    Housing Starts - Why Business Won't Be Usual
    Some will blame current economic pressure on a subprime market that was more enthusiastic than realistic. Housing starts are down with consumer confidence following suit. According to The Conference Board its “March [2007] consumer confidence index fell to 107.2, the lowest level since November and a decline that was larger than Wall Street expected.”The good news is the Dow has performed well in the midst of this news while labor statistics r
    I'm often asked how I acquire new clients as a freelancer. I use several methods. Following are three marketing tools that, in my opinion, every freelancer and/or small business owner should utilize on a regular basis.

    Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any of the companies listed below - I'm just a happy customer.

    1. Postcards: I use Vistaprint.com to order these. The reason is they are inexpensive; they have templates for almost every profession (you can also design your own postcard from scratch); and they offer some of the best prices around. They also deliver promptly and the quality of the work can't be beat. The more you order, the more you save.

    NOTE: There are many postcard printing sites on the web. Do your own research and find one you like.

    Postcards are a cheap, effective marketing tool. If you are a regular reader of any of my small business articles, then you know I advocate using methods of advertising you can afford to repeat. As most clients have to see your message 7 to 28 times before they will call, postcard marketing is an easy and effective way to reach out to new clients and stay in touch with existing ones.

    2. E-mail Marketing: ConstantContact.com. For as little as $15 month, you can send as many email campaigns as you want. Here again, there are pre-designed templates that make your message look professional (or you can have a template designed for your company for a one-time fee of a few hundred dollars).

    Change Stinks or Does It?
    This morning as I walked the two miles around a neighborhood lake, I noticed that the leaves have begun to change and I marveled at the consistency of nature’s changing schedule. I realized that change is constant. There is always something changing in our lives.Some changes have more of a life impact than others: changing a hair style, a career path, a vehicle, a marriage. So if change is constant, what we have to examine is how we respon

    Craftsmanship: the Meaning of Life
    "Manage more, supervise less." - Bryce's LawWhen I got into the work force back in the mid-1970's it seemed everyone dressed in a suit and tie, drank black coffee, smoked their brains out, and worked their butts off. Today, golf shirts have replaced suits, herbal tea and bottled water have replaced coffee, nobody is allowed to smoke, and rarely does anyone work beyond 5:00pm. More importantly, we used to care about the work w

    Who Took My Million Dollar Job?
    It is obvious that many people go to colleges, universities get their degrees and thought that life is going to be good and the future is going to be great. It is after struggling to find a job for months do they realise that it is not as straight forward as it seems. You might be a graduate from MIT or even Harvard but if you don't have a good resume, it will kill you.You have invested in yourself by spending tens of thousands of dollars to g

    Boat Cleaning Business - Bilge Clean-up Tips
    These areas, like any other car engine and compartment that you may come across, can either be very clean, or be extremely greasy, dirty and grimy. Remember to mention the difficulty in locating fuel, oil or water leaks on a dirty leaky bilge. You will need to take extreme caution when doing in the bilge area as there are extra switches and wiring, like you might find underneath in a car engine. It's critical to avoid damaging any of these as they ar

    Going away on vacation? No problem. You can set up your campaign to be delivered any date or time you want - a day, week, or month from now.

    For my money, the most useful tool this company has is the ability to compile a subscriber list. All you have to do is copy/paste a bit of HTML code where you want your sign-up box to go, and voila! - visitors to your site can sign up quickly and easily. Compiling a subscriber list allows you to stay in "constant contact" with clients, which leads to more sales over time. You can send a monthly newsletter, special deals and discounts, timely articles - the possibilities are endless.

    Tip: Staying in touch with clients keeps your business top of mind. But, don't oversell to your list. What I mean is, always keep your customer's interests top of mind. Instead of a sales pitch, send an informative newsletter, a timely article, a thank you when it's NOT the holiday season. Your efforts will pay off handsomely over time.

    3. Article Distribution: There are a myriad of sites on the web where you can submit your articles free for distribution, eg, AssociatedContent.com. Some I utilize often are IdeaMarketers.com, EzineArticles.com and ArticleCity.com, among others.
