In fact, it would be a violation of trademark laws to register a domain using a famous person’s name or alias. Therefore, webmasters must be familiar with some intellectual property legalities and technicalities that govern the registration of websites.

So the first of the month flitted by.
As did the fifth, and then subsequently the month ended. Oh, months, will you ever change your ways? No. Somewhere between the mortgage or rent, the utilities, the Lowes card, the Capital One, the Care Credit for the cats, of course the car payment and insurance, and let’s not forget Junior’s daycare, somehow something slipped through the cracks of your airtight system… you know, that one notebook you keep on the kitchen counter. It’s not working, and also, it has spaghetti sauce and your dad’s pulmonologist’s phone number scribbled on it for reasons unknown. It’s time for a new system. And if you run your own small business from home or a nearby little office, your notebook is seriously going to love partnering up with an app.

It’s easy, in our web-dependent world, to think that—especially if we’ve been doing this awhile—we know all there is to know about digital marketing. After all—knowing that we need a website and a social media presence is old news. At the same time, though, the web moves fast. Just look at how often Google changes the rules and metrics for SEO! We thought—given some of the recent changes, that it might be nice to provide our readers with an overview of how to apply our “standard” skills in a way that incorporates the “newest” rules.

The paradox of the elevator pitch is that everybody recognizes its importance but nobody does it very well.
No matter their industry, every professional needs to work on how to develop and deliver a well-crafted elevator pitch.
Here are three important lessons that I have found on how to craft an effective elevator pitch.
Have you ever downloaded a smartphone app, only to find that it didn’t work? You probably ignored it or deleted it from your home screen, assuming the developers hadn’t worked out all of the bugs yet. However, you may have also fallen victim to what is known in the industry as a fake app.

Some of them simply pose as phone apps, then install malware or other malicious code onto your smartphone after installation. Some of them even copy the logo and name of real apps, in the hopes that you’ll download and install them by mistake.
