OpenTable.com is one of my favorite websites today because you can book almost any Chicagoland restaurant in about one minute. Additionally, you can read hundreds of real reviews about a restaurant before you decide to dine there. I recently took my girlfriend out to a very nice restaurant called Catch 35, in Naperville, [...]

It’s not like me to dedicate an entire post for the sole purpose of complaining.
Wait, yes it is.
The reason I’m taking time out of my life to flame Linkshare is because of their complete disregard for the quality of their system in its entirety. It’s a mouthful, but I can write something negative about everything [...]
Sorry for the lack of posting. I’ll be short and just take this post to recommend a book I’ve been reading, titled ‘Predictably Irrational‘ (home page). The book basically covers a wide scope of consumer and social behavior. For example, every buyer decides whether or not to purchase something by weighing the positives and negatives. [...]

Keyword Research
I use Google’s Adword’s keyword volume tool to look to [...]

So I recently ordered “God’s Chosen Fast” from an Amazon.com seller. The book was processed, shipped, and at my door in 3 days. The package was hand-written on by the seller’s telling me “Your Amazon.com marketplace order”. This was cool because they saved me the time of wondering what it is (I [...]

Ok, this has always me for some time. I realized that in order to have a successful marketing blog, I’ll have to show that what I suggest and post about actually works. I want to be seen as a proven, reliable source for marketing information. I feel like this can be shown through [...]
