I did not make up the annual income figure in the headline.That is the mean annual salary earned by technical communicators across the United States in 2005 according to the “2005 Technical Communicator Salary Survey” conducted by Society for Technical Communication of which I'm a proud Senior Member.The lowest paid entry-level tech writers made $40,730 and those writers in the supervisory senior-levels made as much as $111,100 in 2005.Not bad considering the image of a “starving artist” that the word “writer” conjures up in popular imagination -- and sometimes with good reason as well.Just because you l
Otherwise, you risk missing opportunities, and not maximizing the return on your investment in your online presence.
If you haven’t visited your own Website for a while, look at it again in light of these questions:
1. Does your Website present an appropriate image of your company?
Marketers talk a lot about branding, and consistency of message. Does your company site reflect how you’d like your customers to feel about your business? Is it sophisticated, and professional looking? Does it speak directly to visitors in language that they’ll understand, and in ways that relate to their issues and needs?
Image is also about public relations. Publicity is a powerful marketing tool, and reporters are increasingly looking for stories and information online. Does your Website offer a media center? Does it offer comment on current events in your industry? Do you face up to the bad news, and spin it to your advantage?

2. Does your Website suggest potential for new or currently untapped markets?
In almost all the sites that I’ve consulted for, we’ve identified markets or audiences beyond the “real-world” customer base of the business.
This may be because the site extends the geographic reach of your marketing. If you have good content on your site, it may also be because visitors looking for your subject area find you in search engines, and come to read your articles and white papers.
Either way, if you find many “non-traditional” visitors to your site, you should assess whether they constitute a possible new market area for your business.

Myspace profile is a showcase of the person we are. Everybody talks of his or her interest, hobbies, friends, and so on. The major attempt is to make myspace profile look good. add videos, comments, layouts, music, backgrounds and everything else that makes the profile look good. Here I have a small question. Are all of us happy? Do we have no pain to show? Do we have miseries that we want to share? I think myspace profile can be used to make one's life happier by sharing the truth of pain as well as the happiness.Write the truth of what happened to you in your life. If there are incidents that still traumatize you, write about them. Do not hid. Let your friends read about them. Some will laugh, but

Recently, a young lady complained to the Founder of an Online Think Tank about over regulation of small business, as she was a successful small businesswoman. She also said that the lawsuits were getting to be ridiculous citing many recent atheist lawsuits about such things as; Nativity Scenes in Public Parks and the Pledge of Allegiance in Schools. Further she noted the unbelievable lawsuits of those who ate fast food and slip and fall lawsuits.The Online Think Tank founder stated; I agree the over regulation and incessant lawsuits are cluttering the courts and costing all of us dearly indeed. Putting small businesses out of business, which employ 75% of our population. I also agree that the sense

Sometimes you have a minute to make a difference, sometimes you have a few seconds to make a difference. If you are lucky, you have an hour or maybe a day or two to make a difference. Time crunches in on you when a disaster like the terrorist attack on September 11th strikes. At that time, leadership emerges. Whether it is your greatest hour or your worst is up to you.In every age, there comes a time when a leader must come forward to meet the needs of the hour. Therefore, there is no potential leader who does not have the opportunity to make a positive difference in society. Tragically, there are times when a leader does not rise to the hour.The following are seven leadership practices seen

You can find great clues for development ideas by tracking the keywords entered into your own site search engine. These show what visitors expect to find on your site – and therefore what they expect your company to offer.
4. Does your Website provide continuing added value for existing customers?
Most site owners focus on acquiring new customers, and fail to maximize the opportunities to support and service existing ones.
These include password-protected areas where your clients can follow the progress of their projects, share documents with you, etc. Personalization and pre-populated forms (i.e. which are automatically filled in with the customer’s details) help to create a feeling of value, and save time for your visitors.
Check the average response time for a contact from your Website. One of the top complaints about major company sites is that e-mails are not answered in a timely (hopefully 24 hours or less) manner.
5. Does your Website support your internal operations and employee needs?
This question relates to whether you’re making the best use of all available technologies, and integrating them with your online operations.
Example applications to consider include:
* Instant messaging, fast becoming a serious business tool
* Knowledge bases – continually updated databases that can provide automated customer support on a 24/7 basis
* Streaming media, perhaps for just-in-time training or on-the-spot manuals for your operatives
* Intranets and extranets, which are really just fancy names for password-protected employee and client areas
6. Does your Website integrate fully with your “real-world” activities and processes?
One of the most frustrating visitor experiences is to complete a form, an application, or to submit a search on your Website, only to receive an error message.
Customers want the security of an e-mailed purchase confirmation. They want to know that they’ll be taken off your mailing list quickly and without the need for multiple requests.
