Web Design, Development and Brand Awareness

Since as far back as I can remember, front-end design trends have changed year by year. It seems that once a particular design style gains prominence, every man and his dog jumps on the proverbial bandwagon. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Sometimes it goes horribly wrong and let’s face it, most amateur web designers have the design eye of a newt and should learn from the developers at Ditto Digital SEO consultancy. One thing […]

Make Your Blog Outstanding

I have been searching for new blogs, and I am amazed by how much of what is on page 1 for Google is not really adding great value. It seems that there is a national trend to build blogs that pretend to be the font of all knowledge, but are really not. These sites regurgitate information about a specific topic without adding anything new or useful to the reader. Thankfully not all blogs are the […]

Top Small Business Ideas

Small Business Ideas

Small businesses are already exploding and set to become an even greater part of the job scene in the coming years as more and more people look for ways to get out of the rat race and start taking back control of their lives. The idea that you have to work regular hours for one employer at their location has long been cast aside.

Whatever service you choose to offer the options are endless for anyone with knowledge and experience – just some examples are:

Removals service

Help busy people pack and move to a new home – find out how to do it in the most efficient way with this Ultimate Guide to Moving House.

Accountancy Service

With accountants fees typically high it was natural that small businesses would seek an alternative and freelance accountants have provided just that by offering online accounting services for a lower price.

Become A Live-In Carer

There are opportunities in the elderly care sector as a self-employed Live-in Carer. This type of care is becoming increasingly popular among senior people who do not want to go into a residential care home when they become frail and in need of care. There is a growing demand for carers to either visit elderly people every day in their homes to help them with their care needs. This can be for a few hours a day delivering home care services or even on a full-time basis when live-in care is an alternative to a residential care home.

Private Tutor

There are millions of people – children and adults – who need help with one subject or another. It might be help with maths for a child soon to sit important exams – it might be an older adult wanting help using the internet and social media. Or someone wishing to learn a new language from a native speaker.

Top tips you can learn from a project manager

top tips

No matter what job you do it always helps to know a bit about project management. Even if you never plan to be a proper project manager we all need some PM skills from time to time to help us with our daily jobs. Whether you are a sales person who has attended all the latest sales training courses to improve your selling skills, an entrepreneur starting up a business, or just a blogger, work will go more smoothly if you have some basic project management knowledge. You don’t need any fancy tools – just a spreadsheet will do.

The most imprtant bit of advice is to manage the expectations of your customers and clients. You don’t need to attend project management training courses if you are only using project management to streamline your work in another role. But something you can learn from basic project management principles is to manage the expectations of those around you. Don’t promise something you can’t deliver and if something goes wrong make sure you tell people before it becomes an unmanageable problem.
