I'M ANDREA... I'M PLEASED TO MEET YOU

I like to make stuff. I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together again - only better. I'm a Web Developer, a Graphic Designer, a videographer, an occasional writer, an amateur photographer and a jewellery designer.

I've been creating and designing ever since I was a tiny thing; it's my gift.

I've done the whole corporate-worker-in-a-stuffy-office thing, including 10 crazy years running across Europe as a very tired business software training consultant. However, now I'm really, REALLY enjoying working with individual authors, artists, and small business entrepreneurs from across the globe whilst I travel the Americas. I've typed up articles and created websites whilst riding on buses in Mexico, flying on planes over California, sitting on tropical beaches in Costa Rica, and whilst sipping iced Piña Coladas in Panama.

Man, I love my laptop!

I have the absolute privilege of guiding creative, artistic people (they're much more fun!) through the process of getting up to speed online, and then marketing their amazing skills.

Lucky, lucky me!

I first sat before a PC screen back in 1977, the equivalent of the Stone Age in computer technology terms. Now, along with my thirty years of computer experience, I’ve also collected a degree in Business and Information Technology, and a decade of experience as a Software Training Consultant. During that decade I not only all kinds of software to create websites, both in corporate and private settings, I also wrote computer manuals and delivered presentations and classes to other people on how to do so.

Perhaps I can help you?

- I create websites
- I create videos for online promotions
- I design logos
- I run a great Sta.rtup.Biz GROUP called How to Build a Better Business Website
- I blog about Social Networking

To your ongoing success,

Start Social Networking Online - And They Will Come!

Back during the infancy of the internet, when we asked whether we'd get new customers by building a website we were told it would be simple. "Just build it" the experts told us, "and they will come..."

But now? Oh no. If that's all you do then no, they will not come.

You see there's a lot more competition out there nowadays. So there are quite a few extra steps you would be wise to take.

For a start you have to research what 'they' - your potential customers, readers, agents, fans - ar… Continue

How to Create a "Stop 'Em In Their Tracks!" Home Page on Your Website

Of course, every website needs an attractive and engaging home page where people who are searching for you or the items/services you offer will eventually land. You won't necessarily need to spend ages in deep thought before in deciding the how, why and what of your home page content.

Let me tell you a few basic points to consider when it comes to structuring and laying out your website's home page text.

What Exactly IS a Search Engine, What Does It Do, And Why On Earth Should You Care?

Have you ever heard a business owner lament that, though they've built a fabulous website - brightly-colored, laden with technological bells and whistles - it languishes unknown, and unvisited, and they can't pull in any new clients because their clients never come to visit them?

Maybe you are that business owner?

If this is happening to you, it's probably because no-one knows your website is out there in cyberspace. And that may be because the Search Engines are ignoring you or maybe e… Continue

A Great Big, Super-Useful List of Website Directories To Help Make The Search Engines Love You!

We all know that Search Engines like Google.com love to reward popular, useful websites by pushing them higher up their listings. And one of the best ways to demonstrate the popularity of your website is to have other sites linking to you.

But not just any old boring websites - oh no!

What the Search Engines want is for your links to come from quality organisations that provide worthwhile information to its visitors.

Getting your site listed on well-established, reputable Directories i… Continue

What Are The Top 5 Ways To Bring Extra Clients To Your Website?

What tips can you share about the best ways to bring extra clients to a business website? Why am I asking this? Well, recently, a client of mine emailed me the following key question:

"I am depressed about our traffic... any ideas for getting more?"

It got me thinking. What can I share about traffic generation that is fairly simple to learn and that can also be implemented pretty quickly by a super-busy entrepreneur? I started scribbling down my ideas on the techniques and resources tha… Continue

7 Important Questions to Ask Before You Start Writing Your Website's Text...

Confused about the key things you should consider when you are first creating the text for your website? Well, grab a pen and paper, find a quiet place to sit and have a think, then work your way through the following key questions:

1. Who's going to be visiting my site? What are their interests, lifestyles, habits? I'm putting myself in front of a lot of people. Who do I think will, ultimately, buy something from me?

2. Have I identified my Unique Selling Position (

Will Blogging be the Death of the Novel?

