1. Failing to understand how to make a marketing piece “viral”Often people create what they call a viral marketing piece when it is nothing more than a brochure and an advertisement. It is way too self serving. It has no possibility of creating buzz. While there is no guaranteed formula for creating a viral marketing piece, there are many things you can do to inc
As an American, I believe there is mostly a negative conatation towards the trend of large American companies offshoring jobs. You know, the underlying tone is somthing similar to "big companies only care about profits, not people". Honestly, when the topic is big business, I can agree with points on both sides of the discussions. But, what is often lost in these discussions of offshoring software development jobs are the opportunities it creates for small business.
I'm living proof that small business opportunity lies in being able to win local clients and then clearly articulate and manage the project to offshore developers. For me, more time needs to be spent thinking on strategic level concepts and ideas rather than fulfilling tactical level operations. I did not realize this overnight and it has taken me years to accept.
As a software developer, my industry is in a state of flux. Is offshoring software development a good thing or a bad thing? The jury is still out and the discussions are usually quite lively. Over the years, I've heard the following snippets in the discussions "quality vs. cost", "you get what you pay for", "we tried offshoring software development once and now we spend all day fixing offshore developers code", "we saved a boatload of money by offshoring certain tactical aspects of software development", etc. In my experience, these points have more merit in big company circumstances compared to small business.

An employee time clock is a device that monitors the starting and quitting time of employees. In the olden days, punch cards were normally used for this purpose. The worker had to punch his arrival and departure time on his card using a punch device. Slowly this system became obsolete and it was replaced by computer based tracking systems. On these systems, the employee had to

You could hire a marketing consultant and pay them the big bucks to tweak your business name and develop a tag line. On the other hand, you could tap into your own creativity and generate something fresh- maybe tomorrow’s next famous entity- all on your own. Many people are responsible for their own success regarding company name and tag line. You can be too. If you’re con

Do you always enjoy fund raising activities and thought you’ve done a rewarding job every time you organize one? Well, you should be going to a fund raising school to get a formal knowledge and training of fund raising. That is, if you are either interested in pursuing a career in fund raising or want to gain more skills and understanding it. This is a great idea if you are ha
Clients for website development expect to pay lower fees than they did in the 90s regardless of their company size. As a small business owner, I'm unable to maintain a sustainable profit margin with lower client fees. What can I do? Simple. Hire offshore developers at lower rates, so my profit margin allows the projects to be worthwhile. The opportunity for me is to spend more time on clearly defining technical architecture, project management and communicating regularly with developers and clients rather than writing code.
Win-win-win: Client wins, my company wins, offshore software developers win. But, when there is a winner, there usually is a looser? The looser in software development landscape shift is the small business that refuses to adapt to global competition or utilize these global resources. Or the individual software developer who refuse to adapt to lower rates and more pressure and competition to innovate. And no, building walls around ourselves and the industry is not the answer. If we try create global software development competition barriers, we are creating a path towards lose-lose-lose.
