Among other questions, Nadeem is asked to share his expertise on what entrepreneurs can do to boost their profits in the challenging months and years ahead. He also reveals […]

After a fairly subdued couple of years as a result of Brexit and Covid, we were pleased to bounce back in style in 2022. Last year Azam Marketing were thrilled to celebrate our Silver Anniversary. On our 20th anniversary, we had donated GBP £20,000 (USD $23,961 or EUR €22,694 at the time of writing) to […]

As with any design agency worth its salt, at Azam we like to prepare our creative well in advance of when it’ll be needed; it’s not unusual for us to be designing graphics and landing pages for a client’s Christmas campaign in February and their Valentine’s campaign in December. It doesn’t always work out like […]

The Coronavirus pandemic-induced lockdowns and supply chain issues set back Azam Marketing and our clients in 2020 and 2021, but we start 2022 with optimism and a spring in our step. Why? Because last year we invested thousands of hours quietly beavering away on a smorgasbord of projects that, while being nothing to write home […]

What a whirlwind year this has been for yours truly. Azam Marketing have been fortunate to have more clients signing-up to our agency’s services during the last several months than at any time over the previous decade.

Azam Marketing’s CEO Nadeem announces the launch of company’s new around-the-clock service for clients to mark the company’s remarkable birthday. It’s the 4th of August, 1997.

Throwback Ten Years: Azam Marketing was once again triumphant at the UK's Performance Marketing Awards, winning the Best Finance Publisher category and also earning Highly Commended for Best Lead Generation Campaign!

We all know what kind of year 2020 was for almost everyone, so will spare you the clichés and platitudes. Our thoughts, of course, are with those whose lives were turned upside down by the pandemic and, in particular, those who have fallen victim to COVID-19. For Azam Marketing and for our clients, it’s been […]

Since this blog launched in 2007, readers have been able to be notified of new posts by subscribing using a service called ‘FeedBurner’.

In 2007 FeedBurner hosted over a million feeds for 584,832 publishers and on the 3rd of June of that year Google bought the booming company for a rumoured $100 million. However, for reasons only known to the gods at Googleplex, in the thirteen years since Google’s acquisition, the service has been more-or-less completely neglected and left to rot. There are indications FeedBurner may eventually be closed down.

Changing an RSS/email feed providers is not a decision to be taken lightly, but at Azam we felt our followers deserved much better than the dated offering of FeedBurner. Therefore, we have bitten the bullet and switched to a service called follow.it. A far-reaching analysis of the top 30 feed management services for blogs of size of Azam.info led us to conclude that follow.it was by far the best service for our subscribers.

Existing Azam.info Subscribers

If you are one of our many loyal existing subscribers, our engineers have made sure you have been seamlessly transitioned to the new provider.

Email subscribers should have received this post in their inboxes (if not, please subscribe here). We’d encourage you to ‘white list’ the follow.it email address you’ve received it from so that our updates are not categorised as ‘spam’ by your email provider.

If you’re an existing RSS subscriber, make sure that http://www.azam.info/feed is the URL you are using in your feed reader.

New Azam.info Subscribers

If you haven’t subscribed yet, then you are missing out on being kept up-to-date with blog posts that our thousands of followers enjoy. Azam Marketing’s bods will be publishing ‘must-read’ content over the coming year, such as the techniques it has taken our boffins hundreds of hours of granular testing and optimisation over months to increase the yield from our online marketing campaigns.

Unlike most publications, we value your time and therefore only share the very highest calibre content here, publishing new blog posts sporadically. Therefore, on average, you will only receive one notification every few weeks from us.

How can you be notified every time we publish a new blog post? The two simplest methods are via email and RSS.

How to Subscribe by Email

In terms of the former option, enter your email address in the box below and then hit the blue ‘Press to Subscribe’ button. Next you’ll usually have to confirm you are not a robot in the new window that appears.

After that, you may need to verify your email address, so check your inbox or ‘junk mail’ folder to see the email from follow.it. All you have to do is click the verification link and, hey presto, you’re subscribed!

One final step: to ensure our emails don’t go to your junk mail folder, please ‘white list’ follow.it’s email address. How to do this depends on which email provider you are using, but with most of them you can mark the email address from which you receive our verification missive as being a ‘safe sender’, ‘white list’ it, or add it to your ‘contacts’.

How to Subscribe by RSS

If you’re more an RSS kinda of guy or gal, all you have to do is follow us via this link. Our RSS feed link is http://www.azam.info/feed.

Coming soon, you’ll also be able to receive notifications of new blog posts via a Google Chrome browser extension, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat and several other methods, so stay tuned!

follow.it for Your Blog

If you’re a blog owner yourself and thinking “this follow.it service the Azam blog has migrated to is rather neat and maybe I should do the same?”, then we would vigorously nod our head. It stands heads and tails above the competition in terms of the features it boasts and what it has in its product roadmap.

Incredibly, AppSumo‘s store for SaaS products is currently selling a lifetime subscription to follow.it, enabling you to use the service for your blog for a one-off fee rather than having to a pay a month-on-month subscription amount to either follow.it or any other such provider. The cost for this starts at a ridiculously low $59. But we have to warn you: the lifetime deal will end very shortly.

You can get a $10 reduction off follow.it or any other product at AppSumo by using this special link.

We’ll round off this post with the following video in which one of the AppSumo team members give a lowdown on this exceptional tool we are thrilled to have partnered up with.

Smart entrepreneurs understand the importance of domain names and how the right domain will accelerate a business’s presence and profits. This is why, to pick but a few examples, the domain name Business.com sold for $345 million, LasVegas.com for $90 million and CarInsurance.com for $49.7 million.

