That's MY business!

It happened again last week. I set out to provide a little information in response to a couple of requests, and ended up creating an entire web site before I realised it. In fact, several web sites!

Normally, I plan out a web site fairly carefully. But, just occasionally, this kind of thing happens. I grows and grows, just like Topsy. I'm not sure why.

The upshot of all this is that I now have a web site I can point people to whenever they ask "John, what do you do for a living?" and my heart sinks, because I do so many things and it would take forever to explain it all.

I realised that some of the more technical terms and descriptions may not mean much to visitors, so I began posting manual pop-up windows with succinct explanations linked to those terms. Then I realised that I had products or programs related to those aspects of small business or direct selling that could be helpful to visitors. Then it dawned on me that these pages could be helpful if they were available from ALL of my business web sites if I linked them to those sites.

Are you beginning to see the chain reaction happening here?

This could become a nightmare so easily! *lol*

Still, the new site is a useful promotional resource for prospective small business and direct selling profession clients. Not only does it explain what I do, in as much detail as they need and choose, but it does it on a more personal level, because it's part of my personal domain. Since my clients tend to all become friends, that has to be a good thing.

I think!

Anyway, here's the new site: http://www.johncounsel.biz
