    Importance of a blog on eCommerce site?

    MARKETING 
    It can be a competitive advantage and differentiator, help build a community around your shop, help establish authority in the topic etc. Should help with SEO too. Drawback is that it's work and it won't happen fast, it will take time to build it up.

    He could probably use other stock site with better terms, that do not limit possible sales. One less things to worry about.. ask him if he's gonna be doing custom cover art for you.

    PUBLISHING 
    He doesn't, but other designers use the same stock photos sometimes. That's why there are some very similar covers or covers that have the same face etc but different background. Not identical but still, a bit duplicated. Not on purpose tho, it's just that some stocks are so good everyone loves...

    PUBLISHING 
    Yeah, there is 4 or something I know. Duplicate stock images happen definitely. But bigger problem can be licenses, not all companies allow using stock to sell premades. Some consider them to be a template which then requires an Extended license.. You need to clear it up with the designer first..

    Re-introducing myself

    Hey guys, I've been an active member on Fastlane forums few years ago (end of 2011) but was limiting myself to one forum about business (and it was Dynamite Circle by Dan Andrews guy from Lifestyle Business Podcast) after that. Didn't really participate in discussions here, but I'm rereading...

    Best Places for Cover Images?

    I think you're misinterpreting the License from DepositPhotos. I use them for covers I do all the time. Standard licence is enough, unless you are doing a book with lots of pictures that are main selling point. You can use stock photos for book or DVD covers etc, even for Print versions...

    Who has sold a web-based business? (Besides MJ?)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Id hire a new guy who wants to get into biz and has little preconceived notions about PPC.. Or, why not approach guy like Dan Kennedy himself, or his GKIC company and sell to them. It makes sense for them to buy it. They could probably grow it too. Or, GKIC was sold to some company itself and...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    The Way of the Fight by George's St. Pierre - amazing read. Not a traditional book about fighter. It's a guy who became on of the greatest ever at what he does, sharing his knowledge and analysing himself. Unlike most successful folks who don't know why they really succeed GSP is very very...

    Closing the gap: Digital Art and Millions.

    It's definitely a sad truth that most creatives don't get paid enough. But it's their own fault mostly. I've now worked in 3 creative industries and common thread is that art is pure and marketing/selling is bad. You're a sellout if you do so. Seen it in music, writing and graphic design. Least...

    Donald Trump, "The top 10 reasons why you're not a billionaire"

    EXECUTION 
    Great advice! And to those who devaluate him because he had 30 mil to start with..think that there are people who had that money too but ended up drinking/using drugs and wasting the money instead of multiplying it and 30-fold and making themselves into one of the most well known people in the...

    Promoting a book via social Media....what would your daily actions be?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Twitter might be second best option after developing relationships/buying ads or reviews on book blogs. Start commenting on book blogs on posts you like. Comment well, don't bad mouth other authors tho, constructive criticism is ok but saying book is shit isn't ... Email bloggers good books...
