Two comparable businesses on Biznik?

I'm needing assistance on how to list on one Biznik profile two comparable businesses that I own. And, I have two different logos, how can I list both?

Lara told me that there are members who are doing this successfully. I would love to know how to do this.

I appreciate your help.

Advertising Fees: How to create fair and affordable.

I am creating a new website that will include local companies products and services. How do I create a rate card? Is there a formula? Where can I find information on how to create this? Will it be specific to Seattle and the surrounding areas?

I appreciate any and all tips and tricks.

How can I take my life to the next level? How can I make a difference for myself and others?

Ever thought about making a difference in your life and in others? How does one do that? Where do you start?

Come to an evening of finding out how that is possible.

Monday, July 14, 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.

Landmark Center - Seattle/Fremont

Topic: A FREAKIN' REVOLUTION for what's possible.

Speaker: Larry Pearson, Landmark Forum Leader

Larry Pearson is a stand for transforming South Africa. He was one of the core people working with the Vanto Group which had such an impact on the platinum mines there. One result was moving the accident rate from 40% to 5%. Another was transforming the relationship between management and workers, removing the divisions along race lines. Larry is a powerhouse.

Revolution (n) : A fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something; a change of paradigm. [Middle English revolven, to change direction]

When we were five years old, anything was possible. Over time, we learned to be "realistic" -- we began to "wise up" to how life "really is," and we revised our ambitions and possibilities accordingly.

Conventional wisdom says:

Be careful! Watch your back. Don't talk to strangers. Grow up! You can't save the world! Some day you'll understand how it really is. People are people. Some people will never change. Everyone's just out to make a buck.

On Monday, July 14, you will have the opportunity to set aside your old ideas for yourself, your life, and for the planet.

You will experience a revolution for what is possible.

Please call or email me to rsvp.

I am looking for help for my assistant who is putting together my newsletter. It's on IContact. She is having a really hard time with the set-up, the alignment, etc... Is there someone out there who I can have my assistant speak with? This is sooooooo way over my head.

I would love to get my newsletter out this century :>)

Hi Gang,

I'm working on my first newsletter using IContact. I have a question?

Can you put text on top of an image? And how do you do that?

I'm creating the newsletter from scratch and appreciate any/all advice on how to get this all put together.

Thank you in advance.

How to approach a successful business and not look desparate?

I want to approach a very successful service business to partner up my services with theirs. They cater to the same target market that I do. What is the best approach to introduce myself and my business and not have them think I just want them for their clients?

Help! Need advice on how to start my first company newsletter.

I am finding that there is so much information out there about creating newsletters that I am overwhelmed. I am a novice at this and am looking for an easy, cost-effective (free is great) way to do my first newsletter and beyond.

I am looking for the steps, 1, 2, 3 + on creating and distributing (not spamming) my company newsletter (mailed and online).

I want to find a program that is flexible and not necessarily cookie-cutter.

I appreciate your feedback!

I Spy Busy Professionals/Executives Who Value Their Time

My biggest goal for 2008 is to get the word out to the public that they can have more free time by delegating projects to me.

I am looking for advice on where I can meet B.P.& E's. to introduce myself, my company and market my concierge services.

I have put together a professional flier with business cards included in a small pouch and would like to place it in high traffic areas of these types.

Any thoughts or ideas where I can spy these types?

Thank you!

Are You Unstoppable?

How about you?

Ask the Professional Organizer

Now that I've decided to blog, I'm wondering what to blog about? I want my blog to be fun, informative and interactive.

So, I thought a great way to create topics would be to ask John and Joan Q. Public what questions they would ask a professional organizer if they were asked...well, I'm asking :>)

What burning questions about organization do you have that I could answer on my blog?

First answer, yes, my house is organized :>)

Thank you!

Blogs and Newsletters - A way of gaining trust?

I had a meeting today with another Indie and we talked about our personal and business services. I spoke about the challenge I have with potential clients and the issue of trust. Because my services are so personal (getting into people's underwear drawer personal) many people are leary about trusting someone they've not met but read my blog or newsletter. Most of my clients are by-referral or they are just so desperate for help they don't care :>)

Question to all; Do you think that by posting regular newsletters and/or blogs that people can feel more comfortable and trusting in hiring someone who gets into their personal stuff? Is there a way to gain trust over the internet?

Is blogging better for this, is a newsletter, neither? Augh!
