8 Crucial Steps To Take Before Starting An Online Ecommerce Business (part1)

Image
Are you ready and prepared to open a good online store? The only problem is you don’t know where to begin. Here are 8 steps that you should consider taking before starting an online Ecommerce business. 1. Research The Idea Lots of entrepreneurs make the deadly flaw of advertising something that the consumers just do not want to purchase. Avoid this startup catch by researching the idea to ensure that it is solid. Talk to family, friends, and others and let them know about your idea. Request for honest inputs about whether your products are something that they would like to buy. Test the idea with any online focus group. You can have unknown users test your website, rate your products, and give helpful feedback by forming online focus groups. Look for companies to organize them. Search secondary sources. Search the internet and have a look at your potential competitors’ websites. Determine what you’ll do better, as well as how you’ll show up in the huge crowd. 2. Reg...

What’s the Software Engineer Salary in 2014?

Image
Software engineering, just like any other computer science related job title – is a highly rewarding career choice, and not only because of the hefty salary that comes with it. You get to experience life in ways you never thought was possible, is a good definition for those who wonder what  software engineering  might be like. Yes, it does get boring at times; but, it’s up to you to choose the right employer –  you can always work for yourself . I mean, take a look at my previous reports – both for  graphic designer salaries , and the  salary of a social media manager . They’re kind of the same, but if you manage to prove yourself to be of great value to the team you’re working for – chances are, that pay can double within a few short months. But, software engineering is a little bit tougher choice of career, and definitely requires a bit more technical knowledge than any of the two professions I just linked to. With that in mind, here is the graph...

                                           Email marketing has been around before even blogs existed. The best way to display that story would be to go over at   New Rainmaker   and listen to the podcast that Brian Clark, and Robert Bruce have put together – explaining why marketing is the new media. It’s the most recent talk I’ve listen to – that touches the subject of email marketing ever so slightly. You can check out my recent post about  EDMdesigner , and of course my  free marketing tools  list, along with  top email clients in 2013 infographic . There isn’t really all that much to learn about sending good emails, at the end of the day – the content you’re sending out to your subscribers, is somehow (hopefully) going to reflect the style of your blog – where the subscriber originated from. I’m a newbie to email marketing, I have to admi...

The Difference between UI and UX

Image
User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) are two terms that are quite confusing even to industries that employ designers. The truth of the matter is that these two are very important in web designing but way different from each other. By definition, UX focuses on the optimization of the product to make it effective and enjoyable. UI on the other hand is basically the look and feel of the product. It is the way the product has been presented to allow for easy interactivity by the users. Other than the definition, here are other major differences between the two: 1.  Their main focus UX’s main focus is on the journey to solve a user’s problems while the UI is mainly focused on how the surface of the product looks and functions. Many people visit websites because they have a problem that they would like to solve. In that case, a UX design will focus mainly on anything that might affect the user’s journey to solve that problem. This could either be positive or neg...
