Florin Muresan. Yup, the real Florin Muresan. I wrote this blog post for two reasons:
1) My Cif2.net blog gets indexed instantyl. I know. It rocks 😀
2) There’s a singer called Florin Muresan, but when people search for Florin Muresan, they want to find me. (at least in my imagination it is so.)
And also, the CBO of cif2.net is way awesome-er then a singer dude.
As an entrepreneur or any business person who has to take care of certain managerial aspects, you will come across the idea of outsourcing.
Why would you do that ?
Because you’d get some valuable help if you do it right and it will help you and your team focus on the more important things and on what you are good at.
Outsourcing for Dummies
Is there such a title in the series ? Dunno, but what I do know is: Fiverr.com is a great place to look for outsourcing.
I don’t really trust the fiverr clones, but I have used fiverr a lot these last two months and I have to tell you: It works and it rocks ! They have some good buyer protection, so even if you wind up with the wrong gig, you’ll get your $5 back.
Let’s think deep for a little.
If you need help, for example, with Usability Tests, how would you outsource it ? Go to utest.com ? They charge a whole lot of money. Last I checked it was $99 / per user testing the usability of your website.
Or usertesting.com ? I’ve heard they’re great, but they charge $39 per user.
The answer is Fiverr
On fiverr, you get some really good people with experience in the domain, testing the usability of your website and providing you with some very good and valuable reviews for .. wait for it.. $5. Yup, it’s legendary !
Of course, there are some spammy gigs around, but I found real value there and some great users. You can talk to them before paying for the gig, to check out if you like them. Some are very professional.
Get testimonials, social media ads, usability reviews, media contacts emails, SEO, backlinks, songs about how awesome your project is, logos, videos, ads, etc.
You can say hello to me while at it!
Because I also offer services on fiverr. Having so many social media contacts I said, why not put them to good use ? Check out my main gig:
Windows 8 will have a very interesting interface, which resembles the awesome interface used in Windows Mobile 7. Normal computers will finally have apps.
LazerShirts are my favorite kinds of shirts and I will have to get one of those, because they are so awesome. You’d basically rock every single party wearing those.
Here’s what I learned from them:
Hi! I would love to have you post about my awesome products at Lazershirts.com! We have a basic video right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW8Zl0dCshI that you can post – they can also use the coupon code TENOFF to receive 10% off their entire purchase!
The website should explain our product but we manufacture shirts that are able to be charged with a UV laser, that we include in every purchase.
Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!
The charge can last up to 20-30 minutes – depending on the brightness of the UV light and the darkness of the room. Typically, charge will hold well for 1-5 minutes then slowly fade, and you can always “erase” the writing by waving the light back and forth then start over!
It always is. Especially when designing an interface for a modern startup.
A very small thing can thoroughly change the way your website is perceived by people and how much they like it from the first sight. And I want it to be love-at-first-sight.
Especially since I wouldn’t want Barney Stinson coming around and saying: “Lemon Law !”
Sweet !
So it’s gonna be a long nighter again, working on some cif2.net details. But I have Pizza and I just got a Forever Fab energizer, which is like yumm-yumm 😀
And, I’ve just registered for How To Web Cluj, on the 9th of June 2011 😉
Check it out:
Oh, and did I get to brag to you guys about the fact that I’ve reached FUSION level in Cif2.net ?
Yeah, I’m friggin’ awesome 😀
WordPress as you may know wants to be a leading blog-building platform.
It doesn’t have anything REAL to offer, just some basic stuff which you can’t really customize without having to get tons o’ money out of your pockets and frankly it’s a miserable experience.
Blogspot is a way better idea and also Posterous.
I’ve written this Pamphlet post just to show that Cif2.net is awesome and it’s SEO is great ! Thank you. WordPress is quite ok.
Cluj-Napoca, 30 Mai 2011 –In Romania, este inca ceva neobisnuit sa faci cumparaturi de pe Internet. Motivele sunt lipsa de incredere atat in calitatea produselor si veridicitatea ofertei, cat si in siguranta platii. Pe de alta parte, multe site-uri au un aspect invechit, iar corectitudinea lor nu poate fi verificata.
Siteurile cu multi clienti sunt cele moderne adaptate la tehnologia 2.0, cu blog de companie, cu pagina de facebook si cu twitter sau alte tehnologii.
Fiecare dintre noi poate indragi un wesite care ne-a oferit un deal bun sau ne-a servit prompt si corect, dar care incepe sa-si piarda din atractivitate din cauza designului invechit si a lipsei tehnologiei moderne.
La o asa concurenta, siteul tau preferat pierde teren pe piata virtuala.
Ce este un Website Smart ?
“Din cate stim noi, acesta va fi primul Website Smart realizat in Romania. Nu doar telefoanele si televizoarele, cum sunt televizoarele Google TV, pot fi Smart. Noi lucram deja de un an la o platforma de creare a website-urilor Smart si le facem cu adevarat inteligente, in sensul ca acestea sunt site-uri care “cresc”, castiga experienta in functie de cat de mult se lucreaza la ele si la aspectele care fac chiar si un website simplu sa fie un website de valoare pentru mediul online. Sunt site-uri care iti spun cat de mult trebuie sa mai lucrezi pe o anumita directie, pentru a obtine rezultate targetate. De exemplu, daca ai un blog, acesta iti spune exact ce trebuie sa faci ca sa ai un numar potrivit de articole pe blog si sa alfe lumea de tine. Pe langa asta, sunt si diverse aplicatii care sa te ajute sa iti dezvolti activitatea personala sau afacerea.” declara Calin Vingan, CEO-ul Cifnet.ro
Desteptarea site-urilor din Romania va avea si un “Jurnal al desteptarii”, pe care vor fi comunicati pasii de cautare a celui mai indragit si invechit website din mediul online. Participantii vor sugera site-uri, iar implicarea fiecaruia va fi rasplatita cu
medalii si distinctii notate in jurnalul online.
Participantii vor scrie sugestiile si optiunile personale pe pagina de Facebook Cifnet: http://www.facebook.com/firmawebdesign

Always. Organize. Well, whenever you have the chance anyway.
Organizing your files may seem like a pain in the ass, but it will help you get the job done right. Especially if you’re a person with many things on your mind.
May take some time => but done right, it bring Results ! Big results, otherwise you only waste time writing stuff you never get to use, because you forget about them.
So get off your chair. Right now. Buy something to drink. Beer, juice, whatever. Then get to organizing your files. You’ll see in the following days that your job just became easier.
Plus, the beer’s good, right ?
