Linkswitch – Business Switch



In this weeks Linkswitch I’ll be covering some of the best finds I’ve come across for those of you that want to broaden your business savvy!

Do you have to make a presentation or pitch and need to know the basics? Paul Enderson from Reflections will help you cover all your bases.

If you’re looking for some passive income and have some wisdom to share then you might want to consider writing an eBook.

Designers and developers often seem to speak different languages to one another. This article gives some great tips on how to communicate effectively and hopefully make your project work.

There’s a great article on Go Media’s blog about Driving Web Traffic For Beginners. We all think that after working so hard on a site that the masses will just appear out of thin air, but the truth is that you’ve got to be a bit savvy. You could write a book about this, but this article will teach you the basics.

Shane’s done it again, with this fantastic article: A Freelancer’s Guide to Sales: Using Which-Craft.

Samuel at Wake Up Later has some great tips for would-be freelancers in Going Freelance: Rules of Preparation.

If all the business leaves you wanting a little light entertainment, check out The Key to a Successful Freelance Career: A Diary. I think we all have days that feel like this (except perhaps the drinking in the afternoon).
