    How to Find a Good Freelancer ?
    Whether you currently deal with a freelancer website, or are just looking for the best place to find a freelancer, the biggest problem you face is how to find a good reliable freelance, one that will do the job properly with good quality work and finish it on time. Many sites offer you, the webmaster, a place to post your projects to be bid on by freelancers. All of these sites let you contact offshore workers that live in countries where wages are only a fraction of what they are in the more industrialized nations. This allows you to keep your project budget low and save money by keeping your full-time staff small. So, how can you find this “diamond in the rough”? You know, t

    Maryland Legislators and Lawyers Propose Franchise Rule Change
    Recently the Maryland State Legislature thought it prudent to require more disclosure than is already required by law and a complete audit of each franchisee of every company, which was franchising in their state and providing jobs and tax base. It is the typical thing dumb politicians do when they have no clue as to how free enterprise models work. There ought to be a test for all Maryland State legislators and lawyers on the reality of the market place. The entrepreneurs cannot build as fast as the lawyers and bureaucracy is stealing from us. Caesar was right, maybe we should follow his thought process on this one. Here is an excerpt of a letter, I, an entrepreneur had to write the legislature to
    IT pros are leaving the corporate world like traders at the closing bell on Wall Street--fast and en masse. That's the inside scoop from an IT executive friend of mine at a Fortune 500 bank. According to my source, in the last two months 70 percent of his IT employees that quit their corporate jobs are leaving to become consultants.

    Why Most Advertisements Stink!
    Question: What do you think the most important part of any ad is? Your company name?  Your telephone number?  Your offer? Look at your own advertising.  What stands out?  What is in the largest print?  If it’s your company name or logo hold out your wrist so I can whack it with a stick. What’s the answer?  THE HEADLINE!! You see, without a good compelling headline it won’t matter much how great your copy or you offer is, because few will ever read it. REMEMBER: The Only Job Of A Headline Is To Get The Reader To Read The First Paragraph. It should be big, bold, dark and easy to read.  But more importantly, it must force the reader to read on. "

    Building a Case for Brand Identity
    The key to creative and effective branding of any program, product, service or institution is finding the right positioning—to drive the advertising and other marketing tools. It doesn’t have to be complicated or weird. In fact, if it’s good and effective, it’s simple and will follow this “Rule of consumers”—“You are what you appear to be.” This position, or ‘brand’ is really an identity (not in your mind but in your audience’s)—a way people can sort through all the confusing information and summarize what they think about something.What do you get with a brand identity?Over the last 25 years we have come to learn that the development of a brand identity is much more than a mere be

    Condemning Our Entrepreneurs and Business Folks, are We Sure this is Wise?
    During the last period we can recall the Savings and Loan and Junk Bond Scandal everyone was up in arms over that. It led to a public mindset that all business people were greedy and evil. One songwriter in the band Jefferson Starship who wrote “We Built This City on Rock and Roll” had a verse in his song; “Someone always playing corporation games; Who cares they're always changing corporation names.”The songwriter captured the minds of the masses. But who said Corporations are bad? They bring us everything we desire. Entrepreneurs are not evil, they bring us everything we see and everywhere we go. Someone produced it, sold it, invented it and made it. You bought, because you desired it. Tod

    Do You Need a Voice Mail Service?
    Cell phone users, all around the world, love their phones for a number of different reasons. One of those reasons is because many come equipped with voicemail. Voicemail is similar to an answering machine. The only difference is that many voicemails can be retrieved from a number of different locations. If you are a small business owner, you may want to examine what a voice mail service can do for your business.If you are wondering why you need voice mail when you have an answering machine, you are not alone. A large number of business owners are wondering the same thing. When it comes to answering machines, a large number of answer machines only replay the messages on t
