One other one is to implement a Facebook connect option to allow users to register for your emails. Some users are hesitant to go through the whole registration process but feel comfortable joining if done via Facebook. You can ask for email address and other demo information via Fb connect so you don’t loose any functionality bu offering this. Just another way to make it easy for users to sign up for your emails.

Quick overview of how you can set this up:

Thanks for your question. While some argue that it’s preferable to have your blog reside on your website, a separate but well-intgrated blog can still drive traffic to your site. For instance, the content management system for our site (www.EvergreenMarketingCo.com) precluded us from hosting our blog. We use a separate URL (www.LetsGrowBlog.com), but the same navigation for both. Many readers don’t realize they’re jumping back and forth between two sites.

I’m hoping you’re going to be at the DGA Conference this week in Chicago. I’ll be doing the follow-up to Brad’s presentation in February and I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Thanks,

must a blog reside on/inside an existing website in order to boost the search engine rating for that site? Im thinking that it must…

]]> Comment on Have You Tried Crowdsourcing? by Novak http://letsgrowblog.com/2010/11/19/have-you-tried-crowdsourcing/#comment-963 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 06:01:26 +0000 http://letsgrowblog.com/?p=3349#comment-963 Personally, I am quite on the fence regarding the use of a crowdsourcing site for a logo design. It is still a touchy issue for most designers who said that crowdsourcing is a no-no for obtaining a logo design. I have tried crowdsourcing before and I know the risks involved but it comes within the territory. But there are other no-frills logo design websites online such as http://www.logobee.com, http://www.logodesignstation.com, logoyes.com, etc. which are actually great in getting a professional logo design at a fraction of the price and minus the risks of crowdsourcing (plagiarism is one of them). Seeing that there are no consultation services, the price is significantly lower than that of conventional design firms. For instance, I have tried http://www.logodesignstation.com and the experience was indeed a positive one. I managed to get my business logo design at an affordable price and the turnaround time was great as well. Highly recommended. Although crowdsourcing for logo designs could be a bane for some, many find it to be a viable alternative to get a fast logo on the cheap. It all depends on the individual actually.

]]> Comment on Current Trends in Vegetable Gardening by Val Gosset http://letsgrowblog.com/2011/05/17/current-trends-in-vegetable-gardening/#comment-962 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:06:49 +0000 http://letsgrowblog.com/?p=3665#comment-962 Good question, Mary. I’m sure a fair number of the small plots are urban/city dwellers, and newbie gardeners are undoubtedly part of that group. But the same study reported that 5% fewer people were planning to add vegetable gardens in 2011, as compared to 2010 … so I’m guessing that newbie gardeners aren’t the primary driving force in the trend towards small gardens.

As opposed to long-standing customers reducing their garden size, maybe it is more new gardeners with smaller yards.
