After the Monday morning emailing is done, and all the coffee drunk…really it’s time to just GET TO WORK PETER.
I love getting strings of emails like this…
I love getting strings of emails like this:
“Hello. Quick question, how are you going to SEO my site? I have some suggestions I’d like you to follow.”
5 mins later..
“I just read your reviews. Ignore my previous question. You obviously know what you’re doing.”
Area pages & SEO
Sure it’s nice to have specific pages for each area you work in, but make sure they’re all totally unique, but still on topic! It’s harder than you’d think.
Identify rubbish clients
I use a site called People Per Hour rather a lot.
I’ve been on there for some years, and have found a pretty good way to isolate people who are going to be poor to work with.
100% of clients who write to me three times in a row without a response have been crap. Now, I suaully get back to all message son there within a couple of hours, so that gives you an idea of how quickly they’re trying to chase me up, even before I’ve had a chance to say hello.
Some people
I’m just finishing up with one of those clients who buys your service, but it transpires has no awareness of IT at all. Queue screenshots, videos, phone calls, documentation, repeating the same information several times over…
I pride myself on my patience, and being able to explain technical jargon in useful terms.
But when someone struggles to even use fullstops in their own correspondence, well, that should be a sign to stay away.
Blogilo
Not a lot of people know this, but I’m a full time Linux user. It’s awesome for web developemnt, I can create sites locally, testing them on the same infrastructure they’re likely to have on live servers.
I’m testing a new blogging client called Blogilo. I’ll review it later.
