In the Online education marketplace, quality rises to the top. You want to know how courses with massive enrollments happen? Well, people aren’t fools. Nobody buys lemons anymore.

Self-Learning: The New Master’s Degree [Infographic]

May 15, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

More and more people are starting to get tired of paying up to 50,000 dollars a year for a quality education. Employers are starting to stop caring about degrees. All they care about now is skills, skills, skills! After all, what’s the use of learning (and paying for) philosophy in college if all you want is to be a programmer? Fortunately for you, there are many ways available online or offline where you skip paying high fees for a teacher, and you just teach yourself everything you need to know to get a job. Or, if you already have one, maybe you could use a new skill or two without classes 5 days a week

May 7, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Last week, I attended Elite Retreat 9 in San Francsico. The event was put on by Shoemoney Media Inc, and took place at the Clift Hotel. Jeremy Schoemaker, founder of Shoemoney Media, likes to describe the event as the conference you always wished you could go to but never seemed to find, and I couldn’t agree more! Some of the top tech minds in the country came together to learn from one another, make meaningful connections, and of course have some fun. I was lucky enough to have a chance to attend, and learned from some of the industries leading minds. Speakers at ER9 included: Jeremy Schoemaker, founder of Shoemoney Media Inc David Greenbaum, CEO of BoostCTR Tim Mayer, VP of Marketing at ShopAtHome.com Jason Nazar, Co-Founder and CEO of Docstoc Isaac Saldana, President and Co-Founder of SendGrid Toren Ajk, Founder & CEO of Tapation Dave Snyder, CEO of SteelCast Vik Duggal, VP of Revenue and Operations at ReTargeter The overarching point of similarity between speakers and attendees was PASSION

Instructor Tip of the Week: Hacking Studio Quality Audio

April 30, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

You’ve heard it in videos before: audio that sounds like it was recorded on the back of a pickup truck going through a tunnel: full of echos, crackling “S”’s, background noise, and hollow voices. But the solution doesn’t require thousands of dollars in expensive equipment or buying time at a studio. In fact, you can get professional quality audio with just a hundred bucks and some creativity. Here’s how: It all starts with the microphone, that magical device designed to capture sounds, and are often too successful. The trick is to find a mic that has a Cardioid or hypercardioid pattern. Cardioid patterns only pick up the sounds from right in front of the mic, rather than the entire room, so it doesn’t sound like you’re in an open area, even if you are.

April 23, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

1. Admin Panel Take some time to explore the in-depth features of the newly improved admin panel. Much of the old Facebook insights are still included, but the revamped version is much easier on the eyes, and includes additional insightful aspects such as: – You can now view the date that a new fan “Likes” your page. Get creative and personal with this new feature by highlighting and/or thanking the new fan for liking your page. – The ability to see which month your page was most engaging.

How to Ensure Your Website and Pages are Discoverable with Sitemaps — A SPN Exclusive

April 23, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Sitemaps are used to tell the search engines about pages on your website that may not otherwise be discovered by the search engines. Generally there are two types of Sitemaps – a HTML Sitemap or a XML Sitemap. Both types will contain a list of the URL’s that lead to pages within your website. The HTML Sitemap will contain an organized list of HTML coded text links pointing to the important pages on your website. See an example of what a HTML Sitemap looks like at: Sitemap The XML Sitemap will contain a XML structured list of URL’s pointing to all pages on your website which you want the search engines to know about. See an example of what a XML Sitemap looks like at: Sitemap.xml If you are knowledgeable about HTML and you know how to hand code, you can create your own HTML Sitemap file using a text editor such as Notepad. If you want to spend less time creating the file then use Adobe Dreamweaver or another HTML editor to assist you.
