Sometimes Glamorous Doesn’t Begin to Describe It
Gladys Karina Sandino - Glamour, Talent, Charisma
Yes, it’s not quite a breeze, chosing a way to showcase beauty, talent and charisma in the shortest, sweetest manner a web site could express. Yet, with the help of a new “partner in crime”, you can pull it off.
Showing only the glamorous side of Gladys Karina Sandino – model, actress and TV-show host, would not do her justice. So, thanks to Wix.com, an exquisite and exclusively Flash-based web building platform, you find the perfect framework for such a web site, customize it to show the many, many facets of such an multi-talented person as Gladys, mix and match portfolio materials into promotional video clips that show her lively personality in the best of lights and… voilà! A new web site is born, for a rising star in the latin enterntainment industry! Don’t take our word for it, see for yourself! Feel free to comment.
Is Your Web Site Making You Money?
Your web site is a useless expense if it doesn’t:
- Sell your products/services directly through a shopping cart.
- Bring in new clients or keep the old ones coming back.
It’s as simple as that. If you don’t want your web site to be the equivalent of a stack of brochures (or business cards) forgotten in a corner, you need to bring it in front of as many people as possible. On the internet, there are millions. How many will come to your web site?
Security 101: Your Password Sucks

Preaching the same mantra wherever you go might get a little old after a while. Those who know and believe in your expertise tend to move your constant advice and alerts somewhere in the category of nagging background noise while they go back to their old habits. Then there are those who don’t believe in your expertise to begin with, or even if what you tell them sounds commonsensical, they might find it too complicated to stick to it. Until one day, their computer either doesn’t respond any longer to their commands, or it freezes completely. And this would be just one of the happiest cases. Others might end up getting weird questions from their friends, like why do they keep sending them those annoying Viagra messages.
It gets worse when you wake up one day and you see your credit card charged for a brand new Xbox or a pimped up bicycle that was just shipped to… Russia. This is still not the worst case scenario, but by now you’ve got the picture. It could all start from your computer. And yes, it could happen to you. Statistics and horror stories in the news keep showing growing trends on cyber crime. The purpose of this post is just to show that, in case you didn’t feel like your friendly neighborhood expert (that would be us – eBiz Miami) might have a point when urging you in our newsletters to pay attention to your online habits, maybe you’ll listen to the “big boys”, who are in the trenches of digital warfare day and night, all year round. And if you take only one thing from the article we recommend here, it should be this: make sure that your favorite password does not end up as the master key to your doors, online and offline.
Read this recent post from McAffee, one of the leaders in the internet security industry. If, upon reading the article, you find that your password sucks, find time to apply the easy steps suggested there to strengthen it. Do that at least for the one on your online banking web site. Like, today!
The Personable and Lovely “Real World” Networking
Cat Zohar, Network Sensei
Even if your specialty is internet marketing, it doesn’t mean that you should stay encased only in the “virtual world”. After all, the people in that world are as real as they come. So, going out in the “real world” to meet them, definitely has its benefits. And networking cannot possibly get any more real than the poised yet alluring presence of Cat Zohar, business networking expert extraordinaire. And when you bill yourself as a Network Sensei, charisma and ease of communication sure come in handy. Is it any surprise then, that, after a brief, yet intense exchange of emails following the introduction at the Doral Chamber of Commerce, the two universes (virtual and real) have found an intersecting point?
In her own words, Cat Zohar “doesn’t do virtual”, her work is exclusively here on the planet, in the real world, she’s a “face-to-face” person and she excels at that. Part of her trade is putting together seminars for small business owners where she teaches them how to focus on people and customer service in order to attract new customers and keep them coming back. But wait! Isn’t this the exact scope of our own expertise here at eBiz Miami? The main focus of our efforts on behalf of our clients is to bring them new clients and keep them (and the existing ones) coming back to their doors. The purpose is the same, the tools are different. The result? At the upcoming seminar of the all so personable Network Sensei, there will be a guest speaker, talking exactly about those tools and how they can complement the face-to-face communications of the “front liners” (employees who come in direct contact with the public). The guest speaker, of course, yours truly, Sorin Nelersa of eBiz Miami, Inc. Stay tuned for the details on this exciting event!
And the winner is…
Sultan Stone, our latest winner.
What do you do when you have a booth at a business expo and need to attract attention to your services? Why, offer a promotion that is worth looking into, of course. And what better promotion than real value at a real discount? As Cat Zohar – one of our most recent partners (also met at the Expo) would put it, we live in an era of “extreme discount”, so if you don’t play the game, you lose. And what better discount, than a free offer. We are happy to announce the winner:
Sultan Stone, of Miami. An importer of natural stones from Europe, we will work closely with Sultan Stone to ensure the development of their web site and e-marketing success. And of course, we will report on the progress.
