Below we will explore 6 different trust seals and badges that can increase your sales.  We’ve ranked starting with the best first and our least favorite last.

Scroll to the bottom for our summary with best combinations and examples.

Trust seals and badge summary

Choosing the best trust seal for you really depends on your budget.  if you have $5000+ per year you want to spend on a seal, you may want to choose something like Norton with a combination of a business verification such as the TrustLock Verified Business seal at $9/mo.  However, if you’re like most website owners who wouldn’t rather spend too much, we’d recommend going with TrustLock PRO verification package which starts at only $19.99 and comes with a sales increase guarantee.  The verification includes a ‘Verified Business’ badge, a ‘Verified Safe Privacy’ badge and a ‘Verified SSL Secure’ badge. With TrustLock, you get 3 verifications for only $19.99, while other services cost astronomically higher prices and you only get one verification seal or badge.

We also like Trust Lock because they seem to be the most professional badge and verification service that won’t ding you badly on the price and gives you 3 options of verification that can be used on different sections of your site to address different customer concerns at the perfect time. (Learn more about TrustLock: https://TrustLock.co)

We’ve seen great results with TrustLock being combined with other pre-made badges and credit card logos as seen below:

As you can see this landing page/checkout page features official logos showing what the service works with and combines this with a Stripe logo and ‘safe and secure’ text above trustworthy credit card brands.  They’ve combined all this with the TrustLock verified business and Verified SSL SECURE which is one of the best combination ideas we’ve seen so far.  This also has check marks next to reasons to buy which also all together really help to boost conversions over 250% as a combined total from the original with no trust badges or logos before.

There are other trust badge companies we haven’t discussed that may also increase conversions and sales, however, we think that testing badges on your own website is the only sure-fire way to know it’s true effectiveness.

The cost of the Antminer X3 is expensive as you can see. The first batch will ship one month earlier than the June batch, and you’ll save nearly $4400 if you wait, however, if you’re able to get the Antminer X3 sooner, you’ll be far more profitable at first. However, if Bitmain doesn’t sell too many of the first price due to the high price, second batch purchasers might be lucky and still have some great profitability.

The specs of the Antminer are impressive and will use very little power compared to any other Antminer every produced.  It utilizes only 550 watts instead of 1200 watts on nearly any other Antminer that Bitmain has ever released.  The miner runs at 220 KH/s (220,000) which is the equivalent of a LOT of GPU miners.  This new introduction into ASIC’s could spell huge trouble for those mining with GPU’s.

You can see the Antminer X3 specs below:

Specifications

Antminer X3 Algorithms

Current profitability with Antminer X3 is around $200/day and $6200/month which is around $75,000/year.

Antminer X3 Coins That Can Be Mined

• Monero (XMR)
• Electroneum (ETN)
• Bytecoin (BCN)
• Sumokoin (SUMO)
• Dinastycoin (DCY)

Model Antminer X3 (220Kh) will mine using the CryptoNight algorithm with a maximum hash rate of 220kh/s and a power consumption of 550W which can be purchased from Bitmain. When you buy Antminer X3, you’ll also need a AP3++ Power supply with 10 connections for the miner’s 3X hashing boards and control board.

The bottom line, should you buy the Antminer X3?

The price is very high and while this might be alarming to some people, the high price will deter many people from purchasing which will keep the mining competition low and difficulty low. Although we cannot confirm it appears that Bitmain has not run out of pre-orders which is a strong indicator that they have not sold very fast.  This being said, there may be some opportunity as others won’t be able to purchase this miner and the profitability will most likely stay fairly consistent without any massive hikes in difficulty.  The good part about this is if you DO end up being one of the lucky first purchasers of the Antminer X3, you will be earning some huge revenue at first.  In fact, after just 2 months you should be able to pay for this miner according to our estimates after buying the Antminer X3 Batch 1. This is not investment advice and you should be careful as with all crypto investments, but we do believe this miner may be one of the most profitable miners ever released from any ASIC manufacture ever.

If you do decide to buy Antminer X3, you can use the links below to see the most current prices on eBay, and Bitmain.

When Riviton Launched its first GoViral 1.0 plugin they had no clue how valuable it would really be until some further testing found that proves this plugin actually did provide incredible results!

