Very good tips in the article... the best being - Volunteer

It's amazing how many new skills you can pick up while volunteering and how helpful the contacts you make can be when looking for a job. For years, I've given free websites to non-profit agencies with no thought to getting anything back but for the past few years, I began to notice that almost all of my clients were coming from word of mouth directly from the agencies I donated the sites and hosting to fill my hours and help out agencies who didn't have the money for a good site... I didn't even put our company link on the sites or get a tax benefit because it was just the right thing to do and felt so good (which is the real reward) but our business keeps growing because when I was home and bored and reaching out to keep active, it paid dividends down the road.
