Got A FaceBook Profile? You May Find This Interesting

Posted January 2, 2008 in Business, How-To, Marketing

Yesterday I read a post on ZenHabits about a new Facebook app creator from BlogFuse and I thought I’d give it a try.

I have never created a Facebook app before, and honestly never really thought about it, till I read the post on ZenHabits.

Basically what it does is display your latest blog posts on your profile and your friend’s profiles, and it’s ridiculously easy to setup (really!), you just sign up on BlogFuse, add the developer package, answer a couple questions (and of course login to your Facebook account), enter some information on Facebook and voila! You’re done! Step by step. [Click Here to Read More...]

How To Prepare Your Business For A Kick-A$$ 2008

Posted November 26, 2007 in Business, How-To

While most people are winding down for the holidays, you should be making December an action-packed month to build your business so that you hit the ground running in 2008. Here are 5 great tips that will put you ahead of the competition on January 1 – and beyond.

Don’t settle for weak goals like “I want to make more money” (an extra quarter would fulfill that, but I doubt that’s what you really want). Get specific on dollar values. On number of customers. On list size, or RSS subscribers, etc. … in short, anything you can actually measure, rather than get warm fuzzies about. Then look at them every day to keep yourself focused and on track.

5 Simple Ways To Get Repeat Business

It means showing the client that although your work has been appreciated by them and you delivered on time and everything is to their liking, you would like to offer a little more. Not necessarily go out of your way, but do what needs to be done, what you agreed on in the first place, in order to get repeat business from that client. [Click Here to Read More...]