Testing and plugin background:

A friend of the plugin owner had given a copy to the owner of a popular site UpVines.net and after he had installed the plugin his traffic and revenue quadrupled.  (You can see this proof if you look at his Alexa status and see when his traffic hit viral status) His revenue was then making over $10,000/day and increased from there until country specific Adsense policies hit him, but thankfully the full aprox. $81,434.00 was finalized and paid.  The site now utilizes Taboola monetization and continues to get huge amounts of traffic and ad revenue.

Since then the GoViral plugin has been implemented on many other sites including ViralFlood.com, Astoundable.com, MeaningFilled.com, ViralDoza.com, SmokingDesigners.com, and many others.

This plugin works especially well with content that is socially positive where sharing is most likely.  The popup makes the possibility of converting your visits into shares MUCH more likely as you will see below…

Thankfully we were able to get some stats of when the GoViral plugin was installed on Astoundable.com:

This specific plugin paid for itself within the first day of implementation. It all depends on the type of content you are creating and the share prompt, but after implementing the GoViral plugin we did see a jump in our overall share count and a huge jump in Fan page likes thanks to the second popup. —Paul, Astoundable.com

As you can see this plugin can increase the your shares which will translate into traffic, but then when something really goes viral, you’ll soon see why this plugin is MUCH more useful then other traditional share buttons.

The popup plugin uses 2 different popups.  The first is a Facebook share button, image and editable prompt text.  Then if the user shares, a fan page “LIKE” popup appears.

You can see the graphic we pulled from the SmokingDesigners blog below:

You can see how it works above and also see it in action at Astoundable.com, ViralFlood.com, or many others…

Full List Of GoViral 5.0 Popup Features:

Core Features:

1. Facebook Share popup & second Facebook “like” our page popup on end of post.
2. Facebook Share popup & second Facebook “like” our page popup on end of YouTube video play.
3. All the text is editable in admin.
4. NEW 5.0 FEATURES:
   1. Edit share prompt text on each post. (Perfect for leveraging your prompt text verbiage depending on the type of post. e.g. If you post a video post, then you could edit your prompt to “Thanks for watching” or “Enjoy Watching? Please Share”, however for a post this would not be appropriate so you can now edit this on each post.  For a post with cat abuse activism related content you could have the prompt say something like “Help stop this. Please Share!”)  We have found that this can generate AMAZING results depending on your audience, content, and current traffic.
   2. Edit Facebook Like prompt on each post.
   3. Edit Facebook Page URL to be displayed for the like PopUp on each post.  Easily build custom Facebook pages depending on the type of content you are creating.
   4. Edit colors of the background overlay and popup color.
   5. Edit text fonts within admin panel.
   6. Edit Min. Top height for some website configurations.
   7. Edit popup width px settings.
   8. Edit “close” button text verbiage.
   9. Enable / Disable either Share popups or like popups on each single post, or ALL posts within the admin panel.
   10. Share click stats on the button seen within each single post settings and a reset button for reseting the share click count.
   11. Facebook App ID integration.
   12. Extra fast VS original GoViral plugin
5. Delay time on post popup editable in admin.
6. Super lightweight.  This will not decrease page load time.
7. Editable region on each post for enabling / disabling YouTube / Post popups.
8. Responsive. Works perfectly on all tested mobile devices.
9. This plugin looks super clean, easy to install, and affordable for what you get!
10. Used on many sites including ViralFlood.com, SmokingDesigners.com, Astoundable.com, and MANY more…
11. A must have for any serious blogger wanting to increase shares and Facebook followers and well worth every penny spent!

We’re excited to say that this plugin might be one of the best social plugins for generating more shares that we have ever seen available.  You wont find anything just like it… The smooth functioning interface and customization possibilities makes this plugin a true winner and well worth the high price tag!

This video seen below is what many believe is a leaked version of the new Apple lineup.  I personally won’t say that I’m sure these will be the reality of the new product lineup for Apple, but either way I’m getting pretty excited!

Are you ready for the new iPhone 6?

Please SHARE with your friends!!

Want to see what it looks like with IOS installed? Check out the video below:

Please SHARE with your friends!!

