3 Super Effective Social Media Marketing Tricks and Strategies

Small businesses now have the opportunity to make use of social media marketing strategies to connect with and engage existing and potential customers but only few entrepreneurs manage to actually employ these tools successfully.

Is this your case?
You've done all sorts of marketing. You're posting 20-30% off discounts, you've tried social commerce, you're putting your logo and your company name up in Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest 2-3 times per day. You've even spent a lot of money on AdWords and Facebook Ads. And nothing is working.

How come you're not getting any sales? And what's worse you're not even getting any followers. You're not getting any people you can repeat your messages out to. What are you doing wrong?

10 Places To Escape During The Holidays

It's the Holiday Season. A time when families gather around, people waste tons of money on presents, television is cluttered with old Christmas movies, radios play Mariah Carey all day long, the streets are crowded, the shops are full and you can go blind from all the decorations.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and my family, I love the snow (if there is any), the whole spirit thing, but sometimes I really want to escape and just be somewhere quiet. A place so distant and so isolated, but at the same time - beautiful and magical. So I found a few places like that.

Here are the NUMBER places to escape during the Holidays... or whenever you want:

Crescent Lake 

This is literally the Oasis for your holidays. I say literally, because it actually is an oasis, located in north west China, south from Dunhuang city. 

It almost vanished a few years back, but the Chinese government helped and now you can go and chillax (yes, I said it) for a few days. Go there before it gets too crowded, because sooner or later it will get trendy.

12 Apps To Use While Pooping

Toilet time for some of us is very sacred. For those of you who do number two under two minutes, you are not enjoying life. Pooping is the time for thoughts, for relaxation and for cleansing. You cleanse your mind from bad thought and you cleanse your body from that lasagne you ate last night.

To make number two a better experience, people invented mobile phones. With time, phones became smarter so we can enjoy a bigger variety of games and apps. Now we have really intelligent mobile devices that can offer us the best poop experience ever.

What are the best app to use while pooping?

1. PoopLog

It's not a game, but PoopLog is very essential for the toilet. This app can tell you if you have health issues. You might think this is a joke, but I hope you never have to use it.

Sometimes people get sick and they need to take notes of their bowel movement. So you can track the shape, amount, volume. You can also add information about the pain. The next version will even have support for colour, blood, mucus and others. 

This way you can see if everything is all right and you need to check a doctor or not. And the best part - you can add photos and share them to Facebook or other social media. How cool is that?

2. Unblock Car

A poop game should be simple and not-stressful. It's really unpleasant when you are just about to drop the deuce and the hard part of the level appears. Then you clench your sphincter and ruin the whole moment.

That's why you can play games like Unblock Car. The mission is simple - remove the red car by moving the others. A puzzle game for wasting time. There are levels for the advanced minds, but there are easier options for the beginners. You can even choose from different visual sets.

3. Tic Tac Toe

I won't give you an exact app here. There are so many versions for Android and iPhone - just choose the best for you. 

An Amateur’s Guide to Wildlife Photography

From urban geese and snowy stags in Scotland through to underwater habitats and forest close ups, the standard of images at the 2014 British Wildlife Photography Awards was incredible. You can see the winners’ gallery here. If you’ve been inspired by the amazing images from the competition, professional nature photographer Paul Hobson shares his top tips for amateur photographers looking to capture the great outdoors.

Taking wildlife close-ups

Taking extreme close up photography, also known as macro photography, is a great way to capture a new perspective of nature. But showing the intricate details of wildlife in a larger-than-life way can be tricky. Here are Paul’s top macro tips:


Try to get low: Lying down on the ground to photograph close-ups creates a lovely blur effect before and after your subject, helping it really stand out. A plastic sheet is a useful thing to have in your camera bag to avoid getting wet and muddy.

That's the reason hundreds of new blogs are born everyday. And what do you do when you are a new kid on the block?

I've been doing a lot of researching in the past few months and have gathered a lot of information about blogging and guidelines. Here are a few great tips in succeeding in blogging.

How to Do Anything

The world has changed since the Internet has become part of everyday life. It used to be hard to browse around - using a dial-up connection, waiting for minutes to open a single picture of Pamela Anderson. Now you can download a movie in less than 5 minutes (*cough* legally of course). This has improved our lives significantly. But the biggest plus of the internet is the free knowledge. If you don't know how to do something, just type it in Google and you will find the answer. 

That's why I love How To videos. I've learned how to tie a tie, how to cook, how to fix my air conditioner, how to set a VCR's clock (I don't use a VCR, but I've always wanted to learn that). Recently I discovered a YouTube channel that completely changed the ways of How-To guides. It gives you answers to questions you have never even dared to ask. I have learned so much and my thirst for knowledge is becoming even more insatiable.

The Importance of OnSite Optimization.

OnSite Optimization is a very important part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Many people concentrate on link building, on link baiting and other important techniques. They are all significant for your product, but links are not the only thing you have to worry about. For a SEO to succeed in his target, he needs a good website to offer.

This is where OnSite Optimization comes. Your usual target is to put a page in the top 10 (or even on number one spot) list of sites in the search engine result page (SERP). To start doing that, you need to offer a good product to the audience. No matter how good links you are building, in the best directories possible, with the highest PageRank and the biggest Trust Flow, it just won't work until you have done your Onsite.

With the help of some reliable sources (Moz, Search Engine Journal) and personal experience, I created a useful guide on Onsite Optimization for beginners.
