Spring Into Spring

Posted on 10:46 by Unknown
With the flowers starting to bloom and the winds bringing warmer breezes, it finally feels as though spring has come to Virginia. With spring, my thoughts turn to spring cleaning both my house and my freelance writing/editing business.

To spring clean your at-home business, set aside a few hours to go through your file folders and toss or shred old paperwork. Clean out your email inbox and take a look at what electronic documents can be deleted. Make sure your computer's antivirus software is up-to-date. Jot down a list of things that might need replacing, fixing or upgrading in the near future.

Consider ordering new business cards or adding something to your Web site. Develop a spring marketing campaign. Review your potential client lists and start devising ways to reach those customers.

These are just a few ways to spruce up your business.

Until next time,

Sarah
