What to do when you Have too Much on your Plate

As you may have noticed, it has been about a month since my last post. Unfortunately (or is it), I have been so busy with regular projects that I have been unable to post as often as I would like.

This leads to one very important question: what can you do when you have too much on your plate?

On one side of the equation, a lot of work is a good thing. This means your clients love you and that you are earning good money. Of course, it also means you are forced to work more hours. Is this something you are comfortable doing?

When you have too many projects and not enough time, here are three tips to follow:

1. Focus on the tasks that are essential to getting every project completed on time (forget about everything else).

2. Need an extension? If so, don’t be afraid to ask your client. Typically, I am able to avoid this situation but it does come about from time to time. Just remember one thing: you need to ask for an extension. Don’t simply assume that this is okay.

3. Extend your work hours. This is pretty obvious, right? While you may think so, many writers don’t realize that this is the easiest way to solve their problem. Over the past month, I have definitely worked longer hours in an attempt to stay on track.

What does your current work schedule look like? Do you have more work than you can handle? If so, try out these time saving tips.

A Guide to Successful Niche Website Creation

This is a guest post

When it comes to creating a niche website there are a few things you must have: proper keyword research, a highly functional website, and an understanding of your niche. Without these three things you are going to be in one of three situations: you’ll have a site that has a lot of great information but no visitors, you’ll have a site with a lot of visitors but low-quality information, or you will have a site that has visitors and great information but is just too hard to navigate. In any of those cases you’re going to be missing out on a lot of income, so here are a few things to consider when creating your niche website:

Always Do Proper Keyword Research

This is so critical but often overlooked. No matter what niche you go into, you must target specific keywords that people are actually searching. If you have a website that deals with information on dog food then you want to know the keywords people are actually searching. Instead of focusing on the keyword “food for dogs” that only has a few hundred searches per month, targeting the keyword “dry dog food” will increase your potential searches into the tens of thousands.

Make Sure the Site Is Functional

After you have done your keyword research and you are driving traffic to your site, you have to make sure once they arrive that they are going to be able to get the information they are looking for. Take the finance niche, for example – if someone is searching for an online loan and they end up on the site https://Wongaforbusiness.com they are instantly going to be able to get information on what they need. The unique slider right on the home page tells them how much they can get and how much interest they will have to pay depending on the amount borrowed and time it takes to repay.

Make Sure You Know The Niche

If you are unfamiliar with the niche you go into, it’s going to be hard to create the content necessary to develop a useful site. Often times when doing keyword research people will get caught up in the keywords that have tons of search or pay a lot for advertising clicks. If you don’t have the ability to create hundreds of articles for your website, or can’t afford to have it done for you, you probably shouldn’t go into that niche.

Make sure you do the necessary steps to cut your consumption of water and electricity. The steps are actually quite simple from preserving water to wisely using your electrical appliances and light among others.

Avoid impulsive shopping

You need to live within your means and avoid overspending at all costs. You can start through segregating your needs from your wants. There are things or stuffs you can do without and there are those which are considered your basic needs. Learn how to prioritize what you buy and just let go of the urge to spend on unnecessary stuffs unless you have extra.

Find reliable financial assistance

Loaning money from trusted and reliable lending companies could be a great way of saving money and getting the funds you need to finance your daily expenses. You can choose from a wide array of lending services and different types of loans such as fast cash loan. Reputable lenders such as the fast cash provider Wonga.com could definitely help you with fast application and approval of loans.
