I've
usually got half a dozen ideas bubbling away, but then I do
seem to be better at coming up with the ideas than coming up
with the required investment or the marketing oomph. Hence my
poverty.
Still,
here's a current selection with relevant links – comments,
offers of partnership, funding always welcome.

WebClub |
| ...
franchisable after-school internet club with a ten-session
syllabus introducing kids to searching, safe surfing and
website design. Initially aimed at KS2 kids (year 5-7, say)
but with loads of potential. Preliminary work done, and
I've tested it on a couple of trial groups; but it's missing
a window of opportunity, and it needs an investor and/or
partner urgently! Contact me here
for more information. |

...
I can do short courses (half a day min, two days max)
on a number of subjects broadly implied by the skills
and interests on view in this website. Contact
me for specific information, but these topics have
proved successful:
- Customer
care: what does 'customer service' mean for the
organisation, why it matters, why and what you can do
about it
- Office
extras: going beyond the basics — a collection
of tips 'n' tricks for Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint,
Internet Explorer and the Windows desktop, all designed
to make Office and Windows work harder for you and fit
the way you want to work
- Marketing
matters: for the smaller business, a movable feast
covering the basics of marketing (what, how, why —
lots of emphasis on branding, positioning, customer
relationships) followed by as much depth as you need
on advertising, direct mail, email and the web, any
other specifics you want ...
- The
Internet for beginners: a crash course on when and
where the web and email might be relevant for the small
business, with no punches pulled about the proper value
of a website and the correct level of expectation
