Ah yes, Elance…

Posted on July 3, 2009 by Tina

I was reminded this week how great a resource Elance is – we needed someone to do some fast turnaround graphics for us, and as always we got a really good response to our posting and found an excellent designer who did a great job.
It had been a really long time since i’d used Elance to find [...]

Why I love Wishlist Member

Posted on May 21, 2009 by Tina

 
A sure sign of being a geek is when finding a new system just makes you want to sing out loud in glee! I will admit that I am a geek, and have recently ’sung out loud’ about the (relatively) new membership management system Wishlist Member.
We’ve been using Wordpress to manage our membership sites for [...]

for all the mompreneurs in the crowd…

On Monday I had the pleasure of being interviewed for the Savvy Momprenuer Telesummit.

I had someone ask me yesterday if I preferred Go Daddy vs. another domain registrar (whom I shan’t name). My answer was Go Daddy for sure! I have a few key reasons for this that I wanted to share, in case you are considering where to register your domains (or maybe thinking of moving to [...]

Setting Up Your ‘I’m Away’ Email

Posted on January 23, 2009 by Tina

This is a slight pet peeve of mine, so forgive me if I come across a bit ranty.
I get so annoyed when I continue to receive the same ‘I’m out of the office’ or ‘I’m checking email twice a day’ email every time I send a message to certain people. It becomes just one more [...]

If you’ve ever wanted to start a group, membership or association…

You *need* to grab a copy of Sheri McConnell’s Create your Group program.
Those who know me know that I very rarely recommend things for purchase… for the simple fact that i’m quite picky myself! (who me? picky? just ask my husband, haha). There are LOADS of programs, systems, products, classes and various other offerings out [...]
