From out of the blue comes a writing offer

by

I’m feeling out of sorts and kind of confused today. I’ve been trying my hardest to catch up on built up work, and to secure more internet/blog related work all day while fending off email!

I just received acceptance into BlogCritics but for the life of me, I don’t remember ever applying to be a writer there. It’s definitely an honor to be accepted, but the email kind of hit me from behind!

Actually I just got word back from Eric at Blogcritics and he was responding to a request that was actually written by my husband. You see, since I have more blogs than my husband I put him on promo duty a little while ago and he’s been working to get our sites listed in the various blog and RSS feed directories for the past month or so. I find lists of directories and put him on the job.

Well, it turns out BlogCritics was on one of the lists that I found and assigned to him and he wrote to the owner of the site hoping to get our blogs listed. He didn’t realize that he was applying for ME to become a writer/contributer there!

Well … they sound interested in having me do some writing over there so I might as well give it a try!

Kind of strange how that came about isn’t it? Well at least I know I didn’t apply and forget about it. It was my husband!




Leave me a question – help me build the How-To section

by

Those of you reading this site regularly likely know that I’m working on a nice little help section.

If you have a blogging or website related problem or question that you’d like me to attempt to answer I’d appreciate it if you left me a comment in this post.

I certainly don’t know everything, but I’ve been quite successful in my work on the internet over the last 17 years and I think I’ve got enough experience under my belt that I can tackle quite a few of the questions you might throw at me.

I want to build my How-To section and your questions will help me do that. Leave me a great question and if I answer it I’ll link back to your site in my posted reply.

New Partnership program with Successful Office

by

If you have a small business that could benefit from a call center or answering service you should visit the Successful Office website and take a look at the various services that they offer.

Using a call center or answering service can give your business the appearance of having perhaps a larger office/business than you currently do, and of course, your clients will likely feel that they your company has great customer service if they can actually leave a message with a person rather than an answering machine when they call to make a purchase or ask a question about your business.

Successful Office also has an opportunity page for posters that proposes that small business may exchange their time for the services offered by Successful Office. As I understand it a blogger or a small business owner who is familiar with social bookmarking sites such as del.icious, digg, reddit, and stumbleupon can spend some time promoting the services of Successful Office in exchange for some of the benefits of their call answer service. Which means that if you need a call answer service but don’t really have the money to pay for such a service you can barter your own services in exchange for their services.

The opportunity page describes a few different ways to partner with Successful Office in order to either make money through their reseller program or to exchange services through their bartering program. Check it out.
