So this is my 2nd post. Something interesting I’m trying today is writing from my blackberry. This means, I’m typing with my thumbs on a little tiny keyboard. Mostly I wanted to see if it worked.
I also wanted to share with you what I”m currently working on. I’m actually working on an offline/online business which has been on my project plate for 2 years!! No kidding.
The project is local printable coupons for businesses in Canada. I first started locally with windsorcoupons.ca but then a few weeks back a similar site got some major buzz, I decided I needed to go bigger with canadacoupons.ca, the site I’m talking about is zixxo.com but frankly, my site is way better although they have some unique features like rss and tagging.
The biggest challenge will be marketing this business. I’ve never done cold calling but that seems to be the #1 way to get out there. I may suck totally but hey, this is what it takes. You may also like to know that I’m a one man gang on this project, any work I need done it outsourced at sites like rentacoder.com……
I think it will be fun to report on my projects and cold calling. I like to dream, imagine I can make 50 calls a day, as well, the site will be free for 6 months. So I’m basing a lot of time and money that any businesses I sign up will actually stay on and pay a monthly fee after 6 months.
More on this soon, my thumbs hurt…
