Summary

Today's question comes from Michael, who has a directory of service providers on his website. Should he be charging businesses to get listed in this directory, or should he continue to list people and businesses for free? Michael's site is http://www.emailoverloadsolutions.com/. I talk about the directory on my Green Exam Academy website (http://greenexamacademy.com). Do you have a question about what to include on your website? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/. Today's sponsor is Freshbooks. Go to http://www.freshbooks.com/askpat and enter "Ask Pat" for more information.

0:11.0	Hey, what's up, everybody, Pafflin here, and welcome to episode 798 of Ask Pat. Thank you so much for
0:16.1	joining me today. As always, I'm here to help you by answering your online business
0:19.9	questions five days a week. We have a great question today from Michael, but before we get to that, I do want to help you by answering your online business questions five days a week.
0:21.5	We have a great question today from Michael, but before we get to that, I do want to thank
0:24.6	today's sponsor, which is FreshBooks.
0:26.7	You know, they serve me in millions of other companies with helping us manage our business
0:31.0	finances from easily keeping track of the expenses to keeping track of the income, of course,
0:36.4	but also invoicing. That's one of my
0:38.4	favorite things that I've been doing lately through FreshBooks is the invoicing. So in less than
0:43.3	30 seconds, I can send a bill to somebody for somebody who I've coached or a company that I've
0:48.4	consulted with, and it makes it really easy to create that professional invoice too. But also,
0:53.4	I get to see who has already paid of course
0:56.1	but also who has already opened or not open that invoice which makes it really easy to follow
1:01.0	up with and then actually just continue to ask that person to uh check out the invoice if they haven't
1:06.0	opened it yet so i highly recommend checking out fresh books for all of those things so if you
1:10.2	want to check them out for free for 30 days, give them a free trial at
1:13.3	freshbooks.com slash Ask Pat.
1:15.6	And make sure you enter Ask Pat in the How Did You Hear About Us section?
