What would you do with a website?
I got word today that one of the online businesses I've greatly admired is offering a summer sale on their flagship product. I've long been intrigued by this product. From what contact I've had with it, it seems to pull together A LOT of web marketing tools all in one interface.
Over the years, I've picked up a lot of specialized tools to create, evaluate, and market websites and auctions. And I've always wished it was possible to have all those tools communicate with each other. It's such a drag creating interfaces that allow me to combine information I need to pull together from multiple tools. A little programming skills would serve me well there, but, alas, programming is neither my forte nor my interest.
So a web building tool that has all these tools, or some semblance thereof, built in... VERY intriguing to me—if nothing more than to see how effectively each module stacks up against the standalone tool it emulates and how well everything meshes together.
So news of the sale (buy one website and get a second at a fraction of the price) has me salivating. Not that I don't have enough to do. Far from it! Especially with a trip all next week to help my wife Joanne's parents break up their housekeeping of 60 years as they enter a nursing home.
But the thought is intriguing—what would I do with two additional sites if I went ahead with this? Build more of a feeder site to bring traffic into One Stop Web Support? Expand my eBay store into a broader gift and decor site outside of eBay? Go for more of a niche market on something like food, that Joanne could feel more a part of than the foreign language of computers and web marketing that I speak in when she asks how work is going? Set my son Joel up with a soccer website that he can use to pay for his college education?
With one day before we leave for Jo's parents' house and plenty to do in that day, I doubt that I'll make any move before we leave, but it sure will be on my mind—and in Joanne's and my conversations throughout the week.
This is one opportunity that may be too intriguing to pass up.
Incidentally, if you're looking for a good way to build a website or two of your own, you may want to check this offer out while it's available. Just click on the "Summer Sandals" banner a little way down the page.
