This is a guest post by the lovely Jill Shearer. Since I am a somewhat guilty fan of many reality TV shows (So You Think You Can Dance ROCKS dammit!) I thought this post was a perfect fit for BGB. (Hey, ain’t no shame in my game, how about you?) Reality TV, business lessons and entertainment, oh my! Read it and like it BGB’ers, and then tell me all about it in the comments below. 😉...
This is a guest post by Danny Iny. We all have our moments of feeling overwhelmed, snowed under, and buried in feelings of stress and dissatisfaction with our daily performance. It’s normal and probably even a right of passage for entrepreneurs. But there are ways to bust out of the rut and get back on track. Danny shares his ideas below, and be sure to check out my take on this issue at...
This is a guest post from Aimee, on a subject near and dear to my heart since it’s something I struggle with all the time. Productivity and staying on task can be the bane of an entrepreneurs existence… when you work for yourself it can be HARD to stay disciplined enough to get your work done and keep your priorities straight. And I don’t know about you, but when I feel...
OK, so. When it comes to running your own small business, many people tend to think of “freelancing” as a dirty word. Personally, I really don’t see the difference. Small business, freelance business, entrepreneurship… they all mean the same thing to me, and that is- YOU WORK FOR YOURSELF! Get it? You and you alone are the Big Kahuna, you call the shots, you run the day...
This is a guest post from Cale on 8 different ways you can promote your online brand that are slightly left field from the traditional route. I especially like the idea of sponsoring a UFC fighter! How about you? Let us know in the comments section below. 🙂 I’ve seen endless articles on how to write, promote and improve websites and frankly I am sick of it – it’s been done to death. I want...
This is another guest post by Chris Hoole on the merits of blogging, when done in the right way. Make him feel welcome by dropping any questions or thoughts in the comment area below this post. 🙂 Ah, the fresh invigorating virtual air of the blogo-shpere; the Internet equivalent of a walk in the country. Or is it? Blogging, like any other Internet phenomenon began life as innocent past-time...
This is a guest post by a gal named Breanna. This post is a bit shorter than what I’d normally run here on BGB but I found the message to be so inline with what I’m always a’ preachin’ and sheesh… she uses Alice and Wonderland as a reference! Who doesn’t love THAT? So short and sweet it it! When you’re done, I’d love to know how you’re doing...
This is a guest post by Chris Hoole. I wanted to publish this piece for a couple reasons. First and foremost, like Chris I am appalled at times at the quality of the web copy found on some sites. It’s nothing but poor, regurgitated garbage, broken English, and not fit for human consumption. Pretty much as far from brilliant writing as you can wander really. Now that’s not to say...
(And yes I am FULLY aware gigaprofits is not a real word. I think. Lol) There are lots of ways to assess the success of your blog and many different site analytics you can use to determine where your blog or website is actually ranking in the blogosphere. And I’ll tell ya… numbers are nice and if the search engines and site analytics are throwing you lots of love, then all the better for...
No it’s not taking up hooking as a hobby. 😉 I swear! However, if your business is currently floundering, it could be you need to take a look at how much effort you putting into networking. Successful business 101, who you know could be your next big lead to your next big project. Ally has put together a great starter on what it takes to network effectively. If you have questions or...
