Here’s a tip: make a 48-hour waiting period the standard policy in your business for all incoming requests. The bonus of a 48-hour policy is that your schedule is smoothly planned out in a way that lets you pay attention to all your clients so that each person gets the best of you. No more dropping work to put out fires.

The cost of everything else in our lives is going up and up, but we expect bloggers to sacrifice hours every week or every day to provide us content for free? Pay for the blogging course, or the forum, or the e-book that puts 50 posts about social media in one place, with some bonus content? Powered by frugal

Listening to Experts is Expensive When new business owners believe faulty information they find on the web, it costs them a great deal. Every business owner should put all his energy into social media and making sure people like him. He buys courses in how to use social media because he thinks clients must like him.

I started a thread on LinkedIn last week asking, What is the best answer to the question How do you measure ROI from social media? I was quite surprised to get back a slightly patronising answer that explained I needed to understand that social media was social. Always fun to take a stand!

I have a Web site, a blog, a few social media profiles and clearly recognize the value of all these tools. Some of the most brilliant and successful professionals I know are nowhere to be found on the Net: no Web site, no social media profile, no Skype account, nothing. The more money it costs the more stable you look.

Alasdair McGregor: how to write non-fiction well Reply poch January 4, 2010 at 6:23 am This post reminded me of a wise advice from a site: Anticipate and watch social media trends. Zero marginal cost products will approach zero in price over time. Maybe that’s a social media trend in itself…?)

It might cost a bit more but it tells freelancers you believe in their great work and you believe in them. Everyone wins, and it’s a simple, zero-cost, low-effort gesture that makes all involved feel good. Use social media. Let freelancers do their job. Trust freelancers to see the project through. 6) Thank them.
