Get ready to ditch your website for a blog site!

Office Organization Success

When I first started my business in November 2001 the ‘big’ thing back then was to get your website up.

And the problem with this system was that unless you updated your content regularly you would very quickly lose your rankings in the search engines — you se

Trade tasks. Hate baking, love to shop? Find someone among your friends and family who likes to do the opposite and trade the task you dislike.

Men With Pens

Write lots. Write often. Write every day. Write as much as you can, prolifically and continually and constantly. And if you do, they say your skills will improve.
