Would like to talk to other webmasters

if WW forum rules allow

[dickbaker]

For the better part of this year, I've been working on a site that I believe (and hope) can become a full-time job.

However, there are issues with number of visitors, repeat visitors, page views, etc, that were not as much a concern of mine when it was somebody else's site I was working on.

I've been self-employed for 17 years, and always had someone in my business area to get feedback from.

Now that I'm doing this site, I find myself with nobody to talk to who understands commercial websites. I know self-employed people in advertising, engineering, graphic design, auto body repair---you name the business, I know someone in it. But I don't know a single soul who runs a site for a living. Thus, I'm just getting blank stares when I try to get feedback.

If it's not a violation of WW rules, I'd really like to "speak" to other webmasters via stickies or by phone, just to try to evaluate where I'm going.

Thanks much for any replies.

I find it's better to post specific questions to the germane forum. Then you get specific feedback. I've gotten good results here on WW. It can be like a conversation.

About speaking in person, I find WW to be wary of certain types of disclosure, and those who stick around seem to like it that way. Good luck!

Welcome to the Club.

Yours is the shared experience that bring this whole community together. It is the .dll of wbw

I'm afraid that until you are able to attend a PubCon, you will have to learn to talk through you fingers. I mean, typing. Yes, typing. You can sort / search through responses/questions, perhaps someone is in your area and you can sticky mail them for interest in meeting face to face.

But overall, I would have to say fuggedaboutid! Your fingers are your friends!
