Right now I am trying to get two businesses up and running. The main business I’m trying to promote would be my home transcription business and the second business that I have been working at is my small home crafting business. But with so much going on in my life lately, I really haven’t been working at these quite as much as I should be. I realize that to attract potential customers and clients, I need to advertise. And that’s the exact area where I have been slacking. So I have been checking around the Internet to see if I can find an award winning public relations company to help me out in this area.
Well I have found one that I really think I could work with. This company would give me all the exposure and publicity that I so desperately need and at a very reasonable cost. I think I will test them out with my home transcription company and if I get some results that I like, I will then let them have a go at my home crafting business. Any type of help like this will certainly help me out in the long run.
So once again I’ve put in another long day. For the past couple of days I have been seriously fighting a sever headache. I’ve taken pills, but this doesn’t seem to work. The only relief that I have been getting is by going to bed. But at 3:30 in the afternoon, this is really not an option. I know what the problem is, is that I can’t find my glasses. I spend a lot of time online and I know I’m getting the headaches because I’m not wearing my glasses. So…. I’m off to search for them. Hopefully I find them soon and can get rid of this headache before too much longer.
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, then you are well aware that I make homemade jewelry and other crafts and sell them from home. Lately this endeavour hasn’t really been working out in my favour. I have sold a few pieces of jewelry and a couple of quilts, but I really don’t have the business that I would like to have.
One thing that I have done is set up a dedicated website to sell my crafts from. I have managed a few sales through this website, but to increase sales, I’m thinking that I’ve got to bump things up a bit. One of the things that I have been looking at to increase sales is to start using a website credit card payment processing system. I have heard that by using credit cards to get payments from customers you can increase business. I have been checking out the www.braintreepaymentsolutions website to see what it would take for me to be able to start accepting credit cards as payment. It seems to be a very straightforward process and I have decided to try this out. Hopefully by offering the option to used credit cards, I can start having the sales that I’ve always dreamed about.
Well now that I’ve been doing my general transcription from home for a while, I have discovered that I really like doing this type of work so I’m pretty sure that I’m going to try to start up my own home transcribing business from home.
The first thing I need to do is to set up my home office properly. I have most of the items and equipment that I need to have to make this endeavour successful. But there are still a few pieces of equipment that I’m going to need. One of the first things I will need to purchase is a new phone. After checking around on the Internet for reasonably priced phones for my home office, I have decided to make my purchase from www.primelec.com. This site offers the very best used discount Avaya partner phone system as well as the most reasonably priced phones that I have been able to locate.
Once I have this purchase made, then I will be able to talk to prospective clients from my quiet office on a dedicated work phone line. I’m getting so excited just thinking about what I will be able to accomplish once I get my home office all set up.
