Plan for a crowd when you use deal sites

Posted on April 17, 2012

I know there have already been lots written about deal sites such as groupon. I just want to remind you to PLAN before you put up a deal on a site like groupon. This can be a chance for your business to shine or it can be a chance to ruin your reputation with new clients. Be sure you have enough staff on hand to handle the increased business. Make sure that you are clear on the terms of your deal and how it can be redeemed. You don’t want to wind up like Posh Nails getting bad publicity because you treated your groupon customers poorly. Remember that people don’t have to take poor treatment lying down. They can retaliate by reporting what you did to them like this blogger did here: http://mommytalkshow.com/product-review-2/i-want-a-refund-from-groupon-after-posh-nails-spa-in-buckhead-treated-me-this-way/. In this day in age you don’t know who has thousands of twitter followers or hundreds of friends on Facebook to either rave or rant about you to.

Today I have a guest post for you. It is about protecting your assets. Enjoy.

Protect Your Assets: Essential Safeguards for Small Businesses
Running a small business is hard work, and you simply may not have the time or the resources to keep track of all the safety concerns that plague your operation on a daily basis. For this reason it behooves you to create policies and implements security measures meant to protect yourself, your employees, and your business as a whole. After all, you don’t want to have to deal with theft, damage, lawsuits, or other major hassles if you can possibly avoid them. So here are a few safeguards you may want to put in place.

Firewall. Data theft is just as big a concern these days for some companies as potential robbery of goods. In order to protect yourself from hackers, spyware, and viruses you need to make sure that your firewall provides adequate protection for your computer network. Hiring a professional and paying a little more for extra security is a good way to ensure that your system is safe from attack and destruction.

How Can I Build My Email List?

Posted on August 15, 2011

I’m a member of a lot of business related Facebook groups. That’s a good way to connect with people that are interested in what you are interested in. One of the groups I am involved in, Atlanta Women Entrepreneurs is extremely active with people asking lots of business related questions. I have to sometimes pull myself away from the group’s page or I’ll spend all day on there helping out with this or that question related to small business. One question made me want to write a blog post so I didn’t crowd the group or take over the conversation. So here’s the question that started it all (I will also link to the person that asked the question as well as the person that answered the question): Read more...

Happy Dance! My Blog Finally Has Some PageRank

Posted on August 5, 2011March 17, 2016

Okay so even though I don’t live and die by PageRank, it’s nice to see my efforts have paid off. I think the Panda update helped my site out a lot. I went from having no PageRank to having a PageRank of 3! Whoo hoo! I don’t know exactly when the PageRank became 3 because I just checked it today. Yay! So basically all I did was focus on building backlinks, doing guest blog posts, posted my blog posts on Twitter and Facebook whenever I had a new post and blogged as consistently as possible.
