In the Sphere: Getting Back to Business

Many people go back to school in September to further their educations. For those of who worked through the summer and into the fall, we still have an opportunity to learn and to renew ourselves in preparation for the months and years ahead. Looking at your line of work, is there a way that you can take it to the next level? Let’s see what these bloggers have to say.

Thursday Bram answers a very common question that some people may have about what she does for a living. How much education does a freelance writer really need? It’s very possible for someone to embark on a freelancing career right out of high school, but depending on the project, more education and training may be needed to properly address a client’s needs.

Neil Patel has been very successful making his living online, so he knows a thing or two about Internet marketing. He also recognizes the importance of in-person interactions, so that’s why he has put together a beginner’s guide to attending conferences.

Mason Hipp knows that it can be difficult to stay motivated when you work from home. Based on his experience, he now knows five easy ways to finish your day with a bang. You need to define your boundaries, set a specific “end of day” time, and have an afternoon snack to recharge those batteries. Keep your energy levels high and your motivation higher.

Sonia Simone helps to debunk some myths and educate the public with her complete newbie’s guide to marketing. The guide isn’t comprehensive in and of itself, but it can serve as a great launching pad of information for people new to the world of marketing and advertising. While you’re at it, be sure to check out our Marketing 101 feature every Thursday.

The Smartlife Blog finishes us off by looking outside of ourselves for some help from others. They say that two heads are better than one, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. When you need to have an extra set of hands around the office, you may want to read about how to hire an intern. Hiring an intern isn’t really the same process as hiring a regular full-time employee, after all.
