People are using the internet as their main source for information, entertainment, and job searching in record numbers. An April, 2008 report from the Audit Bureau of Circulation showed that newspaper circulation fell yet again, this time by 3.6%. This isn't a new trend, in fact, newspaper readership has been declining for the past 20 years!  However, "That decline is certainly worse than in the past few years,'' said Rick Edmonds, media business analyst at the Poynter Institute. Newspapers are growing less and less relevant, especially as internet technology advances. By contrast the online job search category grew by 5% in April 2008, with gains reported by Indeed.com, SimplyHired, and AOL. The online job search market is the place to be to get your job opening seen. ClassifiedFlyerAds.com allows employers to quickly and easily create an online job ad from one of our several predesigned job templates. ClassifiedFlyerAds.com then posts the ad to more than a dozen onlone job boards and classified directories, including Indeed.com, SimplyHired, and AOL. Posting html for the job ad is also provided for Craigslist and other sites that do not allow automatic posting. Using a job ad posting service saves time and increases exposure for the job opening. In addition, it is much less expensive than most newspaper advertising and other online job advertising options.http://www.classifiedflyerads.com/blog/Why-You-Need-to-Post-Job-Openings-Online/11061/post_details/857/2008-06-05 17:25:30Motivate Your Staff - 4 Failproof TipsHow would you respond if the only professional feedback you ever received was negative? Would you feel pressured? Scared to lose your job? Bitter or Cynical towards your employer? Perhaps you would feel any of these things, but one thing you would not feel is motivated. You would probably have no true desire to be productive or improve. People need encouragement and positive reinforcement to succeed (or even to want to succeed). With that concept in mind, let's take a look at four failproof ways to stimulate your staff and get them motivated: Give Praise Freely   Some of us have such a hard time delivering a simple compliment, but alas, it must be done! Employees who feel like their efforts go unnoticed and unappreciated will be less likely to perform as well in the future. Without praise and recognition, people lose motivation as well as a sense of purpose. So here's what you do: Make a concious effort to thank or compliment at least one employee every day. In doing so, you'll almost certainly also encounter the beneficial side effect of a marked boost in the overall morale at your workplace. Set Attainable Goals   People like to feel as though they've acheived something at the end of the day, week, or year. Think back to when you scored that basket, aced that test, or cooked that first real meal. It made you feel proud, even motivated, right?  In order for this to happen in the workplace, clear and reachable goals need to be established and communicated for each employee or team. So here's what you do: Develop goals, set a realistic time frame for completion, then evaluate current goals and set new ones. This process should be an ongoing part of your business. Create Competition   This one takes goalsetting to the next level because it makes it social. Now, not all people are competitive by nature, and some won't want to "play".  However, you may be missing out on inspiring major productivity in many of your staff who are competitive. So here's what you do: Create a contest at work that appeals to that competitive spirit, and the more public, the better. This one also has a beneficial side effect: making work fun. Who would've thunk it? Practice What You Teach   How effective do you think it is when teachers who smoke tell their students not to smoke? It's not! This is because when you say something but do the exact opposite, people don't respect or listen to what you have to say. So if you want motivated employees, get motivated yourself first! So here's what you do: Come into work with a smile, say hello to your staff and use their name, encourage them, and overall, just be positive! You'll be amazed at what a huge effect such little effort will produce. Helpful advice for making the most of these tips: Write these four steps down or commit them to memory (c'mon, it's only 4 things). The next time you go into work, use them and teach them. In fact, teach others to use them and teach them. Then you'll really start to see a difference! If you don't try, you won't succeed, or more eloquenlty put, by Anthony Robbins: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten." Try these Four Steps and let me know about your results!   http://www.classifiedflyerads.com/blog/Motivate-Your-Staff--4-Failproof-Tips/11061/post_details/699/2008-05-07 18:11:19How To Use Web 2.0 to Build a Business Presence OnlineStart Here If you've been in business anytime in tha past decade, then you've no doubt heard that the web is important to your success. And if phrases like "web 2.0", "blogging", and "social networking" make you a little uneasy, then fear not! You are definitely not alone. In this hub, I'll give you a short overview of what you need to know about online success as well as several resources to help get you caught up. You'll need to know a few of the basics to get started, so here goes: What is Web 2.0? The answer to that question could fill a book, but I'll give you the basic description from Tim O'Reilly himself (the man who first coined the term): "[In Web 2.0] the cardinal rule is this one: Users add value. Figuring out how to build databases that get better the more people use them, is actually the secret sauce of every (successful) Web 2.0 company". Web 2.0 is much more than a page on your computer screen. It's interactive, it's a conversation, it's alive. How Can I Use It For My Benefit? Becoming a part of the online community is important for building your internet presence and reputation. If you've signed up here at HupPages, then you're already on your way! Soon, you can progressively build traffic to your other sites and establish yourself as a leader in your field. If done right, this will become an invaluable tool for your business success. How Do I Do It? The internet is brimming with websites that offer you an online identity. MyBlogLog is a good place to start to see a smattering of what's out there. When you sign up, you'll see a whole host of sites that you can go to for continuing your online development. Each site offers you a personal profile with a unique web address, which you can use to advertise yourself or your services. What's The Best Way to Advertise Online? The answer to this depends on how much money you have. Assuming you're like the majority of people, you probably want the most bang for the least amount of bucks. Blogging is a great (free) way to advertise yourself and your services, and there are lots of blogging platforms to get you started. You can also use free classified sites like Craigslist or OLX to advertise job ads, real estate listings, products for sale, and services. There are also popular services like ClassifiedFlyerAds.com that automatically post your ads to tons of sites for very little cost. Essential Points to Remember When you first get started, gaining online success may seem like a daunting task. Here are some important points to keep in mind as you go into the wild blue yonder: Don't Give Up. If you start today with your online campaign, and by tomorrow aren't an overnight success, don't give up! Anything worth anything takes effort, continual contribution, and persistence. Be Active. Signing up for profiles on a hundred different sites, then just sitting back, will get you nowhere. You must contribute to these sites by continually submitting blogs, comments, links, news, and other useful information. The more you do this, the fatter your online presence becomes. Research and Observe. Read others blogs on topics you want to know about. Find successful online personalities and mimick what they do. Keep aware of trends and observe how others communicate.

It looks impeccable and seems to make the job seeker out to be the ideal candidate. But how reliable and accurate is it? Or do you rely on the interview? The candidate answers all of your situational questions flawlessly and carries an apparently natural charm. But how much of that is an act perfected from countless failed interviews in the past? Or do you rely on references? The potential employee seems to have left previous employers on good terms, all of whom can’t speak highly enough about the candidate. But will they be right for this job? Before you even begin to wrestle with these questions, you need to be able to attract the right applicants with an effective job ad. 3 Simple Steps to Your Job Ad Success There are many factors that go into creating and posting a job ad that will attract the right applicants.
