I’ve decided that my next tutorial series will be really big and will answer many of the questions I receive. The only problem is that most people either want to see an Android / Games Tutorial, or a J2EE / Application Development Framework Tutorial?
I can’t do both because they will each take at least 6 months each, so I leave it to you to decide which tutorial series I will do first. Vote for your favorite tutorial below and which ever one gets the most votes wins.
This has been a common request week and the most popular request I get is How Do I Get Twitter Followers.
While I don’t consider myself an expert, I did put on about 10,000 followers in 2 months. Because you asked for it, I’ll show you exactly what FREE sites I used to get Twitter followers.
I list all of the sites I use after the video, for your convenience.
I’ve been asked for this list for quite some time. Many people are looking for more followers on Twitter. So, I looked for those with the best Followers/Following Ratio.
Those with the best Followers/Following Ratio are most likely to follow you and to follow you quickly. All of the Twitter users are listed below in order.
I’m sure if you are here, you know about the 2,000 follow limit. Also make sure that you don’t go overboard following and unfollowing.
I recently went to Niagara Falls and I needed a program to convert MTS files. Most of the programs cost $40 plus, but then I found Handbrake.
Handbrake converts most any video formats to a handful of modern ones being MP4 and MKV. Handbrake converts videos for Mac as well as PCs.
It is an extremely easy program to use. Just follow the directions below while saving yourself $40.
In my previous post I showed you the Propaganda Posters of the United States during World War 2.
This time I present Nazi Propaganda Posters. When I first received these I expected them to be very violent, but I found them to be less violent than the first set.
While the American posters called for civilians to do their part and to degrade the enemy the Nazi posters differed greatly. They instead focused on German power and the superiority of the German people.
One of you guys sent me a whole bunch of Propaganda Posters from World War 2. Since I’m not old enough to remember this time I thought they were very interesting.
Yes there are a bunch of Uncle Sam posters along with Rosie the Riveter. Some posters are definitely not politically correct today, but during war times all bets are off.
Either way it’s an interesting look at propaganda posters from U.S. allies during the war.
Paul wrote in and asked if I could make a Blank USA Map he could use for info graphics.
I redrew both a very detailed and a simple version of a map of the US. One map includes state names while the other doesn’t.
I provide these maps in EPS format. Each state is separated from all of the others. This should make it very easy to turn them into info graphics, or whatever else you’d like.
You can use these maps for free of course.
I sign up for a countless number of email newsletters. I do this so that I can see the few fabulous newsletters.
Previously I showed you how to Create Email Newsletters in a nice video tutorial. I then went on to show you Email Newsletter Marketing Examples that you could use as a template to make yours.
Since I haven’t done this for a while I decided to show you the best newsletters I’ve received so far this year.
Anna wrote in and asked me to show here different ways to draw in Adobe Illustrator. Here I demonstrate a way to draw that should be easy for anyone to create beautiful illustrations.

I recently showed you how I look up demographic data in How to Find Demographics.
Here I show you all of the great information you can find for free online. This is the same demographics information that is sold for thousands of dollars.
After the video, I supply you with some great lists I’ve located at City Data.com.
I’ve received many requests to do an article on how to design layouts, flyers, business cards, etc. So, in this article I’ll show you how to design a business card.
I’ll show you what my business card would look like if I emulated some of the terrible designs I’ve seen. I’d like to show the actual cards, but I don’t want to be sued.
Special Note: I’m going to focus on traditional card designs here. I think they will apply to a wider audience. So, no cards made from metal today!
I’m asked all of the time, “How do I use demographic information to find the best location for my new business?” This article will also show current business owners, how to find those communities to market to though. All of the information you need is available online and is 100% free.
I’m going to take through a real world example today, in which I show you the sites I use and what demographics I find to be the most helpful. The following data is what I find to be most important when deciding on where to place your business:
Ramona wrote in an asked, “I’d like more information on social network marketing. How do you use social networks to drive people to your website?”

Arnold549 wrote in and asked, “I’m looking for more information on Generation Marketing. Do you have any information on the generations differences? What do you have on marketing to the greatest generation, x generation, generations y, and millenial?”
Each generation is marketed to in completely different ways. By targeting a group by marketing in a way similar to other companies that have found success marketing to a specific generation you can really stand out.

After I put up my list of top restaurant food’s I received an email asking, “How are we supposed to start a restaurant without a nice menu?” So, here I provide some of the best restaurant Menu Marketing example’s.
I looked at hundreds of menu’s last year, and I have to say in my opinion Denny’s knows how to design a great menu. I don’t know about the food, but the menu’s are amazing! There goes my Denny’s sponsorship:)
I put tons of menu’s through focus group’s and Dennys won by a wide margin. I also included a few menu’s from TGI Friday’s because they won second place. I have other menu’s and if you want to see all of them, leave a comment down below.
