Bob Eckstein just recommended our fair blog on his busy and interesting blog, Freelancers’s Lament - he wrote up a nice post on Freelancing Tips 101. Good stuff! Thanks, Bob.
By the way, if you see yourself as a freelancer this is a fun, factual and lively site with a sense of humor and humility [...]

OK, so you live in the country. And you’re unable to swing the 10K it will cost to snake the village’s DSL line through the woods (underground) to your house. So you get a dish … and you get humbled really, really fast.

Problem: these days my Google Alerts are 70% spam sites. Check it out. This is [...]

If you’re like me, you dread the tedious process of backing up. But you have to do it. So for some years now, at least when I was back in Windows-land and tethered to my desk, I had a Maxtor One Touch external hard drive. With it’s companion software, Retrospect, it backed up my daily [...]

I recently got this amazingly inspiring email blast from a vendor I admire, Shelley MacDonald Beaulieu, Owner/Manager To The Letter Word Processing Inc.
“Well, technology is a wonderful thing I’ve brought my laptop, I’ve brought my internet phone, and I’ve rented a multifunction laser printer/scanner/fax combination.

Q: Do you think is important to trademark your brand name? (It’s going to be the url, the title of the book, everywhere…)

Recently, alarmingly, I had a free teleclass bridge just crumble and fall apart before 600 pairs of eyes. That’s how many people had gathered to hear what Nancy Marmolejo had to say about Social Media List Building.
