    04/10/2008

    04/03/2008

  • Protecting Your Small Business Against Data Theft
    02/22/2008
    The article appearing in the Feb. 16 edition of the Los Angeles Times newspaper undoubtedly instilled panic, or at least severe unease, into employees of that city's Department of Water and Power. A laptop computer containing the private financial data of every DWP employee—such as social security numbers, employee identification numbers, and deferred compensation balance—had been stolen from a private contractor hired by the department to provide benefits statements. The computer also contained information on retired employees.
  • Backing up Isn't Hard to Do
    01/30/2008
    The mantra to prevent loss of important data created with a computer is "Back up, back up, back up." Even when the worst disasters strike—a natural disaster such as a fire, a machine disaster such as a hard disk crash or a human disaster such as accidentally deleted files—if you regularly make backups and store at least some off-site, you'll greatly lessen your recovery time.
  • Looking Good in E-mail
    01/03/2008
    A lot of people let down their hair when firing off an e-mail message, writing far more informally than in reports or even memos. E-mail has a conversational feel to it, a cross between a chatty phone conversation and a formal business letter. It's generally OK to follow the tone dictated by the internal culture where you work, or play. If people don't capitalize the first letter of sentences or pay attention to spelling, don't sweat trying to dot all your Is and cross all your Ts.

  • Promoting Podcasts
    10/10/2007

If you prefer to communicate via the spoken word, podcasts can be a viable tool for conveying information to employees, clients or prospects. However, you will have to take certain steps to help the right people find your messages.
  • Keeping Your Computer Going
    09/25/2007
    One of the worst things that can happen to a computer is for it to stop working. Computers have a knack for developing problems when you're in the middle of an important project. Unless you have an IT person or department to call on, you'll need to wrestle with the silicon beast yourself.
  • Tracking Trends for Your Small Business
    09/24/2007

  • Staying Productive at the Keyboard
    09/04/2007
    At first glance, PCs may seem like the ultimate productivity enhancer. They let you plan and budget far more effectively than a calculator or table. They make it possible to keep track of people and things far more easily than a roster or list. They help you communicate far more efficiently than a typewriter or telephone. They can tap far more research sources than the largest collection of periodicals or books. And they make training far more compelling than words and pictures on paper.
  • Attending and Hosting Webinars
    08/30/2007
    For many entrepreneurs, attending business seminars can be beneficial. Yet many factors like travel time and expenses can deter them from going to as many as they would wish. Likewise, holding your own seminars may be an ideal way to bring together employees and/or clients from geographically diverse locations, even though the logistics can prove challenging.
  • The Significance of E-mail Signature Lines
    08/23/2007
    Sending e-mail inevitably takes up a portion of your workday. But rather than seeing it as a chore, think of your e-mail correspondence as yet another way you can promote your small business. Promptly answering customer inquiries, sending e-newsletters and following up on recent leads are all ways that you may already be using e-mail to keep your company growing. One of the most basic ways to advance your business through e-mail, however, is also one often overlooked. A signature line attached to your outgoing mail can serve as an electronic business card, not to mention help you better brand your business and inform your customers. So before you hit send one more time, make sure your signature line says all it needs to about you and your business.
  • Responding When Your Company Is Criticized Online
    08/01/2007
    Before blogs and online forums began proliferating the Web, a company could quietly take care of its product quality and customer-service problems.

  • Coping With Information Overload
    04/23/2007
    Every manager attracts information. The typical manager is constantly on the receiving end of information in various forms, including letters, memos, reports, publications, advertisements, telephone messages and e-mail messages. You name it, the manager receives it. The volume of information flowing to some managers borders on ridiculous, and the manager who tries to carefully go through everything may find there's little time left for anything else.

  • Integrating E-Commerce Into Your Enterprise
    03/12/2007

From low-end office products to high-end technology purchases, the average person will, without a doubt, surf the Internet to locate the goods and services they require.

  • E-mail Use and Abuse
    11/17/2006
