Along Came
U-Turn Internet...
The best way I could help others
in business from what I learned was to first help them have an
online presence. I realised that efficient site
design and web hosting were the
first steps that allowed that everyday business person to grow and become a
world-wide success.
Not all web hosts are created
equal - I realised that there are a lot of 'dodgy' ones out there,
offering far too much space and overloading their servers. I
didn't want that to be a problem for my clients...
I searched the world for the best
- I found a server leasing space in the world's best datacentre with
reliability, a quality support staff, and speeds unparalleled
in New Zealand. Of course, this server space cost me a lot more
than most companies would be willing to pay, but I realised that my
clients would expect the best money could buy, and I didn't feel
that server quality was an area I should 'cut costs' in.
After I bought up fast and
reliable server space in bulk and started selling it to 'friends of friends
of friends' at very affordable prices, 'word-of-mouth' did its thing,
and then I set up this website in order to offer the same deals to
the public as I did to my 'friends of friends'. Things
just grew from there, and that's why you're reading this today.
Getting the
Most from Your Web Site...
I felt that the best way to help
people with my skills was not to 'keep it all to myself' and
contract out my services to only those who could afford to
pay...
I decided to write step-by-step
guides and give them away for free. By allowing people to
empower themselves, I could make a much bigger splash. I
recently wrote the very popular Step-by-step
How-To Make your Site Sell Guide, available to all, free of
charge. I knew that if people benefited from the resources
I gave them, they were much more likely to think 'uturn.net.nz' when
they think 'web hosting'.
A Little
About Me...
I guess you could say, I'm a
very hardworking, 'goal-orientated' kinda guy. I'm committed to
continual improvement and I have aspirations of 'making it to the top'
by helping others get closer to their dreams through sharing what I
know.
I have a passion for people and a passion
for 'making things work'. When I'm not working I love
socialising, a quiet night relaxing, or a good game of tennis. I
currently reside in North Shore City, New Zealand, with no immediate plans
to move away from this small spot o' paradise.
I never let technology get in
the way of the human side of things... I feel that my clients would
rather have a pragmatic business person with lots of online
experience as their online business partner, rather than an
'internet tech head' with technical skills, but no idea how business,
or business owners, operate.
If you, feel comfortable
with someone like me helping your business 'behind the scenes',
don't hesitate to transfer your site over
to U-Turn Internet, or take advantage of the services
we offer.
Kind regards,
John McLean
