We’re feeling a little overwhelmed around here.

Posted on 30 January 2008 by Lara Kulpa

Change is a choice. One that needs making.Things have been really busy here at Anubis Marketing. I mean, REALLY BUSY! And no, that’s nowhere near the realm of being a complaint, but it does require that we make a few changes as we progress into the second month of this new, wonderful year!

I’ll just get right to the point(s):

  • We’re slacking on blogging. This is clearly not good, as we really try to encourage our clients to be heavily active with their blogs, yet we can’t seem to get ours on a good schedule. So that’s one thing that we’re really going to focus on in the immediate future.
  • We’re bored with the layout of the site. Aside from the issues we had yesterday and this morning (a 500 Internal Server error caused by something with our .htaccess file that we didn’t discover until after we deleted our entire installation of WordPress), the site as a whole needs an overhaul in many ways, one being design. Quick fix: Redesign it. Quicker fix: Get someone else to design it. Lightning quick fix: Get another theme and tweak it until we get what we want. We’re still fussing with this one, so if you see things looking a little odd around here, you’ll know why.
  • Our focus is too widespread. We’re narrowing down the services we offer up outright, and reserving certain things for either current clients, or for really special potential ones. Don’t get nervous - It’s not like we’re getting snobby or anything here! It just means that based on our current workload at the time of your request, we’re going to have to work hard on scheduling and time constraints.
  • We love WordPress and want to contribute more to the community. Focusing on themes, we’re planning on releasing a bunch of free ones and premium (paid) ones in the coming months. The legal stuff and the actual theme work is a little time consuming, so please bear with us, but this is a promise we’re making now to the WP community, both current and future.
  • We want to expand some of the services that we’re not giving enough attention to at the moment. One of the things we love to do is help coordinate marketing events. We’ve done this in the past for Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net, both online and offline, and it’s something we really enjoy. (Plus, we’ve been told we’re pretty good at it!)

So there you have it - just some of the main things we’re looking at changing up around here. Stay tuned, because we’re really excited, and we hope you’ll feel that way too!

Introducing Anywired.com

Posted on 11 January 2008 by Lara Kulpa

As some of you know, I do a lot of work with ProBlogger Darren Rowse. His first staff writer, Skellie, has launched a new blog called Anywired - Work Online. Work Anywhere. Live Free.

She’s got a fantastic post there, much like my series on telecommuting, that gives 15 reasons to get connected and work online.

The bottom line here is that Anywired can help not just individuals, but businesses as well, to understand the value in telecommuting or freelancing. I think that in the next 5 years, we’re going to see many more entrepreneurs going solo and working wirelessly from anywhere in the world. Personally, I’m aiming for a beach house somewhere in the Caribbean!
