On normal Sundays, when I am not traveling the countryside, I reiterate my favorite quotes from the past week. Most of the time, they are ones that I read somewhere and wrote down.
This, however, was a comment made to me from a group of board members I presented to. “A website is not a business.”
I’m sorry, but I could not disagree more. If that were the case, Google and Amazon would be considered toys or projects of the thousands of people that show up to ‘work’ everyday. They wouldn’t be considered pioneers in their respective industries, they would be just another place to go on the internet.
If a website were not a business, why am I going to have to pay taxes on the revenue from JDsBlog? (And I am more than appreciative of that, don’t get me wrong. Just proving a point.)
I got a bit upset at the above comment because it showed me the true lack of insight that a lot of people have. I am interested. How many of you think of your website or blog as a business? Or for you freelancers, how many of you acquire a fair amount of leads through your site?
