• Article Writing Made Easy
11 May 2008 at 8:15am
by noreply@blogger.com (Brian Scott)
 Writing and submitting articles is an effective marketing strategy to deliver targeted visitors, increase your rankings and boost sales. However, it is easy to equate article writing with onerous tasks such as writing high school or university essays. The memories of the pain involved in this form of writing can take time to fade away. The good news is that after learning a few simple steps, writing your own articles isn't as hard as it appears.
One of the biggest hurdles most new writers face is finding ideas to write about. The easiest way to begin is to write about things you are interested in and preferably passionate about. You already have knowledge in these areas which can be shared with others. It is easy to under-estimate your own abilities in areas you... ( cont'd )

• Making Money as a Freelance Photographer
4 May 2008 at 5:16am
by noreply@blogger.com (Brian Scott)
 The first thing to do if you want to make money from photos is learn how to take great ones. In the world of commercial photography clarity sells. The subject of how to take a good photo is too comprehensive for one article, however the following is important:
· Have a decent camera.
· Know how to use it.
· Have an eye for detail and colour.
· Be ready to grab an opportunity when it presents itself.
If you happen to be driving through the hills of Scotland and come across a lone piper (or even two), grab that camera. Watch for sunsets, moonrise, cloud formations and tree shapes. Keep a sharp eye on your pet for unusual poses, and visit your florist every so often. Flower pictures are surely many photographers' bread and butter and they can be photographed in the lig...

• Freelance Writer Advice by Bob Younce
4 May 2008 at 5:09am
by noreply@blogger.com (Brian Scott)
 I frequently am asked, sometimes by a total stranger, what it is like to be a successful freelance writer. My answer is always the same:
"It's the hardest job I've ever had. It's also the most satisfying."
Here are the most important bits of advice and encouragement I can offer regarding freelance writing:
First, you need to know that freelance writing is a somewhat complex and unpredictable business, especially when it comes to freelance writing online. One day you can be at the top of the heap, and have to beat potential clients away with a stick. The next day you might be begging former clients for any work whatsoever. In this way, freelance writing is a lot like a roller coaster ride, but with less nausea and more loops.
The good news is that, for the dedicated... ( cont'd )
• Your business, in words: The power of a good slogan
4 May 2008 at 5:03am
by noreply@blogger.com (Brian Scott)
 If you're like most business owners, you need to make your marketing efforts work hard for the money. And one of the keys to successful marketing is to start with a well conceived message that captures the essence of your company or product, is memorable and appeals to your target market: in other words, a good slogan or tagline.
Of course, if you've ever tried to write a tagline for your company, you know that the process is a lot harder than it sounds. Join PROFIT Editor-in-Chief Ian Portsmouth and Steve Cone, author of Powerlines: Words that Sell Brands, Grip Fans, and Sometimes Change History, as they discuss:
- Problems encountered when creating slogans and taglines
- Good taglines for small business
- Slogans that miss the mark, and what makes them bad

• Homeworkers: Get mobile, get promoted
29 Apr 2008 at 7:59am
by noreply@blogger.com (Brian Scott)
 Without that five minutes chat by the watercooler, the open-ended lunch break, or a boss's beckoning door, homeworkers can often feel isolated from colleagues and the opportunities for informal networking and mentoring that are wrought by the almost mythical 9-to-5. Without the ties that bind, those working from home offices can be overlooked for perks and promotions. So, what's a busy homebody to do? Get connected, that's what!
Research to be published soon in the International Journal of Mobile Communications, looked at how a small sample of homeworkers working in a telecommunications organization were affected in terms of job satisfaction and promotions.
Homeworking involves individuals carrying out traditional office tasks, full-time or part-time, usually usi... ( cont'd )
• Your Business Card is a Powerful Marketing Tool
27 Apr 2008 at 11:43am
by noreply@blogger.com (Brian Scott)
 A few years back, the standard business card had basic contact information printed in one color, usually black, on one side of plain vanilla paper stock, sometimes with two-color printing to kick it up a bit. Today you can easily print on both sides of a BC in four-color process with a laminated, glossy finish. In regard to cost, it's about fifty dollars for 500 cards. This is a fraction of what it cost a few years ago. Now that's a bargain.
"BCs are becoming mini-brochures that can make a colorful impression. The second side can be just the logo if you are after an 'I am very cool' effect, or you could print a mission statement if you want people to know what you stand for, and, at the very least, a short list of special things your company does. Whatever way y... ( cont'd )

The Internet has revolutionized the job search process, making it easy for job seekers to find and apply for dozens of jobs in a matter of minutes.
