DAY # 234

UPDATE: Tuesday, 07-Feb-2006 1:26 PM

I started my update yesterday and then 'just left it there' and forgot about it. I suppose towards the end of the day I was focused on other activities.

As I have mentioned over and over, the focus of my work has been the databases that are to capture the information for maxsimo.com and biig.com.

The time consuming aspect of the databases is the the DB itself, but the questions that are asked of the participants when they open an account.

I don't have much room to get it wrong, as it's critical to ask all the right questions at the start. It's nearly impossible to "go back" and ask a user to return to the network to complete more information.

So, just to keep my ideas 'churning' let me list the important items that I want to ask Merchants, Members at maxsimo.com and Advertisers at biig.com:

A> Who, what, where -- Who they are, what they do and where they are located. I think that is the most important part.

B> Then for the Members, it does not matter what they are, but it does matter a little bit WHO they are -- I would like to know if they have a family, pets, home-owners, etc.

C> Lastly there are the Advertisers at biig.com --The part that I have been stuck on is the biig.com KEY WORD LOCK part where the IR's would select which key word(s) they would like to manage and which key words the advertisers would like to have.

I theorized that given these advertisers the opportunity to display their logo on the top right of biig.com was fine based on their key word preference. However, I didn't want to give them further rights to implant their URLs as well. That might compromise the integrity of the listings.

So, the issues is how to setup the rights and that has kept me 'churning' my ideas as I said before.

I am sure there will be a break thru on this in the coming day or two and I'll publish the entire system just like that. I better as well, because so far I have given many reasons for people to join for FREE at Maxsimo.NET, but I have to have several reasons for people to join as Members and then upgrade.

I think this is the first of such incentives and I'll see the effect of that incentive shortly after the Members hear the announcement!

So, once again, I've got to go, but let me also mention this: I have worked on a Manual called "JUST START and..." --I'll leave that blank as I am not 100% certain on the name. I wanted to call it "Just Start & Do It" but that sounds "very dry" -- a bit like biting into a styrofoam cup --there is no taste!

I wanted to come up with something that gave an incentive to the readers to not only pick up the manual but also to print it and read it.

At this time the manual is over 50 pages. Yes, I seem to have become a writer as well, but I think the manual will be around 80 to 100 pages in about six months. I plan to keep updating and improving it every month -- a few pages at a time and I think it will be at that point very soon.

Ok, now I've got to go. Sam out. Carpe Diem.
