I don’t think I’m the only person this week who is looking back at the year 2009 and wondering how it has passed so quickly. On the other hand, so much has happened that I didn’t foresee a year ago, including the creation of this blog and its rapid popularity. It seems only fitting that I close off the year by thanking the many people who have contributed to its success.
There’s something exciting about a new year: that blank calendar is just ripe with possibilities! Sometimes it’s fun to guess what will fill those calendar pages, but when it comes to marketing your business, it’s a good idea to have some type of plan. If one of your marketing strategies is blogging, advance planning can keep you from drawing a blank when it’s time to write a new post.
As I announced in Paper Planners: The Showdown, after much deliberation, I chose the myAgenda from momAgenda as my planner for 2010. If you’re still looking for a 2010 planner for yourself, a client, or someone else, be sure to read my review before making your decision.
Over the last couple of months, we’ve heard about professional organizer conferences in Africa, Australia, Los Angeles and Washington DC, and today we wrap up this year’s conference tour with the Professional Organizers in Canada Conference held in Calgary last month. It’s only fitting that our guest blogger is Jacki Hollywood Brown, whom I first met at a POC Conference a few years ago.
Here it is – the 7th Professional Organizers Blog Carnival, and the last one for 2009. We have a record number of professional organizers participating this month, and I’d like to thank those who are joining us for the first time, as well as our regulars and everyone in between! Grab your favorite beverage and get ready to read and enjoy!
More money exchanges hands in December than at any other time of year, but if you don’t sell products, how can a savvy business person get in on the holiday shopping frenzy? Many professional organizers get on board by selling gift certificates for their services, but is it really a good idea?
Now that it’s December, many of us are looking ahead to the new year, and starting to set goals to grow our businesses, buy a new home, improve our relationships with others, or make other positive life changes. At the same time, we’re trying to come up with clutter-free gifts for our clients and loved ones. I have a suggestion that may help you achieve both at the same time!
As I mentioned in a previous post, affiliate programs can be an effective way to supplement your regular earnings. Because there is time and effort involved in locating and registering for suitable programs as well as creating and promoting your affiliate links, today I’m going to share a few questions to consider which will help you choose programs that are most likely to give you a good return on investment.
