G'day André,
Phew! I reckon you explained everything very clearly thank you very much.
The fires didn't come near our town of Tumbarumba, just the smoke, (about 6 miles away) but I was the one who reported the main Snowy Mountains fires about 63 lightning strikes, along with two other tower operators, before we were all stood down for good. The lightning wasn't normal more like tracer bullets from a Fighter Jet, lighting up 10-mile lengths of bush in one hit. I work for the National Parks over the summer in Mt Youngal Fire Tower, hence a computer business and two web sites. All the wildlife I photograph use to be in the valleys below. The kangaroos will come back though...but the bush will take a good 100 years to recover. I am putting together a picture show/screen saver of the bush fires for a free download.
Back to business and I only have one line of questions and I think it is for Michael this time, about only having one product per site.
My original intention was to have only one ebook for my second site (Windows and Internet Set-up). But the ebook was just too big and my critics said they were getting lost with everything that had to be done. Most of them didn’t need to do everything, anyway. So I broke up the ebooks into smaller “standalone” sections. One I have just finished is titled “Antivirus Set-up” which includes how to set-up Outlook email, Firewalls and stop any form of a scripting virus getting into Windows Registry etc.
Now my critics are happy and have set their own PCs up using this Antivirus Set-up prologue ebook. Another ebook will be about drive imaging and stopping illegal operation for good, and another about data and archiving back up etc. (I have a Winter business where I set-up PCs for businesses and home users over the last 7 years and it has been very successful) I am now putting that offline business online.
Michael, in lieu of the type of ebooks I am making do you still recommend one site per ebook or giving customers the choice of purchasing one or all of the related ebooks as backend products from one site?
What would be wrong with the Home Page set-up in a similar manner to your “HowToCorp” page but instead of directing visitors to individual web sites just redirected to a separate web page on that specific subject?
Confused yet?
