There is no limit on the amount of space available for stories (to put it in economic terms, the marginal cost of one more “page” is obviously zero)
Every single person on the Internet has the same addressable market – the entire world – as the New York Times; “news” can come from anywhere
Because of the hyperlink individual stories can be accessed without visiting the home page; this means link distribution channels, particularly social, are far more important when it comes to raising awareness of a story]]></description>

In my opinion, their success was the journey of the 52 experiments, and not just the final one.

We at Levitum recently had learnings from an MVP that we put out, and experiments that we ran. In the spirit of openly sharing how I’ve tried to apply Lean Startup principles to a new venture, I’m going to outline how we went about things, and what I’ve learnt.]]></description>

Write about any of your previous customers who were happy with your services in a blog. Write every detail about them, including their introduction (name), work detail, and in what way they needed your services/product and how they used them. Also write about how you helped to make things easier for them, how you proved to be exceptional by solving all their problems which others could not do. The strength of your case will depend on these points.

If, people who will get to read your blog, are as happy with you or they are the same person you wrote about, their comments on the blog will help a great deal in building trust with people who are not familiar with the quality of your services (or product).]]></description>

The answers I get can be summed up in these two problems:

I need more clients.
I don’t get paid enough.
The solution to these two problems is rarely a lack of technical prowess. Making the assumption that you are able to build a website, or that you can find someone that can, the answer to solving these two problems is learning how to do everything in a business except web design. These things are:

Sales
Marketing
Operations
People
Money
I learned to prioritize these soft skills of building a company and to value them over the raw technical abilities required to execute a project.]]></description>

My guess is probably not.

Let’s face it: Customers don’t buy from websites because they "look good." Despite this, businesses and design agencies sometimes obsess over beauty at the expense of ROI, resulting in a great looking, lipstick-on-a-pig website.

Design is only skin deep; true beauty lies within.

Does your great-looking design really only serve to cover up some ugly warts? Let’s find out. Here are 7 ugly truths that even the prettiest website can’t hide.]]></description>

Tell about how your products can cut costs, reduce time, increase profits–and then quantify it, Sobczak says. “Talking about how you’ve helped someone else might pique their interest, too.]]></description>

And once you get going — depending on your drive, vision and personal motivation — you will likely experience rapid growth and productivity at the start of your journey. Everything’s new and there’s seemingly endless potential to grow.

However, once the honeymoon period fades and reality sets in — and it will at some point — you will be faced with doubts, fear, and insecurity. This point in time is a crucial fork in the road; one path will move you forward and the other will lead you astray.


When that time comes, it’s important to deal with the following common issues experienced by most startup founders.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Even though I think Google AdWords is one of the greatest advertising systems there is, I’m the first to admit that Google makes it really easy to waste your money. A lot of the default settings in AdWords are there to maximize your reach -- which is great if you want the highest possible number of clicks.
But remember: this is pay-per-click marketing, and those click costs are going to add up fast if you cast a really wide net.

The problem is, when you reach more people, you’re generally sacrificing relevance. Many of the people who click your ads aren’t going to be your ideal customer, and, in the end, that hurts your ROI.

The best way to increase your ROI from AdWords is to take measures that whittle down your audience to the most relevant potential customers. Luckily, there are lots of ways to do this in AdWords -- you just have to know what they are.

Here are the top-six ways to filter out unwanted clicks and reduce your wasted spend in AdWords.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We have been having a lot of fun around here, and thus straying into topics that are only loosely related to building financial freedom. These lessons can be handy, since getting rich is only the first baby step in living a long and prosperous life. After all, if you adopt a Mustachian ethos fairly early, you will spend most of your life in a permanent bath of surplus money, and thus your challenges and growth opportunities will lie in areas other than the financial.

But still, all this big thinking can cause us to gloss over the details a bit, and we don’t want to lead any new arrivals astray. With that in mind, this article will serve as a review of some of the basic principles that we don’t usually cover around here, because to many people they are already obvious. Read ‘em over, and see if they are already obvious to you.

If you are trying to maximize revenue from a small audience, you need to get the most possible out of each customer, even if that means losing sales. When I consider the price on one of my iPhone applications, I always ask myself, “If I were to double the price (from $0.99 to $1.99), would I lose more than half the sales?”

If the answer is no, then I double the price. Fewer customers can often be a good thing, especially when it comes to fewer support requests. Also, a higher price tends to attract a higher quality customer.

Jarrod’s price of $39 fit perfectly for his content. I actually used that as a starting point for the price on my first book, The App Design Handbook.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The reality is that branding is borne out of any identifying features, and is used to create a persistent identity for products and firms. Wikipedia describes it as ‘the most valuable fixed asset of a Corporation,’ which, whilst perhaps a little exaggerated, is all too true in the light of the hugely competitive markets that exist today where branding is often sadly overlooked.
Firms like Apple, which capitalize on branding so effectively, understand the importance of a successful brand, and have built their fortunes on their incredibly valuable and attractive product form and consistent styling. Despite this being the result of billions of dollars of research and advertising, branding arises with or without intervention, with your customers having opinions on your business, whether they’re good or bad, branding is at work.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[According to Matt Cutts, the new version of Penguin is primarily designed to penalize websites that utilize black hat SEO techniques and reward websites that offer genuine value. Webmasters who create content that people naturally want to share and websites that visitors want to explore and return to shouldn't be affected negatively. He also stated that Penguin 2.0 should help many small to mid-sized businesses that play by the rules and avoid black hat SEO. It should also help authority sites gain traction while decreasing the rankings of sites that merely provide generic fluff.

