Why having a website is not enough

The formula for building a successful digital presence has changed. No matter how much money is spent on a website, having a website is not enough. A failed marketer is one who builds a website to separate the company from the crowd rather than to unite it with the common market. By allocating too much time and too many resources on branding and usability, many website managers continue to fail in delivering new customers and in servicing existing ones because they’ve built little more than a static digital magazine peddling a service the website does little to support. When nobody bothers to visit, website managers can have a hard time explaining why. Your website is good for only three things Unless there’s some business functionality built into your website, users are not visiting to read marketing copy and look at your graceful UI. Instead, there’s only three things they are doing: 1.) troubleshooting 2.) contacting someone 3.) signing up for more

S.C senator calls PayPal a PedoPal

Senator Lee Bright from Spartanburg, South Carolina introduced a bill on the senate floor saying PayPal supports pedophiles praying on children in bathrooms. Calling the multi-national company PayPal a “PedoPal,” the accusation astonished the San Jose, California-based company as well as other technologists who organized against the so-called Bathroom Bills in recent months. More than 150 companies have already signed protests in North Carolina, and PayPal pulled more than 400 jobs from Charlotte, North Carolina in response to the prejudicial actions of that state. Supposed “PedoPal” company defends itself Dan Schulman, President and CEO, PayPal, took decisive action after North Carolina passed their resolution to segregate bathrooms in the state: “The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture. As a result, PayPal will not move forward with our planned expansion into Charlotte,” said Shulman. Now, South Carolina is setting themselves up for failure in business, as more
Six steps to identify customers for a website

Identify customers for a website website by focusing on telling your story. A business plan can take many hours of intense study and writing to complete, but the process of identifying your ideal customer can be completed fairly quickly if you follow the below six steps: 1. What is your value proposition? This is your underlying marketing plan to identify customers for a website. It says, “You should visit my website because my website will educate you about your specific interests and needs.” This can also be your website’s model (i.e., “Resources for Website Managers”). 2. Buyer Identification (Interest) Identification helps you achieve your objective. Assemble measurable data with respect to your objective market’s demographics, market section, needs and purchasing choices. Find which websites your buyers use and ask the following: How old would they say they are? Is it safe to say that they are male or female? What is their occupation? What income bracket would they say they more

2014 Oscar Predictions

Our predictions will follow this overview of the 2014 Oscar nominations. “Gravity” is gonna get most of the awards this year, and I won’t dwell on it except to say I love going to the circus. The lion tamer (George Clooney) is always entertaining, handsome and heroic, but it’s the high wire act of Sandra Bullock that gets the ooos and ahhhs. I go to the circus about once a year and that’s gracious plenty. There’s nothing complicated or interesting about the circus, but it’s damned fun and the kid will love it. The Academy’s nominations included no outstanding film for 2013. “American Hustle” had the best plotline and could’ve been called “Argot Part II” for its pressure cooker pacing and 1970s depiction of government conspiracy. Christian Bale is always good and Amy Adams will continue to impress with more than her breasts, tho she uses them ably to communicate both innocence and sexual prowess. “Dallas Buyers Club” endeared us more

Apple bugging out legacy phones

The desperation can be seen through moderated postings on Apple’s website, posted in their own Apple Support Community. Here, gdgmacguy had some choice words for someone who suggested that Apple is ignoring the issue: Apple does NOT support downgrading the iOS. Why? who knows, But they don’t. Nothing you can do. If you want to jailbreak your phone and downgrade, then fine. But look at all the postings here by people who have attempted to do so and permanently disabled their phones. Jailbreaking voids your warranty with Apple and eliminates your right to any further assistance. Your choice. No one forced you to upgrade in the first place. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4387499?start=0&tstart=0 But other newsgroups, not moderated by Apple, are giving legacy hardware (i.e., iPhone 4) owners ways to avoid upgrading to new hardware (i.e., iPhone 5) by sharing techniques to combat the bugs Apple engineers are introducing as an incentive for these users to buy new hardware. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3022587?start=405&tstart=0 For instance, the home more
