Up0Hi,
Just wondering if you have a website?
Also, do you deliver to industrial/business areas?
Thanks

http://www.428publishingservices.com.auUp0We create newsletters for our clients and at the moment we either print them or send them electronically through a PDF file.
We need someone who will be able to set up a newsletter subscription option on our client’s website so that they can send these newsletters out either as a PDF file or as an email newsletter, and also provide an archive of newsletters on their website.
As we are not very technically minded we would like to be able to refer our clients onto someone reliable who could set this up for them.
Regards and thanks,
Lynda

Up0Hi Mindy,
Welcome to the forum.
I also work from home and have a daughter, Avah, aged 2. I’d love to have my hubby at home working with me (I think???!!) (Maybe in a different room)

Up0Good on you for knowing what you want to do so early in your life.
I worked in a boring government job for a long time before realising what I really wanted to do with my life. I hate thinking about how much time I wasted there.
Good luck with everything. I am looking forward to hearing all about your business.

Lynda
Up0Hi,
Business cards are not too expensive these day if you shop around.
It is worth spending the time and money to make sure your business cards look professional and say what they need to say about you and your business.
Sometimes, your business card is the only way you will get to make an impression on a prospective client or business associate.Up0I like no.4 it is clear and simple but still attention grabbing. My attention was instantly on the words not on trying to figure out what the picture was. All the logos are really great though was hard trying to pick just one.

Up0We recently did a blog about this on our website, here are our tips:
1. I’ll start with the boring one that is on these sorts of lists all the time – Think about what you enjoy doing. Hobbies, interests, things you love to talk about or read up on. Do you prefer physical work or would you prefer an office setting? Do you want to work alone from home or with other people at a different location than where you live?
2. What skils do you have? What skills do you wish you had?
3. Look through a guide book at different courses. If anything grabs your attention then maybe doing some study to learn something new could lead to you doing something completely different to what you do now or maybe you could build on the skills and knowledge you already have.
4. Browse through some phone books, websites, forums to see what other businesses do.
5. Ask family and friends what they think your strengths and skills are. Have you ever had anyone say to you, “You would make a great radio announcer” (Or chef or electrician or whatever)
6. Ask family and friends what they think your weaknesses are. For example, if you are an impatient person then there is no point becoming a counsellor or therapist where being patient and listening to others would be the most important part of your job. I mean sure you could do it, but you wouldn’t make much money.
7. Look up websites that have “A day in the life of a….”. Look up a career that interests you and read up on what is invoved.
8. Think about previous jobs you had and what parts of it you enjoyed doing. When I was a recruitment officer I was responsible for putting together an employee newsletter. I absolutely loved doing it and now that is what I do full-time.
9. Be inspired by your dreams. We are here for a good time, not a long time. Do what you love.
Hope this helps,
Lynda & Jayde
