Interview with the Buzzom.com CEO discussing it’s history and future(iWebgorilla exclusive).
Buzzom .com is rated one of the top social media tools for Twitter today. I had a chance to do an online interview with the CEO and founder of Buzzom , and InRev Systems, Bhupendra Khanal. We discussed the roots of Buzzom.com and what the future holds.
Question 1- What gave you idea for Buzzom?
Bhupendra: InRev started as a MIS Reporting and Analytics Company and built product for Web based reporting named Scoop. The sales were low for Scoop as it hit the market in Feb 2009 which was mid-recession period.
We then shifted our focus to B2C(business to consumer) through an Continue reading

The Five Biggest Business Fails with Internet Advertising
Internet advertising is now part of the business world. What I mean is it works just like offline businesses in the way that it’s location, location, location, and right now the internet is where people are gathering(over 1/3 of their waking time), but many businesses see advertising on the NET and assign it with little value because it’s not tangible, and they refuse to validate it’s business potential to increase revenue.
When companies start an advertising campaign, they assume it works Continue reading

Coffeecup Software – Web Development? It’s not just a breakfast drink(new designers) anymore.
This is my story about one web design company I have grown to respect and appreciate over the years.
The year was 2005. I searched for software to build a website. There was plenty out on the market like netobjects and such, but I wanted something simple that I could be creative with. I didn’t know any HTML or Search Engine Optimization. A friend of mine found Coffeecup. I would go to their forums and ask what I thought was silly questions about web design, but folks like Adam and Inger never belittled me and everyone was always supportive. Continue reading
How do you choose a product to promote on the internet?
Don’t mean to be a bigger buzz kill than Buzz Killington, but let me first say, if you believe any of the hype on making riches quick, you’re going down the wrong path. If anyone who sold Internet Marketing products or methods and is making money, in most cases will NOT share it->unless that niche has lost it’s revenue potential.
When looking at a company to promote, these are the factors I look for:
- 1- Are they a stable company with a track record?(Always Google and research)
- 2- Do they seem honest(yes, sometimes they don’t pay)? Continue reading
How a Web Professional and Not Any Guy Makes the Sale! Works Offline Too!
First, let me say as a web professional, I have a very strong sales background connecting with clients including property management, IT, security, and of course desktop PC’s. I learned sales closing and marketing tactics over the years from a wide variety of companies. Some successful, and some not so much. My favorite source for the way I approach clients is not from a new modern model, but from a man who sold pots and pans, Zig Ziglar. In one of his books, he viewed almost everyone he encountered as a client in some capacity Continue reading
One of my favorite features of the Coffeecup 2010 HTML Editor
Several things are awesome with this web design program, but one of my favorite features that is built in is the search and replace. What’s so special you ask? The search and replace not only will do a S&R for a file, but for an entire directory and sub directories. If you need to brand a site quickly to promote any product, it makes this process 10 times easier and is more accurate then the opensource software I was using previously.
How to get a great HTML editor –>HTML Editor
If you look around on the Coffeecup site, or have tried their other programs, you probably realize it’s not like that swreg crap where software doesn’t perform. Their software and support is excellent.
SEO – Search Engine Optimization, It’s a Science and not an Art!
I often see ebooks, articles, ads, saying they have a ‘trick’ that will allow you to be found on the search engines. This is due to the fact that they are emphasizing an area that the search engines use to decide what position to display the information about the site, Continue reading

Too many people do this for an easy buck and don’t treat it for what it is…a business.
