Joomla, Drupal, Magneto, VirtuMart, Infusion Soft, AWeber And Other Things I Don’t Use
OK, I have been seeing many people including clients that are using products that I really do not care for and dislike using. Mostly because they are a pain in the ass to use, are outdated, don’t work well, are expensive, or will help them lose money. And if you really hit the jackpot, some of these products all of the aforementioned things.
I just happened to pick the names out that I see most bandied about as the greatest thing since sliced white bread and the ones that my clients seem to have the most trouble with and that ones that I hate to work on these days. The people that say they are great is because they usually have a vested interest or they don’t know any better. But I am willing to be convinced otherwise. But, it is going to take a lot, and I do mean A LOT of convincing.

How To Record Interviews For Transcription
We get in dozens of MP3 files a day for transcription at www.YakWrite.com . Many of them are interviews or two people talking. Unfortunately, the quality on most is not up to par and frankly, they are a pain in the butt to transcribe sometimes.
Using transcription is the easiest and fastest way I know of to produce content for your Muse if you are a follower of The 4 Hour Workweek.
So, here is the solution that I like to use the most. Go snag Skype by clicking here , it is a free service and then go grab the add on for it called Pamela. Once you have installed, simply go to Tools and then click on Get Extras. You can use Skype to call anyone in the world that also has Skype for FREE. And then you record the conversation using Pamela.
It is Super Duper Easy and it works great!
You will sound better, and we will be able to understand you. Plus, you can then post them to your blog or otherwise.
Do this for yourself and us.
Cheers,

Virtual Assistants – How To Use Them To Make A Lot More Money Or At Least Survive
If you are like many small businesses or individual Entrepreneurs out there, you are probably looking at ways to make more money or at least cut costs and increase productivity. Perhaps right now you are just looking for ways to survive and keep you and your business a float.
Outsourcing and using Virtual Assistants can be a key component to not just bringing more profit to your business, but in this new world economy, surviving and staying in business.
With more and more city, state, and federal regulations, taxes, and increased costs of benefits, and insurance, hiring a new employee is an expensive, time consuming, and outright scary undertaking these days. Plus let’s face it, It is a big pain in the butt most of the time as well.
The economy and the Government are making it harder and harder to succeed and both are treating businesses like Red Headed step-children and abusing them every time you turn around.
Small businesses with fewer than 20 employees spend an average of $10,585 per employee to comply with federal regulations. That’s $2,830, more, per employee, than it costs larger firms.
Now if that does not say it all, I don’t know what does.
Business And Personal Life, How To Mix The Two And Profit Out The Wazooo!
“Concentrating On Too Many Things Gets Nothing Done…”
No, not an ancient Chinese Proverb, just an Andrew Anderson one.
This axiom has been said in many different ways and no matter which way it is said, it is still true. It does not matter if we are talking your Business, the latest project, or even dating.
Not concentrating on one thing and getting it completed or at least to the next level will in the end more than likely spell disaster almost every single time.
While I know this and operate this way almost always in my business life, sometimes I still slip and I also have to ride hard on the people that I work with at times as well.
Companies That Offer Great Customer Service And Those That Do Not Exist Anymore…
Want to know why in the very near future there are going to be companies that offer Great customer service and those that do not exist anymore?
For those of you that know the answer, it is easy and for those of you that do not, you really need to pay attention here.
It is simple. The answer is just two words, Social Media…
Because of Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites out there, good news and bad news is going to not only travel fast, but in volumes and with ease like has never been seen before other than perhaps when our grandparents lived in small towns and everyone knew what was going on almost immediately.
