Saving You From Bankruptcy and Public Humiliation Since October 2007
Around this time last year, I started this blog in earnest. I had done a few posts prior to October, but I managed to get my hands on a boatload of traffic and asked them what they wanted in a small business and marketing blog. Because they were nice, they told me.
Here’s what they came up with:
Time Management for Small Business Owners
What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do is for when you’re sitting there looking and your to-do list and it makes you want to turn around and go back to bed.
How To Get Four More Hours In Your Day is for, well, you know.
How To Pull An All Nighter is for when you’re about to launch a product and you are going to email every major player in your industry and there’s a very good chance you’re not going to get it done EVER and you’ll die hungry and alone. (Not that I know ANYTHING about that.)
How To Avoid Burnout is something I should probably get off my ass and reread instead of just sending you there.
What Do You Have To Give is about giving generously even when you feel you have nothing left.
Money and Small Business
Having a Backup Plan That Doesn’t Suck is a guide for figuring out what makes a good backup plan and what, um, doesn’t.
Creating Multiple Income Streams gets into the idea of what income streams really are and figuring out where they all fall on the passive, semi-passive, and active spectrum.
Finding the right risk balance is one of my favorites because it uses the words “riskophile” and “riskophobe”, both of which are pretty awesome.
Money and Entrepreneurship: Best of the Web is where I bail and just regurgitate other people’s advice.
Can You Afford It? tells you how to stop lying to yourself about your financial decisions.
Small Business Marketing
What Are You Really Selling? puts every purchase into one of two categories: love, and money.
9 Steps To Rockstar Marketing is one of my favorite posts, and it talks about marketing to people while they’re buying laxatives.
Should You Sell On Price? is one I talked about yesterday but it’s in the series so I’m putting it here too.
Small Business Psychology
Conspiracy Theories tells what to do when working from home is making you lose your mind. It is also the one where I say “slut” nine times in a row.
Are You Cocky or Do You Have Balls? really defies the need for commentary, doesn’t it?
What To Do When You’re Scared Shitless is from so long ago that I still used symbols instead of swearing in my title.
Thanks, early readers, for giving me something to write about during that first month when you think you’re blogging to an empty room.
