Unbelievable, I have got some Halloween invitations. It’s only July.

The invitations came from kids whom I had taught using Brain Respiration. Though it’s been more than half year since I stopped giving tuition, the kids still remember me. Their parents still hope that I can change my mind and go back to teaching again. No way.

I am very happy with my online work that there is no way I will return to teaching. Picking pink stuffs or unique pink gifts for my niche blogs has been one of my favorite daily routines now. It is definitely more fun than teaching kids.

I am glad to have joined over 20 million USA workers to earn a living from the comfort of the home based office and doing business transactions in pyjamas and slippers.

If you are like me working from your home, then make sure you take your  office seriously. The more seriously you take your office, the better your clients will feel about signing that big contract on the desk between you. Make this the year you toss out the rusty folding chairs and bring in the elegant leather office chairs and visitor chairs that say, “take a seat and take me seriously.”

Comb your hair, put on that gorgeous silk tie and sit down to face your clients knowing your image is one of quality. Leather office chairs exude the very virtues home-based professionals strive to convey to the public: strength, solidity and superior service.

It is widely acknowledged that small business is the engine of job creation and economic health today. With a sophisticated, mobile workforce and limited resources for dedicated phone answering staff, small business needs advanced Call Center VoIP Phone Systems as much as its larger counterparts do.

Most small companies are forced to cobble together telephone solutions with a combination of multi-line telephones, answering machines and costly monthly telephone company services.

Why? The answer lies in the size; small business is too small for the big traditional telephone systems, and the scaled-down solutions that the industry has produced so far still have price tags that are too big for small business budgets.

Xpander Communications provides a whole new way of approaching VoIP Call Center Phone Systems. Nimbus VoIP Call Center edition produces the lowest upfront cost possible, which means more cash in the bank!

Nimbus VoIP Call Center phone systems require no additional investment for moves, adds, or any kind of changes to the entire call center; thus eliminating all maintenance and labor contracts!

My sister’s company has recently used cpm software to monitor and manage the organization’s performance. Employees can track individual and project performance relative to corporate goals and strategies using cpm software.

Historically, CPM software was used within finance departments. But it is now designed to be used enterprise-wide, often as a complement to business intelligence systems.

CPM software includes forecasting, budgeting and planning functions, as well as graphical scorecards and dashboards to display and deliver corporate information.

My credit card debts have dropped to $41,000 from $63,809. To pay off my credit card debts fast, I am desperate to make even more money online.

After blogging for about a year now, I think I am well-prepared to set up my own online stores selling handwoven handicrafts, dried flowers or handmade jewelry which are only found in Cameron Highlands. I see the possibility of making money because of the uniqueness of local products which can’t be found else where in the world.

I have bookmarked some shopping cart software websites so that I can compare prices, features, benefits and most important of all, security features.

Using an ecommerce shopping cart software company that provides 100% security to shoppers is vital. If shoppers feel safe at the shopping cart service, I bet they will shop and make their online payments without much worries.

I was recommended to check out Ashop Commerce that offers a complete solution to merchants to sell online. In fact I bookmarked this shopping cart software websites a few months earlier.

I am attracted by their award winning features which allow me to build an online store capable of competing with the web’s most powerful sites for a simple, low monthly fee. Money factor is to be considered carefully. There is only a monthly store fee and a once off setup fee. There are no hidden costs such as per transaction fees.

I also want my store to have a guaranteed 99.8% uptime with daily backups so that my business and sales will not be interrupted.

I was out of town for a week and just rushed back. This time, hubby and I are moving all our stuffs back to our old house. We are leaving Cameron Highlands next week.

We are going to miss Cameron Highlands because we have been here for more than 5 years. Well, hubby has better job offer including a company truck customized with stainless steel tonneau cover, housing allowance, meal allowance and a cell phone.

Businesses have to give customers and co-workers different phone numbers for the office and mobile phones, each with separate voicemail systems, both of which are costing the company extra money every month.

Not all of the news is bad, though. A select few companies have realized that the very small business is underserved, and they’ve been producing small business systems that make sense.

VoIP Call Center Phone Systems are excellent phone systems for small business to be had in the market, if you know what to look for. (more…)

My buddy can finally get away from his work and enjoy short trips once in a while. He used to work overtime all the time to manage complex financial functions including consolidation, job costing, allocations and currency management.

Fortunately, his boss decided to use corporate performance management solutions to replace the cost of endless overtime required by the staff.

By opting for corporate performance solutions that specialize in budgeting, forecasting, reporting, consolidation, personnel planning and other financial functions, his boss is able to the total cost spent on overtime. Similarly, my buddy can spend more time with his family after working hours.

A blogging pal who is running a few online stores shared with me that it is vital for her businesses to reach the targeted market using Mailing Lists. Hitting the right consumers means increasing chances of making sales, and thus income.

No wonder I always receive hot deals on hotels, flights, holiday packages, or car rentals…:P I think they have reached the right traveler.

I was given Martin Worldwide’s website address as I may start my online stores selling local handicrafts and holiday packages in near future. By then, I will also buy customized mailing lists, telemarketing lists or fax lists to achieve higher response rates and business opportunities.

Last year, my sister asked me to help her write a good resume. I nearly fell off my chair when I heard her request. She must have been kidding ! My command of English is not as good as she thought.

I had to turn down her request and referred her to Resume Centre of Monster where there are valuable resume tips for different professions and resume dos and don’ts.

As expected, my sister was surprised to find that she could send her resume dilemmas and questions to the Resume Expert Martin Buckland. She spent the whole night reading all the Resume Essentials and eventually she was proud to be able to write out an outstanding resume that landed her the new job as a Company Secretary.

These few weeks, she has been browsing through the job listing in the hope of landing a job in Hong Kong, China, Canada or Singapore. There are just too many choices for her as Monster has the largest database of job listing. I bet international companies will be interested in hiring a professional Company Secretary who is fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka,Hokkien and our national language.

By clicking the ‘Find Jobs‘ tab, she can find jobs by keyword, location, industry and company categoryind Jobs’. She also has an opportunity to enter her specific search criteria and then review matching job postings.

Similarly, Monster has the most job seekers per job posting in the industry, therefore employers who post job can get access to the largest resume database in Canada and highly qualified candidates who may not be actively searching for a job.

Monster helps Canadian organizations by offering them information about what works online , thus hiring the best and most qualified candidates.
