    I don't like competing on price, even when it works. You get lower margins, whinier customers, you're backed into a corner if your costs go up, you can't raise your margins without changing your...

    It's simple- people are just more interested in seeing what their friends post than what companies post. Facebook is simply giving the users what they want. I've always been skeptical of the idea...

    Newsletter, because you have fewer fakes and disengaged followers signing up, and when they do it doesn't actually hurt your ability to reach your core audience. Social media needs to fix that...

    It's become obvious to me lately that Google Plus is getting more important. Searching for local lawyers (the main niche I'm focused on right now), I see that usually the first page results involve...

    Here is the approach I have been using with clients and it has worked incredibly well this year. It is a contrarian approach.

    Most people are diverting all of their attention to email, websites,...

    In my experience, traditional credit card processing is usually more expensive than PayPal until you're doing at least a few hundred thousand a year, if not well over a million. Dwolla is cheaper...

    Agree on packages and partnerships. I'd work on getting reviews and partnering with travel agents and hotels. With the hotels, I'd suggest adding value somehow, like delivering cars to them rather...

    I've never even heard of kneeling chairs. Aside from a standing desk, just setting you desk higher/chair lower might help with hunching. I've also had great success with back pain just by wearing...

    Yeah, that's what I was figuring. I know places occasionally solicit donations for giveaways- I know problogger did a while back. But it's like you say, that intersection of having the audience and...

    Awesome. What I'm especially looking for are blogs with a pretty sizable following where I can either write guest posts or hold a giveaway to draw attention to my site. Under30CEO sounds like it...

    Get rid of the Facebook popup when it loads. That will give you likes from disengaged people who won't really follow your posts, and that's worse than useless.

    You also need a much, much better...

    Actually, I only half agree with Woz. I don't like any of the ones you came up with, but I also don't think your name should be based on having some secret meaning that most of your target audience...

    Lol. I used to know a guy who works as a hacker- people hire him to test their security by breaking into places. I actually don't think there's anything illegal about simply looking for...

    Okay, I see some awesome blogs in there. Totally forgot about Under30CEO- saw that one years ago then didn't keep up with it. Going to go through the rest of those today, see which ones I want to...

    What are your favorite business blogs?

    I'm looking for some cool blogs to read- so far all I read is ProBlogger, Four Hour Work Week, and I Will Teach You to be Rich. I'd like to hear everyone's recommendations, not just for strictly...

    I've long thought about getting one. Do you find yourself sleeping better now that you're on your feet more?

    After thinking it over a little more, two things come to mind. First, Facebook is probably best used with the goal of channelling people to your actual website- separate the really engaged users...

    No one was using it, and there was never a good reason for it to exist. The thinking was probably that people wanted to get all their online communication needs from one source- except it just means...

    If you look at the kind of bullshit that usually gets advertised on Facebook, the fact that your favorite brands aren't using it should tell you something. All I see using Facebook ads are stupid...

    PCI compliance causes payment options to narrow, as payments get taken by a few payment specialists rather than everyone selling stuff. And that's good, since it leaves payment data in the hands of...

    Wordpress and Wix are both good. Wordpress is more full-featured and generally cheaper, but Wix is easier. I'm on Wix rght now, may switch to Worpress next year.

    Never heard of that. In any case, having a friend buy something should work. There's nothing inherently illegitimate about that; why wouldn't your friends be reading your blog? But I'd focus on...

    Not sure about Facebook ads, but likes are easy to overrate. Wouldn't quite call them meaningless, but it's far, far better to have your content shared by a few than "liked" by many. I've met...