Here's a key question for you all. There are many serious writers who now invest so much time and emotional energy into their blogs, that they're struggling to find the time to do anything else productive.

So tell me, will the art of spending months and years creating a long, lingering novel disappear? In five years time, will the majority of what we currently know as 'printed writing' disappear or be replaced?

Or will the printed word survive the downturn in the publishing industry, and the u… Continue

- I Cordially Invite You To-

Have you ever had a business meeting at fine restaurant? Have you ever been involved in social gathering that involved food, wine and cocktails? I would venture to say you have enjoyed such an experience.

Regardless the event, be it fundraiser, networking or business dinner your culinary knowledge of foods, wines and cocktails can become the ice breaker to opening new relationships at these events. It’s the common ground we seek to open a conversation and be able to introduce ourselves. It’s a warm, soft non-offensive introduction.

I would like to share with you a new social community where you can gather this culinary knowledge, expand your network and have fun all at the same time. Meet and chat with Chefs, learn from top bartenders how to mix the perfect cocktail, listen to the wine experts review new and old wines, etc. etc.

So come join me at ROS, and help build our wonderful new community.

Cheers,
Allen

If you place your cursor on the bottom of the ROS badge below, the word Join will light up, if you click it – it will take you to the ROS sign-up page, thank you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

The question being, Is Now A Good Time To Buy Real Estate. I have no idea how my answer got to be on your page under a completely different post. I do not know how to use this obviously as I was certain I replied to something else and have never seen this post before. If you think I am rude then please delete my post and delete me from your friends because I only want to be friends with people who have respect, compassion and understanding.

I offered an opportunity for members to be able to help their clients and friendd and make a few $$$ -- isn't that why we're here?

I offered to promote others on my website.

What's wrong with this picture?

At 12:52am on April 23, 2009, Wendy Ratel said…: I've briefly read a few of your posts and I'm really looking forward to making/taking the time to read them more thoroughly. Finding someone who can speak "people" rather than "web" is great and you seem to be able to communicate info in a lovely, straight-forward manner.

At 4:09pm on April 22, 2009, Maria Isabel Lopez said…: Dear Andrea,

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately my partners and I do not speak all the languages we service. I am fluent in Spanish only. In today’s global economy, foreign language services are a growing need. As you may already know, due to its unreliability and high mistake rate, machine or computer translations are a bad resource and investment.

Our specialty is to provide expert, cost-effective management service for multi-lingual and multi-page translation projects. Currently our network encompasses over 3000 Professional Linguists fluent in over 200 languages and dialects with a background and degrees in a wide range of subject matters.

We help national and worldwide organizations and small businesses meet the increased demand for expert human written translation and communication services. One of our specialties is website/webpage translation. Many language service clients have found that machine translation is not accurate and reliable, and that it leads webpage users to confusion and aggravation. Similarly, mistakes occur when translation services are offered under a “single translator system.” Our process involves team translations for a single cost per word translated which includes translation, editing and proofreading.

Needless to say that if you or any of your clients ever need language service assistance with any Web Development projects, please does not hesitate to contact us at: npprojects@nativeprojects.com

Warm regards,

Maria Isabel

Hello Andrea

Please forgive me for the blatant pitch on first contact. I know all the experts say not to do it, the thing is we have an event coming up on 26th April in Crawley with Brian Tracy and I wanted to let as many people as possible know about it.

Some further details can be got at:

http://www.showtelldo.com/ilg/briantracy.htm

We are launching an opportunity which is available worldwide, and we are so excited about that, getting to meet Brian for the first time.

We would be particularly interested in meeting you in London on that day if you are in the area, and are free for a few hours. We are so fortunate to be working with some of the top leaders in the MLM industry, and also to be part of Brian Tracy's team.

If the timing is right for you to evaluate a new or additional product, please contact me. In particular if you are in or near London, then I definitely want to hear from you, and will arrange to meetup with you, and introduce you to a few of our team members, including Brian Tracy.

Once again, I apologise for the blatant pitch, I just needed to get this message to you as 26th April, is approaching fast.

Warmest Regards,

Gordon
