Video Traffic Academy Review - Is This For You? - MarketingProfessor.com
"Great, Travis. From my point of view - watching videos rather than making them, I feel that the "talking head" bit is way over done. Those might as well be podcasts. Give my eyes something more - powerpoint, screen-shots - something that illustrates what you're saying. Then I'm understanding what you're trying to say whole lot easier - AND, I'm still awake to take it in. Duncan "Employee Stress Doesn't Just Hurt YOUR Business
"Hi Mark. We all saw what happened to our errant friend, George Costanza - he started out whiny (sort of a short, bald, chubby, bespectacled Woody Allen), then "blossomed" into a full-on rage-a-holic. Rage-a-holic George was hilarious as an exaggeration on TV, because we weren't working next to him for 8-10 hours a day. Built-up stress (and great writing) caused the rage.

"Wonderful, as always, Martin. I'd add that it's wise to let the buyer determine the end-shipper. I can no longer do business with giants Amazon or eBay because they force Post Office delivery on me. eBay's "standard" is USPS with "delivery confirmation", which only proves that the barcode was scanned - nothing more. Mailboxes in my building are not secure - I've had stolen mail more than once. In my neighborhood, UPS is the only reliable shipper - they always require a signature (which isn't necessarily true in other neighborhoods I've lived in). Free shipping (Amazon) on a package that's ultimately stolen is no recompense. Duncan"Google Analytics Adds Multi-Channel Funnels
"Hi Chris. As a consumer, rather than a business owner, this is kind of scary - in fact, it's both dreadful & frightful. Not only will every site I purchase from know everywhere I was on their site (that I was on their site because I bought from them is all I'm comfortable with them knowing), they'll know all the other sites I've been to previously. Where does this sort of tracking of individuals end? Once G+ takes over (and it will take over - no business has the guts to defy them), everyone's life will be in their hands - and we didn't even elect them - nor can we oust them. Duncan"Subscribe
Why Affiliate Marketers Suck
"DJ Funkyslick (if that is your real name), I found this offensive, and I'd like to know where you got your numbers (that "probably 85% of affiliate marketing falls into this category")? It's one thing to rant, another to bash. Duncan"
