Hi Scott: I read your article in EntreprenuerNewz and was wondering about a few things… We have a small company that started about a year ago. We released our service about a month ago and have had great response and signups for the amount of advertising that we have done (very very little).
Question has come up for us wether it would be wise to get some venture capital to help increase the growth rate of our business.
Question: I am the webmaster for West Salem High School, additionally I run my own web design company (thus my subscription to DevWebPro). I read your article on the importance of underlining links and keeping them blue.
I will start of by admitting that I am one of those people who sometimes takes design and puts it in front of purpose. I try to check myself on that and ensure that visitors to my sites have navigation that doesn’t change throughout the website, but I do not stick with blue, underlined links.
Putting out a newsletter is kind of like flossing your teeth. You know you should, but it sure is easy to put off. I’m hoping these six reasons will motivate you to give it a try. You’ll find that once you make the commitment, it’s really not all that hard to do.
Far too many people make the mistake of trying to sell only products that they like on their web sites. Others make the mistake of trying to sell only the coolest and flashiest things they can find.
The whole point of starting an Ecommerce web site is to make money. That’s something you must not lose sight of (no pun intended!).
Tablet PCs are powerful, light-weight, portable computers that combine many of the features of a standard laptop with those of a personal digital assistant like a Palm handheld. While Tablet PCs are often seen as fancy tools for doctors, lawyers, and other high-paid information workers, one of their best uses is a low-tech activity that almost everyone does – taking notes. While at first, it sounds crazy to replace pencil and paper with a comparatively expensive, heavy, fragile, battery-powered Tablet PC, it really isn’t.
I will never forget the day one of my tax clients came to pick up his personal income tax return.
“How’s it look?” he asked.
“Well,” I said, “You’re getting a refund.”
At least once per week I get this question. It’s not an easy one to answer. If you are just starting out, getting visitors to your site is a BIG priority. Sometimes a little cash can really grease the wheels.
The Tablet PCs are finally here. We’ve been hearing about them for years–small, light (some weigh less than 3 pounds) computers that you can write on as if they were a pad of paper or a personal digital assistant. These tiny powerhouses run a version of Windows XP, so you can use them like high-end notebook computers and run all your favorite applications. But you can also use them like virtually endless digital notebooks or sketchbooks, entering information with a special pen in environments where a desktop or notebook computer just won’t cut it. You can even talk to them.
In the past, only the largest companies could make outsourcing a profitable venture. For the small businessperson, the costs of outsourcing outweighed the benefits. That is all changing. With the improvements in communications and the globalization of society, every business now has the ability to make outsourcing an extremely valuable option.
