Maybe you can relate to this. You are always doing something. Paperwork, follow-ups, scheduling, marketing, ordering materials, on and on. Granted that sort of stuff needs to be done but does it ever end? There is no down time for the self-employeed, commission-based worker. Seems that we are alw

I first heard about Yelp a while back. I check out the web site and thought I'd give the free site a whirl. I approach many such sites the same way; sign up, kick the tires, and see how it can work for my business. I was getting some random hits in the first few months, but I wasn't actively pu

I've had the privilege of recording and editing some videos of apartment communities in the last year or so, this one was the first. I have learned a lot since this video, but this video has been working quite well for the apartment community. One of the reasons that it has been viewed over 130

This is a looking video that was recorded while working at Cameron Ridge Apartments in Cameron Park. I edited the video and posted to YouTube to help market the community. I occasionally post to Craigslist just to get some feedback from the public. It didn't take too long to put the whole thing t
