While training for competition, I learned many valuable lessons (beyond the kind that made sure you didn’t canter off to your death). You just carried out a useless action that cost you the whole win. We can only learn from our mistakes, and move ahead. Even if you fall – hard – you learn from that experience.

It only takes a few seconds to curse under your breath and fix the little ones, sure, but those wasted moments add up to big costs over the year. And you might make a big mistake one day that costs you a lot, like deleting a critical file by accident. Sleep is *extremely* important – I learned that the hard way indeed!

Later they learned that in Africa illiteracy is high, so companies put pictures on the product labels to show what’s inside. Recover from mistakes and learn from them. What separates good writers from great writers is that great writers learn from mistakes and become greater. Baby food” took on a startling new meaning.

April 2, 2010 at 7:01 pm The only thing I’d caution readers on (and I learned this the hard way) is that you need to make sure you take advantage of paid work whenever it’s available; marketing is great, but don’t spend all hours marketing and not making immediate revenue.

There are other, more effective, time-efficient, cost-reduced ways of achieving everything a blog can provide. Have you considered if your own blog is cost effective? If we don’t learn how to use it and make it grow, there are plenty of people out there who would love us to part with it for their benefit.

I give them time and attention because I do learn things that I can make valuable for my situation, but I wouldn’t pay (for instance) for advice on being a professional blogger when I have no ambitions in that direction. Experts tell us we learn in spirals, NOT in straight lines. If the blog is marketing or just for fun, sure.

Listening to Experts is Expensive When new business owners believe faulty information they find on the web, it costs them a great deal. Unlike the person who seems mentally permalinked to 1994, I’m constantly learning new things at a tremendous pace, mostly just because I love it. What are the learning lessons?

We live in a world of rising costs, and almost everyone expects prices to go up a little each year. Rising costs happen with taxes, with utilities, with groceries, with gasoline, with books, with everything, so most people aren’t going to be particularly surprised that your rates increase as well. Like clockwork.

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. Could easily be modified into a set of guidelines for Freelancers. Let freelancers do their job. 6) Thank them. .&#

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did. Zero marginal cost products will approach zero in price over time. Solomon – I feel that being able to discuss, talk and look at all sides of the coin is a gift, and yet so many people ignore the opportunity to ask questions, go deeper and learn more.

Sometimes I think it is easier and more cost effective for a company to outsource blog articles and ensure the standard is kept high.

There’s a hell of a lot to learn about setting up an online biz. You know, freelancing is one of those businesses where the cost of entry is usually so low (compared to traditional businesses) that we tend to develop a penny-pinching mindset right out of the gate.

I know whenever I’m looking to hire somebody for contract work or to share in projects I’m taking on I always check their website to learn more about them. The more money it costs the more stable you look. I quickly learned that I was, to paraphrase your client, doing OK, I guess. Thanks for sharing.

So they try to be do-it-yourselfers, learning from blogs, ebooks, and other sources of free information. Those screw-ups cost you money. I usually look at the person’s free stuff first, look at where they are in their own business (I only want to learn from people who are where I want to be). Does it “feel&# right?

And you’ll learn why right here in this valuable interview with a pro copywriter. Like when I wrote a direct mail package for a Rodale frugal gardening book and came up with the headline: “Grow Twice the Garden for Half the Cost.” All these things can be a little helpful, I suppose, but ultimately you learn to write by writing.

We’re the early adopters of blogging, shaping it and changing it as we learn about its potential. Many bloggers can feel the high only for so long before they wonder whether it’s worth all the time, money, energy, opportunity cost and ccommitment.

That’s like being able to attend a workshop given by an expert authority three times a week and learn how to improve your business without paying a penny. We want you to learn, to better your business, to succeed. Businesspeople understand investment, as opposed to cost. Prices always tend towards marginal costs.

Many people take advantage of that openness on another level, which is to say we’ve all had trouble with copyright law and keeping our work our own. How do you deal with copyright infringements and people stealing your work? I do want to learn more about what you mean with offshore work… expand? It’s funny.
