: : : Thank you very much for your reply. My business is kind of small to have a separate line. About how much does it cost for a business line???? Maybe it would be worth the extra cost..
My business is small, also. Your question has prompted me to consider calling Pacific Bell and asking the cost for a one-liner in the white and YP. I'm thinking of switching the business line to a regular line, to help reduce my phone bill. Who knows, by the time you figure the monthly cost of the business line phone bill (and accessories, like VM or call waiting), it might end up being cheaper keeping your residence line and getting the "regular" one liners. Shoot, I'm paying $21.95/month for VM and our residence VM is only $7.95/month! I guess the phone company thinks businesses, regardless of the size, can afford the higher payments. Thanks for making my brain think again, Valerie!!
Another thing to remember about a business line is that you are charged for EVERY call. I use the home phone for local calls and mine for others.
: Do you know Susan Gilland's Email address? As I said before, I can't seem to get through...
It's susan@typeright.com. When I have a question regarding the board, I just e-mail her directly. Unless she's swamped, I get a reply within four hours tops.
: How has your buiness going? I hope all is well.
Extreeeeeeemely slowly. I added errands to my list of services. No, it has nothing to do with WP but hey, it gets me out of the house! lol
: Mine has been slow but after I finish up with the tax job
Do you do people's taxes as a "side job," like my errands?
: and the census job,
I'd thought of taking a census job, then of course, forgot about it.
: I hope to start pounding the pavement again.
For your business or full-time employment?
It certainly is difficult trying to maintain a happy and positive attitude when your business is so slow. Hard on the ol' motivation.
I wish us luck!! ROFL
