About you and your business ( please complete)

I am an extremely hard working person. I'm not looking for untold wealth, just to know that after a hard days work the bills are being paid, the odd luxury can be afforded, a little goes into the bank and a vacation once a year can be looked forward to. Happy go lucky but can get serious if and when needed. Polite and approachable and live by old fashion values.

This year is drawing to a close, and as I reflect back, I'm considering the hurdles and successes I've faced. I thought it might be worth sharing my experiences, in case someone in a similar situation is considering venturing into the self-employed…

The best thing to use on a wild flower site is a Power Scythe; we have them in our rental fleet.

Spam

Has anyone else on the forum received spam emails from SEO companies addressed to LJN saying they can improve LJN's google ranking, they are not aimed at us and am puzzled why we are receiving this junk from these scum bags.

Hi David

I do hope you are busy and business is going well?

I note from your profile that you haven't been active for a while. I just wanted to remind you that LJN and me are still here and I hope we can still be of use to you?

With now just shy of 3,500 members we have over 9,000 topics on the forum, not to mention thousands of photos, blog posts and lots of videos too.

I thought you might be interested in our latest newsletter (to save having to search the forum for the latest hot discussions).

See here:

If there's anything you need to know of there's anything I can do to help in any way then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Landscape Juice is still here and hoping we'll see you back:)

Kind regards

David, if you would mind having a quick look at my website I would very much appreciate it and any advice you may have to improve it's visibility in cyber space.

I created it myself a few months ago and it's had barely 40 visitors a month. I wondered if it's simply a case of advertising, or if some amendments to the site itself would be useful?

Kindest regards

Hi David, could you let me know what experience you have - feel free to drop me a line. I'm pretty booked up at the moment and passing work on. Its good to develop a network of local gardeners, landscapers tree surgeons etc who you know, particularly focusing on different sectors of the industry. (Another Bristol gardener).
