With our latest additions this month we've got something for everyone; whether you're starting out on a new business venture, looking to expand you existing business or making the most of your online presence these new articles will give you some handy pointers:
10 Steps to Startup Success
Nothing is certain in business. Even with your great idea, thorough research and hours of work this rule will remain true. There is no way of telling if a new product will succeed, how investors will recieve a startup idea or whether a company will last past the one-year mark. However there are ways of increasing the chances of your business success.
Cold Calling Strategies
There are plenty of other effective ways to avoid cold calling, but eventually you're going to have to break into a new account, and you might not know someone who can make the introduction. Here are some strategies that could help.
Directory Link Building
When linkbuilding a good place to start is by submitting to directories. There are a number of factors to consider to determine whether a directory is worth submitting your website to. Find out more about these factors with our handy guide.
Try submitting your site to our suggested directories.

Raising Money For Amani Children's Home
Throughout this year I am going to be fundraising for the Amani Children's home in Tanzania. These fundraising events will include running half marathons, sponsored bike rides, and climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.
Amani Children's Home takes care of orphans and street-children at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It rescues children from malnutrition, homelessness, and abuse. Amani supports over 140 children and is committed to providing a safe place for children to grow in mind, body and spirit.
