Facebook is one of the swiftest growing social networking web sites in the world, so you are going to be able to draw in clients outside the U.S, which is particularly ideal if you are running an internet business. You may use the 'notes' section of Facebook to explain the function and goals of your business. You can include as many folk in the note as you want, so that prospective partners and backers can find out more about your company.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/11/04/the-importance-of-social-media-sites-for-your-business/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/21/get-motivated-stay-motivated-part-2/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/21/get-motivated-stay-motivated-part-2/#comments Sat, 20 Dec 2008 23:13:16 +0000 the silent avatar http://silentavatar.com/blog/?p=284 Now if there is one thing I have found about working from home, it is that you have to be disciplined. Even more so if you are "it" (that is, no one else to delegate tasks to).When you work from home distractions come thick and fast, and before long you can find that your day is whittled down to a couple of productive hours interspersed with paying your bills, sending emails to friends, eating, making coffee, shopping, general surfing the Net, and oftentimes playing Solitaire or Spider! Does this sound familiar to you? Even if you are working a full time or part time job to supplement your income, the time you DO have generally reads like the above paragraph (you just don't waste quite as many hours doing it). ]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/21/get-motivated-stay-motivated-part-2/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/18/get-motivated-stay-motivated/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/18/get-motivated-stay-motivated/#comments Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:21:45 +0000 the silent avatar http://silentavatar.com/blog/?p=278 There is no such thing as luck. Just desire, a clear goal, and then doing what needs to be done until you get your goal, mixed in with a big dollop of self motivation. Of course we all have tasks we dislike, and this brings me to an revelation which prohibits us from getting where we want to go - self motivation. Some revelation eh? Doh.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/18/get-motivated-stay-motivated/feed/ 1 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/10/significant-benefitof-directory-submission/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/10/significant-benefitof-directory-submission/#comments Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:41:57 +0000 the silent avatar http://www.silentavatar.com/blog//?p=120 yellow pages Achieving good search engine visibility has become a necessity for every website today. Sometimes you can feel disconnected and separated from the rest of the world and disenfranchised a bit when you havegone to a lot of time and effort to create a product, get a website (or create it yourself), only to find that the traffic just isn't happening. Submitting your site to a directory, or ensuring the major search engines have your site indexed is akin to putting a "now open" sign outside the front door of a shop. Taking this analogy further, if you had a brick and mortar shop in some dark back ally without a sign to let customers know where you were, then you would have to expect not to do good business.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/10/significant-benefitof-directory-submission/feed/ 1 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/07/have-you-found-your-mentor/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/07/have-you-found-your-mentor/#comments Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:53:38 +0000 the silent avatar http://www.silentavatar.com/blog//?p=123 Part of working with a mentor is the ability for them to give freely to you information which will help you grow your business and make it successful.Unfortunately , there is a saying "you can't know what you don't know", and this means you are only going to get the information you need if you ask the right questions - unless of course they freely give over their information.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/07/have-you-found-your-mentor/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/01/3-management-tips-for-small-business/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/01/3-management-tips-for-small-business/#comments Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:24:50 +0000 the silent avatar http://www.silentavatar.com/blog//?p=121 Our top three subjects are setting rules for your business, IT and machines in your business, and delegating tasks in your business.
