Atricle Dump - Marketing - The Never Ending Story
Engineering is a highly technical field, and all engineers should undertake structured professional development in order to maintain their personal and professional expertise. Many professional development institutes encourage and enable engineers to remain professionally competent through proper advice, guidance and support services.Although professional development programs for engineers might concentrate on one skill set, it is advisable to choose a program that gives a broader perspective and promotes self-managed lifelong professional deve
If you think of your virtual business as being an integral part of your bricks and mortar business, it makes sense to work on it. It should receive the same attention to grow and evolve. Think of it as a pipeline to deliver qualified prospects or as an opportunity to create another, not so hands on, income stream that comple
Do you have an unreasonable boss? An unreasonable client? (An unreasonable spouse :) )If you do, here's an approach for responding when they make unreasonable demands of you.It's actually based on some advice I recently gave to a good friend of mine.Basically, my friend is a C-level manager with a growing company, who reports directly to the CEO.Now this CEO happens to habitually make unreasonable -- in fact, outlandish -- demands of his people. And true to form, he recently asked my friend to (in my friend's words) "fly to
They consider the proposal and say to go ahead. They also ask, “So is that all I have to do? Am I done then?”
Then the resistance factor takes over. Websites are something they don’t understand, can’t do themselves, but think they need, and consider just another expense. It’s like having a tooth pulled…they just want to get it over with.
There is so much hype from people that have something to sell that will “revolutionize your business” or “allow you to make money easily without working for it”. They imply, if they don’t say outright, that you put up a site and immediately started raking in the money, the leads, the sales. It does happen sometimes. BUT do you want to depend on luck? It can take up to 2 months for the search engines to discover your site and if you have broken any of the cardinal rules in the content or technical end of your site, they might not be back. Then again, just because people find your site, doesn’t mean they are interested in buying what you have to sell.

Q: I just discovered that for the past six months I have been billing a client half of what I should have been. Should I just include the total of the past due balance on his next bill or contact him first to let him know that it's coming? This client has been difficult in the past, so I'd rather not deal with him until I absolutely have to. My partner, on the other hand, thinks we should call the client and let him know what's going on before sending the bill. What do you think? -- Louis K.A: I think your partner is right. If you think this c

"How did it get to this point? Why am I working, working, working with my head down in my business and feeling as though I don't have a moment to think ahead?"You probably started your own business to have freedom of choice, to have freedom to create and to have freedom to have limitless income without the constraints of a salary.You may have left a J.O.B. and now you are feeling as though you are once again at a J.O.B. with your worst boss ever...YOU!Generally, businesses are started by someone who has a particular skill.

If you're just getting started, what do you need to know about the business aspects of being their own boss? It really boils down to two very straightforward things. You need to have some basic business skills and knowledge and you need the motivation to become a computer consultant.MotivationYou have to really want to become a computer consultant badly. Think about anything you’ve ever really achieved in life. Whether it’s graduating from school or passing a test. Maybe it was getting your driver’s license, getting married, maybe buying

Think of it as a pipeline to deliver qualified prospects or as an opportunity to create another, not so hands on, income stream that completes sales electronically. It’s a chance to reach clients who may not be attracted to your more traditional marketing and advertising.
Plan to either pay someone to work on your site on a regular basis or have your site designed with a content manager so you can easily update the site yourself. If you have to hire someone to make every little change, are you going to do it? Decide what you want to call each page of your site. Write each name on a separate piece of paper and lay each out on the floor so you can see if the navigation of the site makes sense. There is a good reason that most sites are laid out with similar navigation. It works; so don’t try to redesign the wheel.
The area of your site that fits in your browser without scrolling is the most important part of your site so put what’s most important to your customers in that space.
Less is more, especially with website copy. People scan websites so consider that when writing and designing the layout of your copy. If you can’t tell visitors everything, at least tell them the things that are going to persuade them you can solve their problem.
One topic on one page. On a website there is no one door to access your business, there are as many entrances as you have pages. Help the search engines figure out what each page is about by being as specifically focused as possible in the content of each page.
