The Beauty of The Internet

Friday, January 12th, 2007

As you may know, I have decided to start my own web design business. As part of my corporate strategic planning, (it’s only been a week, and I’m already beginning to talk like a first-year business student, or worse, a marketing student), I set up a new website: www.rubicondesigns.net.

This website has existed for less than 2 weeks. Today I received an email from a company in Romania asking if there was any additional work that I could pass their way. I also received an email from a hosting company in the States asking if I would like to join their affiliates program. And these were emails from real people, not automatically generated spam.

New Website

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

My new website is up and running: www.rubicondesigns.net. I finally decided that I would go ahead take my web design hobby to the next level. I have my business cards ordered and expect them to arrive shortly.

While it doesn’t mean the end of this website, it does mean that even without it generating any new business I’ll have to devote some time to getting it fully operational. As well as a marketing tool, I have also decided to make it into a technical support site, so I now have a forum and trouble ticket section to maintain. I have a lot of articles and FAQ’s to write, so it will take up a lot of my free time.

With any bit of luck, this will generate some income, but if not, it’s still experience to put on my CV.

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

After much deliberation and thought, and very little planning, I’ve decided to do some freelance web-design and PC repair. So my site is now going to be a marketing tool for my new “business”. (It’s not a business in the sense that I expect to make a living solely from it, but I do hope to make enough to pay off my credit card, with some left over for some new gadgets.) I’ll be keeping the day job and I’ll do this in my spare time.
