Week #4 Post 1

Two websites I choose to comment on that could have problems for visitors are www.jamilin.com and www.gatesnfences.com . First thing that I noticed on opening these websites were the style, in a nutshell it is a brochure style, where there is a lot of static content and heavy description of the products or services offered by respective businesses.

Week #10 Post 1

A blog is an interesting way to start conversation that has value and humans are very drawn to content that is expressing emotions on a topic or their personal experiences regarding that topic. Let’s say I have a business either I could do aggressive marketing by posting ads on TV or radio, promoting various discounts to bring customers there by increasing sales. This method does not involve two-way communication, its only one-sided conversation or bombardment of “come buy our stuff”. Other way would be conversing with people telling them our side of the story by personal experiences, such as how we traveled to various places to see where our products are coming from, who our suppliers are, and their life experiences and emotions will surely make readers or people connect more easily. In this case personal experiences are themselves promoting business because people are so curious to know what steps we are taking to run this business by reading about those experiences. It doe...
