Small Business Help
In Supporting Role

My Web site is my "small business help" to you. I offer you everything I learned about planning a small web business. The level of success you obtain as a web entrepreneur will be directly proportional to the level and quality of help you, in turn, offer on your web site.

MY chosen level and type of help

The information I choose to publish on this web site is designed to be the small business help you need to start off on the right foot. In essence, it is a collection of topics for which I receive the most requests. I attempt to clarify as many of the most critical issues as possible.

Starting a small web business represents enough work that I feel I should help you think and plan first … rather than let you spend a lot of your precious energy on damage control later!

Generous people helped me get to where I am today. Some still do, in fact. For that reason, I feel it is fair that I should give as much back as possible.

I have chosen to use a web site to be your small business consultant, constantly available with relevant small business help information, 24 hours a day. I can thus bypass obstacles such as time zones and our mutual availability.

In practice, this web site becomes a dynamically updated how-to book on how to plan a web business, and why.

In a way, my web site could also be considered a show case illustrating what a web site designed to help could look like. Yours will be quite different, of course, because it will be on an entirely different topic, aimed at an entirely different target group.

YOUR chosen level and type of help

Your primary purpose should be to use your own web site to help people in ways you choose to, and on a topic of your choice.

My best advice before starting a small business is the following:

  • Identify your target clientele.
  • Think how you could genuinely be of help to your target clientele.
  • Identify what you know - and/or what you know how to do - that can be useful to someone.

The more useful your information is to people, the more trustworthy you become. People buy from people they trust. That's the bottom line.

You can be of help

Take careful stock of all that you have done and learned in life. Some of it is bound to be useful to someone. Trust me. It's there. You just have to acknowledge the fact some things have become second nature to you. But, to other people whose interests were elsewhere, you have become an expert.

All you have to do now is assert yourself. Be the expert you are. Use a web site to reach as many people as you possibly can. It is the step I assume you want to take by visiting my web site.

You do not need formal training or formal education on the subject of your passion either. You only need to have:

  • acquired a lot of knowledge on a given topic
  • acquired a lot of knowledge about a product or service?
    Here’s your chance. Become an affiliate !
  • acquired a lot of undeniable know-how (people you know readily consider you an expert in this field)
  • your passion for it that is still burning strong

Your web business idea should derive from, and be driven by, your passion. You will then be naturally inclined to share that passion with your visitors.

You can't avoid being helpful this way! And that is exactly what people were looking for when they landed on your site: your help!

I will have reached my purpose if my small business help contributes to your success as a web entrepreneur.

STAY TUNED!

Do come back often. I will be adding to this site regularly.
