In December, it is traditionally a slow time for us as PrinterBees. It seems the normal online printing business we usually enjoy, appreciate and are so thankful for comes to an abrupt halt during the holiday season. It’s a trend we now recognize, but what to do, what to do, what to do. I [...]

You know you’ve had a rough day when the pain of having your muscles stretched as far as they can possibly be stretched feels better than just sitting with the constant muscle pain. I have been stretching my shoulders, back and arms all day and it does little to help. It’s like a muscle spasm [...]

Are you one hard drive crash away from disaster…don’t say I didn’t warn you

Nadine — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:04:56 +0000

I’ll keep this short and sweet. I have had hard drives crash before, I have lost data like family photos and baby pictures. It’s like missing chapters of my life. I have learned my lesson the hard way and had to let go of those memories because I wasn’t about to spend what could have [...]

The best way to engage anyone is to ask them questions about themselves. Most people have one favorite subject in common and that subject matter is “me…me…me…me…me…me”. Isn’t that your favorite subject? I was fortunate to have one of the companies I worked for early in my career force me to go to what I [...]

Sample blogs or are they HTML websites?

Nadine — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:20:33 +0000

To help give some ideas on the structure of a blog, I have a couple to point out that may not look like blogs, even though they are. A blog can be set up to look like a blog or to have the look and feel of a website. These websites are actually blogs, built [...]

Nadine — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:32:54 +0000

If you have a Word Press blog, which is the platform for this particular blog, you may be excluding your blog from the Google Index without even realizing it. Two of my clients were being excluded and I was left puzzled and questioning what I KNEW to be true. Goes to show that you learn [...]

Blog Marketing – why blogging IS marketing

Nadine — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:25:42 +0000

I recently came across a situation where one of my clients was told by his business consultant that his blog was for one purpose only. To educate people and share good information. My client was told that his blog should not be used for “marketing purposes” and I tend to disagree. If your blog isn’t [...]
