1st Wednesday Club

[hewlett]

7 confirmed and Snoggledog where are you??

[hewlett]

I had a banging headache last night so may have come across as even dopier than normal! You were missed Ross but now have even more time to expand your client base before the next meeting

To spice things up a bit I'm going to suggest something I may regret, having a guest celebrity speaker at the next meeting. Someone who's had entrepreneurial success and can give us a 30 minutes or so talk, field some questions..watch this space, now, I wonder if Sir Dick is in the phonebook...

[hewlett]

Go Ross! Btw if you link to your website from your profile you get a nice Pagerank 7 link which is a most excellent SEO start..

[hewlett]

Sure, Search Engine Optimisation i.e. getting yer website found on Google. I spend a year learning the ropes as it were. PH is very well ranked so any links from PH to your website have some value.

[hewlett]

Cheers Ted, www.tedvertiser.com seems to develop at an amazing speed relative to anything I've done, look forward to seeing the next stage.

Btw, I have had plenty of genuinely bad ideas in the past so if anyone is stuck for one just PM me

[hewlett]

For those at the last meeting, this is the project I was talking about: www.spiggler.com

Discussed one week, seemingly up and running and looking slick the next - well done, must get my s**t together to have something to show for the next meeting

[hewlett]

I've looked around here and apart from it working well, it seems to be all young women tweeting - Ted, is this your default filter that's just been mistakenly left on

[hewlett]

Just a quick update:

Project 1.

Meeting the venture capitalist on Friday. Only 2 years from first contact to meeting the VC!! Looking forward to it, just an informal chat but it will be great to guage interest and potentially at least get some capital behind it...off to print some presentations today.

Project 2.

A very nice PHr friend is developing the website on the basis of deferred payment. I am super grateful for this approach and PHr you know who you are..THANKS!

Hopefully see y'all in July

[hewlett]

It's tomorrow!

[hewlett]

See you in August then, we still haven't found somewhere to live so that's one less thing to move for now.

I'll believe theboyfold is in the country when I see it, didn't I see something about that volcano kicking off again!

[hewlett]

Wow what a jet set life

We are here and talking business err and looking at that Aston thread, wow, some crash!

[hewlett]

Just a reminder that it's tomorrow. I guarantee some pre-Epic hoon chat for anyone who's doing that too!

[hewlett]

If no one is coming through I can shoot down the A30 and collect you

[hewlett]

Unless anyone's passing I can meet Sir Kinskster at 7.45pm

[hewlett]

It's no probs, I can have one pint then I have some tinnies at home

It's only fair as originally we were going to rotate the venues so I've had the luxury of getting jolly on my doorstep for far too long!

[hewlett]

7.45pm it is, I always get a beating from the OH for coming home drunk after my 'business meeting' (she says with heavy irony).

[hewlett]

Thanks for everyone who came along last night. In response to what I promised at the first meeting we had and a prompt last night, here's the website:

http://1stwednesdayclub.webs.com/

I'll password protect it so only members can have access it and then we can log our:

What we'll do
What we need help on
Successes last month

I think it'll be useful, please email/text me if you want a page/forum header (not sure which yet) for you. We can put it in your PH name or any other name btw.

Sorry I couldn't make it last night, life (and sleep) got in the way, I've signed up for the website with the hope that at some point in the next year I might actually have something to add.

at least if you're signed up you're 'on the path' to independant riches..and you'll soon see that we're all so willing to help that you'll be guaranteed to get something off the ground if you really want an 'escape route'.

Btw, as you all may have discovered you can sign up actually on the website, makes more sense than emailing me!
