Should you talk career planning with employees?
"Hi Brad, Thanks for the great conversation in this blog post. I'd say that, even if your employees move on, it's not a bad idea to have career discussions with them. My experience has been that there are some employers (and entrepreneurs) who have learned the benefits of gaining a reputation for fostering talent. It can make it easier to recruit, especially if you can't compete on salary or other compensation. Thanks for sharing with the BizSugar community. "How You Can Increase Your Google Adsense Earnings
"Hi Efoghor, This is a huge step forward for publishers who are trying to maximize earnings from AdSense. While plenty of information exists out there about improving the optimization of your website and growing your traffic, ad conversion once you get the audience to your website is a whole other story. Thanks for sharing this update with the BizSugar community."LinkedIn Adds Company Page Analytics
"Sounds like huge news, Shelly, if not altogether unexpected. LinkedIn seems to be following the lead of other big social sites here. What may be surprising is that they took so long to do it. Thanks to Michelle Mangen for sharing this with the BizSugar community!"How Much Would You Pay Someone To Find A Job For You?
"Hi Joel, Another one you left out here is the person who will rewrite or just critique your resume for a huge amount. I won't mention any names, but there are some job board sites offering a lot of services along these lines.. The question is whether they can point to a record of success or can show you what you will really get for your money. Perhaps a service that made their money off of finding dislocated people work would be a better business model. In fact, I think the entrepreneur who cracks that nut will have it made.

"Hi Rich, I think qualifying lead flow is critically important here. This is especially true if your service or product is something unusual customers have little or no experience with. I think many entrepreneurs are concerned about reducing their product or service to a price only discussion. But I don't think you need to start with price or make that the whole topic of conversation. Simply state the value of your product or service first and then tell customers or clients what they will need to pay to get that value.

"Bob, Thanks for this guest post and, Nelson, thanks for sharing it with everyone on the BizSugar community. It's long been said you should write for people not just search engines, and the new algorithm is certainly making that the case. I wonder if either of you could give us your views of just what makes top notch content. It would be great if you could respond in the comment section of the BizSugar community as well so everyone could gain the insight."Subscribe
About Those Mobile Users… How Much Business Are You Missing?
"Hi Jon-Mikel, I think anyone with descent analytics can tell how many visitors to their site are coming from mobile devices. If you don't have a mobile friendly site, you may have lower numbers, but that's not because mobile users aren't interested in visiting. It could mean they don't want to waste their time on a site that is too hard to navigate on a smartphone. If there were a button that could just flip your website to mobile for a few days, you would soon see the difference. It's hard to imagine a Web presence today that would not be enhanced by mobile.
