When you own a business, being able to communicate with your clients is important to create a working relationship between you and your clients. With my business, I am always keeping in touch with my clients via email. When you have a large business, there will be times when you need more than just email to communicate with your clients. I was looking today at the Mavenlink website. If you have never heard of it, Mavelink is a company that has a program that allows companies to communicate with their clients with a user-friendly platform.

Mavenlink has a proven record with an excellent technology platform that helps you with the communication needs between you and your client. I only see this program getting better in the future with all the fast growing technology. If you are looking for an application or tool that will help your business, you should look at the different accounts that are available that you can sign up for. They currently offer 3 different accounts that each come with a free trial and no credit card required.

Why not give it a try, it is RISK FREE!

WordPress Stats Plugin

March 8, 2010 by Leave a Comment

I have over a dozen blogs. Some of my blogs are within another domain so I don’t have stats just for the blog like I have wanted until now. I did not know how easy it was to install the WordPress Stats Plugin. I installed it on one of my blogs a couple days ago and within hours I had stats coming in.

If you have a self hosted WordPress blog and want some stats, try using the plugin at:

Example screenshot taken from WordPress site:

You basically upload the plugin, activate it and input your WordPress API key. Easy as pie!

Enjoy

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love books that are about stories from the heart. The video below is about a book called Raising a Father that is written by a father who seen his flaws at parenting. This father realized that he was spending too much time at work which was damaging the relationship with his daughter. In this book, the author shares his real true stories about leaving the corporate world. He leaves his job to start a home based business which enables him to spend time with his daughter. This story is really inspiring because I too left the corporate world to run my own business from home to spend time with my family. [Read more...]

A Fun Free Graphics Program

March 7, 2010 by 1 Comment

Since I am a frugal person who saves money, I use “free graphic programs” rather then shelling out a ton of money buying one. The internet has quite a few FREE programs out there to edit and create images that are just as good as the programs you can buy.

I have heard lots of other moms talking about the program Picnik. This is a free graphics editor that is fun to use. It has a bunch of neat effects and fonts to use with your photos. What makes this program even better is you don’t have to download anything. You can create and edit your images online, without even creating an account. Of course you can create a FREE account or go with their Premium service that gives you more options. I went online this morning and looked for different tutorials for this program and found a fun one called Picknik Hair Color Fun. I just had to try it out with one of my photos of me and my son. In just a couple minutes, I turned this photo:

Into this fun photo below:

Neato huh?

Of course there is WAY more stuff you can do with Picnik. Last night I used my logo on one of my blogs to create a cute button image. If you love to play with graphics, I recommend playing around with this free program. There are lots of other tutorials you can find online, especially on YouTube.

If you need to make your own button image for your blog, I recommend taking a peek at Linda’s post “Make Your Own Cutest  EVER Blog Buttons For FREE“. She is the one originally introduced me to Picnik with her post.

Now go have some fun with Picnik too!

Make Money Writing: Examiner.com

March 3, 2010 by Leave a Comment


Write for Examiner.com
One of my favorite ways that I make money online is by writing. I really have a true passion for writing and make some great money doing it online each and every month. When I was young, I wanted to write children’s books. I even had a poem published in one of those poetry books.  If you have a passion for writing, you can seriously make an extra income online. There are tons of different ways you can make money with freelance writing, blog posting, articles and more.

Lots of moms (and dads) are making money writing articles for the website Examiner.com. I have not personally made any money myself, but I am going to sign up for the program to see what it has to offer. What is Examiner? It is the insider source for everything local. They are the fastest-growing local destination site on the web with city editions in over 90 major markets across the U.S., and millions of visitors

Examiner is looking for thousands of writers that they call “Examiners” who can create original content that entertains and informs their readers. Examiners can reach millions of readers, they earn money generated by their articles, and build their writing portfolio. Does it work? Yes, thousands of people have already become Examiners.

You don’t have to be an expert writer either! If you like to write, apply and see what happens.

Earn money generated by your articles. Write for Examiner.com.

Enjoy
