I went to craigslist anyway, even after I said I wouldn't. I don't want to miss any opportunities this week considering I'm going to be missing a week's worth while I'm in Florida. I got a more bites from craigslist than expected. I sent a few proposals out but let them know I was going out of town. Only time will tell how things work out.


I got Final Fantasy 3 and a DS the other day. It's easier than Final Fantasy 7,8,9 and 10... Well not easier than 10. 10 was horrible. It's been calming me down, kind of taking the edge off after a whole day of bounty hunting. I am however, going from staring at one screen to staring at another. I'm ruining my eyes, I know it. So It'll be time to get some glasses soon.

Talked to Keisha today. Passed her some freelance work I wasn't able to manage. I hope things work out. He's a nice guy.

I've been thinking about using my company to sponsor something. Most likely Vs system, the card game I play. I was thinking about the Little League teams that are sponsored buy local companies. I don't see why I can't do the same for VS system. One of the guys at the local card shop is 9th in the state. That might be a place to start recruiting people...

Just a thought...

2 steps forward

I've been thinking about my approach to getting business is slightly off. I think I need to focus my attention on business that need websites and don't know it. I came to that conclusion when I was searching craigslist.org. I was in the section for art/design and some of the projects were insane. People were looking for rocket scientist to create web pages instead of just getting one made and going from there. I went to a different section of craigslist and talked/emailed plenty of people who just want things as simple as possible. So I think I'm going to work from that angle; trying to contact doctors, layers, dentist, etc that need a way to advertise through the internet.

I'm going to Florida Friday, so I'm putting all my ducks in a row now to hit things hard when I get back.

A director at Robert Morris has been emailing me, which is good. I've been sending emails to the career counselor for weeks and nothing is happening. She might not even work there anymore. At any rate, they still want to take my picture for the newsletter and sign me up to speak about being an entrepreneur. Fine by me.

I'm about finished with Vince's site. I don't want to put it online until after I get back. That way I can track how it does, see if I can get some hits on it from various places, etc. Same thing I did with my site.

This is how things are feeling right about now... Like I'm running in circles.

Hectic

Its been a while, I know.

I've been getting calls and hits to the site through the forums

FEMA came and examined the house. The amount we should be getting wont pay for all the damage the water did. Not that we thought it would.

Haven't been able to contact the Library or RMC. I've been leaving messages and calling. Nothing.

The forums are working pretty good at getting attention to the site. I'm still working on Vince's site because we both had other projects come up.

I've been getting some decent connections with people and trying to get things rolling with them.

I've been getting calls from people who have seen the press release and my site online through searches. Optimization at its best! Thanks go to Matt for that one.

Becky's boss is supposed to hook us up with a G4. It's still in the air but I don't have any reason to see why things won't turn out good. She also told Becky she wants to meet with me about the SEO and flash work I do. Sounds good to me. I'll call tomorrow morning.

I need to just sit and get Vince's site done but so many things keep popping up. I finally talked to Godaddy and they helped me get through the options to link his site to dreamweaver. So when I am done I can FTP it up and that's it. I thought I was going to have to get Windows_FTP or some crap like that.
