What Is the Best Career for You?
The best career is when you match your skills and interests. You could look for careers that have high growth such computer technology, healthcare, biotechnology, fire or police. After all, they are high paying and there is more opportunity for promotion. It sounds great, but if you are not interested and do not have the skills you will not be a good candidate. Success is performing your job well! Choosing a career is something that requires more than five (5) minutes!

How Design Impacts Blog Readership
This is a guest contribution from Damion Wasylow. You have things to say, ideas to spread and concepts to share. That’s why you’re a blogger. But, if you’re like most bloggers, you’re much better with words than visuals. As a result, many bloggers’ sites are poorly designed or rely on simple templates. Your content may bring people to your blog, but poor design and usability can seriously limit your readership. First Impressions are Everything Studies show that new visitors develop an opinion of your website within 50 milliseconds. That’s 0.05 seconds. In that time, they make judgments about credibility, professionalism and quality of information – all without ever reading a single word you wrote. If the first impression isn’t positive, they’ll almost certainly bounce away, and it’s unlikely they’ll
Bad Credit Debt Help – Simple Steps for a Complicated Situation
If you are searching for resources on bad credit debt help, it is quite likely that you have faced at least a few financial complications during the course of your lifetime. Unexpected job loss, hour reductions in the workplace, injury, illness, and even a death of a loved one could result in immense financial complications that leave many struggling to pay off loans, credit cards, and even utilities. Unfortunately, lenders, credit card companies, and other types of financial institutions are not typically very forgiving when it comes to the money that they feel is rightfully theirs. If you are unable to pay that which you are responsible, it is often immediately reported to one or more credit bureaus. Naturally, these reports put unproductive dings in your credit
How Being An In-House SEO is Different from Agency SEO
As an SEO consultant, your job is not limited to acquiring better visibility for a website in SERPs; your job is also to bring in more leads and sales for the business. The role as an agency-based SEO consultant is very different than an in-house consultant, so if you’re just making the transition to a career as an in-house SEO consultant, here are a few things you should know. There Are No Clients This sounds like an obvious statement, but in my experience this can have a major impact on your daily routine. When you’re working at an SEO agency, your daily routine includes a list of clients to whom you send daily project updates and check in with via email, as well as
Have You Ever Thought of Politics as a Career?
Have you ever thought of politics as a career? There are a lot of jobs that pay well with excellent health benefits and other perks. Similar to many public service careers, you have a lot of time off too. Many of the high profile careers are elected positions, but not all. Every city, county and state also has similar positions to run their government. Are you interested? Employment statistics have changed in the last couple of decades! Many workers joined the federal government for a variety of reasons. The federal government offers good pay, benefits and a good career. If you are interested in politics, you have a lot of choices. You can start in your own community and increase your skills. Many politicians begin in staff
4 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Domain Name
When there’s more than 284 million registered domain names online, you’re going to want yours to stand out. But you also want to be easily remembered, have a URL that accurately describes your business, and it would help if it ranks well in Google. Right? Right. It’s very easy to buy a domain name that you come to regret later. What was useful and fashionable years ago suddenly is unwieldy and a pain in the butt to describe now. You might take what you can get if your favoured domain is already taken, only for that to expire later on and you’re stuck with one you don’t like. Even worse, you could pay a great deal more for it later, or even spend
10 Lessons From 10 Years Of Hiring Freelancers
Want to scale your online business quicker? Then get help! Nobody reaches the top on their own. There are many ways to go about it.

All these investments pay for themselves within days… Play the long game where you think past making a buck today, so that you can make 10 bucks tomorrow. Here are my top 10 tips for having the best freelancer experience: 1. Expensive
Ok Udemy Doesn’t Suck After All (for me)
A couple years ago my good friend, Dan Martell, told me he was investing in a new site called Udemy. A marketplace type site where you can upload your courses and sell them to people. They handle customer support, refunds, merchanting and all of that. There seems to be a couple of these that come along every year and they all reach out to me (and im sure anyone who has training products online for sale) and I ignore them. I HATE THESE BUSINESS MODELS Why? You basically build their business for them. You upload all your content, promote it to your people/family/friends whatever, send them a bunch of buyers, take your cut, but now they have your list of buyers. And they proceed to
Goals in One Word
That’s right, pick one word for your goals! Goals are something I do every day all year long. I know a lot about goals because I achieved all the important ones in my life. I know that sounds a little arrogant, but it is true. I was not my high school valedictorian nor did I graduate college phi beta kappa either. I was just the most determined person in the room and it worked! Impossible is just an opinion (Paulo Coelho). This is my mantra for dealing with difficult situations. I have achieved the impossible many times and continue to work on a number of impossible projects. When I was thirty-one (31) years old, I wanted to achieve financial freedom before I reached forty years
3 Content Tweaks to Increase Your Blog Traffic without Spending a Penny
This is a guest contribution from Jawad Khan. Who doesn’t like more traffic? Not matter how many monthly blog visitors you have, you still want more.
