Lately I’ve been drowning in consulting calls on top of my scheduled design work. Often, people are calling because they paid a lot of money for website design or development, fell victim to one of a number of scams, and need advice regarding what to do next. No matter how many stories I hear.

  Spend enough time surfing the internet and you’ll learn an interesting fact: Everyone is trying to sell you something. Even when people start out with the purest of intentions, the act of blogging (or even just reading blogs) eventually results in the epiphany, I can make money doing this! I speak from experience. My full-time income.

  Last month I decided I needed to do something about the phone situation for my business. You see, I used my cell phone for work calls throughout most of 2012, but I didn’t really like giving clients my personal number. I hated getting calls after hours, and I really hated not knowing how to answer.
