Online Donations: Make the Process Simple for Donors
A very good friend of ours recently passed away and in lieu of flowers the family asked that donations be made to a local charity which does fund-raising for colon cancer awareness. Being that Lester is my 3rd third friend / colleague to succumb to the disease, I was SO on it. Unfortunately, trying to make a donation on the site was a convoluted and frustrating process, so I gave up the first time. Two days later, only after reading a friend’s comments on Facebook – someone who expressed frustration with the donation process AND added instructions for getting through the rigamarole – was I able to make …

15 Virtual Conference Advantages
Between 2004 and 2010, I attended/spoke at a number of conferences, traveling from my home in semi-rural British Columbia to places such as L.A., Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., New York, Montreal, Miami and Dubai. As much as I love meeting my colleagues and students in person, I found the rigmarole of business travel exhausting. Contributing to the frazzle, is the fact that we spend 4 to 6 of the colder months traveling the southern United States in our RV. By the time we get home in April, I’m not keen to travel much beyond my backyard. Fortunately, for those who are likewise disenchanted with business travel, virtual …

I’ve circled and blurred the names of marketers (and affiliate networks) and placed rectangles around the spammy words and phrases. I particularly like ‘…
Responsive WordPress Themes for 2015
I had a problem on one of my blogs this week that I (wrongly) assumed was due to over-tweaking of its WordPress theme. To fix it, I went in search of a new theme to install on the site. Boy, was I surprised by the number of beautiful themes available, particularly the responsive theme designs and those with parallax scrolling. Parallax scrolling is where background images move slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2 dimensional scene. Parallax and other long scroll themes are best suited to business and ecommerce sites, i.e. a membership site. …
Former Student Hits it BIG
I feel like a proud mama every time I hear how one of my students has taken what they learned from me (and others) and gone on to become uber successful affiliate marketers. In this case, Jamie is a 38 year old musician — but it’s affiliate marketing that has put bread on his table. Really BIG bread. There’s an Aston Martin in his garage thanks to the 12 million bucks he’s earned as an affiliate marketer — primarily on Clickbank. Yes, that’s for real — he shows his actual tax returns on the net, something he probably learned from me. He’s now decided to teach others what he’s been doing so successfully — because he HATES the fact that ‘…

In February, Google announced that it would start favoring mobile-friendly sites starting on April 21st. Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal.

We now live in an age where technology and the internet are rapidly being integrated into our daily lives.
