It's thought that around fifty percent of all businesses fail within just five years of incorporation. You only have to look around you at the high street to see that making a success commercially is not that easy.

Last year, so many of our well-known brands went bust that it seemed as if even the most well thought-out and loved business ideas were destined to fail, as the economy shifted and people's attitudes towards buying changed.

Remember the MEMO RANDOMS poster series we featured earlier this year?

Yes, the one about modern workplace etiquettes and it's Kickstarter campaign. Well, the campaign is fully funded now. In fact, it was 570% funded. Wow!

After we featured this poster series we explored more of Jason's work and trust me everything that Jason has done and is doing is not only amazing but is A-W-E-S-O-M-E as well.

Kids can be a handful if their brimming energy is left improperly channeled. Sounds like quite a heavyweight sermon, but nonetheless true.

It has been scientifically validated that a child's brain is much more astute and receptive to grasp newer things and can think way beyond a fully developed adult's brain.

I recently was reading a couple of webpages on the internet that spoke of interesting inventions like apps and everyday mundane things that you and me use. The catch was they were all invented by kids in the age group of 12 to 18 years.

Steve Jobs is credited with popularizing iTunes and what later became a technological phenomena all of its own. But do you know the story behind how the first 25 ringtones on iPhones came about?

Here's the interesting tale that I stumbled upon and wanted to share with you guys.

It was somewhere in 2005 that Steve Jobs was struggling with iTunes. With a bad deal following his Motorola experince and the partnership with Rokr E790 candy bar cell phone, Apple Inc had to recover. The E790 was the first handset to host the iTunes and play the AAC format audio files. The success of iTunes is what helped Apple retain its patent/copyright control over its hardware-n-software products in the future.

Coming to the ringtones, it is reported from some sources that Steve Jobs had a particular dislike for the then famous Nokia tune. Interestingly, the Nokia tune is a 1902-era guitar riff, much popular with cellphone users in 2005. But Jobs idea was to develop high fidelity audio files for his iPhones, not some low sounding beeps and MIDI ringtones.

Internet trolls are the worst! Or are they, really? Check out three trolling examples that might change your perception of Internet trolls on the whole.

While we can see why some would want the eternal banishment of Internet trolls, we are of the opinion that there are cases when trolling can be used for good, not evil. And it seems we're not alone in this: Buzzfeed's Matt Saccaro even went so far as to say that "it's actually the best part of the web." Now, we're not saying that we totally agree with that 'best' tag. After all, the Internet is just a treasure trove of awesome things like Grumpy Cat, Facebook (for the most part), The Onion, and so on. We will, however, admit that in recent years, a new breed of troll has emerged—one who is actually well-intentioned and doesn't just use his or her powers to ignite flame wars. To give you clearer concept of this noveau troll, here are three examples of trolling gone awesome.

While your childhood may have been relatively computer free, you have to realize that things are different now, and that your kids (if you already have them) or your future kids will have a computer or some sort of cousin, for all of their lives. It is not unusual for kids these days to have natural instincts when it comes to computer. It will seem like they automatically know how to use the mouse, the keyboard, turn on the movie player or know how to play some sort of game. However, as much as your kid knows, or seems to know, it is still your duty as his parent or guardian to make sure that they are using the computer in the right away. After all, a kid who may have less than stellar computer skills may suffer in school, and in his career in the future.

Ever wondered, what makes one head to the gym and work on him or herself for hours - to change how one looks.

Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror one fine morning and not being able to recognize yourself or sitting with friends and be subjected to public ridicule just because of your weight. Fills you up with self-hatred, doesn't it?

The only solution to this problem is losing that extra weight.

Well, there are tonnes of options out there for weight loss: gyming, dieting, etc. But for many people it's hard to take out time from their busy schedule for gyming or for keeping a check on what they eat. Most people call these excuses lame and to some extent yes, they are.

In case, you're one of those people who want motivation more than reason then you must check out SnapWeight.

