"Help me to help you"

The way i am doing this at the moment is, that if you purchase a package from us, (Business Package upwards) and then you refer four people to our services, i.e. (Business Package upwards), then you can get a free renewal for the next year, so you get two years worth of hosting instead of one. This means that you get one year free with… Continue

The Tate Modern

I took a trip to see the Tate Modern, Museum of Art on Saturday 30th August 2008. It was an interesting experience. I saw many pieces of art from my artists that i did not even know or hear bout. Some of the pieces of art were of an explicit nature so those young people with us had to go into another room. Art is something that we should all appreciate. Music is art, video and graphics is Art. A majority of the things we tend to do in this century would be now classed as art, so we must tak… Continue

Business & Advertising Tatics?

There are many ways to get your point across and to attract people to your products/services. The best part is when someone refers you on to someone else and then they do the same. (The ball & chain.) I call this "The ball & chain" because business is always like a ball, "Rolling" along until it hits something. "The Link" is the best bit. People can like your services, refer you to others, and then the link starts all over again. This is a good way to direct traffic to your website.… Continue

Another Day, Another Issue!

Once again, someone within the United Kingdom messes up. This time, a server containing thousands of bank details was sold on ebay for only £35-40. It was bought by a security expert who notfied the company of the wrong doing and also notified the media. The media have now placed news on this matter and have covered the issue. This is yet another mess up, after the government already lost thousands of names and contact details for convicted sex offenders. I cannot see why they did not encryp… Continue

Confidence Equals Success!

There are many people out there who have thought of setting up their own business but have not had the confidence to try to let it "take off." The "take off" is one of the hardest bits when running a business, after all the planning you have done and then you set it up; you suddenly notice that no one is buying or there seems to be no interest. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! The matter at hand would be that you are not advertising enough or that you are not targeting the right market. You need to choo… Continue

Financing?

When setting up a business, finance is usually the biggest restriction and chooses when you can start a business. One way to plan for this is to setup a bank account while you’re still working and to put some money away which you can use to invest. You could also take out a loan from a bank if required but it is advised to avoid this if possible. The most advised way to deal with equipment would be to make sure that you have enough money to purchase the equipment before hand so that you have it… Continue

Who to choose?

This is another major thing that you need to think about. "Why should someone choose your company when compared against others?" I am talking about this because many people will rush in and just hope that once their online business presence has been made; that people will just "Rush" in and start buying. Once again, a misconception on behalf of the person who is wishing to setup their own online business. The business needs to be carefully planned and well advertised before any good sales star… Continue