You stoop down and pick up your sad and depressed iPhone.  You are surprised because it is still working!  HALLAJUUUAA!  You are ecstatic with joy, because while your iPhone does have cracks, it still works! huurraayyy!  The gray Apple of awesomeness hasn’t completely let you down.  That is until you swipe to unlock and your finger catches on the fragmented edges of an angry glass shard.  This is when you yelp with pain, agony, and anger!  But all hope isn’t gone!  So you set your iPhone down and drive off!

Now you find yourself sadly shelling out another $200 bucks at your local cell phone carriers shop.  You sign another ugly yet necessary contract, and upgrade to the next newest piece of Apple technology!  Your old iPhone with part of your finger is still left inside the car.  Now the question is what will you do with it?  The cool part is you don’t have to think anymore because we have come out with some pretty awesome things to do with your old and broken iPhone.  Keep reading for extended awesomeness!

3 awesome things to do with a broken iPhone:

1. Burry it – Yes, this is one method that some are currently using to show their true sadness, homage, and respect towards their broken Apple products.  In fact some are actually creating custom tomb stones and special burials for their iPhone.  While this might seem a little ridiculous or crazy, you might want to show a little respect and give your iDevice a proper burial!
2. Burn it – Burning your iPhone is another way to do away with the sadness of its broken state and the withdrawals from your iAddiction.  Burning your iPhone can potentially lead to a fireworks show or a minor explosion so we don’t recommend it here at the VaultFeed, however if you still haven’t found a good use for that old iPhone, why not pollute the environment and make a big bang out of it!  Burning your iPhone can also lead to a very high return on investment if you video tape it and slap it on YouTube.  People love to see things burn!  But please, if you do decide to burn your iPhone, make sure to check if your country allows such an activity to take place.  It would be a shame to pollute a city, country, or province where polluting isn’t cool.  Just as a side note, you might not want to pollute.  It isn’t that awesome anyways.
3. Sell It – If you and your iPhone still aren’t getting along too well, there is one thing that will solve this problem more then anything. You can take it and stomp, burn, burry it on or in the ground and take your anger out on it, but sadly this is financially endangering and sadly inappropriate.  Your friends might think you need to be admitted to a mental ward, but the worst part is you won’t be doing your iPhone any good. You might get rid of the overflowing anger, however there are much better ways to deal with unhappiness caused by iPhone breakage. In fact a little cash might cheer you up. so why not sell your broken iPhone! It sure is more profitable then staring at it, stomping it with anger, or throwing it away. If you can find someone on Craigslist willing to buy your broken iPhone, this is one way, but you can also sell it for parts on eBay.  OR there are also other new ways that prove to be fairly profitable and easy. You can instantly sell your iPhone to DeviceFlip.com, a trade-in company specializing in broken iPhones, or you can head over to CashitGadget.com. There are also other websites that offer “cash for your broken iPhone” programs that might get you more cash then your sadness can handle. So cheer up, getting cash isn’t that bad after all!  To find out more: Learn More.

Now that you have burned, buried, or sold that broken iPhone, you can relax with your new iPhone in hand and continue with your complete addiction of Facebook, Twitter, or your favorite social addiction!  just remember not to let your iPhone fly out of your pocket, because you are already paying for 2 contracts by now and a 3rd one would be a complete pity and disgrace to the wallet!

As you can see, the DK-40-lumus smart glasses have some style along with their boasted potential.  The google glass has a smaller screen inside the glass, however this DK-40 model created by Lumus, boasts a 640×480 display that spans the entire circumference of the right eye’s lens.  You can also see through it which could be a very interesting concept indeed!  This product will be showcased at the 2014 CES with the DEV kit and SDK.  At that time we will see what the software will do.  For now its only a beautiful looking prototype.

With Google glass being launched to the public in the soon future, this would be a great period in history to launch such a competing product.  If the creators of the DK-40 can get their hands in the door with this device, it may lead to future development in the glasses related tech segment.

We hope the software installed and used on this device is as good as it looks from the exterior, however we will keep you updated on the developments of the Lumus DK-40 and future “glass” competitors that may emerge in the coming years!
