performing Because It's Underpaid During one of my usual jaunts on Facebook, I came across a post where someone was making the argument to invest properly in a website, and they listed all the reasons to do so. Heck, I could have written that post myself! And as per usual, then came many responses that all pretty much said the same thing: "But what if I have no money?" Ah yes, the money objection is a big one. And a valid one too! So valid that it's something every parent has said to us when we were kids, right?

Old Marketing Tactics Used To Sell Baby Formula And Undermine Breastfeeding – New Technologies Claiming To Copy Human Milk

The rise of commercial formula Through...

African-American Entrepreneurs: Online Affiliate Marketing As a Viable Way To Work From Home

The current economic crisis is being called the worst economy since the depression of 1930. While over-all unemployment continues to climb, African-Americans are experiencing job losses at nearly double the national rate, and this is expected to worsen as the condition of the economy declines. However, as more people lose traditional jobs, more and more business owners are being created. By becoming a business owner and working for yourself, you are at least gaining some control over your financial future, which is why more people are turning to home-based businesses for security. African-Americans, by and large, have always been a very entrepreneurial group. The statistics on new business startups are very encouraging.
