another big week needed

Last week, i worked my socks off… undoubtedly the most productive week yet as an internet entrepreneur.

This week will have to be similar if i’m to deliver BeerChief version 2 on time. We’ve really put the skates on and hope to launch a new, improved BeerChief within a few weeks. As i’ve said before, this is the big one - this version will be make or break for BeerChief as it’ll be the version that eventually goes public.

We’re extremely confident in this version and it’s definitely going to turn heads. Our current site could well take off on it’s own with some minor changes. It may not storm to overnight success, but i believe the name, idea, design, functionality etc… is all of a decent quality - it’s not rubbish.

Having said that, we both agree (myself and Adam), as webmasters and heavy internet & social networking users, it doesn’t grab you by the throat and pull you in. There’s a real lack of something about it and i don’t know what it is - it could be a combination of 100 things.

But with this new version, our first impressions were ‘wow’. It’s rare i’ll come across a site and say that. So the thinking is, that if WE’RE both impressed with this new version - it should mean it will go down well with the masses.

The only problem we face then is getting members and traffic. It may not be a problem of course - we won’t know until we take the site out of private testing.

So far we’ve faced many hurdles and jumped them all -

• coming up with the cash
• choosing designs
• choosing a company to outsource development to
• choosing a host / server

All of those problems have been handled well… the icing on the cake will be version 2 and the majority of version 2 will be complete this week, i’ll see to it

We’re on a roll now… we launched, had good reaction, got *some sort* of a community going and from day 1 we’d already begun work on a newer version. That work must continue this week and it will mean more 13/14 hour shifts at my PC, but i can assure you it will be well worth it.

At the end of it all i can FINALLY call BeerChief a ‘world class’ social networking site and throughout BeerChief’s life - that’s what i’ve vowed to do
