A Look Back...

I found a journal from when I was working at a market research firm a little over a year ago and it brought back some feelings. Nov. 26/08 Holy f*&king s*&t…the s*(t has hit the fan.  The Winnipeg [office] is closing!  While everyone else is freaking out, there’s me getting excited because now I’m going to be a full time freelance writer! That was when I first found out that our...

The Tax Man Cometh…...

Yes, I’m a writer, and no, I don’t do taxes.  But I have to pay taxes of course so that’s part of my business.  I’m fortunate though. My husband is a knowledge bookkeeper and tax man and he’s free – for me anyway. But this is just a friendly reminder that it’s that time of the year.  It’s time to think about getting your taxes done and filing and if...

My New Year’s Resolu...

So, finally got around to setting my New Year’s Resolutions: Take advantage of real life business opportunities. For the most part I’ve concentrated my business online.  I’ve blogged, built websites, tweeted, etc.  But in real life I haven’t done much.  I’ve got business cards (finally!) and I’ve started working on some real life networking opportunities.  I’m...

New Bloggers Need to Get T...

When you’re new to blogging it can be pretty intimidating, especially when you get out there and start looking around at all the information there is.  One person tells you that you absolutely have to have your own domain (which you have no idea how to get) and then someone else says that you can do it all for free and don’t need a domain.  Then there are all those terms – social...

I “dofollow” &...

A lot of blogger use commenting as a means of getting the word out there about their blog or web site but since there are so many spammers it has become publicly acceptable to use a nofollow in the comments section.  But with plugins like Akismet that’s no longer necessary. If you’re not sure what nofollow and dofollow means, basically it just defines whether Google will follow the link and...

Branching Out...

I’m not sure how much I’ve talked about this but my ultimate goal – my dream – is to be completely location independent.  When my kids are grown up and safely on their own, I want to be able to travel.  Due to some health issues, my husband and I will never travel by plane, but we want to buy an RV and travel around the States and Canada.  I especially want to visit lots of lakes...

Why Businesses Should Hire...

Most of us learned the ins and outs of writing, basic grammar, and sentence structure in high school.  But do you really think that your writing is good enough to convince someone to buy your product, to switch from the competition to you, or to effectively express the meaning of what you are trying to communicate?  It is possible, but the truth is that most business people don’t have the writing...

Why Should a Small Busines...

The main concern when running a small business is always the money – is it worth it to spend the money for something that you might be able to do for yourself?  Sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But don’t just assume that because you are able to do the job that doing the job yourself is the most cost-efficient solution.  Sometimes you save money or make money by paying...
