    You Tube/Video hints and tips

    I agree with you that the video has to be visible. I'm relatively new to video promotion, and am bimbling in the dark to an extent. I have noticed that Youtube videos feature well in Google searches. Part of the description for the video is also displayed. This led me to believe that putting...

    You Tube/Video hints and tips

    Here's one tip, the only one I know. Make sure the first thing in the details section of your video is a link to your site. It needs to be the full link including http:// to make it clickable. If you don't use http:// it will only show as text.

    Free online website builder needed!

    Try Weebly.com. If like me, you bought your domain through Microsoft Office Live, they are resellers for Melbourne IT, and you will have to transfer the registration to them. They want US$150 for two years registration. I had problems with the transfer and submitted two requests for assistance...

    How do other people in your trade treat eachother?

    I find most people in this industry to be good. Locally we help each other quite a bit. We share tech advice freely with each other, help out where we can and pass leads on if they aren't what we want ourselves.

    I need some advice on new options please.

    I currently have a small website with Microsoft Office Live, and I've had an email to say that Office Live will be replaced with 365. The costs for 365 are quite a bit more than for Office Live and for what is essentially an ego trip website I don't think I can justify the extra costs...

    avoiding charging vat.

    Barrie is correct as a sole trader, but if you set up a Ltd company or a partnership then that is making a seperate legal entity and as long as the product/service sold isn't the same as your other interests there will be no problem.

    How is your bank treating you?

    Nat West aren't the only ones. I've banked with Yorkshire since 1984. A small overdraft, secured with assets worth at least 20x the overdraft limit, suddenly became unsecured at double the rates I had been paying. This overdraft had never been exceeded and I was well able to afford it...

    Petrol in a diesel car!!

    It's not a difficult job to do, just time consuming to pump out the tank and flush through with fresh diesel. The mechanic in my yard must do a couple a month and charges £150, and he says it's easy money.

    Our Cars

    It depends on what your business is. My customers are only too pleased to see me arrive to sort out their problems. They don't care what I arrive in, which is currently a scruffy 1971 MGB GT.

    I'd just like to say

    A big thank you to Jon (lockyer on here) for his prompt service and superb prices. He's saved me over a grand on my insurance and I'm very happy about that. I've no connection with his company apart from a being very satisfied customer.

    Fed Up !

    I'd go for the downsize option too. I did it a few years ago and never regretted it. Had seven vans on the road, eight staff and nothing but hassle, aggravation and cashflow worries. Now there's just myself and my wife, No hassle no debt. I'm not making quite as much money as before, but my...

    How do you switch off?
