Hiring a Freelancer

One of the best ways to get work done by a specialist is to hire a freelancer. Freelancers often work from home and on their own schedules, making them uniquely suited to tackling your latest project.  Freelancers are a wonderful resource for the savvy business owner.  As they get paid by project instead of being on payroll, they often save the company money.  Not only that, but a freelancer is dependent on business owners who appreciate quality work and therefore they produce excellent results often for a bargain price.  Freelancers exist for nearly any skill set. Below are a few examples:

• Content
• Internet Marketing
• Sales Copy
• Graphics Design
• Art
• Animation
• Web Design
• PHP
• Android Apps

As we’ve clearly demonstrated, there is a freelancer for just about any project out there.  Finding a reliable freelancer in a hurry can be quite a challenge, though. It’s important to select a dedicated employee so that there aren’t any surprises mid-project.  Below are a few tips to help anyone looking for a freelancer get started:

Elance – Become familiar with this resource.  Elance is a great place to find freelancers in a short amount of time.  There are safeguards in place within their system that protect the employers and freelancers alike.  One of the best features for both employees and potential employers is the feedback system.  Checking out a prospective freelancer’s feedback gives the potential employer a very good idea of what to expect for their investment. 

Portfolios – A wise employer always asks for examples of a potential freelancers work and takes a look at any available portfolio on file.   Doing so allows you to rule out anyone not suitable for your project at glance.  Examples of a freelancers work give you a good feel for their professionalism, sense of style and attention to detail.

Discuss – Lastly, take the time to talk to the freelancer before hiring them. This gives both you and your potential employee an opportunity to determine if you will work well together.

Hiring a freelancer is often the most cost-effective, rewarding way to get a project a done.  Taking the time to do it right will save headaches for both you and your potential partner in the long run.

Getting the most out of my carry on luggage

Guest post written by Stacy Laughner


I'm a big believer in taking my luggage carry on when I can. I live a few states away from my parents now and that means I fly a little more often than most people do to visit their families. But these are often weekend trips, so I try my hardest to pack light so I won't have to pay to check a bag.

I'm always careful about checking the bags that I do carry and make sure that they fit the size restrictions once I have all my stuff packed in there. Right before my last trip about a week ago I was online looking up that stuff when I came across the website http://www.SatelliteInternetBroadband.com and after I browsed through it a little bit, I switched over my home internet service to the provider.

Normally, one of my carry on bags is a piece of rolling luggage, where I put most of my clothes and stuff like that. But I also take another bag to stow under the seat in front of me. I've found that canvas tote bags are good for that because you can stuff a lot into them easily.

Pet Star: Fun Show to Watch

The Author of this post is Freddy Savage

Pet Star is a great show to watch, in order to see the many talents of today's animals. This show always inspires me to make my own puppy become a talented animal of some sort. The tricks the animals on this show can do are amazing and will make any pet owner feel grossly inadequate. I love this show and always watch it on my Satellite TV from www.DirectStarTV.com.

This show takes place on Animal Planet. It is a great show to actually watch with one's pet. However, I have noticed that my pet actually gets a bit sad that she can not do the same sorts of tricks that other puppies can do on this show. The pets on this show do everything from singing to jumping the biggest leaps anyone has ever seen. This is a crazy show to watch for those with an interest in how animals develop their talents.

Overall, I love this show for how it challenges me as a pet owner. I have actually taught my pet a few tricks after watching this show and she has learned them readily. This is a fun show to watch for the pet owner who needs a bit of motivation to bond with his or her pet and teach them new tricks. After watching this show, one will never be able to stop teaching his or her pet tricks!

A Voice to Remember!

I am sure that everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming holiday season. Where exactly did the year go? We just celebrated Lucas's 5th birthday and I'm amazed at the little man he is growing into. All my kids amaze me! They are so awesome!

This will be an extremely short post as there are a million and one things I still need to do, but I wanted to point you in the direction of a voice that will make your heart flutter this Christmas season. I've already ordered her CDs and am listening to the included mp3 download as I type this.

Go to http://www.remembernoel.com. She is amazing! She is also going to be having a contest starting this week so you will want to make sure you subscribe so you don't miss the details!

Off I go, to do more STUFF.

In case I don't have a chance to get back here, everyone be sure to have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Till later, LIVE, LAUGH, and LOVE!
