Check Out Your Website’s Browser Compatibility

Michelle Waters — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 05:28:47 +0000

If you designed your own website, do website design for a living, or just want to check up on your designer, there is an awesome tool to help you do it.

Simply enter your website address, select which browsers you want to see your site in (or use the defaults) and click submit.

Usually within about 30 minutes, you’ll have a list of screenshots that you can hover your mouse over to enlarge, or click for more details about what browser and system generated the screenshot.

This is awesome, because you can use it to ensure that all your customers who are using Firefox, Safari, Opera or BonEcho (Have you even heard of that?!) can you use your website.

Just think, your website might look awesome in Internet Explorer 7.0 — but if it’s not standards complaint, people in Firefox or Opera might see a jumbled mess. And guess what? They’re going to leave your site.

Free Search Engine Optimization Report

Michelle Waters — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 07:27:16 +0000

If you know what SEO is, chances are, you’ve read more than your fair share of articles or forum threads about how to optimize your site.

And chances are, you probably haven’t read a whole lot about what can prevent the search engines from finding or indexing your site.

So, I’ve put together a free report for you: “Can The Search Engines Find Your Site?”

This report includes several website factors that can keep your site out of the search engines — and even worse, annoy the few customers who do show up on your site.

You can download the free report at SEO Power Up until March. Yep, you read that right. In March, the free report will no longer be available for download. However, it will be included in the 52-week SEO training course that we’re putting together right now. This course will take you step by step through the process of optimizing your site and dispelling many of the myths swirling through the SEO community.

Grab your free report now at SEO Power UP, and we’ll add you to our notification list, so you’ll be among the first to know about our seo course in March

Need An Inexpensive Phone Answering System?

Michelle Waters — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 03:02:46 +0000

How does free sound?

Google had introduced a “new” service called GrandCentral. It’s still in beta and currently free (not sure how much they will charge after beta), but what it does is gives you a local number and the ability to direct your phone calls to your cellphone, home or business line.

For example, I have added my family, friends and assistants to my address book. I’ve placed each of them into a group, and setup each group so that anyone in that group who calls me, is sent to one of my phones - and then if I don’t answer, they recieve one of my voicemail messages.

Even better, I can login to the site on my computer, listen to the messages, email a response or start a call.

The way you call through the computer is pretty nifty. This afternoon, I was on the phone with Steph and decided to try this out. I clicked the call button next to my husband’s name and number. A window opened up asking me which phone I want to call from. I selected my cellphone.

A moment later, my cellphone rang. I answered it and shortly thereafter heard the the sound of ringing in my cellphone. Moments later my husband’s phone started to ring.

Cool huh?

Wanna see the other neat features? Just go to GrandCentral.com.

Now, this service is by invitation only. So, if you want to try it out, you’ll need to link to this post from another blog. Then post a comment below with your link and email address.

Doing Business In Your Bathrobe Day

Michelle Waters — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 05:52:09 +0000

I’ve discovered an awesome opportunity to generate media interest in our businesses with the fifth annual “Doing Business In Your Bathrobe Day.”

Send a press release to your local media, with your information, letting them know that you are celebrating this international holiday on February 12, 2007. According to WAHM Talk Radio, one home-based entrepreneur has already received calls from three local media outlets, including a TV station, print publication and online resource, after sending out her press release.

Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Day recognizes the hard work and dedication it takes to be an entrepreneur. It’s a national holiday to call attention to the millions of home business owners who have waved goodbye to the corporate rat race and settled into a better quality of life. We felt it was high time to recognize the efforts and dreams of entrepreneurs. “It’s a national day to support entrepreneurs everywhere who are taking their work and paychecks into their own hands,” says Kristie Tamsevicius.

Increase Your Inventory Without Spending A Dime

Michelle Waters — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 07:53:59 +0000

Would you love to expand your inventory — but you don’t have the money to buy a bunch of stuff, even at wholesale prices?

Sign up for the Free WAHM Stuff mailing list and we’ll tell you how to offer more inventory to your customers, without spending any money…

Reach out and touch your customers

Michelle Waters — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 07:48:48 +0000

Keeping in contact with your customers is not as hard as it sounds — if you use a sequential autoresponder.

With this tool, you can write several newsletter (mailing list) issues at once — and set them up to be sent to your subscribers at specific intervals.

For example, you can send an issue immediately after the subscriber confirms their subscription — and then another issue the next day, another issue a week later, another issue a week after that, etc.

This is great for an ecourse series or for sending tips to your customers (much like the Free WAHM Stuff mailing list!).

You can also send broadcast emails out on specific days and at a specific time. This is great for making sure you send a sale announcement email at the right time, or maybe notification of an event.

Best of all, this service has a free trial. Just sign up for the Free WAHM Stuff mailing list and you’ll receive more information abot this service and how to request the free trial.
