Ssigns that indicate that you were charging too little. In this occasion Freelance Switch tells us the opposite.Number 10:
To justify the price on your quotes, you’ve started writing extra words that usually mean the same thing…

You’re still living off a job you finished in 2005.
Number 8:
Even large clients ask to pay you in installments.

Yet another good tool I stumbled across on Google’s search results. Since my Wordpress does not have a word count plugin installed at the time, I had to manually count the words in my article before I posted it. I kept loosing track and going cross-eyed as I was counting the words in my written article. I then decided to see if I come up with a tool or anything on the web to count the words in my article. Found this great web tool, Word Count Tool!Â

Stumbled across SmartPageRank.com on google’s search results. Been looking for a good google page ranker for a long time now. The other page ranking sites that I have came across have massive ads just popping up in my face. Hope this site becomes useful to some of you readers.

Found PayPerPost.com on Google’s search engine results, signed up, waited for blog approval, and bam, my blog got approved! As a stay at home unemployed mom living on one income coming from the hubby, I signed up with PayPerPost in hopes to make a few extra money on the side from doing something that I love, and yes, that’s right, BLOGGING! If all goes well with what I earn, my priority is, getting this blog a domain name and hosting. Then the rest will go to my bills. Yes I got bills too. Being as a newbie to PayPerPost, what I love so far is that they have all kinds of different opportunites to blog about, so this should get me busy, and hey, other than earning money by doing something I love, my typing skills will also improve much more, and my knowledge on computer, graphic design, and web development will rise to a greater level. This would require me to do a lot of reading and researching. I’d like to see other PayPerPost bloggers, and how they did with blogging for PayPerPost. I will also post an update later in time to blog about how I am doing so far with PayPerPost. In the meantime, enjoy this post and get paid for blog reviews.

One of hardest things to do is to promote your own art. Many designers fear doing this because: NOBODY KNOWS ME. Relax! There are many ways to let people know you-1. Blog: this is the best and most of time free-promoting engine.
2. Send E-mails to your family and friends: let them know what type of work you’re now doing (do not SPAM).
3. Send publications: try to find clients anywhere, and to get hired just give your %101. Give your best and some more, so you get good critics and future references.
4. Be a welcome writer: If you go for the Blog option, it’s very likely that many people won’t know about you, or how good your articles are. This is why many people start writing for other blogs so they become more famous.
5. Cooperate: Remember that NOT everything is money in the world of publicity, if you help someone by giving him/her one of your designs, this will also be advertisement for you.
6. Do alliances with other freelancers: The more the merrier.
7. Teach: Do not be selfish, transmit your knowledge and you’ll also learn as well.
8. Join organizations.
9. Create a “buzzâ€: make people talk about you, call other’s attention. Think Paris Hilton.
10. Contact potential customers.

Trazos Web is telling us 4 basic steps for our web site to become a #1. Personally I agree with them all, I hope you do as well.Step #1: Good content - We always talk about the tools that you can use in your Blog, products and services to keep success, but keep in mind there’s no magical tool to make your visits go up, if your product is worthless. Without good content, no one will achieve success.
Step #2: Self control - A big amount of bloggers use Blogspot to have their domain and place their blogs, it’s a very good idea to have your own domain, you’ll have your own thing and you’ll be more recognized. Without a good web hosting, even a perfectly executed promoting campaign will not bring the expected results. You web site should have it’s own name and domain to achieve success.
Step #3: Be sociable - Once you have accumulated a good amount of content and your site has a little recognition, then you can start and focus on promoting your web site. Been social also includes talking with other bloggers about your sites, telling them to visit your site and to check it out so you can share ideas and thoughts about it.
Step #4: Be patient - Success doesn’t come during the first 24 hours of exposure. If you have followed the steps mentioned above, everything you need to do now is to keep on posting great content to give the public a good reason to go to your web site.
