Updates and the Future!
Hello all. I am proud to announce several updates to site. However, I can’t do it all without your help. Remember my goal for this site was to capture all the service and product providers in one central location and to rate them for their price and quality. In other words, this community will tell you about the body shop on 5th Street that is great for a reasonable price…or the company that restores your classic clock for your dash. Our goal should be to get that project in the backyard completed and on the road!
With that, here are two updates. First, I now have to approve every listing that is posted to the site. We are getting big enough that some hooligans are posting unrelated items to the site. So, going forward all listings will need to be approved. Second, the service section is completed. I have created 4 packages, the 12-Cylinder Package, 8-Cylinder Package, 6-Cylinder Package and the 4-Cylinder Package. Once you become a part of the community, you can add your service through the “My Services” link in the top action box, select a package, confirm payment and then wait for my approval. Depending on the package you select, you can advertise your company on the site within minutes!
Now for 2009! I have several new ideas for promoting your cars and parts to get them sold. First, I will be adding a more robust listing option. What this means is you will have the option to add more pictures to your listing, dynamic emailing to all the car clubs and a possible new way to harness Google and their advertising expertise. More to come with that. Second, more videos and a more extensive Photo Journal page. I just heard my IT guys split out their water. I would like to see the Photo Journal become more of a Project Tracker. Although it works great now, I want more. I want you to be able to easily add pics, current costs you incurred and videos to complement the whole package. Third is the Q&A section. This part of site is working great. Right now when you ask a question it is emailed to those members that select your make of car as their expertise (if you haven’t added your expertise, please log and do so). The only addition I want here is to add a blog area. In other words, if that member is online, you can discuss tech tips over the internet…live!
Finally there are many other ideas I have to enhance your website pleasure, including more books, more news, larger Encyclopedia, and more contests!
Keep your eyes open!
You should start seeing commercials on SPEED, SPIKE and the TLC channels! I had a commercial made to drive more enthusiasts to the site (pun intended). So, if you are watching SPEED this week during the Barrett-Jackson auction, you should see my TV ad. It’s a very simple commercial that didn’t cost too much, but it gets the point across. I would like to hear from you if you see it, so shoot me an email, joseph@classiccarcommunity.com. Again, I want your cars and parts to be sold and services found easily.
Thanks for a great 2008 and a lot more to come for 2009!
Joke
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they go to sleep for the night, Holmes said: "Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?"
Watson: "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"
Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Meteorogically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes: "Somebody stole our tent."
