If You blink don't worryRecently, I was accused of "throwing too much information out too quickly" . In a conversation with a service owner, frustration was expressed to me that she felt she did not have time to run her cleaning business and keep up with the activity on Home Cleaner Magazine. She said, "Gosh Perry, if I blink I feel like I have missed something, I paid my money I want to be able to see it all."

I could detect that she did genuinely feel frustrated; however I took what she said to me as a compliment! ("T", I hope that is okay with you)

This did make me stop and think about the volume of information we publish almost on a daily basis. Once I thought about it and reflected, I realized how it could be over whelming, especially to a first time reader. This realization prompted me to focus my blog this week on a general over view of how to get the most out of the online content, especially if you do not have time to visit everyday. I hope you find this information helpful and it enhances your "interactive experience" at Home Cleaner Magazine Online.

Articles
New articles and information are published almost everyday. Articles are listed in order by date published, the newest are always on top. The most recent articles are accessible on the home page after the introduction information. Articles are also categorized by topic and area. Readers can access the topics and categories directly on the left side menu of any page.

If you are researching a specific topic you can enter "search keywords" about what you are looking for in the "search block"- located on the left hand side of the website, toward the bottom. This feature will "pull up" any related articles and information that matches what you are looking for, example, you want to learn about marketing, you could type in "marketing", or "marketing on a budget". The more specific you get, the more your search will narrow down.

Live Industry Discussions
Information about upcoming live discussions is listed just like articles. They are also included in a separate section "Industry Discussions", located by a link on the top menu of the page. Once subscribers are logged in and open the link, call instructions and times are posted right inside the article itself, so you always have instant access to the call in information. Remember attending the live calls are always FREE for Home Cleaner Magazine subscribers. 

If you miss the live call or simply would like a recording, access is available to a recorded download of each call through the HCM online store for only $9.95 ( and additional 15% off). They are available and once purchased for the small fee, are available for instant download. There are also other educational items available at discounted prices from our partners.

Free Online Discussions on Linkedin
In the last two months over 125 owners have gotten "linked in" to the industry discussions hosted by Home Cleaner Magazine. There is no charge, all you need to do to participate is set up your free Linkedin profile if you do not already have one.

A wide range of topics are covered, providing an opportunity for owners to share and exchange information freely. After all, that is what Home Cleaner Magazine is all about, creating ways for professionals in the industry to CONNECT, LEARN, and GROW!

I hope that you find this information useful in enhancing your Home Cleaner Magazine Experience, because Perry has no intentions of slowing down, if anything I am just getting started!
