by
My friend Matthew has been trying to write a blog post a day and has been having trouble with it. I think that every writer has this at some point. They day to day of life (kids, laundry, clients/job) just gets in the way of what we want to do. If you’re thinking that this…

ROI on WP Pros
by
WP Daily launched WP Pros last week and I was able to get in before launch. In the interest of disclosure, I was given a limited time free account. The real question with any service like this, is how do you decide if it’s worth $20/month (or whatever your particular cost is)? I’ll show you…
What Grass to Water
by
In a Twitter DM conversation Brian Krogsgard accused me of not plugging myself enough. He’s probably right, as much as I know about WordPress and running a business I simply get more joy from plugging others. More than that, I’m probably a bit shy about throwing myself a big party for any little thing I…

I say that Trello is not ‘specifically tailored’ because Trello takes a such an open approach to dealing with managing business tasks. You can’t…
Thoughts on Product Pricing
by
I’ve got 1 product out and have a few others on the mind (need to choose one I know) so this article about pricing products and services is great. The bottom tier of any pricing grid experiences the highest churn. Intuitively this makes sense; small early stage businesses are more likely to fail than larger…
I was a guest on the Freelancer’s Show 063
by
In this week’s show I was simply guesting, but I’ve now been asked to come on as a regular host. It’s typically been a Ruby focused show (in that the hosts work in the Ruby field) but is one of the best podcasts on freelancing. In fact it’s the only one I’ve been listening to…
