    Yaron Been is the founder of EcomXFactor, and other ecommerce related businesses.

    Yaron was encouraged to set-up an on-line store by a friend who had been successful. He ran this store, with his wife as a side gig to his day job for two years. After two years that business was successful enough for both Yaron and his wife to focus on ecommerce full time and adopt a digital nomad approach to working.

    Yaron now focuses his business activities on sharing what he has learnt about digital advertising.

    In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds, Yaron shares with host Michael Millward the logical approach to paid online advertising.

    Michael describes how not understanding advertising led him to use content as a way of raising the online presence of his web shop Work Place Learning Centre.

    Yaron explains how content can be used effectively within a marketing campaign, and how it contributes to the data that digital advertising generates to improve advertising and relationships with customers.

    He describes how advertisers who take the long-term view when advertising online enjoy more success than advertisers who want instant returns. he learnt about how to create a commercial advantage from being an inclusive employer.
