Listening to Experts is Expensive When new business owners believe faulty information they find on the web, it costs them a great deal. It didn’t work at all as described and I emailed him to ask “did you actually use this or are you just selling it for the affiliate income?&# Peter Masters´s last blog.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of emailing off four, five, or more guest posts quickly and then expecting to see your work on the blog of your choice the very next day. If in doubt, a polite email to the site owner may be in order. It’s perfectly acceptable to email your contact and ask about the status of your post.

One friend refers you to someone who only has an email address, a generic address like annepottertherapist@mail.com. Would you search online for Anne Potter before writing her an email? Compounding the problem was the president giving me an @comcast.net email address. It’s too expensive.&# Stacy – YES!

I’d like a website, but I’m having a hard time justifying the expense.&# Something doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive, but I believe it has to *look* like it was done to quality standards for that perception of “expensive&# – which many people equate to grounded, established business.

What we get from that expense isn’t tangible. Some experts may want to tune in and adjust your strategy now and then, or check in to see how you’re doing and where they could suggest tweaks that create even more impact, but even that doesn’t need to be a monthly expense. It doesn’t sound appealing.

One on one consulting, seminars, meet ups are difficult to copy and expensive to hold. The first ebook is expensive to produce but that is a fixed cost, not marginal cost. At first it was expensive and there was little interest in it. Real contact with real humans will always be valuable. That is where the future will be.

Once that’s up and running a blog gives an extra insight into the website, but shouldn’t be at the expense of quality on the main site. Heather p.s.

Do I write routinely about Policy and Management or about Labor Relations? Sonya – I do have to admit that most people who email me their resume and quote an English degree tend to have some of the worst writing in the world… Not sure why that is, actually. Wish I knew. I’d really appreciate it, seriously.

Like, say, emailing us to ask if this is the right email to email us at, when the email you should use to apply is written on the job ad. When the job ad says email us with information and samples, don’t tweet us and say, “Just click here.&# Someone wrote an email to “Mr. Bangamon.&#

When their readers don’t actually know what they do, because they never visit the site, they simply open Google Reader or their email for the RSS feed.
