YouTube Isn’t the Only Game in Town
I have been talking off and on about how to use online video for marketing. The benefits of doing video marketing are many. Among them are the fact that it is free (except for production potentially) and the fact that videos just have the eye appeal that makes people watch them (unlike the written word). [...]
Finding a Virtual Assistant
I have been spending time here and there over the last week attending to a very important action for my business: hiring a virtual assistant. Now, let me say ahead of time that I have not yet signed a contract with the person I am going to try out, however I should be doing that [...]
Pirillo Live Using Freely Available Technologies
Over at BUZZscreen, I made mention of Chris Pirillo’s new venture. Chris is now broadcasting via webcam all day long, answering people’s questions, etc. He is answering 4-5 questions per day and posting the recordings to various video sites like Youtube. In between recordings, you’re basically watching him work at his computer. I was curious [...]
Youtube Silently Sticks it to Director Accounts
As a little followup to my podcast earlier today as well as an excuse to vent, I have just found out today that Youtube has silently stuck it to Director accounts. It wasn’t long ago that you had to actually APPLY for a Director account. With the enhanced account, you would be able to do [...]
PairNIC versus GoDaddy for Domains
I have been a hosting customer of Pair Networks for quite some time now. They are solid and I am happy with them. I’ve got two dedicated servers with them working in tandem and, yeah, I throw a good chunk of scratch their way every month for it. I have also been managing my domain [...]
Google Analytics Redesign = Simplicity
I logged into Google Analytics this afternoon and was greeted with a notice at the top of my screen telling me about the new format for the reports. When I clicked into one of my reports, I saw it was completely re-designed. I like what they’ve done with it.
I have used Google Analytics for [...]
Google Pay-Per-Action Launches
Google has just launched a new service in Beta called Pay-Per-Action. Judging by the logo in the upper left, this is going to be some kind of sub-service of Google Adwords (and hence Adsense as well). The long and short of it can be gotten right off their site, namely: “Increase your advertising reach while [...]
MyBlogLog - Community for Your Blog
Last night, I was surfing around, making the usual rounds to keep up with what’s going on. I have noticed on other sites (and never thought much of it) this table of mug shots from a service called MyBlogLog. So, finally, I went ahead and checked it out. Very cool! Essentially, it is a community [...]
Plunge into Deep MySpace
As we all know, Myspace.com is one of the most popular names in social media today. However, it has a reputation amongst professionals of being basically a big teen hangout and not worth time for anybody with serious motives. The age breakdown might be a bit of a surprise, though. Interestingly, in this article on [...]
Exporting USPS Orders From X-Cart to Endicia
I mentioned in the last edition of the WebbyOnline Newsletter that I was giving Endicia a try. Endicia is a service with an accompying program called Dazzle that allows quick usage of the United States Portal Service. It can be used for preparing your business mailings, but I am interested in using it to [...]
