First, the unusual method..
A week or so ago, I got an unexpected payment of 4 cents into my PayPal account. I knew the guy who sent it me. I’d bought something from him (through PayPal) a few months ago.

I think I’ve mentioned this site before, but it’s worth another look at “Internet Marketing Newswatch”. No, it’s not exactly “Reuters”, but it’s a very useful site for internet marketers.

Those ingenious creators of “IM Buzz” software, Calvin Woon and Jonathan Teng, have relaunched […]

Whether we love them or loath them, there is no doubt that online videos are rapidly becoming a successful marketing medium. But it can be a time-consuming task making these videos - and perhaps too challenging for many people.
