In Marketing, Specific is Terrific

Recently I’ve received a number of emails promoting software designed to make posting to Pinterest easier. Using social media can be effective and since it is usually free it can be incredibly tempting. But I’ve never found it as easy as some sales pages would have you believe.

Keep Calm and Use the Undo Button

I can’t recall the number of times I’ve typed something that I’ve immediately wanted to remove or accidentally deleted something. At this point the next wrong keystroke may have meant disaster. Luckily I’ve learnt to keep calm and use the undo button. Not only as an action, but also as a principle to follow when…

Are You Wasting Domain Names?

When you see a new opportunity do you rush to buy a relevant domain name? What do you do then? Many people record the domain details and put it aside until they can find time to put the website together. There’s a lot to organise: content, graphics and so on and you don’t want to…
