Abhijeet Mukherjee 14th August Communication 6 Comments

Getting coverage from blogs for your business or product isn’t easy. Bloggers get too many pitches nowadays and there is every chance of your pitch getting ignored even if your product is a genuine fit for the readers.

If you are a small business owner looking for some online press, you should read this guide on blog coverage. Written by Lisa Barone on the Small Business Trends blog, the article has useful tips on things to follow and avoid while pitching bloggers.

The Importance of Vacation Time

Sara Hodon 14th August Your Job 3 Comments

Many of us have an aversion to using our vacation time. This seems to be more prevalent in the United States than in the rest of the world, and I’m not sure why, since we get fewer days off than most other countries. For some of us, we just feel too guilty about taking days off. We think our workplace will shut down if we’re not there to pull our weight. Others get a similar vibe (either real or perceived) from their managers or co-workers. In any case, think about how many times you’ve heard yourself or one of your colleagues say “I have too much to do and can’t get away” as you bury yourself further into another project.

(Editor’s Note: This article is the first in a data backup and sync series here on WorkAwesome.)

So, while you know that data should be backed up, it is important that you setup automated processes so that it is done behind the scenes every day.
