How good are your writing skills?

Writing SkillsMany people simply assume that they will be able to write good quality content for their blogs, but what they forget is that part of good quality content is good quality writing. Many people take this for granted and I have seen it countless times.

Firefox 3 is untouchable!

FirefoxLet me say that I have never been a huge fan of Firefox. I have always had it installed, and I used it every now and then, but now that I have downloaded  Firefox 3 I’m hooked! It is by far the best browser I have ever used and I would highly recommend to anyone that they give it a try. The installation is a breeze, it looks awesome, it works beautifully and it is extremely user friendly! What more can you ask for?

Also, you can download some awesome add-ons to manage adverts, downloaded files, and many more. All I can say is that if you aren’t using Firefox you are missing out!

Well, that’s my two cents worth. If you have an opinion, please feel free to share it :)

Look after your customers!

The last post I wrote was about starting a business and then building it in such a way that you are geniunely interested in creating value for your customers. As I mentioned… your customers are not stupid, they know when you are geniune about wanting what’s best for them. Now, I have been a big fan of Adii for a couple months and I just read a post where he described this very situation.

With his business dealings, he receives a lot of emails with varying degrees or importance and relevence, however, he makes sure that he replies to each and everyone in a professional manner and places his customers first! What a great way to do business! Is it any wonder that he has such loyal customers and readers? Ofcourse not.

I can recommend to anyone who wants to start an online business to go check out Adii.co.za and read what he has to say, you might learn a thing or two!
