Nice blog, Jarrod. Technology is not going away & doing business via the web is only going to increase. If you don't want to have your own site, you can still have a web presence by joining an online community/business directory like www.myhomebusinessnetwork.com.au
This is a very cost effective, easy & efficent way to get online with your business.

Looking forward to the next one.
