I recently gave a presentation at WordCamp NL, and that presentation was fully recorded, you can view it here: Hope you enjoy it!

As you know I’ve recently started working at OrangeValley, for which we’ve just launched the new site (Dutch, english full version coming soon). As a young and very enthusiastic company, we can be very honest about it: we’ve got room for clients. “Us” is a group of highly experienced web marketing consultants. Some of you, [...]

This is one of the cooler ideas I’ve seen recently on actually using the Wisdom of the Crowds to improve your knowledge about products. Don’t know exactly how long this has been live, but Amazon has a cool new feature for their wish lists: you can now add items from other sites. I’ll show you [...]

Glen Allsopp from ViperChill released an e-book this weekend on Online Reputation Management, and I have to say, it’s an incredibly good read. We do quite some reputation management at Onetomarket, but I’d have a hard time writing it down as good as Glen has done, keeping it a fun and good read. Donna, who [...]

This post is one big preparation for another post I’m working on. I want to make a list of all the books we all agree every online marketer should read. So please, let me hear your suggestions!
