Social media is a piece of cake, right? All you do is post, tweet or like, retweet, comment, follow and unfollow. There are no rules since it’s all anonymous (or at least safe from in front of your screen)… Well, maybe in theory. Assuming you want to use social media not for trolling, but to actually have conversations or meet interesting people, you might want to follow a few simple (and one might even say obvious) rules.
Do your customers abandon their shopping cart right before finalising the transaction? Take a look at this infographic to find out why they do so.
We have quite a treat for all PayLane clients. We have just launched a revamped version of PayLane Merchant Panel – now it’s even easier to manage your account, check transactions, issue invoices, monitor chargebacks, modify the blacklist and many more.
PayLane is expanding not only when it comes to our services (remember our Affiliate and Referral Programs? DevZone? E-commerce platforms plugins?), but also our team.
Who is our latest addition? His name is Damian Winkowski and here’s what he has to say about himself:
Hi folks, my name is Damian and I am New Business Developer at PayLane – I find potential customers and create tailor-made payment solutions for them.
In my free time I am a crazy sailor (so far I’ve conquered Sweden, Saint Petersburg and Amsterdam), runner and book-reader (although I’m a fan of Walter Isaacson’ “Steve Jobs” and Gary Vaynerchuk’ “Crush IT” and “Thank you Economy”, it’s Tolkien’s LOTR that I’ve read 10 times already!) interested in positive psychology.

Running a website or a blog has never been easier and more accessible. There’s WordPress, Blogger, Livejournal, Tumblr. Thanks to such user-friendly and simple websites, every day thousands of new online blogs are created and anyone can become a blogger. The question is – should they?
I’m not talking about sites run by teens testing make up or personal journals for a distant family abroad, but about resourceful, opinion-forming sites that actually want to matter. Unfortunately, it seems that many of them (without pointing any fingers), focus all their attention on the quantity of posts and not the quality. Of course, the topic of the blog is important, but so are the grammar and spelling.
We all know that every self-respecting businessman has a mentor – someone who’ll teach the nuts and bolts of the bizworld, lead the way or offer a priceless piece of advice. But we also know that not everyone’s lucky enough to have someone like that in their life. What should you do then? Well, you can either decide that you don’t need others’ wisdom or you can look for it elsewhere. And what’s a better place for that than the internet? And so, to make it even easier for you to find it (cause we all know how big the internet is), we’ve decided to collect our favourite business (but not only!) quotes that will hopefully inspire, motivate and provoke you. We have chosen wise and witty words from some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and leaders, starting from Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, through Ted Turner, J. Paul Getty and ending on Guy Kawasaki, who will surely inspire you to action!
Without further ado, let me present to you… BANKS QUOTES!

It’s been a year since the launch of Google+ and one might wonder what’s happened in that time – no doubt Google is working hard to promote their social network. On one hand we see impressive growth numbers, but on the other we still spend more time on Facebook and hear that many of the Google+ profiles are in fact ‘dead’. Although Google has already shut down some of their projects in the past, it’s difficult to imagine that the same awaits their social network – it’s in a too advanced stage to back down and, as it seems, Google cares too much about it. So what does the future hold for Google+?
It might not be a very modest thing to say, but I am a bit of a low budget travels expert. Or at least that’s what my friends made me believe, as on a regular basis I get approached by them (or their friends) asking me to find them a cheap ticket to XYZ. They all seem to be in awe of my ‘skills’ and convinced that I know some extraordinary secrets that allow me to travel abroad for next to nothing, when in fact all I do is…use the internet. In the past you had to go to a travel agent, who charged a middle-man’s %. Now, all you need is a computer with the net.
That’s right, a weekend in London or Paris (assuming you live in the EU) for a total of €10 is possible. How? Take a look at a few main rules.
