www.biggirlbranding.comPinterest: An Entrepreneur’s Dream?
Howdy doody all. OK so I am definitely not yet on the Pinterest bandwagon as yet (still waiting on that invite Pinterest! Hint. Hint.) however all I see and read about lately is Pinterest this, Pinterest that. So when Tom approached me regarding a guest post on the very topic, I said sure, I’d be happy to run it because I might learn a thing or two along with you guys! Entrepreneurs live for new tools right? That said… see below for the extremely thoughtful post by Tom, back for his second...
This is a guest post by an old buddy named Nick Thacker. Since I’m all about leverage and teaching yourself to work smarter (not harder) I thought this was a great fit for BGB readers. And since this blog is about biz and branding… well how could I resist?! So cop a squat, whip out your granny glasses, and get to readin’. And when you’re done, be sure to drop a thought in the comment area below this post. It’s kind of like dropping a quarter in the old tip jar… only you’re making Nick feel...
This is a guest piece contributed by the lovely Jennifer, who recently launched her own fab blog, Life After Tampons. (So adore that name!) My goal was to run it yesterday in honor of International Women’s Day, but I’ll be the first to admit I don’t always meet every goal I set. LOL However, a day late doesn’t always mean a dollar short, so here ’tis my lovelies. Hope you enjoy and please make Jennifer feel welcome in the comments below. Have you ever felt like you apologized more than your...
This is a guest post courtesy of Miz Sara Mackey on exactly how you can come up with that pesky little thing called money to fund your start-up idea. Yes it involves those damn business plans. Yes it involves potentially begging your family and friends for a wad of cash. Just remember to give them Sara’s disclaimer and make them aware they may not get their investment back! And as a final thought, if you can’t keep business separate from personal when it comes to working with family, you...
Howdy ladies and gents. I know I’ve been a bit of a slacker when it comes to giving ya’ll good shite to read with your coffee on a regular sort of schedge (that’s writer slang for schedule, FYI) but in my defense, I’ve been dealing with quite a lot of personal stuff that I won’t bore you with. The short of it is, it seems since my Dad died the hits keep coming. But I have faith they keep coming for a reason, and God has a plan. Maybe the goal is to make me the toughest biatch on the planet!...
This is a guest post by the lovely Marina, on a few ideas she’s used successfully to make money as a freelance writer. The caveat- she does it WITHOUT selling her soul to a content farm, and guess what? You can too, yo! Please drop any thoughts or questions in the comments area below. On June 16, 2011, TheFasterTimes.com posted an article by Oliver Miller, a self-described “content slave.” The article details how he had been recruited as a content writer for AOL Television. For $35,000 a...
This is a guest post courtesy of Derryck of BigStarCopywriting.com. (Love the spelling of his name, don’t you?) He approached me about writing a guest post for BGB, and when he offered this particular topic, I thought it a great fit and so immediately agreed. I’ve been struggling a bit myself in the creativity department, not really from lack of ideas, but lack of motivation. However, I know MANY who struggle in the idea department as well, and so… Derryck’s tips just might help you find a...
This is a guest post from Stephanie on intangible benefits, and how you can use them to inspire customer interest and loyalty with your brand. Granted it’s not always easy to pinpoint those intangibles (meh… maybe that’s why they are called intangible!) but once you do you can learn to highlight and use them to your business advantage. People are rarely interested in a play-by-play of a product or service’s features. They are however interested in themselves and what can benefit them in an ofte
