Good memories… from Kingston.com

Is your older computer running slowly but it's good enough to be your backup computer?  Does your laptop run slowly because you've had it for along time and you've "had it"? We've all seen that yellow caution notice that tells us we're running out of memory.  But when shutting your computer off and on again doesn't stop that notice from becoming a usual part of your day, it's time to call Kington on their toll free number. Sometimes I've had part number; most times I don't.   Sometimes it took 1 set of instructions to help me find the part number, othertimes, like for my 2004 CompUSA workhorse desktop, it took having a computer program assess the part

What’s holding you back from earning what you really deserve?

Today I was spammed by a fellow business owner trying to sell me copywriting services.  Unsolicited emails from someone you don't know, is spam.  Plus I have a copywriter, as listed on the employment page on my website.   The business owner wanted to write stuff for my blog.  I'm not sure she had been to this blog, but if she looked at the dates I post articles and such, she's have noticed that I don't have a big problem posting to my blog!   In fact, I enjoy coming here to write.  Although I admit loud and clear -- I am the worst proofreader of my own work known to women-kind.   Writing isn't the problem. The second thing she did wrong was email me using a yahoo

Is it time to charge what your time is really worth?

It’s Time to Charge What Your Time Is Really Worth! Catherine (name changed to protect client identity) wanted to earn more, yet she also craved a greater balance between her work and free time. She decided to take our Business Checkup Quiz, which showed her that she was leaking profits. During a pre-client conversation in 2008, I told her two things: a) She was being underpaid by at least $100 per hour, possibly $200 per hour – Regardless of the sluggish economy. b) Yes, she was leaking profits in a number of ways. Now I know this may sound a bit funny, but the truth is that not everyone should be able to afford you! If

But I want more than one target audience!

2022-08-07T17:47:00-04:00September 12th, 2010|Niching & Attracting Ideal Clients|0 Comments

“But I want to have more than one target audience!” "I'll get bored if I only work with one type of client."  I’m told this over and over and over again. Actually, the most successful companies started out with one ideal client and one niche. You may have that too, but you may have additional market segments. And there might be added income available when you look at these segments. Let me explain. I was working with a leadership coach (her niche) who was targeting executives (ideal client); and working this way wasn't working for her. Then I asked her to create a list of everyone she could possibly help. It was a very long list that

Xenu: Identify broken website links – FREE

2022-08-07T17:47:00-04:00September 11th, 2010|Website Development|0 Comments

To fix links, you have to know that they're broken (not working) or are redirecting (they work but are being sent to a different website page). Of course you fix the ones that aren't working and also change the URLS so that theyare no longer redirecting (unless it's an affiliate link). I think that I started using this free software in 2000 when my website was 10 pages! I usually upgrade when Tillman (it's creator) sends me an update notice through his other free yahoogroups list. It's not perfect, but it's very good! If you don't fix your own website, do your web designer a favor and tell them about it! Xenu's Link Sleuth: http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html
