New Business - Step 1
For a while now I’ve been trying to think of a means of getting a sustained income with a minimal amount of input. Basically put, I’ve been looking to get lots of money for doing nothing.
Basically I’m doing a couple of web design projects on the side and the money is great, but its not consistent enough. I need to know that at the end of each month, I have X amount coming in. I have bills to pay and I unfortunatly don’t have have the luxury of being able to take the plunge into running my own shindig just yet.
Well I’ve managed to come up with somewhat of a business plan and I took step one today.
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to my shiny new webserver
The legends at WebAfrica have been kind enough to rent me a decent size start-up webserver. On this baby I have 100mb of space, 50 emails, 10 domains and 10 MySQL DB’s. Marvellous.
So here’s the lowdown.
When you have a site designed, you’re basically paying a) for the site to be designed, b) for the domain registration and c) you pay every month to have the site hosted. Now a lot of smaller companies simply can’t afford R5k or R6k for a properly designed website. As much as they want one, they simply can’t afford it.
Enter The Yellow Llama
Here’s what I’ll do for you…
- Design a fully compliant, validated website in XHTML and CSS
- Your site will have a full content management system for you to update your site yourself
- I’ll host the site for you
- I’ll even buy the domain for you
…all this for a mere R220 per month.
Peanuts.
If you’re interested, drop me a mail and lets have a chat.
Wish me luck guys…
Yes, I think you have a great deal.
I am an aspiring web designer and currently in the process of drawing up my business plan.
The main challenge is attracting my potential customers, getting as many as I can so to ensure growth of my business, and more sites for you to host.
Do you have any examples of your work Patrick?
