Wherever you go, there you are.

Funny how that works. All our foibles and greatness come to work and play with us.

The more insights we glean from noticing what happens when we show up, the more we can show up at our best.

This blog is full of:

  • practical business advice
  • interviews & stories
  • poems
  • opinions
  • references to other teachers
  • examples of inspired entrepreneurs

Take what works for you and leave the rest. And then tell your own story. So many times I hear people quoting someone else as if their own source of wisdom lies outside themselves. I call that OUT-sourcing. This blog and my work with Intuitive Plan is to here to help you IN-source.

Notice how the wisdom you find INside is remarkably perfect... for YOU in any given moment.

Congratulations for the journey,

Rosemary

Best in Class Resources

By Rosemary Senjem | December 14, 2009

Here are resources I recommend because they are ‘best in class’ and have great tech support for non-technical people.

PLEASE NOTE: In my experience, it is best to put your eggs in separate baskets.
I recommend that you:

  • Keep your [hosting vendor] separate from your [domain name vendor] and your [web designer], even though they will all try to be your one-stop-shop for everything. It is in your best interest to have direct relationships with each of these companies.
  • All the companies listed here are better at the service noted here, than all the other stuff they are selling. You just need to keep clicking ‘No Thanks’ to finally get to the shopping cart, because they try to sell you lots of stuff you don’t need from them.

Web Site Hosting:

BlueHost.com for 6.95/mo. It is easy to install and maintain a number of great tools with their control panel, as well as manage email accounts and use promotional tools. Please use this link to let them know I sent you:

Buying & Managing Domain Names:

Buying a long term registration for your domain name helps you with search engines.

  • 10 year registration indicates longevity and seriousness.
  • 1 year registration says you might not be around next year.

The additional things you DO want to buy with your domain name include:

  • business registration
  • privacy

Event Pages, Invitations, Promotion, & Attendee Management:

EventBrite.com is a great pay-as-you-go service.

  • If your events are free, the service is free.
  • If there is a fee for your event, you pay them 2.5% +$0.99 per ticket sold with a max of $9.95 fee.

Please use this link to let them know I sent you: https://www.eventbrite.com/r/bestinclass

Ready to go to the next level? Ah… you’ve discovered that you get what you pay for and you’re ready to pay — but not too much!

This plan is for you:

  1. Buy your domain name.
  2. Host the account for your site and install a free content management system.
  3. Hire someone like Hand Spun Digital to help to plan, customize, and optimize your site to accomplish your business goals.
  4. Add other services that will provide more ease and return on investment.

Plan B: Free Web Site + Pay-As-You-Go Services

By Rosemary Senjem | December 14, 2009

Okay, so you tried the free site or at least looked into it. It is okay, but you want more…

This plan is for you:

  1. Buy your domain name.
  2. Get a free hosting and content management account for your site, that has no set-up and no on-going fees. (such as the services in Plan A)
  3. Add other services that provide more ease and return on investment, such as event registration and email management services.
