You fine-tuned your copy like you were writing the next great American novel.Yet, in reality?

How to be a successful affiliate marketer: Growth strategies & tips

By Phil Norris March 28, 2024 Did you know the average affiliate marketer makes just over $8,000 a month? Not bad for a job that lets you work anywhere, set your own hours, and earn passive income.But, as always, there’s a catch: That figure is massively skewed by affiliate marketers with 10+ years of experience, who bring in an average monthly income of $44,000+. Meanwhile, if you’re in your first year of affiliate marketing, you can expect a slightly more humble return of $636 a month.

5 Tips for Better Communication for Designers

For a designer, talking and sharing ideas is just as important as creating them. There are two ways designers talk to the world. The first way is through the designs themselves. This is called ‘aesthetic communication‘, and it’s all about giving messages in a quiet, indirect, and creative way. The second way is when designers need to chat about work stuff, like projects and contracts. This is ‘professional communication‘. It’s straightforward, a bit more complicated, and usually involves talking or writing directly. I’ve seen designers from all over really focus on making their design communication better. They work hard to make sure they can speak ‘design’ really well through their work. But, when it comes to the work chats, even the super talented designers can get tongue-tied. No matter...

Keyword Strategy Tips From the Experts

If you’re new to SEO, you may be vaguely familiar with what keywords are, but not how to find them or what they mean. Keywords are essentially search terms that help consumers identify your business. In terms of search engines, keywords are what help the algorithm match your website to search terms. For example, if a consumer searches for “local shoe repair,” they expect to see search results for shoe repair shops near them. If you use the right keyword strategy and work with an SEO expert, then your shoe repair business should show up in those results. How Do You Find Keywords? When you’re creating an SEO strategy, you need to sit down and think about the terms you’d use to describe your business. For the example above, that could be luxury shoe repair, leather repair, cobbler, (location...

11 Productivity Tools and Tips For Your Design Team

In our work as web designers, we’re always looking for ways to streamline our workflows to allow us to finish projects faster without compromising on the quality of our design work and even improving it. That’s a good habit to have, but if we’re not careful, we can spend so much effort looking for ways to become more productive and then backfire, causing our productivity to decrease. The digital age has removed much of the effort associated with continual improvement from our shoulders; to the point where looking for ways to do better primarily involves looking for tools that will help us do so. The creative aspect of design remains largely up to teams and individuals, however, but a judicious selection of productivity-enhancing tools can at least help to free up more time for the tasks we...

Tips and Insights to Help Spot Misinformation and Fake News [Infographic]

Misinformation has become a major concern in recent times, with various politically-motivated groups choosing to amplify false narratives and ideas, which has caused significant angst and confusion – and in some cases, real world harm as a result. Then again, some of this also comes under the banner of ‘disinformation’, which is largely the same as misinformation, though it’s a more deliberate, targeted tactic, intended to sow distrust, and amplify people’s fears, again largely for politically-aligned reasons. It’s become such a big issue that billionaire Elon Musk has ostensibly purchased Twitter to address his own concerns with the restriction of free speech – but is that really happening, and how can you see through the spin and pick out misinformation and disinformation messages in y...

Working in social media is far more than posting witty tweets and trending memes. It takes creative skill, analytical nous, an understanding of the platforms, and the tools that you have at your disposal, in order to generate the best results for your brand and/or clients. It’s hugely time-consuming, always changing, which requires expanded educational investment, and the work is, in general, under-appreciated as a whole, in the scope of its broader influence. Indeed, the top reasons why people quit social media jobs as identified in a recent survey were ‘stress’, ‘lack of work-life balance’ and ‘lack of appreciation’ for the work that they do.
