Organizing Your Business

I've got two resolutions for you. They're easy tech things that you can do to help you save some time. One is for your computer and one is for your phone.

The first one for your computer is how to turn off your Facebook newsfeed. Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this on your phone yet, so that can still suck up your time.

If you find yourself going to Facebook and just getting sucked into that newsfeed. And all of a sudden it's like an hour or two later. You go to do one thing… or look in a group… or just do some business stuff. And that newsfeed just sucks you in and you don't even like it.

They tease you at first by posting a picture of a friend's kid. And it's cute. And the baby. And awesome things that you want to just like and support.

Then all of a sudden you get into all the political stuff. And you just wanna scream and rip your hair out. And you're not even happy at the end of it. Then you realize that you've wasted like two hours reading all this stuff.

Well, I can tell you how to turn off that newsfeed so you don't have to worry about it. You can go to Facebook. Do your group stuff. Do your business stuff. And then just get off of it. Because there's no newsfeed to suck you in.

We're going over what is 404 error page and why should you care? And how it is either helping or hurting your online business. Here's a big hint. You really should care.

What is a 404 error page? What in the world are you talking about Tia?

It's called a file not found error. I'm sure you've come across a 404 error before. You go to a webpage, and you type in a specific URL or a specific page or blog post or something and that post is now gone. It's got a different URL, or it just doesn't exist anymore.

So when you type in that specific URL, for example, you type in tiahain.com/15crazysauce.

Well, there's nothing called 15-crazysauce, because that's not what I titled the episode. So if you typed that in, you would get my 404 error page.

"It's like I don't know what you're talking about and so I'm going to tell you I don't know what you're talking about." The way the website tells you that, is it gives you that 404 error page. It's like, "File not found, don't know what it is."

So the actual website exists, because if the website didn't exist it would say, "I don't even know what website you're talking about."

You wouldn't get a specific 404 error page. The website exists, but that specific URL ON that website doesn't exist. If you have a bunch of different letters and just one letter could be wrong. It'll take that person to the 404 error page.

Most of the time, people get to a 404 error page because they're looking for something very specific.

This episode is sponsored by your PDF with 404 Error Videos.

You might be thinking to yourself, "Great, Tia! That's all well and good but HOW am I supposed to create this 404 Error page you tell me I should design specifically?

Don't worry. I got you covered. A while ago, I created videos on how to make a 404 Error page if you have WordPress and LeadPages… if you have WordPress and a plugin… and if you use Squarespace. Just go to TiaHain.com/21download.

You will get access to a PDF with the links to all the videos. Those videos will show you how to add a specific 404 Error Page if you have WordPress and Leadpages if you have SquareSpace, or if you just have WordPress and you want a good free plugin to use.

We're almost at the end of the year, but this week's Tech Tip Tuesday is about an app that I love using to organize my recipes. And it may not sound like it's business related, but if you do a lot of cooking, this app will save you a ton of time that you can use for other things.

So the app I'm talking about is called Paprika, as in… is it a spice or an herb? It's a spice, right? Paprika, the pretty red thing that you put on deviled eggs. I'm sure it goes in other stuff, too...

Anyway, the app is called Paprika. I would suggest getting it. I'm not sure if you have to look for Paprika app for recipes or just look for Paprika in the App Store, but I've been using it for the last couple of years now.

I didn't think I would use it. I'm like old school. I' a -have my index cards- kind of person. And since I use my phone so much for everything anymore, I found the index cards are kind of annoying. And it's hard for me to find stuff.

I would suggest getting this app if you love to cook or anything because it organizes your recipes so nicely.

This is the third in the How To Build Your Own Website series. We went over WordPress.org. We went over WordPress.com. And today we are going over Squarespace.

I have actually used all three at different times in my life. I'm getting tempted to go back to Squarespace. I already built my whole website, my current one, on WordPress.org. Because I'm so picky and I've been doing this so long, building websites for people, I have a hard time handing it off to someone else.

Right now, I'm just trying to focus on the content for this podcast, and helping people organize their business systems and their technology and stuff. So I don't wanna get bogged down by redoing my website.

But I actually really love Squarespace and the idea of Squarespace. In my opinion, if you are just getting started... You haven't used WordPress.org before. You aren't used to that kind of system. And you're not a super techy person. Like you really do not like the idea of digging into the CSS and possibly HTML and everything of your website to make it exactly how you want it... I would suggest to really give Squarespace a shot.

This might be kind of a long episode. There's a lot to go over. I'm gonna try and dig into it as much as possible. So if you go over these three episodes, you can really get an idea, and probably figure out which one you wanna go with.

Squarespace is a really good one to use if you don't wanna hire it out. You just don't have the funds to have someone else build your website, but you don't really wanna learn a whole lot about technology.

I'm going to break down Squarespace here into a bunch of different sections so we can just go over one section at a time to see how it works.

We're going to go over an easy to use, super, super simple to use, and inexpensive transcription service for if you want anything transcribed.

I'm talking about rev.com. Some of you may have heard of it. Some of you may not have heard of it. But I'm going to talk all about it and how you can use it and how much it costs, etc.

First, an interesting little fact about me. I used to work for a closed captioning service.

Long, long time ago, it seems like forever, I wanted to be an actress. So I moved to LA. Getting a job waiting tables is actually really difficult in LA. If you can do it, you can make really good money, but it's actually kind of difficult.

One of the jobs I had was working for a closed captioning service. I wasn't the person that did the closed captioning live, because I am not that fast of a typist, but I'm really good at timing.

Even though I wasn't the best typist in the world, I did really good at the closed captioning stuff. I thought when I wanted to transcribe things like my podcast or videos that I've made or any of that stuff, I'll just do it myself and it'll be really easy. It'll just be like when I used to work at the closed captioning place.

