Helping Mookie

My friend Mookie asked for some help with an
osCommerce website for his t-shirt company,
Surfer's Quest. I decided to help him out in exchange for some free shirts.
Talk about win-win. He gets a professionally design ecommerce site while get to
build out my portfolio and get some sexy shirts.
Check out my payments so far:

New focus: individual promotion sites
by Kyle, August 3, 2008

I've started using flickr and
facebook
to connect with friends near and far and promote myself in general. I'm
going to specialize in the niche of individual/self promotion for others.
See the Unvain Blog for more
details of what this is all about.

Experimenting with Craigslist

I posted an ad on Craigslist
for the Web Presence Report. I saw a fair amount
of traffic and now need to think more about improving conversion and pricing.

Learning more marketing techniques
by Kyle, July 3, 2008

I'm learning more about advertising on the web. I bought
Web Marketing for Small Businesses to help market this site and apply the principles to my customers'
sites. I just finished reading Primalbranding which was a practical
take on building a brand although not specific to the online world. Interestingly enough, the latter book
was mentioned in the former and some of the techniques explained are based on pieces of
Primalbranding.

Today I made significant progress on Erik Hunter's site. I wrote
a dynamic image resizing and caching tool that speeds up load times dramatically, even for broadband
users. It took a while because I had to work around bugs/features in Safari but the result was
worth the time. My next big task is
optimizing the site for search engines.
