It was expensive,but when I brought it home I had to do all the work to get it up and running. I could see him looking after himself, trying to organise his diary and all his emails etc, and he wasn't sure what to give me.

But it got me to thinking that no matter how many "rules" I provide about networking and resumes and other stuff, there are always those tricky little things that can trip you up if no one tells you. You dont have to have an expensive satchel, but get one that is clean and streamlined. You want to look like youre headed to a job.

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.

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?

You should not be putting your head down, encoding or checking email or whatever. Logistically, it can be difficult, if not impossible, certainly expensive and time consuming to turn a commercial building into a residential one.
