    Recently, I attended a conference given at my local Chamber of Commerce. It was entitled, How to Bring Your Business to the Next Level. The reason I mention it is that the speaker covered several points that tie in with the 3 most common mistakes freelancers make, outlined below.

    Advertising's Two Important Virtue
    You have complete control. Unlike public relations efforts, you have final word in determining where, when and how often your message will appear, how it will look and what it will say. You can target your audience more readily (working mothers, new home purchasers, small truck owners) and aim at very specific geographic areas. You can be consistent through advertising that presents your company's image and sales message over time to build awareness and trust. Similar to McDonald's golden arches, a distinctive identity can eventually become clearly associated with your com

    Plumbing Courses for a Lucrative Trade
    Why is it that academics the world over are trading in their old profession and training to become plumbers? It is a phenomenon that can be seen all over the world as plumbing is becoming a lucrative trade in most countries.
