Solar Dragons LLC

The last few days have been pretty busy. I met with Randy and let him know the domain name was being transfered. We discussed what he wanted to do after the redesign of his site was done. I hope I can convince him to get a link champaign going. He has good page rank but all his competitors have more backlinks and still a higher page rank.

I also met with a new client, Eric. He wants a site for seniors. I’ve started setting that up. I got the domain name, set up the hosting and his email. Over the next week or so, I’ll show him some designs and get things set up.

I found out later that just the domain name was transfering. When that happens, his site at Doppler will stay with them and it will switch over to my hosting, which is empty. I have roughly 60 hrs to get something up there. I think I know what I’m going to do. I hope it works…

I’m going to call the local papers to start advertising in the classified section. I also am planning a redesign and then I will do a link champaign for myself.

So it begins…

Well the new year is in and things seem to be on the up and up. I got a call from a guy that wants two sites. I set an appointment for Monday at 9am. I’m also working for Randy, Vince’s broker. He was hosting with Doppler but had conflicts with them, like everyone else does. Some time last week, his site wasn’t up anymore. So I let him and Vince know what to do so I could take the site from Doppler and work for Randy. So far, so good. I started the transfer yesterday, so we’ll see how it goes.

Vince and I were talking about having a giveaway on our sites. I think that can really drive traffic to the sites. I personally am shooting for a May/June redesign. I want to focus on educational prizes and really capitalize on the ‘Back to School’ craze that’ll be going on. I also plan on having some package deals that will make things easier for clients to pick what they want/need. If there can be a continuous incoming of people for business, I don’t think I’ll get overwhelmed. I’m sure now that the holidays are over, things will settle down and it will be back to business as usual.

I’m still waiting for Robert Morris to contact me. I think they will have some decent business roll in. To be honest, I think the High Roller are in Chicago. However, now that I’m in NWI (Northwest Indiana), I want to take advantage of the fact that the businesses out here don’t have good online representation. I hope I can get more NWI business before Robert Morris throws Chicago business my way. NWI really needs an online presence but doesn’t want to pay Chicago prices.

I hope I can create a happy medium.
