After eight years of blogging, I have started a new business site for sole traders (sole proprietorship) with a publishing platform called Squarespace. I have used Blogger, Tumblr, Posterous and Wordpress during the years. You are welcome to follow my web journey as I am developing my new site.

Martin, still can't get it to load. Maybe it's my server?

Martin,

Great to see that you have a new site! I'm very interested in the blogcast, but for some reason I can't get it to load? Will try again later.

Looks interesting. Tell us more about how it will work. What services will you will providing ad what's your business model. I haven't used Squarespace yet. What are your initial thoughts and why did you select it?

Shawn,

I will tell you more as time goes by. The site is "under construction" and the header is like a rough banner as described in my first post. You could find out a bit more about my services if you click the WorkLife tab. I will add more tabs with more information in the near future. I want to give moral and practical support to sole traders (sole proprietorship), solo entrepreneurs and business-minded individuals.

The site will be my virtual and interactive business card as a "referral engine" (book title by John Jantsch) for new business opportunities. I will seek out partnerships with services that could fit my business, e.g., "social media with a purpose" (phrase by Joseph Jaffe, author of the book Flip the Funnel) tools like business intelligence software and social & business networks with an exchange of ideas and know-how.

I will list my speaking engagements, workshops, courses and social media activities on the site.

I heard an ad for Squarespace on net@night with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur. I tested it for free for a couple of days and saw how simple it was to use. You start out with a collection of different templates and you could then modify the site according to your liking. It is very simple to change stuff. I feel secure when it comes to the platform and the host. Click the "host" link on the site and read about the infrastructure of the platform.
