Are You An Octopus Freelancer?
2007-11-12 19:20:00
As a freelancer, you might feel as if you need to attend to every project at once. Sometimes it is easy to prioritize and other times it is more difficult due to tight deadlines.Each morning, it is critical to plan ahead for your day. Pour that morning cup of coffee and take a moment to make a task list. This helps you to get your daily chores done and hopefully leave a little time for your own interests.Start out with the jobs that require daily maintenance. If you have blog posts to do, get them done early. Write your articles while you are still fresh in the morning. Go down your list for the day until each task is completed.After your "have to do list" is finished, you can now get to the rest of your freelance day. This usually consists of browsing freelance job listings, following up with clients, tweaking websites, adding new keywords and so on.The thing I love the most about freelance work is that you never know what a new day will bring. I love completing each task and knowi...

Effective Affiliate Marketing
2007-11-03 15:08:00
From Shakadoo.com:November 03, 2007 Effective Affiliate Marketing I have been involved in affiliate marketing for quite awhile now. Looking back on my affiliate journey, I consider most of it a learning experience.One mistake I made was to get involved with too many programs. The reason I feel this is a mistake is that your marketing gets spread too thin. Your advertising efforts are not as effective when they are not completely focused. Like so many other people, I tried to sell the "work from home" idea. Phrases like "The Best Work From Home Business" or "Join Free And Earn Money From Home" were part of my daily advertising. I was able to get a lot of people to join my downlists and become a part of my team. So, why didn't it work? Practically everyone that joined my downline did absolutely nothing with the program. The excitement of seeing a new sign-up changed to indifference. I am sure this type of affiliate marketing works great for some people, but I quickly discovered it was...

Many neighborhoods shut down the entrance to their development. That is a great way to keep cars off of the road while the trick or treaters are out. What are some other precautions to take to ensure a safe Halloween? NSC.org has a great list of Halloween safety advice. Here are just a few of those tips: "Before children start out on their "trick or treat" rounds, parents should:Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for children under age 12.

Immediately I realized just how lucky I am to be working from home.I used to hate those mornings where I had to decide if I should take the risk and drive to work in the snow.

Hopefully most of us are aware of the obvious scams like the Nigerian emails and the lottery notifications. Sometimes though it is not as easy to determine if a job offer through a received email is legitimate or not. I have received several job offers through email that seemed real. They had a real company's name and did not ask for any upfront fees. I was tempted to apply for the job as the email suggested. Being on the cautious side, I decided to do an Internet search first on the company and the contents of the email. Not surprisingly, these job offers were sent out to thousands of other people and had been reported as bogus offers. These people were out ...
