Sometimes an expense is an investment, and hiring a consultant can flip your business right onto Easy Street. Many business principles apply to any type of business, virtual or not, and what you learn from the expert who works for the store down the street can be just as valuable to your online storefront. But hang on a second.

But what I tell people are four scenes from the last six months that sum up what I’ve learned better than I can spell it out: Exhibit A: The High Style The man I was listening to spoke with a strong British accent. As if getting them on the phone is too expensive, like it used to be. Live and learn. Exhibit C: Too Smart Mike T.

Just a few days ago, I created a document with all the details about my online businesses — hosting, logins, passwords, regular expenses, etc. Either way, we have policies on keywording that way. Hell, when I was their age we were juggling blue carbon paper and learning to type on manual typewriters. Rolls eyes again.

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?

Look for a writer’s guidelines page. But, when a guidelines page is there make sure that you follow it to the letter. If the blog is missing a writer’s guideline page, that doesn’t necessarily mean that a blog doesn’t accept guest posts–but, it could. What guidelines do you have?

I’d like a website, but I’m having a hard time justifying the expense.&# 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. I quickly learned that I was, to paraphrase your client, doing OK, I guess.

By taking the time to write down exactly what you want to accomplish, you’re much more likely to get a good product and avoid expensive rework because of miscommunications. Could easily be modified into a set of guidelines for Freelancers. However, you’ll have a huge learning curve in doing freelancing.

So they try to be do-it-yourselfers, learning from blogs, ebooks, and other sources of free information. What we get from that expense isn’t tangible. 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).

There’s a hell of a lot to learn about setting up an online biz. After we buy the necessary software and equipment, many of us don’t even consider getting help because it’s “too expensive.&# Dave – Remember, too, that you don’t *need* to learn everything there is to run an online biz.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did. One on one consulting, seminars, meet ups are difficult to copy and expensive to hold. 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.

In most part, I had a lot of fun reading through applications and learning more about people. That said, don’t apply for internet jobs when you just came online, have no skills, no experience, but can definitely learn everything as you go along. Be a person who learns from evey experience. Kind of flattering. We have this.
