Behind the Scenes in My Online Business
On my Contextures site you can download my free pivot table add-in, PivotPower. So far, I haven’t created an Excel product for sale, but a few of my Excel colleagues have.
One of the challenges is in setting a price for the software. How do you decide what to charge?
To help you through the process, you can download a free pdf file of the book Don’t Just Roll the Dice, by Neil Davidson, of Red Gate Software. If you prefer a physical copy of the book, you can buy it on Amazon.
Instead of using my personal Facebook page for business news, I’ve created two pages for Excel related updates.
One is for Contextures, and it has general Excel news and automatic updates from my Contextures blog.
The other page is for Pivot Table news, and has automatic updates from my Excel Pivot Tables blog.
It’s reasonably easy to set up your own Facebook page, but a few of the links and buttons are pretty well hidden. This blog post gives you step by step details for creating a Facebook page and adding the basic components. It will get you off to a good start, and you can fine tune it later.

I’ve just announced the Very Scary Fall Giveaway for Excel Nerds on my Contextures Blog. Lots of great Excel utilities, books and ebooks to give away, thanks to my generous Excel friends:
Ken Puls has also announced an Excel giveaway today, for WinAutomation licences. You can read the details in his blog article: WinAutomation
I’ve just added this blog to my personal website, and will post some personal opinions here, as well as Excel and consulting related posts.
Being self-employed is enjoyable, yet challenging, so I’ll share some of my experiences, and will welcome your comments.
