Go blog or go home!

Posted on May 26, 2008 by Tina

I got quite a nice little treat in the mail today - a copy of Sandra De Freitas’ new book Does this Blogsite Make My Wallet Look Fat?

Posted on October 4, 2007 by Tina

The reason may not be what you think it is…
Over the last 2 years, we’ve talked to over 375 business owners - they let us know there is a severe shortage of VAs with the skills they want and the skills they’re willing to pay for. 
Here’s just a sample of what they have shared […]

Ah those pesky hosting/blacklisting issues

Posted on July 19, 2007 by Tina

Received this question from Casey Truffo this morning:
Hi Tina
We had our host tell us that too many aol people had called us spammers and I ended up having to move my email stuff (Autoresponse
Plus) to another server because my current host told me that I had to delete all my aol people. (I have a […]

Am I the only person who can do this?

Posted on June 28, 2007 by Tina

Received this email the other day from Vicky White of LifeDesignStrategies.com and wanted to share:
I do really well participating in programs - get way more done than most people - and there’s a program I’m considering doing for the rest of this year which will support me in that. But what I really need is […]

Posted on June 6, 2007 by Tina

25? 100? 1000? (Yes, I do know someone with over 1000 emails in their inbox, yipes!)
If you have more than 50 emails in your inbox right now that is too many… in fact even less than 50 is ideal.

When Technology Gets in the Way…

Posted on August 2, 2006 by Tina

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people use technology just for the sake of the technology…
ie: I just went to unsubscribe myself from some email thingie I was getting, and instead of having a simple option to ‘unsubscribe’ (which is CANSPAM rules anyhow) I was lead to a website that asked for my […]

Mis-Adventures in Hosting

Posted on May 12, 2005 by Tina

Here’s another one to file under “Lessons Learned the Hard Way”.
So last week one of our hosting providers had their servers hacked. It was one of those “pesky” hacks where they switch all the index.html files to say “DEFACED BY LINUX” or something like that. So your homepages come up as such. Easily fixed by […]

How Do I Become Tech-Savvy?

Posted on April 5, 2005 by Tina

I had a coach ask me this a few weeks back…
“I want to build my website and manage my business online, so how do I become tech-savvy?”
