Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your business this year and I wish you a happy holiday season!
Here are some brief news items about my services that may help your business next year:
eBook Publishing
This year I started cranking out eBooks for Yellow Cat Books in Moab, Utah! Authors Chinle Miller and Rusty Wilson decided to get into the electronic reader market for Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble's Nook. Visit them at YellowCatBooks.com!
Now more than ever before it is easy to become a published author - and without the hassle and expense of using a print shop.
Photos
I have been a regular photo contributor to the Galveston's Coast magazine this year. Laura Elder, the editor, reminds everyone that in addition to the online issue, there are also two print versions: an Island issue and a smaller Mainland version. This is an awesome and FREE monthly magazine with a loyal readership and a variety interesting local topics - so you might want to check it out also for advertising your own business.
If you need some new photos for your website, just let me know!
Video For The Web Made Here!
The hot new media right now and the foreseeable future is video. I attended a video workshop sponsored by Adobe in Los Angeles this past October and got my jump start into learning how to master this exciting media.
If done correctly, video greatly enhances your website because it helps people know you better and to more clearly see the quality of your services and products. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million pictures!
Recently my video services were requested by John Gay who is running for Congress to take Ron Paul's position in our local Texas District 14 in 2012. I have posted a couple of these videos on his website at JohnGay.org and will be adding more next year as the campaign rolls along. His latest video speech can be viewed here.
Contact me if you are interested in getting some video made for your business.
New Admin Application Coming!
In the 1st Quarter of 2012 I will be releasing an online application that I have been coding throughout the year. This application can be accessed from your phone, tablet, or computer that will enable you to more efficiently coordinate your business or personal life.
It's like hiring your own personal Office Administrator that works for you 24 hours a day and goes with you everywhere! Stay tuned for more details!
Pssst....If interested, ask me for an early bird preview demo!
Technology Trends
This year I attended the Adobe MAX convention in Los Angeles and the hottest technology trends are Tablet and Phone applications. So, I have begun learning jQuery Mobile, HTML 5 and CSS 3 to be able to developing on mobile devices for your needs.
I also attended a full day Mobile Phone application development workshop in Lafayette, Louisiana and met other developers to find out what's cooking - and whether it's Cajun cooking or Mobile Phone device applications, it's all good!
Summary
The internet is a fantastic medium offering unlimited ways to use to increase your business!
I am doing my best to surf these great new waves of video media and mobile technology to help you balance the benefit and enjoy the ride!
My clients are what make me, and I would like to thank all of you! Remember to take a break and have a Merry Christmas!