A domain name is not just something one types on a mobile or laptop to visit a website. It is a brand. It is printed on letterheads, business cards, advertisements, pens, carrier bags, maybe even company cars etc.

A prime domain name is the equivalent of having your business located at a prestigious address in the offline world and can dramatically enhance your reputation and revenues.

It is also worth bearing in mind more and more people are accessing websites on mobiles and tablets, so it’s more important than ever to have a short domain name to make it easier for them to type in a URL on their devices.

Since our inception in 1997, Azam Marketing has built an enviable portfolio of snappy, prized domain names. Some are undeveloped and others have websites on them, with some of our sites being over 20 years old.

One of the main reasons our domain names are tremendously valuable is because pages hosted on them rank much higher in search engine results than those on more recently registered domains. Search engine algorithms give superior ‘Domain Authority’ to domains that are (a) “aged” (registered a long time ago) and (b) have quality and mature links going to them. Our domains tick the boxes on all counts.

As we announced in our recent video, we have launched a new website showcasing our most prime domain names available for sale. You may see the selection on offer by whizzing over here.

Since the website launched a few weeks ago we have already sold one domain and are in the final stages of completely the sale of two others.

We are celebrating Azam Marketing’s 23rd anniversary and are thrilled to announce the launch of our 23-23-23 Promotion today. Enjoy a gargantuan 23% off the prices of all our domain names and websites for sale for the next 23 days. Yes, purchase our V.I.P. web assets for an astronomical reduction of nearly a quarter off their regular prices until and including 23 September 2020!

All you have to do is quote ‘AZAMBLOG23OFF” when you complete the enquiry form on the bottom of our Azam Premium Domains website.

Additionally, if you refer an individual or organisation who buys one or more of our domain names we will give you a very juicy 23% of the sale price for the period of this promotion! (This offer is obviously subject to certain T&Cs to counter fraud and the like: for instance, you can’t refer a family member to buy a domain name to earn the referral commission and they transfer the domain to you.)

Therefore, spread the word to as many people as possible and you can earn nearly a quarter of the sale price of our domains, potentially many thousands of dollars.

We’re into the final third of the year now. Success comes from action not equivocation, so take advantage of this exclusive limited period promotion before it’s too late.

If you have an enquiry about our domain names or 23-23-23 Promotion, please feel free to email us at domains [at] azam.net , telephone +44 (0) 20 33 55 4334 or Skype ‘AzamMkt’.

Breaking News: in our new video, Nadeem spills the beans on a couple of new stallions we’ve brought into the Azam Marketing stables.

A gruelling process taking the same length of time as Odysseus’ fabled journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War has concluded in two rather splendid assets being acquired to add to Azam Marketing’s portfolio to set us up for our growth plans for the 2020s.

The obstacles thankfully did not include either Minotaurs or Cyclops in the Mediterranean but, among others, did feature a Kafkaesque involvement in a tussle between two warring nations in the Caucuses in central Asia.

Nadeem reminds us how meticulous planning and relentless persistence more often than not leads to fruitful outcomes, sharing words of wisdom from Thomas Edison and Gena Showalter.

This presentation is the third and final part of a triumvirate of videos entitled “The Azam Comeback”. You may watch the first two here at Azam.info: I. A Revelatory Update on the Last Six Months and II. The Launch of Azam’s New Website to Boost Your Online Growth .

In the video, Nadeem encourages viewers to visit ‘The Hunger Site’ to support their worthy causes. Here is the link to their website, which we would encourage you to bookmark and visit regularly: https://thehungersite.greatergood.com/clickToGive/ths/home

Now that you’ve found out about our domain name acquisitions, accelerate your own journey to online success rather than taking a labyrinth route like the aforementioned Odysseus by taking over one of our potent domain names or websites. They might not possess the powers of a Golden Fleece but will almost certainly get you to your end goal much quicker. Sail over here: Azam Prime Domain Names and Websites for Sale .

As announced in our recent video, today we are thrilled to officially launch our brand new website!

In the last decade we have built and managed dozens of websites for our valued clients, but this is the first internal website Azam Marketing has published in all that time.

What is the website? All is revealed in the following video from our Manager Nadeem.

In the revelatory announcement Nadeem also divulges his remorse to this day for a painful decision he had to make with Azam Marketing back in 2006, launches a potentially lucrative promotion exclusively for the viewers, and various things besides.

Watch it here:

Now that the curtains have been opened, take a trip around the spanking new Azam Domains website here.

In the video Nadeem refers to two of the many incredible domain names for sale on Azam Domains. Both of them hosted successful websites in the past and have significant numbers of highly-prized aged, mature inbound links to them which will boost the presence in Google and other search engines for whoever buys the domain names and hosts websites on them.

Alongside that, their extremely long histories of circa 20 years means their webpages will be afforded a massively superior Domain Authority by search engine algorithms than more recently registered domain names and those webpages will be ranked much higher in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

See the details about the first one, 121Love.com, on this page and the second one, 1Lit.com/1Lit.co.uk, over here.

If you are interested in buying these or any other of our other valuable web properties, please complete the enquiry form at the bottom of our new website.

As Nadeem mentions, a new video has been released to follow this. It is quite an eye-opener. Watch it here on Azam.info.

Abby is doing a remarkable job in nurturing entrepreneurship in the Muslim community and he holds the interviews to give both established and aspiring businesspeople the opportunity to learn some of the strategies for success from his guests.
