Market Like You Mean It

Here’s a little shameless self promotion. I just released my new CMS tool “Starpointe CMS“.

It’s an easy-to-use content management system that anyone can use (but it’s specifically helpful for managing small business websites). You don’t have to switch hosting companies or anything… just tell me you’re interested and I’ll get it installed on your website so you can begin managing it yourself.

If you’re interested in trying it out, leave a comment below and I’ll waive your setup fee.

I’ve been in the process of redesigning my business site for a little while now. It’s not quite ready yet but it’s almost there. (For those of you who don’t know, I do marketing and design for small business on the side.)

As part of that redesign…I’ll be attempting to start doing any business related blogging over there at the Starpointe Marketing Blog. That should free up this blog to be more of my fun/random blog.

I hope you like the changes.

First I should say that I’m very biased. As an employee of Mozy, I’m already not a big fan of Carbonite. Apparently they just redesigned their website and for some reason decided it would be a good idea to put a headless man on the home page. (Okay, I know what the picture is really trying to depict but c’mon. The guy looks headless.)

Now that’s brilliant marketing. “Hey let’s show a picture of a guy who is teed off and tired of trying to get his computer to work on our new home page. Bonus points if the guy kind of looks like he has no head.”

If you want an online backup product that works, use Mozy Online Backup. It has better encryption, lets you choose exactly what files you want backed up, lets you set a backup schedule, and gives you control over how much bandwidth or memory it can use. Plus it’s backed by EMC, so you know it’ll be around for quite a long time.