It is not easy, and it takes a lot of time. Unless you are a super duper fast typist. Typing wasn't required when I was in school, so I never learned how to type without looking at the keyboard. Sometimes I can type well just because I've been doing it so long since now we work on computers.

But trust me when I say that unless you are a super fast, accurate typist, one thing you are not going to want to do is type any of your own transcriptions. Any of your own closed captions, if you are doing them for videos or anything.

This is not something you want to do for yourself.

This is the first thing you want to outsource. This is the first thing I outsourced, it is super easy to do, and it's really not that expensive when you think about how much you're spending compared to how much time it would take you to do your own transcriptions for anything you're doing.

Last week we went over WordPress.org, so this week we are going to compare WordPress.org to WordPress.com. Yeah, there's a big difference.

WordPress dot org AND WordPress dot com. They are 2 completely different beasts.

Well, not completely different. WordPress dot com is owned by the people who started WordPress dot org.

But WordPress dot org is an open-source software that anyone can take and make work however they want. While WordPress dot com is a software-as-a-service company that is very similar to other website builders, like Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, etc.

The reason I'm doing this episode is because a lot of people mix them up. I've had people tell me before that they're already on WordPress, but what I'm saying doesn't make much sense to what they're looking at.

Then I take a look at their site and it's like, "Well, you're on WordPress.com, which is different than WordPress.org."

It also makes a big difference in how your website works with your business, so you want to make sure you make the right choice. To make the right choice, you need to know all your options.

Today, I am going to tell you how I use my Dropbox account on my phone to save me time and headaches. Welcome to another Tech Tip Tuesday.

I'm going to go over how I use my Dropbox account on my phone to save me a lot of time and headaches. I actually have my phone in front of me, so hopefully, I won't do the thing where I'm looking at my phone and not talking to the microphone.

I will do my best on this one, but I want to make sure I go over everything. It actually should be pretty quick, but there are a few things that seriously have been amazing and have totally saved my butt.

I'm going to go over the few things that I've got on here. It looks like I've got one, two, three, four, five to go over, and these should all be available in the free version.

I happen to have the pro version. One step up from free version. Where you pay 10 bucks a month. It is awesome and amazing. You get a ton of storage space that I haven't even come closing to using yet. But all these things should be available in the free version.

One of the first things I do is…

***NOTE*** - Don't know how important it is to you, but about half way through the episode I mentioned that I have 4 albums that pop up when I hit "Starred." I meant folders. Not albums. Just in case it was a bit confusing. I didn't even catch it until I was writing the notes.

The next few Thursday episodes are going to be all about How to Choose the Best DIY Website Builder to build your website yourself. And today's episode is all about wordpress.org.

For the next three Thursday episodes, I'm going to be going over the three kind of options that are out there. The best options that are out there for building your own website.

This week we're going over wordpress.org. Next week I'm going to compare wordpress.org to wordpress.com. They get confused sometimes, so we'll go over exactly what the differences are and which one you'd rather use.

And then the week after that I'm going to go over Squarespace. Squarespace is one of my favorite ones to use. Personally, I would say it's basically between wordpress.org and Squarespace.

And then if you listen to the three episodes, you'll understand the differences and hopefully be able to choose which one is best for you.

I decided to do this series on the How to Choose the Best DIY Website Builder because a lot of people, when they're first starting a business, are on a budget. They need something that is free or almost free to get the things going.

WordPress.org  is one of the better ones to use. This is one you have more control over, but this is also one that you have to not be afraid of technology and realize that you're going to get your hands a little dirty as far learning technology.

It's not going to be what they call a WYSIWYG. A what-you-see-is-what-you-get when you go to design it. You have to be open to learning technology.I'm just going to go over a few things that you want to do.

We're going to go over an easy to use and free screen recording software.

If you've been looking for a solution to record your computer screen without paying a fortune for a screen recording software, you are going to love this episode.

I am super excited about this one. It may sound silly but I have been looking for a screen recording software that I could use on my PC. Because I have Macs and PCs. Because I'm weird that way. I use them for different things but that's neither here nor there.

For my Mac I can just use QuickTime to record my screen. That's never been a big deal. It would be nicer to have a nicer version of it, but it works great if I need to record my screen. I don't have anything for my PC without having to spend a fortune. Drives me crazy. I don't want to spend a ton of money just to record my screen.

There is actually a software that I really like, if you are looking for something to not only record your screen but do video editing and you have a PC. I'll do another podcast about that later. Just to let you know it's called Filmora by Wondershare. But it still costs $60 for a lifetime access to it.

This one that I'm going to tell you about is totally, totally free. So, if you're just looking for something to record your screen.

Let's get into it.

This episode is sponsored by your Loom Tutorial download.

I bet you are intrigued by the idea of using Loom to create screen captures, right? Otherwise you wouldn't be listening to this podcast episode.But now you are feeling a little daunted about learning ANOTHER new software. It takes time and energy. 2 things you don't have an abundance of.Don't worry. I got you covered. I made a video tutorial of how to use Loom. Which feels kinda meta if you think about it. Using screen capture to show you how to use a screen capture software.Just click here for your Loom TutorialI will send you a link to the video so you can learn all about Loom and how it works.

Part of my business is building websites for people. I get asked over and over again, do I really need a website for my business?

The short answer is yes, you need a website. It doesn't even need to be something spectacular, but you do need a website for your business. And I'm going to spend this podcast telling you the reasons why you need a website for your business.

In a future podcast, though, I think I will go over what you want to have on your website. The more important things to have on your website.

But right now, this is just to convince you yes, you do need a website for your business. It's not that hard. They're actually pretty easy to make up nowadays. But let's just get into it, and go over the reasons why need one.
