My new project is NorthSanDiego.org. It’s going to be a community site for North San Diego County full of local residents, local businesses, start ups, bloggers, entrepreneurs, and really anyone else in the area.  The past few years and currently my clients have been small businesses with a low budget.  I have spent, and still do, time listening to the problems that these local small businesses go through. Now I am using that knowledge to come up with a solution and resource to be utilized. I enjoy helping people compete against the big guys anyway I can. This is where NorthSanDiego.org came...

Check Username Tips Check username? Claiming all of your usernames can help you in several ways. Whether you are branding yourself or your company going through this process can help you get found online. I would recommend doing both your business and your personal name.

LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Quora, and even a bunch of other Social Media sites come up in the search results. Personally I have claimed as many...

Following Blogs and RSS Feeds You can follow Blogs and websites by following their RSS (Really Simple Syndicate) feeds. The universal icon for an Really Simple Syndicate  is an orange background with little waves going diagonally up.

Most social networks have the ability to have one. We have...

Why Blog? I will go through the why and some blogging tips.  Most of the business owners I’ve sat down with haven’t taken my advice to get an active blog up and running.   Don’t forget the ones that do have do have one and write 1-10 posts and never write anymore. The responses usually vary from “I wouldn’t know what to write” to “I don’t have time to blog” to “All of this is way over my head.” If this is you then  hopefully this post can give you some blogging tips and help convince you. Being the business owner you don’t...

  This blog post is from my experience and perspective. You may have different experiences and I would welcome hearing yours! Online Networking and Offline Networking play a huge role in today’s society for business and employment. The old cliche saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” plays its part, being valid with this subject. Different age groups approach these two in different ways but the ones who indulge into both fair a lot better. The power of networking can create solid relationships (and leads) with people for years to come. We are going to explore a...

Benjamin Franklin Quote “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” That’s a good one!

From this, Aristotle hypothesized that air was needed as a medium through which sound could be conducted. He further reasoned that sound would not be conducted in a vacuum. Source:...