6 Cool Recycled Wallets

Posted: 5/19/2013
I recently chanced upon this beautiful creation of wallets while surfing the net. What struck me different was the materials used to make these fancy and cool-looking wallets.

Wallets have had a special place in history. Noted historian, Lawrence C.Worth comments about the Renaissance period economic activity. He points that "Renaissance-era merchant’s budget (or “bowgett”) as a leather case containing money, ledgers, and some food".

We at E-junkie have featured all sort of inspirational works on our blog, from posters/artwork to blogs; everything.

Something that always puzzles me is that we all seek inspiration in the works and lives of the well known people; today and yesterday but what about those people who are a great part of our history and today but are somehow still unknown or lets say unheard of.

I recently came across a very inspiring poster-line that gives voice to the unknown called the Unknown Voices by Josh Walker.

In simple words affiliate marketing is a fabulous way of making money online. It's a technique where other publishers and websites promote your business who is also known as affiliates. This is usually performed in exchange as a share of the profits. Various advertisers provide different types of affiliate programs that include pay per click, pay per sale and pay per lead. The various marketing channels used for this kind of marketing include search engines, content sites or e-mail lists. As soon as you join an affiliate program, you have to enter into an affiliate agreement.  That explains you the necessary requirements you need to meet and how the click-through, lead generation or sales are tracked.

Unlike other social networking websites, Facebook has constantly been upgrading itself since it’s launch in 2004. That is one of the reasons why it is so addictive. Employees think of work as their first priority after Facebook, of course. The Facebook friends of your teenager know about your teenager more than you do.

There is perhaps no specific time that is necessarily right to start your company or start your life. But sometimes and some moments seem more auspicious than others. Now is such a moment. If we don't take charge and usher in the future - if you don't take charge of your life - there is the sense that no one else will.

Peter Thiel, the popular venture capitalist and entrepreneur shared his business wisdom with a Stanford University class in a lecture called Computer Science 183: Start-up. He started off by claiming "If I do my job right, this is the last class you'll ever have to take." 

I stumbled upon a few of these lecture notes, shared by Blake Masters who was a law student on the verge of passing out at the time of Thiel's lecture. Blake recollects Theil's words "I'm not dropping out - something, that more entrepreneurially-minded young people should consider".

After graduating, Blake founded his own legal tech start-up - Judicata. He has since then been blogging his class notes for others to be inspired.

I recently realized that I've been in the self-publishing game for over a decade. I wrote my first eBook sometime in 2002 (I've been erroneously saying 2004 for years). The reason this is important is, the longer you do something, hopefully you get better at predicting what makes you successful at it.

It wasn't until 2010 that I started to make some real money selling eBooks online. That year, I earned over half my annual income from eBooks I wrote and self-published. I still own/operate an SEO writing company, but if I never picked up another client, I could make a full-time living writing and self-publishing my own eBooks.

In an interesting post in April, we featured Nickolay Lamm's fabulous handiwork- Popular destinations under sea level.

This Pittsburg-based artist believes in speaking his mind through his illustrations. A self-styled researcher cum artist, he chose to become a entrepreneur early but his first love remains his passion for art. It is his tool for communicating his causes.

With a flair for capturing what he strongly feels about, Nickolay says "I always loved to draw and almost went to an art school instead of university. I combine art and research together to create compelling illustrations. All of my work is made possible by my sponsors, who commission what I do".

From technology to business wisdom to environmental awareness to Barbie's without makeup,  Lamm has been reproducing his thoughts on his blog since 2011.

You may be an expert internet marketer, but has it ever occurred to you that you might be missing out on a more global marketplace if you only focus on English-language SEO? The world is a big place, and although it seems as though everyone speaks English, the vast majority of the world's population does not. These are people who will never land on you page, and who will never help you boost your rankings.

There are two basic ways to do your SEO in a foreign language. You can either target the language itself or do it individually by country. Both approaches are equally valid.

Don't let that happen to you! Increase the probability of your financial survival by breaking the following productivity-busting bad behaviors:
