I'm a big fan of self promotion, getting your name and face out there is paramount when you are in the market, whether it be commercial arts, music, design, restaurant or personal shopper you need to be promoting. It's a dog eat dog out there and there needs to be promotion to make you stand out from all the other dogs in the pack. I'm not saying go out and streak during a baseball game with a banner of your company, I'll admit I'm a colorful person, but I would rather promote myself without the embarrassment. Use the web and all the goodies that are associated within it for promotional reasons, why else is it there, not just for the new video games being promoted.

It's not completely about how much money you can make, some websites actually failed for multiple reasons, therefore no money was brought in. It's an age of new and modern technologies, use everything that's available to you and have fun with it. Give it a little personality and use the brain that God gave you and those around helped it to congeal!! Don't worry, I'll be right there using my talents to be bigger and better and promote myself and whoever hires me to make their company bigger and better!!! :)
