When I launched my wordpress website design business a few years ago, my enthusiasm for helping people make money online caused me to develop a business model for myself that involved a lot of personal time with my clients. They seemed to appreciate the level of service that I offered for reasonable rates and it [...]

For the past two years, I’ve been working with a client whom I felt had also become my friend. After extracting more than twice the amount of labor than was allocated under the terms of our monthly retainer agreement for WordPress Website Development services over several months, Jeff Howard and Peter McLaughlin of Winning Sales Habits have reminded that mixing friendship with business is a bad idea.

Building backlinks to your pages is an essential part of SEO (short for Search Engine Optimization) for two reasons. The first reason is that it helps your pages get indexed faster, which is very important because you want the search engines to find them as soon as possible and crawl them regularly. The second reason is that it helps your pages get higher search engine rankings for the keywords of your choice.
A brief visit to the support page revealed that Skype was aware of the problems that people were having with logging in. I followed recommended steps to remedy the problem, which included shutting down my home network and resetting the routers.
This is probably quite an embarrassment for Skype in the advent of their upcoming IPO. For the rest of us, we can breathe a sigh of relief that our Skype accounts have not been hijacked by the hackers and phishers who prey on Skype users.
The longer your wordpress website is online, the more pages that are listed in search engines. Getting pages listed is good for your business, for sure, but it also makes it easier for spammers to target your site in their efforts to get links to their own sites. One method of doing this is referral spam. Perusing some of the comments blocked naturally by Akismet, it is fairly clear that they were not written by a human. Even though some of the malformed subjects and content created by spinning tools can become a source of amusement, having to manage your Read the rest of this entry
Freelancer service values are only the latest in a long chain of progress that has cascading peripheral effects for us all. As our country’s dependency on petroleum products shows no signs of lessening and the cost of a loaf of bread spirals upward, we all are feeling the pinch in our pocket books. When manufacturing began moving offshore during the late 70’s, the source of our country’s expertise was described as being the service industry. The train has left the station but which way is it heading? After we’ve outsourced our services industry, what will be left?
A wise man with whom I worked during my earlier years once came up with a profound New Year’s resolution at our annual marketing support meeting. The entire group laughed out loud when he said his resolution was to never say “it should work” again. There does seem to be a resurgence of people not [...]
YouTube is a great place to locate innovative marketing techniques. It is also a great place to wonder how people came up with their ideas but some things are better left unexplained … especially a video like this!
Prospects sometimes ask for me to submit a detailed proposal that outlines deliverables and costs for milestones on a project. This usually follows a lengthy phone conversation. This is not an unreasonable request but preparing these proposals takes time that cannot be spent on other business activities and exposes details about my strategies and methods so my quandary is what level of commitment to ask of the prospect in exchange prior to delivering the document. Although it is part of doing business, nobody likes paperwork.
Entrepreneurs benefit greatly from the advanced technologies availed by multimedia mobile devices but these same advantages have potential to introduce stress, which can have a negative impact on our overall business productivity. While we want to give our customers the impression nothing matters more to us than our business, we are of no use to customers if we are burned out.
Tools, like social networks and Skype, have made it easier to build business and promote products and services at a minimal cost. They have also opened up a new channel for hackers. Both Twitter and Facebook have been hacked repeatedly during the past year. To the best of my understanding, it always starts with a malicious link.
