    A Solo-Entrepreneur Syndrome - Do You Stop and Don't Know it?
    Are you stopping ... and don't know it? Are you stopping ... and don't show it? If you're stopping ... you won't grow it? So STOP it!Sound a little corny? Well, it's really not. I was working on a product recently and continued to re-record 1 section to the point it was getting out of hand. I kept saying, "Why

    Last year’s campaign tops the listing with press releases, reports, and all sorts of outdated clutter. At this point the journalist, the schoolteacher, the researcher, the philanthropist who could have done so much to help promote your campaign will leave.

    Business - Did You Understand That?
    There are times in the corporate world where we may get frustrated with our boss. They may even say things we may agree with, but sometimes they won’t even make sense.The following statements are from memos or emails from some well known national and international businesses. The names of the businesses have b
    A charity’s annual awareness day, awareness week or awareness month is a big event. Run well it can raise huge amounts of money and create a greater public understanding of your cause. Hundreds of campaigns take place through the year – who hasn’t heard of World Aids Day, Breast Cancer Awareness Month and World Book Day? Brilliantly run events - you can probably name the months they fall in but sadly many campaigns fail to make such an impact.

    I edit www.countmeincalendar.info that profiles of campaigns from across the world and I research hundreds of campaigns every month. Like everyone else on the internet I search for information and it amazes me how often charities make it such hard work for anyone wanting to find out about their campaigns.

    Simply they fail because they do not understand the needs of people visiting them.

    So what’s going wrong?

    The number one error is pretty unbelievable but you would be amazed how often I see it.

    During the time a campaign is taking place the homepage, the most important page on any site, carries not a link, not a button, not a banner related to the campaign. It is as if it is not happening – incredible. Yet this is the time when the charity will hopefully be attracting huge amounts of media attention as well as trying to pull in Joe Public as a fundraiser.

    Without these clear links you are driven in desperation to use the site search – oh no, what’s this?

    Starting Your Business: 3 Tips for Bootstrapping Your Way to the Top

    Pharmaceutical Sales and Resume Services
    Who would be the best person to target if you are looking for a pharmaceutical sales job? A recruiter? Somebody from human resources? Actually, neither. The best target will always be the person who will make final hiring decisions for pharmaceutical sales positions which is the district sales manager. I know t

    People are looking for your campaign information.

    So don’t put anything in their way. Post your campaign information on your site early – at least three months ahead of the event if possible. Put a clear campaign banner or at least a text link on your homepage. Make that link take you ideally to a campaign micro site or to designated section of the site where people can find:

    • Up to date campaign press releases,
    • The annual campaign theme,
    • FAQs on the issues surrounding the campaign.
    • Downloadable campaign images including logos,
    • Fundraising ideas and tools,
    • Inspirational stories,
    • Contact details for press and fundraising support.

    Provide lots of valuable information that is easy to find and your campaign will make an impact. Good luck.
