There are heaps of plugins for Woo. I think you will find all you need here: http://codecanyon.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=w...

I wouldn't recommend any of the free plugins for Woo as they are generally not supported or updated for security. This place is good to buy from.

Hi,

I agree with the above comment.
I used to work in systems support for Telstra and Australia Post. We missed the most important point of backups. It's not the backup that's the issues (thats simple, see above) the real issue is restoring tha data. We found:
1. We did not backup all or correct data (including drivers etc)
2. We could not restore the data (corruption and/or access)
3. If your operating system goes how can you get access to the data. That is, do you have a boot disk, will it allow you access to the cloud or even your USB drives.
The porblem is most of us are to scare to delete current data and restoring from backup to see if it works:)

It depends how scalable and what type of niche your product is in. If you are a specialised b2b company you are only going to have a specific number of customers, for example if its a niche product with 1000 customers. If you are a main stream market like a mobile phone or a supermarket you can spend 150 million a year on advertising in Australia, yet the b2b might only spend $10,000. So my answer is it depends on the company.

Preferably before they get into a "critical" position. Coaches are there as sounding boards, to look at your business (and therefore you) to give perspectives on what is happening and what you can't see for yourself because you are too involved, and to motivate and push you outside of your comfort zone. My coach did actions and challenges for the week, and things have gone forward faster than I thought they would.

Going through the mountain of resumes I receive to find someone appropriate. Also responding to each one to say that I have received their application and then responding to say whether they are successful or not. It is very time consuming.

Hi Marko,

Do you mean the process itself?
ie setting up a Newsletter on your site that will email your database list of clients?
Or
How do you get your emails to work for you as a business, to be successful?
Or both?!
:)
Briefly:
There are many solutions from paid 'auto responder' services like aWeber and Mailchimp, as well as plugins for Wordpress sites in particular.

I prefer to give my clients control over the Newsletter from the site itself.

Regarding results:

The key is to have a consistent mail out.
So many people start with a bang, emailing their subscribers frequently to start with and then drop off.This is not good.
In my opinion, you are better to commit to once a month and follow through.
Also, these days, you must be sending them real information that they find valuable- BEFORE you start asking for the sale.
Tip: Best to also minimise colours and images in your emails, as a lot of SPAM filters are triggered by those and the system admin.

Hope this helps.
feel free to contact me for assistance.
Cheers

How much a graphic designer charges per hour might differ greatly from project to project. After all, it's going to be a different skillset with package design than it would be for logo design. With that said, most graphic designers do not charge by the hour. Rather, it's a per-project basis. 

Even so, a study was done on Upwork to see how graphic designers charge. On average, you should expect to pay between $15 to $35 per hour for a typical graphic designer. Some experts, though, can charge as much as $150. 

If you want to work with a graphic designer on an hourly basis, it's important to keep in mind these little tidbits:

• Most graphic designers who charge per hour will have a minimum project price. This usually equates to 1 to 2 hours per work. If you have them work less than this, they will refuse to work for you or will still charge you the minimum. 
• Graphic designers' prices are often based on skills. If your designer has a portfolio featuring work with major names, then you will probably need to pay upwards of $30. If they are a "fresh outta college" kid, then $15 is fair. 
• Brochure and business card design are often the least expensive. Meanwhile, logo design and packaging design tends to be the higher priced items on the menu. 
• The price that you pay can also be influenced by the price of the software they need to make your graphics. A full Adobe suite is going to cost a lot more than an indie drawing app. And, if you need a graphic designer who does CAD drawings, that can also bolster the price even more. 
• Most graphic designers that charge by the hour will not do free edits. 

There are always different triggers based on the audience you're talking to. At its core though, there is one top-level notion that, if you focus on, lets you "plan for word of mouth"

Be authentic, Have a conversation

There is so much choice in just about every market now that you need to distinguish on more than product and service. Your customers want to feel valued and respected. They want everything to be perfect, but moreover they want to know that if anything does go wrong that it will be resolved, and your business will do anything it can to rectify or remedy the situation.

As soon as you make your business approachable, your customers, potential customers, and the people they talk to, will see you as more than a drain on their bank account.

The truth is that you get a lot of different answers on this, and it mostly depends on the influencer as well as the platform and follower size. Here's what you should expect from the most common strata. 

NANO INFLUENCERS (Under 10,000 followers, more than 1,000)
- They can do this for free, or charge as much as $100. On average, it's $10 to $50. 
- You might have to reach out to them individually as many platforms won't work with them.

MICRO INFLUENCERS (Between 10,000 to 100,000)
- They charge as much as $100 to $500 per post, with visuals and YouTube posts being more common. 
- These are where you might be able to start finding them on Influenster. 

INFLUENCERS (Between 100,000 to 500,000 followers)
- They charge $500 to $5,000 per post. 
- Many are agency-represented. 

MACRO INFLUENCERS (Between 500,000 to 1 Million followers)
- They charge between $5,000 to $10,000 per post.
- Almost all of them are agency represented and are major names in their fields. 

MEGA INFLUENCERS (More than 1 million)
- These guys almost always charge more than $10,000 per post. It's not unheard-of for prices as high as $30,000 for a single post. 
- Since these are generally celebrities, you will not find them on sites like Influenster.

Customers won't go out of their way to give feedback when things are running smoothly, but often there is still a lot of room for improvement and feedback to be received.

Ongoing and regular communications both ways reminds your customers that you care and provides that window to continue the flow or feedback and constant improvement.
