Ideas for Business

When I started this site I made a semi-conscious decision not to be overtly commercial. Sure I have a link on each page to my sales ‘pitch’ page, but generally most of my work comes through word of mouth.

There is one thing on my sales page however that maybe flies a little too low on the radar. It has been there on that page since it was first published, and it is this:

If you are a registered charity and would like some advice or assistance I am very happy to donate a few hours when available in return for a simple thank you :).

There are so many things I need or would like to change on my site. Making that offer far more prominent is on that list.

To date only two charities have approached me. Today good ole’ Grandad tagged me for the charity link meme which arrived on Irish shores via Gavin’s blog.

The Charity Links

These are the links I’m adding

• Oxfam Ireland - Oxfam Ireland Shop - buy gifts, help charity
