Before I knew what I was looking for, I certainly never noticed whether a website address starts with “http://” or “https://.” In fact, most of the time, the part of the address you see when you are visiting a website does not even show the http:// or https:// so the...

Last year, my computer saw a lot of me during quarantine. Between working from home, looking up information on COVID-19, watching Netflix after work, and online browsing and shopping, I was on a lot of websites every day! In fact, my friends and I joked that if there...

When I was in high school, my favorite teacher taught one of my least favorite subjects: science. His tests were notoriously difficult not because of the content, but because of how he formatted them in a way that got us to think outside the box and prepare us for...

Many of us end up with our inboxes littered with annoying, unwanted emails from companies we either once upon a time gave our information to or who have somehow found our email addresses. Are you receiving spammy messages with clickbait in the subject line and wasting...

While the chaos of the last year is starting to slowly return to normal and businesses are largely reopened, online advertising and email marketing remains a vital way for you to keep up your sales while reaching your normal audience and also extending your reach...

Most of know not to click on messages that are obviously spam. The subject line is something that is of no relevance to you or seems like it may be clickbait, like “Enter Your Banking Information for a Million Dollars!” or “You Can Lose 200 Pounds By Doing This Each...

I don’t often fall for catchy headlines, but advertisements have been known to make money off me! I have been known to give in to several emails with headlines such as “Insider, You Have Early Access to Our Spring Collection” or “Exclusive Sale! Up to 70% Off Sale.”...

I check my email almost obsessively. Multiple times a day, I open my phone just to check my email! Despite the frequency at which I clear out my unread messages, I find that I have around 20 unread messages each time I pull open my mail app. Sometimes I get fed up...

Over the past year, the marketing world has changed drastically. Many of the tactics companies used to market their services or products are no longer as effective as they were before the pandemic began more than a year ago. More people than ever turned to online...

These days, when we need to look something up, we get on the Internet. Most of the Yellow Pages that we used to flip through are used for booster seats in dining room chairs. If you can think back far enough, you will remember a time when things were not all organized...

I was recently talking with my aunt, who owns a clothing boutique and makes a lot of her sales through Facebook and Instagram. She was relaying something I know well: Running social media for a business can feel like a full-time job! It can seem like a lot of work to...

One day, my sister and I were Googling the exact same thing, and I was surprised to see that our results were different despite the fact that we put in the same search terms and live in the same house. When you search for something on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or another...

Many businesses today have come to realize that it is a necessity to have a social media following to attract new business. If you already have social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram set up for your business, you are doing well. However, simply...

In general, most of us who do not own websites probably just take search engine results as they come. We likely aren’t wondering how the person at the top of the first page got to be there or what sponsored ads to click on or why a certain website is not ranked higher...