The ultimate goal is to cut back on link spamming and hacking, while providing webmasters with the tools to fix hacked sites. Since "cluster results," where a cluster of results from the same website have been somewhat of a problem, they have also addressed this issue. Consequently, search results should be more balanced where one particular site doesn't dominate the first page of a search term.]]></description>

I’m not saying that it has the world-beating products in every category. No, it’s more about the vast number of technologies and, mostly, data Google has at its fingertips and how, perhaps for the first time ever, it’s leveraging it all for an increasingly unified set of products and services.

There was no sky-diving moment, but I contend the 180-minute-plus presentation was no less momentous. Each time Google showed us a new product or service, it was leveraging all Google already knows about us and our world.]]></description>

No one has been more requested than Tim Ferriss. It makes sense—as the author of bestsellers The 4-Hour Workweek and The 4-Hour Body, he's the poster boy for automation and all things time-saving. In The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim explained how to ditch the 9-5 and free up time to do things you actually enjoy, and in The 4-Hour Body, how to produce major physical changes using small body hacks. (He famously gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days while researching.) Tim is also an angel investor and advisor to a huge roster of startups including Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Uber, and Evernote. Now, he's back with The 4-Hour Chef, which he describes as a "choose-your-own adventure cookbook for accelerated learning." We caught up with Tim to find out what apps, gadgets, tunes, and more keep him going...and going.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In October of last year, I was running engineering for a promising mobile commerce startup that I co-founded in 2011. By many Silicon Valley measures, we were doing well – seed funded, making revenue, ~20 person team, multiple launched products, etc. It was comfortable.

But one day I decided to abandon my startup, all because of one e-mail. This is that story.

The e-mail of note came from my girlfriend, and it set off a chain reaction of events that led to an abrupt series of personal relevations. It was an e-mail about a friend presenting a revolutionary technology at Google’s Solve for X (a showcase of change makers and moonshots). The e-mail itself was innocuous, but her rhetorical question is what struck me: “You could be there, presenting your world changing innovation. Why not?” That question left me sick to my stomach.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[RSS is best for following a large number of infrequently updated sites: sites that you’d never remember to check every day because they only post occasionally, and that your social-network friends won’t reliably find or link to.

Building on that, you shouldn’t accumulate thousands of unread items, because you shouldn’t subscribe to feeds that would generate that kind of unread volume.

The true power of the RSS inbox is keeping you informed of new posts that you probably won’t see linked elsewhere, or that you really don’t want to miss if you scroll past a few hours of your Twitter timeline.

Without RSS readers, the long tail would be cut off. The rich would get richer: only the big-name sites get regular readership without RSS, so the smaller sites would only get scraps of occasional Twitter links from the few people who remember to check them regularly, and that number would dwindle.]]></description>

When I was at college, I started 30 different businesses on campus — a ticket bureau, a travel agency, a temporary employment agency, you name it — and about half of them didn't work.

None of those businesses was about making money, they were about solving a problem. What's fascinated me in my career is how did we brainwash everybody else not to go solve the problem and not to raise their hand when they've got a question? I learnt from my parents that if you see a problem, you have an obligation to try to solve it.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Couple days ago I was browsing around elementbars.com, just to see what they offer. For shits I threw together a bar, went to checkout to see pricing (as is the case for most abandon carts). During the process I was kindly asked to create an account and enter my email, which I did. I had little intention of placing an order, and abandoned cart.
The next day I get an email from them thanking for me visiting the site, and linking me back to my cart to complete my checkout.
Today I get another email, offering a 15% discount coupon to sweeten the deal. Even better, the deal expires so there's the extra element of urgency.
Gotta admit, I was pretty tempted, and might still go through with the order.]]></description>

All of the products I’ve created — PayPal, Geni, Yammer — employed a freemium model and as a result grew to many millions of users in a short time.

In the case of Yammer, we also signed up thousands of paying business customers. That kind of explosive growth produced a $1.2 billion exit in less than four years when Microsoft acquired the company.

What is the freemium model? Simply put, you give away a basic version of the product for free while charging for a premium level of service. Why would any company want to give anything away for free?]]></description>

The idea that all employees should sit in the same place for eight hours a day, five days a week, seemed maddeningly inefficient to me. I knew that I was at peak productivity at certain times throughout the day, with regular lulls in between. The flexibility to determine when and where I worked made me a better worker.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>avinash</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The most basic and early stage mistake you can make is failing to set timelines or goals for your campaign. Whenever you plan a campaign, establish set deadlines for when you plan on accomplishing every component of the campaign. I recommend starting with the launch date and working backward from there. Think realistically about how much time is needed for each individual component (e.g. ebook creation, landing page setup, editing/revisions, email creation, social media creative, etc.), and set deadlines for when each task should be completed in order to accommodate your final launch date. Having such time-based goals in place will help ensure your team is on track, and you're working toward an actual event, not an arbitrary hope for finishing it.

In addition, make sure you set goals for your campaign. By setting real, measurable goals, you'll have the ability to determine if your campaign actually accomplished what it set out to. Think critically about what you want your campaign to achieve: Is it to generate more net new leads? Nurture existing leads by generating more reconversions? Increase your social media reach? You might also think about basing these goals off the results of your past campaign launches (when relevant), and use them to compare how well you did this time. A good way to approach this is to establish SMART marketing goals. SMART goals are those that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.]]></description>
