Understanding how to use the "creative commons" is about to be every Internet marketer's job. I'm lousy at attribution and that has to stop. I don't like it when sites copy my work without attribution so only fair to hold myself to the same standard or stop being mad when someone copies my work wholesale (unlikely). Attribution is the right Thank You and kudos for someone's hard work.

![How To: Include Psychology In Business Card Design [Infographic] | SocialMediaDesign | Scoop.it](/resources/img/white.gif)
If you are still using a traditional business card, try incorporating some psychology into your business card design. It will affect how you are perceived. Via Tocquigny

When was the last time you changed your business card design? Most of the tools we use to grow our businesses have gone high tech. Whether it’s a phone sitting on our desks with a long cord, a fax machine in the corner or even a huge bulky file cabinet stuffed with records, it’s all been upgraded to more effective and efficient high tech ways of doing things. The one thing that hasn’t really changed throughout the years is the business card. Sure, we’ve written about high tech business cards, but there always seems to be one catch with those business card designs, and that is that both people have to be users of the same app or same system in order for it to work. There have been some really incredible business card designs that weren’t cards at all. We’ve seen them where both people touch smartphones and they both instantly follow each other on all their social networks and fancy stuff like that, but again, it requires that both people are already users of whatever app that requires. When you first meet someone, and you are trying to make a strong first impression, the last thing you want to say is something awkward like, “In order for me to give you my business card, I need you to install an app.” So, as a result, most of us still carry around traditional business cards. They are fast, easy, and they still get the job done. If you are going to keep using a traditional business card, you might as well do whatever you can to make it stand out and be as appealing as possible. Richard wrote about how to do this in an article called The Ultimate Guide To Business Card Design. Today I’d like to share some more tips for you that incorporate psychology into yourbusiness card design. This infographic called How To Design Your Business Card With Psychology In Mind by Uprinting touches on the psychology that goes into your business card design. In other words, how will something as simple as a font choice or spacing play into how you are perceived to your potential client? This will hopefully give you some new ideas, and it might even inspire you to update your own business card design. Delete the scoop?

I would love to see the compiled data concerning these challenging aspects of online registratoin forms - (simply just the worst of the worst in my opinion haha) I COMPLETELY agree with what was stated above - NOTHING irritates me more than when a website asks me immediately to sign up and fill out a form - I mean DAMN can I atleast see if it would be worth my while first? It comes off as cold, unfriendly, to 'corportae-like' (meaning they don't care about you just getting your info) Awesome stats in this as well! Definitely a great read. Delete the scoop?

Today, no longer is having a high school diploma is enough to land a good job and support family. College is key today, but finding the funds to pay for it can be tricky.

When you’re a brand establishing yourself on social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, in the very early days you’re usually less concerned about who is following you and more about how many... It’s superficial, of course, but large numbers of followers on Twitter and Likes on your Facebook Page do have provide a level of social proof that makes you more attractive to new followers, and new Likes – when someone sees that you’re already popular, they’re far more likely to make the leap and get on board themselves. But for businesses looking to maximize the ROI of their social media strategy, how many is always far, far less important than who. Pretty soon you realise that a big number is meaningless unless it’s actually converting into brand awareness, website footfall and sales – so who should you be looking to attract? Early adopters, social sharers and power-users are all pivotal in helping your brand reach critical max, but they’re not alone. Indeed, lurkers and even haters can become powerful influencers if you take the time to engage and inspire them.

What if I said that almost a quarter (23 percent) of Facebook users check their account five or more times each day, Twitter users are 33 percent more likely to be Democrats or – sorry Foursquare – that 74 percent of Americans are unfamiliar with the concept of ‘checking in’.

Fifteen year olds may look longingly back to when they were ten and had a whole lot less work to do at home. According to the handy infographic below, the average 6-8 year old spends 9 hours per week studying, vs. 14 hours per week for college students. That doesn’t seem so awful, especially when you consider that the average student spends 4.39 hours per day watching television. Via Alfredo Calderon, Gust MEES, ABroaderView Delete the scoop?
