The other day I took my dog over to the veterinarian and while there I got to chatting with the receptionist and I had mentioned that I do web design. She said she was interested in setting up a website for herself to start selling her flip flops that she makes, but had no idea where to start, let alone how to design a website. The truth is, these days you don’t need hire a web designer to have a website you can pretty easily do it yourself.

June 6, 2012 by 1 Comment
It’s absolutely insanity to me that anyone can think that social media is a waste of time. There are over a billion people on social media networks spending countless hours a week sharing, engaging, developing business leads, creating friendships, finding others that share your passion in whatever it is you do.
So then why do some people still feel and state that social media is a waste of time – because they haven’t set goals or strategies in place to answer the why.

Wanna Hangout? Why Google + is Good For Your Business
April 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment
When Google Plus was first launched I couldn’t wait to test it out. The hype was that it would be a direct competitor to Facebook. I asked everyone a knew for an invitation to try the beta version.
