A little bored

I am sat in my office a little bored, so decided to kill a few minutes to write a little update here before going and making myself a coffee.

Business
Got some new accountants that have helped me sort out structure and set up for my company going forward. Which has made things a lot simpler for me. I really struggled for a long time to find accountants who understood online business, international trading and advice me properly.

Revenue wise things are good, pretty certain that it’ll be another record month, again!
Marketing is gaining some traction, numbers picking up and CPA’s dropping. Just need to do some monitoring to make sure the traffic we are buying is converting in to the right number of sales.

Development continues to go well. Doing a lot of tweaking to www.besinful.com. This involves some changes to commission structure for affiliates and models, some design changes, additional features, improvements to the existing ones and full integration of our mailing system in to it. The mailing is going to be the most exciting part driving most of the conversions on it, with highly targeted and automated alerts and notifications.

Have just taken on a further 2 developers and will be adding a designer to the team to steam roll forward with this and begin some new projects. These will involve taking the existing platform which has been designed to be adaptable, and developing new sites and applications for it. We also have a Video Chat API module planned which will need integrating in to our sites, and might explore providing this as a solution for websites to plug in.

I’ll soon start looking for a business development/brand manager. Ideally a young, ambitious and very adaptable individual who can take over and assist me with much of the day-to-day planning and running of the company. Particularly on the marketing and affiliate management side. As this is a very unique business and position I doubt there is anyone who ticks all the boxes, it will simply have to be someone with the potential to grow in to the role and make it theirs. Oh, clearly they will have to be very open minded too!

Personal stuff
About to start on a serious hunt for my car. Have a good idea of what it will be though as there is not many of the exact model I want about I might end up making an impulse buy!

Hoping to do a bit of landscaping in the garden, putting in a summerhouse at the bottom. This will become my new home office. Though with a pool table, dart board and beer fridge in there it might not become the most productive of work places!

I am also bored of this site – will probably get someone to update it, to make it, and me, look sexier. Quite a task I know.
