Twitter Tools and Successful User Acquisition Strategies

February 18, 2022February 2, 2015 by Kumar Gauraw

Twitter is probably the coolest marketing tool of our generation as noted in Founder Magazine. While this is the holy grail of internet marketing for many top marketers, it is also the most confusing and frustrating channel for many.

Some of the features that make Twitter so powerful and so different when compared with any other social media channel are:

Twitter lets you see what people are interested and talking about right now.
Twitter lets you see lists of people who follow your competitors.
Twitter lets you interact with all of those people instantly unlike some of the other popular networks.

On Twitter, you can easily find out who is tweeting about your topics related to your industry/product/service by using the search feature.

February 18, 2022January 15, 2015 by Kumar Gauraw

Most of us do not even think about sending emails through our WordPress powered website. We have WordPress handling this task by default using PHP mail functionality which works! Well, in most cases.

However, I had challenges in the past when I didn’t even know that some of the emails my website sent, ended straight into the receiver’s SPAM folders. Thanks to some of my friends from the blogosphere who told me about this issue.

When E-Commerce Needs Are Complex, Woocommerce May Not Be The Best

February 18, 2022October 27, 2014 by Kumar Gauraw

Woocommerce has certainly become a de facto shopping cart solution for WordPress powered websites. The implementation is easy, the plugin itself is free and it is maintained.

Its popularity is so high that so many popular themes are coming with many Woocommerce file templates bundled with the theme package. I have helped many of my clients with Woocommerce implementation on their websites.

However, the moment you realize that you need a little more than what comes bundled with the free Woocommerce plugin, you need to start spending money. The more you ask, the more you pay.

Why I Switched From Aweber To GetResponse For My Email Marketing

February 18, 2022September 15, 2014 by Kumar Gauraw

Just because Aweber is popular, it is not necessarily the best email marketing service out there. After being a loyal customer for over 3 years, I finally decided to change my service provider.

The reason I signed up with Aweber is not that I knew a lot about email marketing. It wasn’t because I knew a whole lot about different companies either. I chose Aweber for my email marketing needs because it was the service so many online marketers were using and recommending.

People told me that Aweber was the “gold standard” in email marketing. And it worked. I was impressed and convinced!

[note background=”#F0F0F0″]This is a guest post by George Meszaros who is a serial entrepreneur and the co-founder of Success Harbor. Please feel free to connect with George on Twitter, Facebook or Google+[/note] Some of the most successful bloggers started blogging as a hobby. Some of them wanted to document an important phase of their lives. Others wanted to share adventures from travel to business to major life events.

Success demands you have your own products as a blogger

Many started simply to teach others. The point is that most successful bloggers didn’t get into blogging for money. It’s hard to believe that some multi-million dollar revenue blogs started out as small side projects.

It doesn’t happen overnight. I have interviewed many very successful bloggers and several of them shared that the first couple of years were a lot of work with little reward. Their sites have received few visitors if any during the first few months, but they kept writing and churning out content.

Have your scheduled posts ever missed their schedules in WordPress? Did you find a solution to the problem? How did you fix it (if you fixed)?

One of the issues people say they started to notice was the missed schedule errors since WordPress version 3.5. A lot of people have experienced this error after they implemented W3 Total Cache plugin.

Digging further, some people say the problem arises when Database Caching or Object Caching is enabled in W3 Total Cache plugin. There are many different opinions about it. However, it’s not clear if W3 Total Cache will ever be able to fix this problem.
