Affiliate Marketing
When people hear about affiliate marketing, they initially think of an online version of businesses such as Avon or Mary Kay: you receive a product and sell it for commission. Over the years, affiliate marketing became popular and many’s main source of income. As Nicola Smith puts it in her article "Affiliate Marketing: A Good Deal”, “affiliate marketing has long been established as one of the most effective ways of driving sales online, with anticipated sales reaching around 4.6 billion last year, according to eConsultancy". Researching into it dispels initial conceptions - it is not just about directly selling products. It also requires many other skills, such as being able to connect with people and possessing writing skills that were captivating but honest. The best part was that there were millions of markets to choose from. You could essentially make money from writing about anything you liked - whether it was art or fitness. In 2017, affiliate marketing continues to generate revenue for many people. Since it is a concept that is constantly developing, there are certain trends that affiliates need to consider to not only continue making money, but to grow their market - condensing your niche, constantly researching new products and services, mobile technology, and creating your own product or service to compliment your market.

We share advice on everything from our diets to our clothing, but why do we keep our investment decisions to ourselves? Buying clothes can be costly, as well as finding the perfect organic diet to accent your gym membership and smoothie obsession. But investing actually makes you money rather than forcing you to use it. So why are humans inclined to listen to friends when it comes to spending money but are hesitant when it comes to earning it?

Building Duologue
“There should be an app for that,” I said. “We should build it!” So we did. “It” is Duologue, a chatbot for Facebook Messenger that rescues you from uncomfortable silences. Visit the page, start chatting with it, and it will offer you some options for continuing the conversation when it looks like the well has run dry. Much like the bottom of my pint glass on the evening we decided to build Duologue.
