Freelance content writing, is a phrase that might require some explanation. At its broadest, the phrase describes the process of providing the publishers with textual content for web or offline communication.

Differentiated from reporting, content writing is a more generalized form of technical writing, limiting the expertise of the writer to general overviews rather than specifics. There is, of course, room for very technical content, but that need is generally met by in-house experts or technically qualified writers. Unfortunately, those same experts have a more difficult time reducing their knowledge to a form more attractive to the net surfer.

Some of the biggest concerns in entering the solvent print / wide format market is maintenance, material waste, and length of time before your printer is obsolete. There can be many advantage though such as controlling your workflow, color management, and choice of media to offer your clients. I’ve been on both sides of the fence.

It was a fairly hassle-free process sending my digital files out and receiving prints back in a matter of days for installation. I’d recommend outsourcing vehicle wrap prints to smaller sign shops who wish to keep their cost per square foot always the same.

This may the true price of purchasing solvent ink and media, but what this doesn’t factor in is: damaged or spliced sections of media, printing errors, test prints, maintenance such as head replacement (every year for most depending on usage), and of course a protective media laminate.

Often I am requested by my client companies to help improve their offshore operations - they are experiencing various symptoms which are becoming all too common in offshoring - high turnover of offshore staff, costs beginning to escalate and senior management is not sure if offshoring makes sense.

Upon further analysis, I usually find that over a period of time since offshoring effort began there has been turnover of management and if there was a vision up front no one can now articulate it in a cohesive manner and for sure not something the whole management team would agree on.

Many companies laugh off the idea of using inside sales or telemarketing professionals in order to generate leads or close business over the phone. Yet the biggest companies and the best in class firms across just about every industry are using that as part of their arsenal in order to accelerate their sales and drive their growth.

Or, they are actually performing inside sales functions and closing deals over the phone.
