My new web development business

Undertoad · 01-11-2011, 04:43 PM

Token Internet Marketing launched today. I haven't even perfected the website to the point where I can show it... but after a few weeks of startup work, we launched.

The concept is cheap websites for neighborhood businesses, because the time is now for them to do this, for various reasons.

My biz partner was able to do 1.5 hours of sales work today and the first report is that it will be very successful. The next month will tell us just how successful.

Cellar.org is on the portfolio so I thank you for that.

No, I think you'll find it is we that thank you for that!
And the Best of British luck to youse, by the way!

Now I'm thinking about pizza.

I guess it works.

When the website is ready, make a note in this thread, because I find it highly irritating when local businesses don't have a web presence, and I'd like to encourage them your way if I can.

Hell yeah, me too

Good Luck with this UT !!!

Undertoad · 01-12-2011, 10:28 AM

Thanks. I figured it should have its own thread, and I figured this (Cellar meta) was as good a place as any for it... ah, maybe a little inappropriate... ah but the Cellar server shares physical and network space with the server for this venture, so there ya have it.

It is SO encouraging to see the first round of sales turn up so well. My biz partner is doing all the sales, and we are wagering whether he can sell more sites than I can produce, with both of us going full-time. If yesterday's result turns up work at the same rate per hour, he wins -- and the business probably succeeds, we then just work on ironing out little glitches in the model.

Just like that beer commercial! (Or maybe it was for a credit card)

Congrats and good luck on this new adventure.

I think it was a commercial for a credit card about brothers starting a beer company, right?

I think it is wonderful news, UT. I would be happy to pass your website around to those who need sites.

Pico and ME · 01-12-2011, 06:24 PM

Eh, I typed adventure when I meant venture, but who knows maybe this will lead to one.

Where's that blog about crazy web designer clients?

Good luck!

After 2.5 days of sales, Token Internet Marketing has 1 completed sale and 20 very qualified leads requesting return visits, out of which half will be sold websites by the end of next week.

"Candy from a baby," said my biz partner.

"Coffee is for closers only," said I.

Sweet! Go Tony and Ken!

Great news UT. I hope you make a killing on it. You deserve it.
