Hi There,

I'm wondering if anybody has any plans to do something different with their
business next year, and if so, what?

Personally, I've been consulting for quite some time. I am going to try to
do a little blogging on my website and maybe try to do a little PR, such as
publishing a case study or some such thing with a couple of online rags.
I've also created an rss feed for the project/case study area of my website
and plan to work harder at keeping that area of my site up-to-date.

And... I want to be more consistent in my advertising. I've been living off
word of mouth and repeat business for quite some time and the prospect of
fresh blood is kind of exciting.

Also, I'm trying to work up a "system" that people can follow for
accomplishing some specific goals with their company and I hope to sell it
as an online program of some sort. (Not a computer program, but a program
people follow like, "this is step one, this is step two," etc.) If I can
find ten or twenty people who are trying to accomplish the same thing with
their company, like sales automation or whatever, maybe I can form a small
community of members with private forums and whatnot, and work with a group
of companies rather than one at a time. The problem is I'm not coming up
with anything specific that I think will work, but... its an interesting
concept and I'll continue to give it some more thought.

Just a few thoughts, I always try to come up with new ideas at the end of
each year.

Mike, one thing we have already done for this year and next is develop
a mobile version of our web site. The mobile world is a world with much
simpler designs and less functionality (kind of like turning back the clock
to the mid 90's version of the web). However, mobile web access is probably
the next big wave of electronic marketing. For now you may want to at least
register your existing domain name with a .mobi extension.

Our mobile web site is located at: http://www.bpi-consortium.mobi/
