Say NO to rip offs
Most of us generally don't bother to go an extra mile to get a fair price
from tradesmen and that leads to about 65% being overcharged.
Try these simple steps.
1. Never agree with the first offer because tradesmen normally over price with the hope of making extra profit margin.
2.Make negotiating a necessary tool when confronted by a tradesmen.
3.Always make it clear that you need a competitive quote to match him with other suppliers,that will encourage him to lower the price.
4 Never look desperate as they can sense it and pressure you into making a quick decision.
5.Always collect useful complaint numbers for different trade organizations.
Take good care of your purse

Property and Recruitment now at YoBudget - Beat the Recession!
Today we've released our new and improved categories with an increased focus on the struggling property and recruitment areas.
You can now list and sell property on YoBudget, you can list your property until you sell it, and if you sell or meet the buyer through YoBudget there is just a small one-time fixed fee of £74.99 for the service - and befitting the YoBudget philosophy - if you don't sell, you don't pay a penny.
We've also introduced a recruitment service for our premium business members where they can post job vacancies and use our detailed profile system to find the right candidates, you need to be a premium member currently to access this service - but the pricing remains the same and we're just squeezing in more value for existing (and new) customers.
If you've recently posted jobs in old categories or are subscribed to track the old categories you don't need to do anything, we'll take care of moving you into the new categories and your jobs or job tracking will be updated over the next 24 hours.

Improve your YoBudget ranking and leads!
Following our launch success we thought we'd share a few tips with our members in order to promote their companies and get the most out of YoBudget.
Best of all, it can take as little as 15 minutes to boost your company position and prominence on our website.
Tip 1: Ensure you've written a brief profile & uploaded a company logo
By writing a brief profile on our site and uploading a profile image you'll find that you'll get 5 free reputation points in order to push your site up our ranking system, the profile and logo will also help convince future job posters to use your company should they choose to post a job within your area.
Tip 2: Be proactive!
We take most of the legwork out for you letting you know about relevent jobs via e-mail (or SMS) but it doesn't hurt to show additional interest in jobs by asking a few questions, just like in a job interview where the interviewer can be most impressed by your questions for them, a job poster may take you more seriously if you seem to ask relevent questions that show knowledge before bidding on a job.
Tip 3: Create connections
We've always had the connection feature but underplayed it in the past while we weren't as popular, but now it can be a really effective way for your company to find work - by creating a connection with companies or job posters that may have work for you in future you can make sure you always get invited to post on their jobs and vice-versa.
Tip 4: Make sure you're watching the right areas
Check that the categories you are watching are where your relevent jobs are being posted and be sure to include some 'tags' specific to your company, for example, if you are an SEO specialist make sure you include 'Search Engine Optimization, SEO, Searching, Web Rankings' as possible relevent tags, so if someone posts a web development job with a focus on SEO you'll be notified.
We hope these tips help you out and we look forward to your ongoing partnership!

Gearing up for launch!
We're working on a 'middle-ground' portfolio behind the scenes in anticipation for the launch, we've been told that a lot of people are finding the 5.8% fee a little harsh, and while this is one of the lowest fees in our market (and also VAT exempt at the moment), we can appreciate this might be offputting to some of our service providers and business members.
We're planning to introduce a small monthly package that is by no means compulsory, but will give businesses and service providers a number of perks within regards to their profile and also reduce this job fee to something much more managable, so frequent users and winners on the site can instead choose to pay a small monthly fee and recieve a cheaper rate on jobs and a number of other perks, including SMS text alerts directly to your mobile and more.
We haven't finalized all the details yet - but you heard it here first!
Thanks again for all your support and be sure to spread the word to anyone you think could benefit prior to our launch!

We've unlocked an accolade: 250 registered users!
We've hit another little milestone in our growth and managed to scoop up 250 registered users prior to launch with still little to no publicity as we ride out the rest of our public testing phase.
We consider the site fully functional, so you can register and start using it right away (just think of us like all the other fashionable web 2.0 sites with the never-ending beta phase), there are a lot of advantages of doing so and if you have a look at a few member profiles we're sure one or two will become obvious immediatly.
Can you see anything?
We've added a series of micro-rewards, or 'accolades' as we like to call them to the site, it's mostly a way of giving positive feedback to members for using the site and helping others, a perfect example would be a user who always gets 5/5 feedback for the quality of work could get an accolade to reflect this, for example 'Perfectionist', which is a fun and recognised way of our users getting feedback in order to win them more jobs.
We've also made some adjustments to the control panel pages to make them much more convenient and pave the way for the multi-user features we are working on.
Remember, the Xmas special is ending soon, so take advantage while you can!
