Marketing your page

The best advertisement these days is online. Any good business person knows that they need a web page for their business. Most people build one, or have one built for them, but then are disappointed when it doesn’t generate much business for them. Thinking they wasted their money, they then let the web page just sit dormant and do nothing with it. Small business marketing is not that difficult. It doesn’t really take a lot of know how, to make a page worth the money you pay for it. The worst thing you can do however, is give up too quickly.

Your page needs to be available to local search. This way, potential customers will find your page with ease, and help your business flourish. Every time someone searches for something that has to do with your products and services, your page should pop up in their search for your area. There are many different ways to accomplish this, as well as companies that can help you manage the traffic that you need to come to your page. You only need to look for them, in order to achieve your goals.

Revlocal is a company that does just that. They can help with many different aspects of marketing your page and helping to drive traffic. You don’t want to waste the money you paid to have your page built, so using a company to help with that only makes sense. Any good business owner knows that to make money, you have to spend money. Advertisement and marketing are the most important things you can do to help your business grow. So, use the tools available to you and your business will do just that. Make the decision today, to be the best entrepreneur that you can. I hope this helps everyone.

BPI Training

My sister is taking these classes to get bpi training certification. There are a lot of places that are trying to become more energy efficient. Some of them require home energy audits before the sale of a home as well as energy companies who want home owners to bring their houses up to bpi standards. Green Training USA is the company she is going through for her certification. I am considering this myself, as the quest to go green intensifies around the globe.

Professionals in this area are becoming more in demand each year. The BPI building envelope for specialist training and certification can be purchased online. You need only find a center near you and begin your classes. It doesn’t take that long as the class is only four hours long, with one full day of on site, hands on training. The fees include your exam fees as well as the sudy guide.

 

Acid Etched Glass

Acid etched glass can be used just about anywhere and is very popular with architects, interior designers and home owners. It allows lots of light in without having to worry about privacy issues. It is also very easy to keep clean as it does not pick up finger prints and such quite as much.

The etching process is really interesting. They start out with a regular piece of glass, perfectly clear. Then they use acid to make whatever design the client has requested. It can be done on one or both sides of the glass. It is all according to what you like. The acid eats away at the top layer of the glass, making it cloudy so that you cannot see through it. You can’t even feel it either, because it is left so smooth. It really is a revolutionary texture process. If you were to put it under a microscope, you would see the hills and valleys created by the acid. Yet it is so fine that you cannot see it with the naked eye.

Using interior glass doors that have been acid etched can make your space look larger and softens the light as well from one room to another. Weather you use it for a door in your bathroom, or a cabinet door the look is clean and still provides the privacy you want. They can even be used as a table top or a shower door.

Acid etched glass can be used in businesses as well. It can be used as doors, walls, flooring, stairs, or windows. The applications for this glass is virtually limitless and the look is beautiful and clean throughout. It gives a very modern look to any home or office.  It doesn’t matter if it is remodeling or newly built, acid etched glass is everywhere.

Drats

I broke a nail this morning making coffee. Don’t ask me how I could possibly break a nail making coffee, but I did. I have had a long struggle with my nails. I used to bite them when I was younger and they are not very strong. They are getting better all the time though since I quit biting them. I try to keep polish on them to help keep them from breaking, but that doesn’t always work. I am going to have to re-paint them later, however I have to wait until I am done working on the computer. Nail painting and typing do not mix well.

I think I will go with a nice bronze color today. Something with a little sparkle in it too. I much prefer polish with a little sparkle in it.

Work work work

Finally work is picking up. I am so happy about that. This summer has been so slow for work that I have been pinching pennies because of it. I was hoping that work would pick up as school started and I was right. School is just about to start and all of a sudden work has begun to flow better. Just in time too, because I have school supplies to buy for the kids.

Insurance

Well I have to look for business insurance for my brothers company. He has gotten dropped from his other insurance company and has to find a new one fast. I take care of a lot of this stuff for him as his wife is pregnant with another baby and though she usually runs the office, she is having to spend more time on bed rest. This pregnancy is a bit more difficult than the last one, so I will pick up the slack to help them out.

Job hunting

Job hunting can be a pain now a days. There are few people hiring and a lot of those jobs require that you apply online. Some people do not have access to a computer and the libraries only give you so much time to use their computers. The applications sometimes have skills assessment tests that take that long after you fill out the application portion. I feel for those who have to use this medium to apply for jobs.

Searching for used equipment

Well, I have to search for used construction equipment for sale. We have a some down at work and don’t have time to wait for them to be fixed. We could rent some, but to be honest we have been in need of back ups for a while. I found a backhoe for sale already and I am looking for used trucks for sale as well. I have so much work that needs to get done and no equipment to get it done with.

I think I am going to look for a used skid steer as well while I am at it. We have been needing one of those for a while now and the time has come to purchase one. We can’t afford to have our employees out because of equipment failure. No matter though, as I will have that taken care of by the end of the day.

Slow start this morning

Gosh I really have gotten a slow start this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed at all and I have so much work to do. I got side tracked yesterday with the kids and work kind of slid off to the side. Today I have to really get on it. I am backed up so far it will take the rest of the week to catch up. No matter though, I have my coffee and I am ready to rock and roll!

Money

I hate to stress over money. My man is having problems with his job and it is stressing me out. His boss can’t keep him with forty hours a week and he would probably make more money on unemployment. Add to that the fact that my man is being very closed mouth about what is going on. He hasn’t been to work all week and will not tell me if he quit already or his boss just doesn’t have any work this week. Usually he tells me everything, but not right now. That is jacking my stress level up to over load. Ready to pop a vein right now. grr
