As many of you may know, I’m not a fan of using your e-mail app to manage your tasks. TextExpander works just fine with Postbox and so do popular Mac task management apps Things and OmniFocus.

A full-time writing job is a great starting point for advancing into management jobs where you can start earning real money. Answer the phone now and then. If you turn white and get all knee-wobbly at the thought of picking up the phone and introducing yourself to a prospective client, keep your day job. You sit at a desk.

You have many options: landline, cellular phone, texting, fax line (yeah, many people still fax), email, website contact form, Twitter direct message, LinkedIn message, Skype, and lots more. Yes, you have to manage your time and you can’t email all day, but don’t get so efficient that you become unreachable and aloof.

Throughout the months of phone calls, backtracking, moving forward, and backtracking again, there was a lot of confusion. Twitter,Facebook, your project manager, your to-do list app, Google Analytics, your bookkeeping software, or your email accounts? My phone plressed the return key and it submitted. A lot of hurt feelings.

People can hear confidence over the phone, through the Internet and even by watching you sit on the bus with a newspaper. That’s why you’re supposed to wear a tie and stand up even when you’re doing a phone interview. But if you are going to fake it until you make it, you may want to invest in some theater skills.

The next time you get an email that seems to be a thinly veiled jab – or even an outright insult – to you or your work, take a deep breath, wait a bit, and write back a quick email that asks if you can discuss this either via online chat or over the phone the next day. Be friendly. Act as though nothing is wrong.

Having said that, there are some mums who do manage to run a profitable business from home while looking after the kids. But when we do biz online we don’t have those clues, so just start typing or pick up the phone. A sign on the door stating the hours. A locked door after hours. We are all guilty of this to some degree.

I have found many clients – business owners and marketing managers alike – can be very sketchy on marketing fundamentals such as target markets, calls to action, uniqueness, offers, etc. BTW this is also a great way to capture the client’s tone and voice.)
