2012 is upon us so new plans for many, or your starting to work them out.
What would you like to learn about in 2012 ?

interesting results so far

Nice signature line you have there mate, as someone that suffers with Anxiety etc that makes good sense. Another one I read recently went something like this.
A Rocking Chair is like Anxiety, it might keep you busy for a while, but it only goes backwards and forwards, you don't actually get anywhere ;)
Better to have a life full of "oh well's" than one full of "what if's" ;D

Nothing ......... and in that vein i would like to study medicine this year and save lives though it would take me a bit longer than a year and id be an aging student doctor or learn about the property world. :D

Vince has to do with the business side of window cleaning , do you not do any of this things listed ?
I'm a little shocked you don't think has anything to do with window cleaning seeing as we all need to market our business.

It's called Marketting - Windowashers is marketting his business to you it ends with one of those "phone me at home" sign offs. You'll even get the chance to send a fee to Ian for advice I wouldn't mind betting ;D

There seems to be many "mark etting" experts who have been expertly "mark etting" for years with not much real advance. Seems strange when Mark etting, who does no mark etting seems to advance more than most of 'em!! ;D ;D

p.s was not going to end with a phone me at home at all, I don't need to be underhand, I want to see what the poll brings.
Please trust me your not my target market it is the ones that don't have to snip at people I would love to hear from tbh, but if it keeps you amused then fair play.
Winpro you know nothing about me as a person or what I do apart from what I allow you to know, sniping at me is not needed ;)

Don't worry about things over which you have no control. Having viable options/plans put you in control whether that is a second business to run alongside window cleaning, additional skills or qualifications that might help you if things go pear shape. Anxiety then diminishes when you are not worrying about the ifs, buts & maybe's.
Keeping in the theme of the post it would be a skill that complements my existing business if I was wanting to expand or find more lucrative work. i.e. abseiling or setting up a specific marketing strategy to target a particular market which is what I suspect the OP is asking about.
Personally I will not be doing any of the above which isn't an option so I won't be voting! ;D

Thanks for posting, what are you doing this year compared to last year if you don't mind me asking ?
-
Unexpected change to circumstances a while ago so sold to reduce workload to a minimum level for me.
Have an increasing commitment in another line of work.
Shock to system but had a plan B (& C!) which meant no real need to panic - hencemy post. Nothing I could do with circumstances but I had control over future planning.
Not meant to sound smug just offering advice.

I don't, I haven't advertised in years. The work comes to me, more than I know what to do with.

Also, what you'd like to know more about, and what you intend learning more about in 2012 are two completely different things.
I'd like to know more about SEO, but I don't plan on devoting a huge amount of my time to it - there's certain things that are more suitable at paying experts for than devoting hours of your own labour to learning about (and implementing).
-
if you dont take any action I guess your right on the first part
The second part I agree with you, although some people like to learn things instead of paying for them.

need only 20 more people to vote on this to give the correct findings

Well ive recently built a website, i decided to build it myself, as i thought it would be a skill that would stand me in good stead for the future, plus i was quoted £1,200 for a 5 page site in a particular CMS, its money for oid rope with half of em. My site currently has about 140 pages and growing.
Building the site was a tough struggle, the SEO is another, and an ongoing one. But if it was easy everyone would be doing it wouldn't they!

:o 140 pages thats some site, 5 page site for £1,200 is a joke, max £500 with it seo'd. Swear half of these companies live in the 90's

Yes thats what i thought, and most of them use the same template just change the graphics and a couple of colour options. They think everyone falls for this "web developer" hype. Times are a changing. I could build a quality 5 page site now and would charge about £300, would take me about 7-8 hours with supplied artwork and copy, social media links etc. Not that i want the work mind.

building the website is not what takes the time imo, it is what is behind it that takes the time and makes it work, looks are just for vanity. Templates are made to make design easy, making them work is another field all together and this changes with every panda update

Sorry , But this is a poorly worded survey!
The options are not comparable, For example Facebook and linkedin are Examples of S.E.O (which is another option)
They are also places to advertise so could be considered a tick in the "where to advertise" box. There will be a bias towards the Broader Headings -SEO and Where to Advertise.
|Good Comments though !

I can see where you are coming from, but SEO can be done with out the likes of FB Li and so on, they can add to your current SEO on your website, linked in and FB are different entities in the sense one is more social and one is purely geared up for work and understanding them has a different understanding
i am going to stop there as will start to make sense soon ;D
in comes ian! ;)

thanks for the comments, but facebook and linkedin are totally different platforms, each can be used for SEO thats obvious, this was not the reason for the poll, but I too understand what you mean if you don't read it the same as me.
the reason for adding a poll is I know there are 10 times the amount of viewers that will not comment on these posts or any for that matter, they just look.
Adding a poll allows them to add to it with a click of a buttom anonymously and without the lions thats are waiting to jump on there back for putting anything that they can get there claws into.
I'm finding this poll useful also the comments being made ;)
Thanks for your post :)
