Café, Coffee, Work – The Perfect Combination for Productivity
Head to your local café and you’ll surely find several people with their phones and laptops running, taking care of work while relaxing and having a coffee. Most think they’re just freeloaders who are too cheap to have their own Internet connection installed at home (well, that may be partly the reason), but doing work at a coffee shop or café is actually a fantastic way to get a lot done.
Café, coffee, work— it’s a great combination for productivity. A café is a great place to get work done because it presents a conducive environment for brain activi...

Why You Need SEO Strategies To Take You to Google's Page 1
When you have a website for your business, one goal should take precedence over all else: appearing on page one of Google's search engine results pages (and the higher, the better).
The distinction "Number One" has always had a major significance, it means clinching the top spot, being the best, coming in first place ahead of the competition, becoming the undisputed leader—all positive associations that help build impressive reputations and denote excellence (except, of course, in things like Most Wanted lists but we won’t be going there).

Are Meta Tags Still Important on Your Website?
The SEO landscape is constantly changing and evolving. As such, some tactics and assets that were once considered valuable and helpful in boosting a website's SEO ranks, have either lost prominence or have been ditched in favour of other tactics.
If you are new to SEO, one of the key things that you may be wondering is whether meta tags are still relevant.
What are meta tags?
All the work involved in search engine optimisation can be classified into two groups: coding and context. Meta tags belong to the former.

5 Habits That Will Make a More Productive Entrepreneur
For most entrepreneurs, busy doesn’t even begin to describe how their days look. A business has a million and one moving parts that we need to keep an eye on, especially in the beginning stages—we can’t simply punch the clock like we did when we were employees. Now that an entire venture—and the livelihood of other people—is in our hands, the work that needs to be done and the time needed to make it all happen, can take over our lives easily if we’re not too careful.
While a bit of crazy is normal, even requisite, for any budding business owner, no one would want for c...
