    Ethical Marketing Angle?

    MARKETING 
    Not sure if this involves ethics but it sounded right. Let's say ebates.com was blank, just starting out, and they wanted to populate their platform. They begin adding businesses to their website without their consent/knowledge and associating rebates with them. Example: Walmart - 2% cashback...

    I recently built this tool and looking for any feedback - How much are you paying for leads? I wanted to create a simple tool that exposes how much money people/businesses are really spending in Adwords to acquire a "lead". My basic formula was based on a 5% conversion rate (which is actually...

    Dry Erase Board Visualization

    Last year I bought a dry erase board and hung it in my office/bedroom. You can find them at Walmart or on Amazon. $50 bucks or less for a nice size one. I hung the board using command strips to the wall. It hasn't fallen. Everyone has their own way to hash out ideas or think about...

    Go Big Or Play It Safe?

    Something I've been contemplating when exploring new business paths is how big should you go? When I say play it safe I am not implying that starting a more common business structure is safer or less risky, but there are proven models and examples to follow. When going big you're often the one...

    Not sure if this has been posted before but just wanted to share some advice for those who need design work and look to 99designs for a contest. Instead of setting up a contest and paying a decent amount and sometimes still not get a good design there's a better way. Look at past projects...

    Alternative To Google Adsense

    If you want to find out whats happening around where you live? Is this what you use facebook for? I find facebook to be more about random browsing, picture viewing, and the occasional chat. For example, if i want to find whats happening in my city tonight where do i look? any bands playing...

    Selling domains based on keywords

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I know people say that a website name is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it... but, wouldn't it make sense to value a domain name (just the domain) based off of keyword research and data? For example, if you find that the keyword "why does beer" receives over 5 million...

    Online Business Models

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    When you're creating a website should you be more concerned with figuring out how to monetize it(and structure it accordingly), or with attracting as many users/visitors as possible when that itself doesn't generate any income. It's the classic facebook business model. Is it one to try and copy?

    net,org,info,co domains

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    So while doing keyword research you come across great keywords and potential domain names. What do you do when the domain name you want is taken with the .com extension, and you visit the website and it's not being used, and has no content. Is it worth it to buy the .net or .org or .co...

    USA Meets NECST

    So picture this.. A store that sells only USA made products. Some day reaching the size of a Walmart. I know there are some small shops like this in existence already, but they appear to be staying small (local based, no scale) Why would this work? Americans would support an American based...
