You won’t have to spend money with a technical webmaster to get your site to perform to Google specifications. Convesio is a web host that will deliver on that basic webmaster requirement.
2) Easy to deploy: Webmasters know that when your site runs on a slow performance web hosting service that you can save a bunch of money by then you spend it again with your technical webmaster to optimize your site for speed. Convesio provides the tools to eliminate the need to have a technical expert adjust the site for speed and performance.

If you poke around you’ll find average email marketing rates run 10% to 15% on average. You might think it would be hard to adjust your strategy to get higher rates of say 20% to 25%. What if I told you you could improve email open rates and get 40% to 50%? Here are four tips to drastically improve your open email open rates.
1) Use Provocative Titles: Write a subject line that asks a question, suggests an opportunity or causes curiosity. Like: “The most common mistake that hurts your business” or “The one thing even professionals sometimes miss” or “Are you making this revenue-killing mistake?” Just make sure that the title fits the content in the email otherwise you’ll train your subscribers not to trust the content you put out.
2) Be Generous and Give Value: Give your subscribers maximum value in your email by providing them with information assets or downloadable that make them excited to receive your emails. Selling is taking, so give more than your sell.
3) Personalize Your Emails: Email is an intimate exchange so address your subscribers by their first name where possible and make them feel you are talking to them and not a massive group of subscribers.
4) Purge your inactive subscribers Use your email platform to check to see if a person has opened your emails in the previous 3-6 months, if they haven’t put them on a re-engagement funnel and if they do not respond take them off your list. This email list sanitization process will keep the list active and your engagement levels high.
As a marketing agency (Cyberwalker Digital), we often find ourself on the front end of new and emerging businesses helping them establish their brands, their content marketing, and their digital marketing strategy. But when a client is in a relatively new product or service space, as the machine learning consultant Bitstrapped.com is, sometimes it can be challenging to help them find content and art that is royalty free. So it was when we went looking for machine learning icons. We wanted a simple monochrome icon that was immediately recognizable.
Which machine learning icons to use?
There are a lot of stock services out there that offer icons. Our first stop is almost always BigStock.com, which is one of the more affordable stock image agencies online. The have a number of usable machine learnng icons at https://www.bigstockphoto.com/search/machine-learning-icon/
The feature image on this post above is from BigStock.com. Here is one one we we like below. It has been modified by us from the original (which is found here). BigStock charges a month fee for royalty-free use of its images and icons.
Free machine learning icons and images
There are several free to use stock image sites that contain machine learning images. Some require attrbution so be sure to check the rules before you download any icons or images.
Pixabay.com
Pixabay.com is perhaps the best stock image site that has useable machine learning icons and some free high quality images that relate to machine learning. There are few circuits in brains type icons that are highly usable. Click here. Here is an example from Pixabay. If you choose to use these be sure to get them directly from Pixabay (images below are linked to Pixabay) and follow any rules for usage that the site requires.
This Pixabay brain image that contains circuits is a machine learning icon (vector) and can be found here and is free for commercial use and does not require attribution.

Review: We had Rev.com convert Peter Gabriel’s Games Without Frontiers music video using speech to text; here is what we got back
If you’re a savvy content marketer–or writer of any kind for that matter–who creates great content for your websites or publications, then you’re likely to be looking for super-efficient ways to cut down on writing time. One way to do that is to use an automated transcription service to convert voice to text files.
We often use Rev.com in our writing work. There are more services out there (Temi.com, Otter.ai, etc) Rev.com is what our household uses in our businesses usually. My wife Kay Walker is a personal growth book ghostwriter and I’m a writer, producing books and blogs, and digital marketing strategist among other things.
The speech-to-text candidate I used on Rev.com for this review was the audio from a music video of Peter Gabriel’s 1980s hit Games Without Frontiers.
No the chorus is not ‘She’s so popular‘
I chose that video because primarily when I heard it years ago during the 1980s I thought the chorus, sung by Kate Bush, was: She’s so pop-u-lar. Nope. Kate is singing “Jeux sans frontieres”, the French translation of the lyric “games without frontiers”. The audio is also nice and clean. For speech to text translation purposes there are two speakers in the audio: Bush sings the falsetto chorus and Gabriel sing-talks the verses. So it seems like a fairly straightforward job with some quirks.
For the record, here is the video, and below it is the actual accurate lyrics as provided by MusixMatch:
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontieres
Jeux sans frontiere
How Rev.com fared in our Games Without Frontiers Speech to Text showdown
Rev.com’s automated speech-to-text service produced a dismal translation, which the human service as pretty darn good.
Compared to the MusixMatch standard, the automation missed about half the words and produced a lot of “inaudible” annonations, mostly Kate Bush’s French-worded chorus.
The cost for the 4:02 minute video using automation-only speech to text conversion was $1.25 USD for 5 minutes or $025 USD per minute.
The service rounded up to the next minute so even thought the original file was 4:02 minutes, we were charged for 5 minutes, which seems a bit greedy.
Have a look at the output below:
Rev.com automated speech to text translation of Games Without Frontiers
Speaker 1 (00:34):
[inaudible]
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Plays with Jane really, really is happy. Again. Suki plays with Sasha raised with Brit and plays with it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
[inaudible]
Speaker 2 (01:18):
If it looks good In games without frontiers wall, without games, without or without
Speaker 1 (01:59):
[inaudible]
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Andre hazardous flag, Cheyenne blue, they all have Hills to fly them all. Except for dressing up in costumes, playing city games out in the tree tops, shouting out rude names.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
[inaudible]
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It looks good in games without Raul without two years In games without about two years.
Rev.com’s human speech to text service:
When I upgraded Rev.com’s human speech to text service ($6.25 for 5 minutes) it (he/she?) did a very good job of translating Gabriel’s Games Without Frontiers with only a couple of missing words in the final transcript. Primarily the word “with” was missing in a few lines of the song. An example? See below, in red.
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays [with] Jane.
On this version, we told the service ahead of time (because it asked) that the primary speaker was Peter Gabriel up front, and it guessed (or researched) Kate Bush as the second speaker. Impressive!
And, it successfully interpreted the falsetto French chorus by Bush as “jeux sans frontieres” beating our own teenage interpretation of “she’s so popular“.
Take a look:
Rev.com’s human-assisted speech to text translation of Games Without Frontiers
Kate Bush:
Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres.
Peter Gabriel:
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays Jane. Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again. Suki plays Leo. Sacha plays with Britt. Adolf builds a bonfire. Enrico plays with it.
Peter Gabriel:
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside.
Peter Gabriel:
Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle. It's a knockout.
Peter Gabriel:
If looks could kill, they probably will, in games without frontiers, war without tears. If looks could kill, they probably will, in games without frontiers, war without tears. Games without frontiers, war without tears.
Kate Bush:
Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres.
Peter Gabriel:
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue. They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu. Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games. Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names.
Peter Gabriel:
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside.
Peter Gabriel:
Whistling tunes, we piss on the goons in the jungle. It's a knockout.
Peter Gabriel:
If looks could kill, they probably will, in games without frontiers, war without tears. If looks could kill, they probably will, in games without frontiers, war without tears. Games without frontiers, war without tears.
Kate Bush:
Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres. Jeux sans frontieres.
TL;DR (Too long; Didn’t read)
The bottom line:
Rev.com automated speech-to-text translation did a dismal job of outputting Peter Gabriel’s music video Games Without Frontiers from speech to text.
The company’s human transcription service did a far better job, but at five times the price.
Overall we’ll keep using the service, but will be looking at others to compare.
