Today's Story Highlights

How Alternative Lending Sources Can Help E-Commerce Companies Grow
E-commerce companies must surmount a variety of unique challenges to
grow. At any given time, companies may encounter a desperate need to
spruce up the look and feel of their website and mobile app, boost their
digital storage capacity, or optimize the way they process transactions
so that customers can make purchases on different online platforms
seamlessly.

Facebook Unfazed by $5B FTC Settlement
The Federal Trade Commission this week announced its approval of a $5
billion settlement with Facebook, ending a long-running investigation
into the company's privacy practices. The commission's 3-2 vote was
along party lines. The United States Department of Justice must finalize
the settlement before the matter is closed. The DoJ's action will end
the investigation that began early last year.

5 Ways for Amazon Sellers to Elevate Their Brand
We all want to be rich and successful, but if it was easy, we'd all have
it. When it comes to Amazon, however, finding success isn't impossible.
All it takes is focus and determination. To start, business owners need
to alter their thinking and overall goals. Going from $0 to $100,000 in
the first 30 days of a new venture sounds great, but it isn't realistic.

How Sales Reps Can Solve 3 Nagging Document Problems
Technology has so empowered today's customers that they are totally in
control of the sales process. This means that the quality of the
customer experience is a determining factor in whether a sales
organization succeeds or fails. Consider, for instance, that more than
half of customers are likely to switch brands if a company doesn't make
an effort to personalize communications with them.

Mnuchin Sounds Alarm Over Facebook's Money-Minting Plan
The Treasury Department has "very serious concerns" about Facebook's new
Libra cryptocurrency, according to Secretary Steve Mnuchin. "Libra could
be misused by money launderers and terrorist financiers.
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have been exploited to support
billions of dollars of illicit activity, like cybercrime, tax evasion,
extortion, ransomware, illicit drugs, human trafficking."
