Apply For The 2017 Google Online Marketing Challenge For Students Worldwide And Win Fantastic Prizes

Registration is currently ongoing for the 2017 Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC).
The GOMC is a unique opportunity for students to experience and create online marketing campaigns using Google AdWords. Over 110,000 students and professors from almost 100 countries have participated in the past 9 years.

With a $250 AdWords advertising budget provided by Google, students develop and run an online advertising campaign for a business or non-profit organization over a three week period. The teams that develop and communicate the most successful campaigns win awesome prizes, including trips to Google International offices. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the optional AdWords Certification category by studying and passing the necessary exams to become an AdWords Certified individual in the Google Partners platform.


One interesting thing about the Online Marketing Challenge is that it provides a hands-on learning platform for students around the world to develop their online marketing skills and gain practical experience working with real businesses and non-profits to solve real problems and produce real results.

KILLER OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY Imagine it's 1976 and you're outside, going for a walk in your neighbourhood. As you walk, you pass the neighbour's house whose garage is open... Inside, they're tinkering with computers - and you greet them... "Hey Steve!" -  you say... and behind them is a handwritten sign that reads "Apple Computers"... Knowing what you do now, would you walk past them - or instead try to get involved with their company? Cryptocurrency is a similar story.

The 10 Commandments Of A Great Marriage

One of the best ways to experience marital bliss is to clone successful marriages. In my many years of analyzing and gathering information about marriage and love relationships, I've noticed the consistent patterns that happy and successful marriage partners follow. They engage in weighty efforts to build strong bonds, take responsibility for bringing out the best in each other, and are quick to patch the holes in their relationship . These consistent patterns revolve around the fundamental principles that I call the 10 commandments of a great marriage. 1. YOU SHALL FORGIVE EACH OTHER'S FAULT AND LEARN TO SAY SORRY If there's anything you must learn early about relationship and marriage, it is to understand that love thrives on forgiveness. It's paramount to constantly forgive your spouse for their eccentricities and annoying habits, and also forgive yourself for any mistakes you make if you truly want to be happy in your marriage.
