    Hey guys questioning college. Check this out!

    MINDSET 
    That might work for many subjects, but not science (including anything health related). I gained my degree nearly 20 years ago now, when they actually taught you to think. Now here in NZ the quality has deteriorated as we introduced a market / business ideology to tertiary education...

    It just doesn't add up?

    MARKETING 
    I'll add my 2 cents worth here. $0.05 seems like an extremely low cpm! That just does not seem right. I'd be rechecking that figure, and if it's right I'd expect it to change, down. I've got a fb campaign currently going which I tweak every few days (change the targeting) and my current ctr is...

    Thank you! We're tweaking it, adding a fun stress test, a little humour, updating the 404 page with a pic of "broken" nature (clear felling or pollution) etc. while we wait for several copies of the DVD we are sending out to be tested by various people. The other thing I'm doing is...

    I like the colours on that template, but it would be a hard sell to my other half with the black. We have come up with a colour palette and implemented it in the website, using a search on kuler to find "zen" and "nature". What to you think of it? Nature Stress Relief I've changed the logo...

    New Role of Banks Discussion

    This is a topic I've thought a lot about and am very interested in. first up: I'm from New Zealand so I'm not invested in any way in the political arguments that I see happen in the USA. I agree that we have come to see money as the end rather than the means. With it now being a store of...

    I've purchased that book "Don't Make Me Think!" and will be reading it tomorrow. It looks like an excellent guide, thanks for the tip! We have compiled a colour theme which is nature focussed and calming. We've changed the site with new colours. What do you think? There was some discussion in...

    Thank you. I'm going over the copy on the site to refine it today, and I'll see how I can make the "about" page more like a story. We've left the science stuff on its own page with a navigation from the top, with everything else, but moved it over. I'll be writing "stories" with lots of...

    Give me your opinion on my Domain Name For Video Tutorials Site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    nope, its a good idea I think to make tutorial videos about certain programs my point was you need to be aware there are different versions of each program and your video should state what version it is of very clearly, and your site should be organised so users can find which version of which...

    Start up brainstorm (outside the box thinking exercise)

    most of them deal with only larger businesses it seems there are few brokers who will deal with the sale for a smaller business I see a gap in the market here perhaps a different approach to supplying services, smaller services with clear pricing and packaging, which would appeal to smaller...

    Give me your opinion on my Domain Name For Video Tutorials Site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    it's a good idea, but the competition is really stiff what you're outlining is the type of thing I have used so I'll give you my 2 cents worth on what pissed me off when I used it, this may give you some ideas on how you could market your tutorials to be better than the competition? I have an...

    Thank you very much! Will look at your links, thank you for taking the time to post them. We only gave colour a little thought so agreed, it could do with a better approach. I still have the fun "stress test" to add also...

    Will do. It's pretty simple so far, we want to get more birds to add to it. I'm hoping the sales of the first DVD will allow for us to buy some better sound recording equipment. I've learned SO much about video recording, and although our HD camera is fantastic and the visual footage is great...

    An update on our progress: www.naturestressrelief.com We have gone through the process of learning how to author a DVD (not easy) and have found a manufacturer. Our first DVD is now ready for sale! The proof arrived in our letter box a couple of days ago and looks very good. It plays well on...

    Good point. I guess we have a lot of video that we will not be able to use then! We certainly do plan on having a good preview, with enough footage of each scene in the video so that buyers know exactly what they're getting before they purchase. Except there is no drama. It's just video of a...

    this is another good idea, and one we had thought of before too. yes, when the files are all processed we may sell them for download as mp3 on our site. I'm thinking 99cents each perhaps we have some really beautiful birdsong and nice water sounds. thank you for your feedback! yes, I think...
