Facebook is adding to their original deals offering. Now, I can appreciate trying to get in on the deals frenzy because there is money to be made.

10 Things TV Shopping Networks Can Teach You About Making Money Blogging
This guest post is by Jill Chivers of www.shopyourwardrobe.com. I found myself entranced recently by a “presentation” on a TV shopping network.

Irony in My Social Media?
I use Social Media....well, who doesn't? And for me, that means logging into Facebook now and then to peruse my news feed for the latest. Facebook is actually how I keep in touch with the "real" news - so, I don't mean just my friends latest status or industry updates. Because I'm a fan of Pages like Mashable, NPR, The Daily Show (yes, I said it) and other "newsy" type sites, I find it's a very convenient way to stay in touch with what is going on in the world.The other day as I was scrolling … [Read more...]
