What do you do when someone harasses you...

I’ve wondered from time to time if some people follow me just to put up hate mail, or comment every time I do something they don’t like. I don’t intentionally go out into the world to piss people off. It doesn’t stop people from complaining about my occasional typos or bad grammar. Nor does it stop someone from telling me they hate my design skills. On occasion I’ve been told I’m everything from pretty, to ugly, to stupid or that I just look like a dumb blonde. For the most part I try to take it in stride and ask myself if I did...

A few tips if you intend to sell via ema...

Dear Spam, Why do you think I need a web designer? Hi, There is the least professional starter for any email right along with sir/ma’am spelled incorrectly (I’m a Miss if you you must never been a Mrs.). I receive enough of these types of emails that you are going to be the special recipient of my critiquing. If your company has a website, get custom email addresses even if it is just ONE email address that looks like [email protected] and forward all return mail back to your gmail addresses. It’s super cheap to do this. You can get 100 for...

Well I guess I’ve already started this post off on the wrong foot being that I fully intend to be the jackass in this post. I get a lot of nice tweets, comments and emails but every so often I get someone who hates the material, medium, my grammar or just wants to be a jerk.

Getting Paid, Building Contracts, and Cl...

I understand the concern of a company not wanting to pay out large amounts of cash up front, wait no I don’t, and here is why. When I start a project with someone think of that first payment as a retainer, deposit, or good faith to get you started. If you are working for a company and are not on their pay roll this is your salary. It is my salary and how I pay my bills. Payments There are a few ways I normally offer to do payment plans. 50% up front and once it’s half way done another 25% and then the final 25% before the project is handed over to the client...

Learning to be an Effective Manager who ...

When I was younger my parents sent me to all kinds of etiquette and leadership building camps, classes and workshops. I grew up in clubs like 4-H, Girl Scouts, FFA, IAYI, sports, and chess clubs. This is where you ask me, “Why are you listing off your past when I thought this post was about management.” Don’t worry I have a point and I’m getting there. These clubs all have a few things in common: leadership, commitment, team work, and a sense of etiquette. These organizations also all like to teach people through exercises. In my first ...
