Posted by: | Comments
2012 is almost here! The New Year is a good time to look at new ways of doing business. But before you look forward, it is good to take a look back. Look at what areas of your business are most successful. Ask yourself questions about what is and isn’t working well for you. What classes get the best attendance? What new product lines do you want to feature?

Did you know that, every single year, getting organized makes the list of Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions?
So at the start of every January, millions of people around the world resolve that this year is the year that they will finally get organized and stay that way. But by the end of every January, many of those same people have already given up all hope of ever reaching their organizing goals.

Grateful
Posted by: | CommentsFor the last two months I’ve been working overtime offering my Holiday Helper to demonstrators to send to their customers. It’s a labor of love as I enjoy working with the demonstrator designers and I like making my customer look good. This year I’ve really put my heart and soul and a lot of hours into the campaign. Today, I received two emails that truthfully almost had me in tears.

Get Your Customers to Hit the Buy Button
Posted by: | CommentsI have had the pleasure of working with one of the top copywriters around today, Lisa Manyon of Write On ~ Creative Writing Services, LLC. I am awed by her talent to write excellent, engaging copy. What I have learned from Lisa is that writing powerful, high-converting copy means understanding exactly how to trigger just the right emotions to induce someone to want to buy your product. She has taught me that what will really make the difference is learning to write emotionally to the prospect, rather than just logically.

Create an Add to Cart PayPal Button

PayPal’s shopping cart makes it easy for website owners to process payments for multiple products.
Other shopping carts like 1ShoppingCart, ZenCart and so on require a different payment processor on the back-end, usually with a merchant account tied to a gateway like Authorize.net. That makes the setup process cumbersome and time consuming, sometimes taking months if you don’t already have a merchant account and gateway setup.

Business Case for iPad2
Posted by: | Comments
The iPad2
After months of researching, reviewing, contemplating and yes drooling…I finally purchased my iPad2 16MB WiFi. It was a difficult investment for me to make because I’m a PC girl. I already have a smart phone, a Kindle, a laptop, an iPod and a desktop computer. What on earth would I do with yet another device? Especially after I agreed to my husband that I would be more “unplugged” from work. But the darn thing is just too cool to not get it. Actually, I did make a really good business case for it.
How to Get Rid of Stik.com Application on Facebook
Posted by: | Comments
I have been bombarded by Stik.com wall posts. I find this application annoying because I would not recommend anyone unless I know them personally and if that is the case, contact me directly and I’m happy to oblige. I’m pretty picky, I don’t like any application posted from others on my wall. However, I do love just regular wall posts from friends and family, so I don’t want to restrict my wall privacy settings. If you have any involvement with this application and would like to get rid of it, here is how:

Special thanks to gal pal Jessica Eaves Mathews, America’s Advocate for Women in Business, for sharing this on her Facebook Page.
