How do i approach a modelling agency? -

I would like to do modelling but i havent got the look for a high fashion model, more like a commercial model. I have contacted quite a few and the only ones who have come back are the ones who are trying to rip me off. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks

Dont pay any fees to an agency, the fee they take should be a pecentage of your earnings.

There are several ways to get the contact of those agencies. You can get in local Newspapers, Magazines or you can make search in Google. You will get lots of Modelling websites. Btw do not forget to add place, state, country name in your search phrase.

Try and find a great photographer to do your portfolio for this. If you ve done it yourself it won t cost as much make sure you have the right outfits in your portfolio. Evening wear, Swimwear, day wear etc.,

How to get website design orders/customers? -

I am running a website designing and Web based software Development Company , Now i am extremely struggling to get customers. Please advise me how i can get more orders and target customers; this is a small company with strong technical team and good profile. www.wizardi.co.uk

After a cursory review of your opening webpage, it appears that there is insufficient, inadequate SEO metatags to draw web traffic to your wonderful website. So, who s in charge of White Hat SEO at your site? Merely placing the entry Wizardi in the title metatag assumes that Wizardi is a major recognizable brand. And if that is not the case, then provide more description keywords which best describe your services followed by a geographic target, i.e., your business location in what city, state, country.Here s a helpful tutorial to assist in designing effective metatags which will draw clients to your website. Even though this tutorial was initially directed to the U.S. marketplace, it is very much relevant to other similar businesses in overseas markets:The most effective way to advertise on the Internet isto first set up a website and publish its domain nameon major search directories such as Google.com,Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... andMSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on thesesearch directories to provide them with goods andservices. In a sense, these search directories are avery large Internet Yellow Pages.Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpagefail to contain generic keywords, then anyone usingsuch generic queries will not be able to discoveryour website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,when observed and committed in designing of a websitewith placement of various critical metatags that cansurely achieve a high search engine presence andincrease Internet traffic to your website. Thesemetatag strategies work well with published webpagesat Google and Yahoo.Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-basedwebsite, make sure to fill-in the property entriessuch as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failingto do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that canbe readily indexed by search robots. Also consider theInternet audience and their incoming setup. Forexample, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpagestake too long to load up and therefore analog userswill likely lose interest and discontinue entering theFlash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSLlines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. Sobefore designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simplequestion, Who s my end user - is he on dialup orDSL? And if you had to choose between these two usersfor maximum marketability, then select analog userssince 80% of most resident users are still analogInternet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpagesis best for them.A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limitthe use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as agraphic, they are not indexable by search robots.Avoid use of frames since any number of search robotsare unable to properly classify textual material.Placement of Metatags:A ranking or search order does take place with Googleand Yahoo and it begins with the Title metag whichshould consist of no more than 65 characters separatedby commas. The Title should describe in genericterms, the goods and services, followed by a locationfrom which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.The placement of a domain name which is not genericwithin the Title is not appropriate, unless yourdomain name is a major recognizable brand name.The second metatag is the Description which isusually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence whichbest describes one s goods and services.And the very last category - Keywords are alsosomewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be pluraland compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entrieswhich could be mistaken as spamdexed entries whichis defined as the loading, and submission ofrepetitive words into a particular metatag category. Spamdexing when discovered on a webpage and reportedto Google s spamreport.com can result in theelimination of your website from their searchdirectory.Good luck!

If you re London based, which it appears you are from your contact page, get out and about at networking events and build relationships with business people who have clients that could use your services. There are lots of opportunities for this in London and some of them are free. Try Business Link as a starting point. Once you get into this, other events will follow and you ll meet friends at the other events so you ll become more and more familiar to them which encourages them to spread the word about what you do.Good luck!

I wish I could answer your question, its going to be extremely difficult to achieve success as I don t see any hope. I too have a business and its getting real tough, unreal. My area is like a ghost town, actually all of Florida is.

Find some bad websites out there, email some constructive feedback to the owners on what they could do to improve their sites, and then mention your services.

Telling Client I Have to Raise Rate? -

I have a long-term client who has given me a lot of business and continues to do so. Some months back they asked me and other contractors to take a 30% cut on our fees to get them through some tough times. Things aren t perfect now, but seem to be better, although I don t have the details.I can t work at such a low rate indefinitely. I want to ask when they think they can pay my full rate (other clients are), and I d be satisfied with even a partial restoration of my whole fee.We have a good relationship, and I know they want to keep me, because the CEO strongly prefers working with contractors he already knows: he and I worked together well at another company years ago.Any negotiation suggestions? It has to be by phone or email because they re in another city.

I would start off my acknowledging what a great client they are and how much you enjoy doing Business with them. Tell them that a few months ago you extended a discount in good faith to them and that you see that they have been able to turn Business around (as you knew they would). Then state that with the economic conditions and rising costs of doing Business you need to come to an agreement as to what the new rate should be. Ask for a phone call to determine and discuss the new rate

you accomodated them by accepting less for a temporary period of time and you should inform them that that accomodation has outrun itself, that you cannot continue to perform at the lower ratedon t be surprised tho if he terminates your servicesI had a client who rented a business space for over 30 yrs and asked the landlord for some relief when times were badthe landlord did for a short period and when he raised the rent back to the original rate, he also did not renew the lease!

In Order to Learn QuickBooks Do I Need to have an Advanced Bookkeeping Skills? -

I know many of the basics, but i want something helping implementing bookkeeping rapidly for my personal use....

Well, there really isn t any free online tutorials for QB. The more accounting skills you have, the more useful QB will be for you. It s a really good program; I ve been using it for over 10 years. The best way to learn it is to take a community college class (10 weeks). That will show you how it works and you ll learn where to find all the menus, commands, and reports that you need. When I bought my first copy of it in 1995, it actually came with an actual printed manual, so I basically learned from that. (But I have taken a course in it also to get an associates degree). If you don t want to take a class, go to a community college bookstore and just buy the textbook that they are using for their QB class. Keep in mind that textbooks are ridiculously overpriced these days - just the text alone could easily be $100. But it will always be there for you to refer to.Best wishes from Seattle :-)

How to make extra money? -

I am looking for a way I can make some extra money. Is there something I can do from home or start?

I sell stuff from around my house and cheap yard sale finds all the time on ebay and bring in about $150 a month doing this, and that s a bad month.If you have any sort of things you hand make, you can sell those on Etsy.com. Also any vintage items as well. Not only will you make some extra dough, you ll feel great decluttering your house.Do you have a talent? Play guitar? Piano? Artistic? Give lessons. Do yard work, shovel snow, pet sit, house sit, babysit.

I faced the same question before and I landed the perfect job for me and i love helping others so maybe do a search at the source I provided below.

My brother sells things he finds on sale on ebay.Back in high school, I used to trade stocks. Made more than my friends would make at their high school jobs easy, and the hours were nice.

You can sell mark makeup at 16 years old. It s 20 bux to sign up, you get a makeup kit and a website. You can promote your website and get like 30-40% of what people spend. Or you can give out catalogs to your friends. Pretty cool! Plus you get makeup discounts. You can sign up to buy or sell mark here:http://www.BuyMarkMakeup.info
