Millennials aren't picking up side hustles for the love of the game. Rising costs and stagnant wages have made extra income necessary. Many of these gigs look modest at first, but the numbers tell a different story. A lot of people are told to make content for everyone, which usually leads nowhere. Creators who earn consistently tend to do the opposite by narrowing their focus until viewers know precisely what problem they'll solve.

PayPal announced this morning its agreement to acquire Cymbio, a Tel Aviv-based multi-channel orchestration platform founded in 2015. Cymbio automates brand-to-retailer connectivity, managing product data, inventory synchronization, order orchestration, and billing.

Today, more than 55% of people live in cities, and urbanization is expected to rise to 68% by 2050, placing intense pressure on delivery networks to keep up with growing demand.

Valentine's Day is a notoriously difficult holiday to shop for, and whether you've been together for six months or six years, a romantic gesture that demonstrates your partner just gets it remains timeless. We think the right gift can communicate your feelings and intentions in ways words just can't, even if you are a poet. Sure, the best Valentine's gifts would traditionally include dark chocolate or bouquets and bubbly, but our design-oriented minds like to be a little less on-the-nose when it comes to our V-Day gifts.

where I worked in the early 2000s in its rather pioneering e-commerce business (which launched, among other things, the first click and collect service). Argos was jostling with Tesco for first place at Christmas, and I've found myself reflecting on why DTC has become such a major issue for several sectors that have not traditionally had a direct path to purchase over the last few years.

If you want to narrow your options down to bags suitable for a trip to Portland, Oregon in May, Al Mode will start a query fan-out, which means it runs several simultaneous searches to figure out what makes a bag good for rainy weather and long journeys, and then use those criteria to suggest waterproof options with easy access to pockets.

Specifically, the technology that helped retail brands sell unsold or excess products (off-channel inventory) wasn't as sophisticated as it could have been. Brands sell their excess inventory at discount retailers like Nordstrom Rack, but often lose money because managing unsold inventory is difficult. Products are spread across warehouses, and teams are left guessing the value of an item and when the best time to sell it is.

At some point, the industry stopped arguing about whether content drives commerce and started living in the reality where the two are indistinguishable. "Content, commerce and technology are really coming forward in a special way and recognition that there aren't disparate separate systems any longer," says Cara Pratt, president of global retail and media at Circana. "There really is one connected, cohesive, intelligent ecosystem that is fueling discovery, fueling conversion and purchase."

Setting aside a designated day to switch utility providers will pay dividends in the long run

When you think about what we do, we facilitate payments all around the world, so that provides a really interesting data set across all sectors, across all countries, 220 countries and territories. Last year we're about 160 billion transactions through our network, so it does provide quite a unique view. The past holiday season, 3.9% was the year-over-year growth.

With the spring approaching, it's time to start thinking about how you'll file your taxes. Unfortunately, with the recent demise of Direct File, there isn't a free, government-provided alternative to TurboTax in 2026, and you'll need to look to other federal programs, including IRS Free File, to file your paperwork. If you don't qualify for Free File, chances are you'll need to dish out cash for Intuit's software.

I've been covering Amazon sales as a shopping writer for almost five years now. That, combined with my more than 20 years of travel experience, has helped me master where to find the best deals on everything from luggage and travel accessories to comfy shoes and airport outfits. Leading up to Amazon's Long Weekend sale, I made a list of must-have items that I've waited to go on sale (because it's when discounts are at their steepest).

It's happened to all of usyou meticulously plan and budget a trip for months, maybe even years, and then the week before your departure, you spend an exorbitant amount of money on various travel needs. Whether you need a new outfit to fly in, packing cubes, or a portable charger, last-minute purchases quickly add up and can easily ruin your set budget.

Hello, influencers Influencers often refer to themselves a "creators." Sometimes, retailers will use a more ambiguous "community" framing or even "talent relations." The most unabashed will speak openly of a social affiliate network. But call them what you like, social influencers had a major presence this year. Walmart, for example, sent Sarah Henry, its VP of content, influencer and commerce, to discuss the retailer's creator programs.

Carraig Donn have been made aware of several websites posing as Carraig Donn. The websites look very genuine. They have our logo, products and all products are being sold at up to 90pc off. Some are advertising that we are having a closing down sale. Carraig Donn said the websites are part of a "sophisticated online phishing scheme" and warned that customers will not receive any goods and may not get their money back if they use them.

eBay's Money Back Guarantee policy promises item delivery to the buyer not just their ZIP code. The guarantee only says the delivery must have the recipient's address, showing the zip code (or international equivalent) that matches the one on the order details page. It says nothing about only checking or verifying the ZIP code in a dispute. When you provided USPS's evidence, eBay owed you a human intervention. Federal Trade Commission rules against deceptive business practices require companies to honor advertised guarantees.

Amazon has never failed to make the most of a holiday weekend with a sale event, and this upcoming weekend is no exception.

Mood lighting is always in high demand - and when the internet finds it, social media is quick to blow it up for everyone to obsess over. That's the case with this now-viral HomeGoods lamp, where one shopper just stumbled upon the "mother lode" of mood lighting.
