Why should you outsource?
Well, imagine this.
You’re enjoying a sunny lunch outside with a friend, laughing, sipping a coffee. You’re smiling because your work is still getting done. You’ve outsourced! Why hadn’t you thought of this AGES ago?
My Top 10 Favourite WordPress Plugins
This post is for those who don’t know what a plugin for WordPress is.
If you’ve read my post “WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org, you probably noticed I mentioned “plugins”.
What are plugins?
Plugins are little “apps” that you install on your web hosting server, after you’ve installed WordPress. These beauties can do just about anything, from blocking spam in your blog/website comments, to adding a contact form to your site. While some changes are bigger than others, you will definitely notice them, since they all add to the look and feel of your WordPress website.
It needs to be said, though… go easy on the number of plugins you install. Installing too many plugins will slow your entire site down, and you don’t want that. If your site is too slow, people won’t wait for everything to load. They’ll move on.
Here are my 10 favourite plugins to use:
Tools I Use To Stay Organized
Stressed business owners can use all the help they can get when it comes to staying organized, and I know this from personal experience. Here’s what I use to stay on track, maybe these tips can help you.
- Google Calendar – The features I love about this tool: you can colour-coordinate any reminder or task you create. It’s possible to set up NUMEROUS pop-up or email reminders. People can be added to the events just by adding their email address in. Everyone is on track, and it’s a task that only takes a few minutes a day.
Why Do Businesses Need a Website?
Do you have a website? Nowadays, when you are networking and meeting people, that’s one of the first questions they ask.
In this day and age, everything is completely different. Technology has come an incredibly long way, and web design is no exception. Now there are platforms, such as WordPress, on which to build your site. All you have to do is pick your theme, and add your photos and content.
It’s not like it used to be, where everything was done with coding. Don’t get me wrong, coding (such as HTML and CSS) are still important parts of a website, but you can get by without knowing too much about them.
Website Benefits
Businesses need to be online these days, both with social media and with a website. Businesses with a website will reach a broader audience, and that will result in more customers/clients. It tells them where they can find you and how they can buy your product or services. It will even allow businesses to communicate with their customers directly, with opt-in mailing lists and easy-to-fill forms for feedback.
