Comment on How a Virtual Business Can Make Your Home Based Business Look Like an S&P500 by Rebecca Hammonds

My partner and I started a company together and we both work out of our home. We did not want to spend a lot of money on a phone system. We did some research and we signed up for a virtual pbx service online. We configured the system in less then a half hour including getting our greetings recorded. The virtual pbx system helps us sound more professional and streamlined our communications.

Nice and simple explanations. Too many people think government contracting is scary and difficult. Also, starting with subcontracting is great too. It gets you close to the action and puts you in a position to learn from someone with the experience.

Comment on Local Marketing: Learn How to Unleash the Power of Twitter! by JackieBiz

Thank you! I’m not sure if you had a chance to read my “Unleash the Power of Twitter ” video/report. There I describe in detail how I use Twitter. The biggest mistake people make when using Twitter is trying to sell right away. It’s like meeting someone in the street and asking them to marry you without even knowing them. You see, you first have to get a phone number, then maybe date a little and then maybe take the relationship one step further.

This is how Twitter works. It is a place where you meet people, build relationships, build your brand, show them who you are, and then invite them to a setting (in my case my blog) where you can strengthen the relationship. Twitter also allows you to meet incredible people. In my case in January alone, I already have a radio interview, I am moderating a woman’s empowerment program…just to name a few. That is how you get massive exposure. Trying to sell from the get go, all that accomplishes is turning people off and scaring them away. You have to provide incredible content and be really transparent so that people will want to buy from you, AFTER you have built your brand and the relationship, not the other way around.

My sincere congratulations. But the question that interests me most is: Has Twitter (and having that many followers) made you money? Are you getting more customers/clients?

Jackie, we are honored that the chamber selected us this year as the Home Based Business! I think our secret to working at home is to “not stay home”. We communicate, we network, we email, we tweet & facebook. We also have partners with other businesses that compliment each other & help our clients. Our networks know know who we are & in addition we also stay on top of the trends for design & communications. Actually – I really don’t think my husband & I would have it any other way.
