 Best Practices - Outside Consultants And Freelancers
from Small Business Trends Radio | Small Business Information
September 04, 2008
If you ve ever worked with outside consultants or freelancers to assist you with your work, then you ve probably asked yourself, What is the best way to engage an outside consultant working remotely to ensure quality deliverables and a great working relationship? Cathy Siciliano, Senior Director of Marketing at Elance, is our featured guest in this Episode of The Small Business Trends Radio. Cathy shares tips on the best practices for working with an outside consultant from defining the project scope, to finding the right person, all the way to setting up the engagement and managing the work. Cathy provides practical tips to make sure your remote project is set up for success. Here s a sampling from the show: Why hire an outside consultant? Simple. Because you get the best of the best. You are getting someone who specializes in whatever particular area you need assistance in. Flexibility is the added bonus when using freelancers and consultants because the assistance is based solely on your needs. If your needs are solely for one project, you can get it. If your needs are for permanent assistance 20 or 40 hours a week, you can get that, too. Breaking work up into small increments is important and helps to ensure that the work is getting done. When giving the work, state the deadline. When you receive the finished product, deliver the next set of instructions and a deadline. Moving through your work on a weekly basis through this process ensures success. Writing a job description is important because this is an employee and they will need your direction and it will require some of your time. So it is very important to outline the work, your expectations, timelines and/or deadlines and lastly but most importantly - what YOU consider to be success regarding the work. Because everyone s idea of success is different. Learn all of the best practices when dealing with freelancers and outside consultants now by listening to Cathy s full interview by clicking the red and yellow player below.

 2008 ROCORI Varsity Football vs St. Cloud Apollo
from DigElogROCORI
September 04, 2008
SPARTANS LOOK STRONG IN OPENER ROCORI vs Apollo 1st Half *QUICKTIME *Phone The long awaited football season has arrived. On August 29, 2008 the ROCORI Spartans opened up their season at home against CLC opponent, Saint Cloud Apollo. In this story you’ll see all the highlights from the first half including a DigElog exclusive, the pre-game presentation by ROCORI Grad Coach Troy Eichers. You’ll also see the Spartan defense swarm the Apollo backfield. The ROCORI team looked impressive under the guidance of new head coach Joel Baumgarten. Duane, Thank you for forwarding me this update. It was very enjoyable experience to return to Cold Spring this past Friday for what turned out to be a very successful athletic/community event. I take great pride in having the opportunity to provide the pre-game pep talk and hope that the words of my speech resonate in those that heard it in those times of need. As a Rocori High School graduate, I will continue to do all I can to promote that of what builds Spartan Pride! May the legacy continue to build. -- Troy D. Eichers, (Coach T) ROCORI vs Apollo 2nd Half *QUICKTIME *Phone The Spartans took a 17 point lead into the second half, but a turnover and a fluke touchdown pulled Apollo within 10 points. The Eagles success can be attributed to their ability to run the ball to the left side. However, some adjustments by the Spartan defense, and a phenomenal touchdown run by Nick Schneider sealed the win for the Spartans as they got coach Baumgarten his first win in the CLC. Watch the highlights of the second half and stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more coverage of Spartan football and other Spartan Fall sports. ***************************************** Special thanks to Central Minnesota Federal Credit Union who sponsored this story.

 Networking Outside the Box
from The Musicians Cooler - Where Musicians Trade Advice
September 01, 2008
Networking Tips From Anthony Kammerhofer of the band http://www.my-other-brother.com/ and he works with http://www.sonicbids.com/wilhelmpfeiffer and is an active contributor to http://www.dmet.eu/ his day job is at http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/ You can check out and buy his music at http://www.manymusics.org/album.asp?d=1000 Hope it s not too odd for the podcast to talk about the Classical music genre there, but I think it could inspire listeners to also search for alternative ways in booking, especially drawn against the background of more and more typical live venues going out of business both over here in Europe and in North America. I work with Classical singer Wilhelm Pfeiffer and we ve been connecting with piano retailers for in-store performances and them even recommending the act for traditional venues and stuff. It all boils down to getting connected, which, of course, eats up a considerable amount of time in one s music career, but definitely helps boost that career. Great Tip Anthony! - Dave Free Bob Baker Book How to Recession-Proof Your Music Career . I got an email from Bob Baker to let me know he has a new FREE ebook out. It s called How to Recession-Proof Your Music Career: 39 Ways Musicians, Bands and Record Labels Can Reduce Expenses and Prosper in Today s Economic Times. All you have to do is sign up for Bob s email list The Buzz Factor. This is a phenomenal e-zine with great music marketing tips. If you ve never heard of Bob Baker (which for me is hard to believe) you need to get to know Bob. All of his books are great. No More Practicing Alone This tip comes from Jasmine Commerce who you can find at www.myspace.com/jasminecommerce One EXCELLENT way to practice in front of a crowd instead of alone in your room is to call your local rehab centers/nursing homes/retirement communities/senior centers/centers for the developmentally disabled, etc. and speak with their activities director about booking a gig. It s the rule, not the exception, that these types of places RARELY get quality live entertainment (I ve played at them for the past 5 years with my brother, and the residents are always so excited to have us come and just PLAY MUSIC). So many of these residents are unable to get out and see live performances, and sometimes if you re good, you may strike a deal with an activities department and even be paid for entertaining. It is not hard to convince the activities director to give you a chance to play (esp. if you re willing to do it for free), and these are daytime gigs unlike most other performances . In fact, very often you can fit performances like this into YOUR schedule a Saturday morning, a Sunday evening, Tuesday at two, Thursday at 4 .you get it. It s quite likely you ll find the activities directors have flexible schedules when they know you ll come and fill an hour with solid entertainment. I ve found great benefit in practicing in front of people (in addition to practicing on your own of course). For one, it s much similar to the real thing than practicing alone in fact, it IS the real thing as all audiences are just PEOPLE but of course there is rarely a stage at these places, nor ambient lighting, and you are your own sound engineer! These are for the most part (save certain very ritzy retirement homes) forgiving audiences, who are grateful you came. But do them a favor: know your songs, be professional, and do your BEST, for no one likes to be forced to listen to bad music! That s a bit of advice I have for other musicians wishing to hone their acts and/or potentially seeking a small supplemental income playing music. All around it s a win-win Today in Cooler History September 2007 164 Niche Happens with Christine Kane MC163 Putting on a Show with Phil X of PowderThe Musicians Cooler - Where Musicians Trade Advice Edit " WordPress EZ Drummer Feedback - PMN Discussion 161 Interactive T-shirts 160 Blake Morgan Shows Up Big September 2006 95: Home vs Professional Studio Which One Makes Sense For You 94 Anthony Gomes Its All About the Fans - Getting Airplay in 7 Days 93: How to Be a Hit Songwriter Reviewed 92 Dipping Your Toe in the ProTools Pool September 2005 Mentoring Moment with Judith Owen #33 Interview with the Booker #32 Podsafe Music Network - The Results Are in #31 Americas Biggest - Here I am Dave Make Your Song The Next Anthem Dona Oxford has made a great video just using photographs and her song Step Up.
