Userbility

I know it’s early, but I am going to call this one our real quick. The winner is Zappos.com. Wow! What an improvement. I think their usability is hands down- great! I’ve always been a big fan of Zappos, they provide a really quality service and I can find my size sneakers/clothes there with no problem. That may be easy for most people, but I am 6’5″, 290lbs. So, to find a company with affordable, brand name stuff in my size is excellent. I’m glad they redesigned their site and made such great imrpovements to the usability and I am sure the technical SEO of their site. I will be sure to watch their traffic numbers for the next couple months and see how it is.  Congrats guys….check out the screen shot below or go visit the site….

Half article writing, half blogging, writing for a business is actually kind of fun. I started writing some articles today for start up loans and about half way through I realized I was learning a lot of shit I wouldn’t otherwise have stumbled on. I found a couple resources that were really informative, you can check out the specific article I am talking about by going to this page – business credit 101.

Which brings me to my point. Writing for businesses is actually fun and not only that, you learn quite a bit. I am a do-it-to-learn type of person, more on that here. While not everyone has the time to put together a whole article on small business credit, they would benefit quite a bit from writing an article on whatever they want to learn. You process so much more when you actually type it into a computer or write it on a piece of paper. Give it a try.

You can make money doing it too! There are a ton of article submission places that actually offer you profit sharing based on the money your article makes. Squidoo lenses even give you that ability. So, next time you want to learn something- write something. If you want to get paid to do it, then submit to a place that will pay you, if you want to just put it out there for the community, then consider guest posting on Userbility. Either way, have fun, write and learn.
