I’ve known many web designers who started giving free service before they made it big. In a profession where everyone (including non-design degree holders) can be a web designer, launching a career to achieve a far-fetched dream always begins with a rough start. It’s hard to break into an industry full of portfolio-armed designers, especially if you’re a beginner.

4 Tips To Help You Secure The Ideal Contract Job

The decision to work in contract jobs can be a long-term career choice, or a short-term way to secure work. Contract workers are hired to perform a certain job or task, or for a specified period of time.  When the terms of engagement are completed, the contract worker is free to pursue other work.  This type of arrangement may appeal to people who don’t fit into the typical employee mould, who want more work options during uncertain times, or who just want to be masters of their own destiny.

I came across a pretty good webinar from Paul Ponna this past week were he discusses an online marketing plan utilizing guru product launches and web sites. The webinar was hosted by John Jonas and appears on his website here. The concept promises massive free traffic, hundreds of quality backlinks, massive affiliate commissions, and a profitable mailing list. Paul Ponna is an expert in ClickBank and Information Product marketing online. Half way through the presentation the discussion switches to a product that Paul offers, but the first 30 minutes is very good. I am not an affiliate for the products.

Adding Site Feeds to Google Buzz

Adding Site Feeds to Google Buzz

One of the more popular features of Twitter is the ability through their API to post at intervals or when an RSS feed is updated a tweet to Twitter automatically. So blog owners don’t have to worry about tweeting their new blog entries cause it is done automatically from a service like TwitterFeed.com.

With Google Buzz being the latest micro blogging platform, everyone wants the same features as Twitter from Google. Of course Google doesn’t want some of the features that it deems to be problematic, but it does allow you to post your RSS feed automatically to your Buzz account whenever a new post is available. Just how do you get Buzz to connect to your site or sites?

There are a number of posts about adding a an XFN tag to the site or a rel=me tag when you link back to your site from Google. But all this seemed silly to me because the sites aren’t profiles of me, they are just blogs that I work on occasionally about topics that I enjoy. Then I discovered the simple way to connect a site.

Go to the Webmaster Tools portal within your Google account and add the site you want to connect to within Buzz. Verify the site by adding a file or a meta tag to the header of the home page. Then return to GMail, Click on Buzz, and Click on connected sites. The new sites will now be available for connection. Your latest post will appear within Buzz and new posts will automatically be posted.

Now if only I could figure out how to get more followers of my Google Buzz without a public interface.
