    I don't think this is allowed, but..

    A massive number of companies offer similar incentives to introducers / affiliates. As long as you are not in a regulated industry there really shouldn't be a problem. You should take a look at a few people who are doing it & find out what small print they have. You should also possibly talk to...

    Project management - Alternatives to basecamp

    Hi there, I'm looking for a good project management system to keep a close track on things. Ideally it will have a client front end, time keeping and some sort of email-tracking. I'm looking at basecamp at the moment, but I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any alternatives to it. This...

    Your politics determine your understanding of economics

    a - 1 b - 1 c - 1 d - 1 e - 4 f - 4 g - 4 h - 3 In politics, I'm also sure that having your own company makes you much more likely to lean to the right.

    Using gmail, hotmail or other private ISP's for your business email

    I use Google apps for my business email and it's great. This is very different to a 'gmail' account - my emails come from my main domain, and are hosted in a different place. This is very different to [email protected] - mine come from [email protected]. I've got about 25 people working for...

    Responsible Society

    Ok - if you want to open a company somewhere in the 3rd world - most of the time you just do it & sort out all the legal stuff later on. I opened a company in the Philippines and I was pretty shocked by how easy it all is, and I did everything by the book. All the rules were simple & at no stage...

    Interview technique assistance please

    I have a simple rule for interviewing people - get them (as much as possible) to show you what they would do the job like. I'm sick of hiring people who promise the world and just can't do the job. Get them going through a few role plays to see how they do. Also - and I know this is hard - try...

    Emergency!!!Need some advice on marketing my company

    As people have said - 20,000 visitors and not being happy with the sales means something is wrong with either the traffic or your website. Have you thought about giving people a special offer if they leave their email or sign up to a facebook page? It would seem to me that you've got a great...

    seo bring business

    The people I know who do best with SEO, do something like this: 1. Use SEO in a very targeted way to bring traffic to their site - when I say 'targeted' is import to focus on people who are really looking to buy. You can also use PPC here if you want to get a move on with things. 2. Make...

    Hi from the Pearl of the Orient! Philippines!

    Hi there - I have a little company in the Philippines, and I do love working with Filipinos. It's a great combination with the UK, as everything in the UK is so expensive and labour costs are so much lower in the Philippines.

    Do clients want to merge Social marketing, PR and SEO?

    I think that this works both ways - if a company has enough money for a PR push, they should make totally sure that they get the most money from it. It's quite a simple job to make sure that the articles link to the right sides and have the right keywords. It's also good to be able to have ways...

    Any ideas how much a website will cost?

    You've got 3 choices in the 'free/open source' side of things: 1. Wordpress - very easy to get started on it, but slightly limited functions on it. 2. Joomla - pretty easy to use, most functions although and you can do most things on it. 3. Drupal - harder to use and you can do almost anything...
