Ok. You are not entirely convinced that the Internet is worth your time and money right now. I understand. Or maybe you are just not yet ready to set up your own domain name.

My good friend, Scott Pregent, thought so too -  until recently that is. Scott's wife owns a small jewelry business.  For over a year I kept telling him that she ought to have her own website in conjunction with McHenry Online.com. Finally, when I told Scott that I would put up a single web page for his wife for only $29.95 he relented and said, "Go ahead!"

I set up Fox Lake Direct in April, 2002 and put up a few simple text ads on the main site for her. Within a month she had two orders for jewelry. In June and July she had an additional seven orders. She's not exactly doing Bill Gates' type of sales, but she is surprised and happy. Scott is relieved too. (his wife is a happy camper) He has since added a few pages to the site.

So, I make you the same offer. For a one-time fee of $29.95 I will put your business on the Internet on your very own one page website. I think this is a nice way to learn about what the Internet can do for you.

Here's what you will receive for your $29.95:

1.  A small text ad on our business directory page;

2.  An enhanced ad on your listing page of the business directory;

3.  Your web page linked from the members section;

4.  Your logo on the page;

5.  Up to five (5) paragraphs of text to tell people about your business.

What will be the address of your site?

Your URL will be
www.mchenryonline.com/<your business name>

Remember, you can always jump into your own domain name and full fledged website at a future time when you are ready. At this time I have available a host that will host your site for free (without ads) if you sign up for your domain name. The cost is incredibly low at $25 PER YEAR!

Side benefit: when people ask you about your website, you won't have to say, "uh, well, I was getting to that!"  ;-)
