I has a small dilemma yesterday when I was creating business cards to give out at the 30DC Coming Home conference next month. Do I create a Secret Women’s Business Network one with our logo and URL and put the title “Founder” on it? Do I plug Local Then Global my startup offline/online small business consultancy business, and put the title CEO on it? But what about my other projects, my Sphynx Cat blog and The Podlife ? And then there are the sites that are just being born that should mature a fair bit after the conference itself..how can I capture all of those in a simple business card….
So I went for a very old web idea, one that hasn’t seen the light of day since the early 90’s but I think it will work in this case. I am creating a gateway website to all of my web properties and businesses.
You should know by now I am a huge fan of transparency and the gateway neatly dovetails into that philosophy by showing off where I am and what I am doing. It gives a more rounded version of who I am and it will also show off how productive I really am.
The URL will only appear on my business cards and so initially I will be able to see how effective business cards really are when tossing them around like confetti at a conference.
