I just read an article about a Virginia Judge who ruled that a sheriff had the right to fire an employee because that employee “liked” the sheriff’s political opponent’s Facebook page. In some states that would be a fireable offense, but Virginia law actually allows public employees to speak out on political matters because Virginia [...]
Kristina Leroux.com has made it another 12 months. Yay me! Considering some statistics show 95% of online businesses fail in the first year, that makes me like 30 in Internet years or something.
Again, I want to give a big THANK YOU to my clients! I have the privilege of working with some of the best and most [...]
I, as do many of my clients, have several different email addresses, but forward all of those emails to one Gmail account. Unfortunately, the fine folks at Gmail can sometimes take their sweet time checking for emails sent to those forwarded addresses. In some instances, Gmail has taken over an hour to check these accounts.
That’s [...]
A Facebook friend of mine posted a link to a new website a friend of theirs had recently launched, so I decided to check it out. (Ah, the power of social media) The home page looked pretty good so I decided to look around a bit more (always a good sign).
I should mention that this website [...]
Howdy, strangers! I have recently come to a startling conclusion: I have not gotten a single client because of my Facebook page or LinkedIn profile. Nor have I gotten a single client due to a tweet or blog post. Not a one. All of my clients have come from either referrals and introductions from my [...]
*Note: I am going to use the word “brand” to mean your Facebook page (that thing on Facebook you set up for your organization) to help differentiate it from your personal Facebook profile (that thing on Facebook you use to play Farmville and wish your friends “happy birthday”). If you think the word “brand” is [...]
How was your summer? Mine was pretty darned good, but I learned something about me and blogging. Despite having trouble keeping a consistent blogging schedule in general, things get really bad in the summer. Most times of the year, I at least think, “Oh. I need to write a blog post soon,” even if I [...]
For my coaching clients out there (or anyone else who needs to offer an appointment schedule), I think this is a great addition to Google Calendar. Now you can schedule slotted appointment times and invite your clients to choose from those times you have made available. Here’s how to set it up:
1. Open your [...]
As most of my readers know, I love me some Google and especially Gmail. So here are the 5 tips I use most often:
1. If you’re like me, you have more than one Gmail account, but now Google will not let you open more than one at a time. Or so they think! If you [...]
Well, my website is anyway. I am…well, older than 1. Obviously.
(In fairness, I don’t know the actual date I published my website, but this is when Google started noticing it so I’m going with that. Work with me, people.)
Thanks are definitely in order!
To my family who have supported me until I could stand on my [...]
I needed someone I could trust with sensitive customer data, someone who could handle a million details that were driving me crazy, and someone who would follow through without whining or being reminded ten times. I found it in Kristina!
