My Club site is already set-up, but I've delayed its launch for 2+ months due to experiencing "angst" about it. Something just didn't seem right, and I couldn't figure it out. Until I did figure it out, no way I was going to launch it.
Well, my angst evaporated last Thursday. I had the epiphany I needed to get out of my funk.
I will focus on Joomla ecommerce as an industry; instead of focusing on my favoured Joomla ecommerce technologies.
SouthLaSalleAdvisor.com is my Club subscription site for Joomla ecommerce professionals.
A must-have resource site for consultants with Joomla ecommerce clients, my site will include:
Learn-to-Earn;
Practice Management;
Software Club.
There has been continued resistance to my dropping Virtuemart. My clients have been very vocal, so there is a very select few that are receiving continued Virtuemart love from me. My Canadian Tax add-on is still in demand, and in response to the continuing stream of emails I have re-posted my add-on (see my "Fellow Canadians" box on the right).
I've been mulling over conversations that go something like this: one cannot install that which is not yet available, so how might a Virtuemart installation today be accomplished with Tienda Enterprise in mind for tomorrow? Well, you know, that's a heckuva question!
Despite my biases, and my wish to "move on", it just does not make sense to have a site catering to Joomla ecommerce consultants that is silent about Virtuemart.
My "Advisor" site will also be the site people will visit to learn about Joomla ecommerce consultants. There will be listings, and other accroutements, for the public. My "Advisor" site will boost the perception of Joomla ecommerce in general; and, will help match clients with my Club consultant members.
My new "Media" site will also enhance Joomla ecommerce in general and my Club members in particular. My last BlogTalkRadio show will be August 12th. Then I will start podcast only shows on my new "Media" site in the fall. One of the four weekly shows I'm considering is a show featuring my Club consultants.
The portfolio of Joomla ecommerce offerings has one glaring omission: Customer Relationship Management. I'm so frustrated that I'm kick-starting this project myself. Hence, the birth of LaSalleCRM.com.
LaSalleCRM is unabashedly made for Joomla ecommerce consultants, who will use it on their client sites in order to make recurring incremental income for their clients. From a consultant's point of view, the lifecycle of a Joomla ecommerce site inhibits revenue growth. Almost all revenue potential is skewed to the front-end site initiation. LaSalleCRM fills this gaping hole for consultants, and builds revenue for site owners.
There's so much to explain! First things first, I have to rebuild my Club site. My July 22nd BTR show with Alice Grevet will be about my new sites (and Alice's new adventures in Joomla-land). There will be more to come!
I am starting three new sites:
SouthLaSalleAdvisor.com
SouthLaSalleMedia.com
LaSalleCRM.com

Yes, I've been working on my Canadian Retail Sales Tax extension for Tienda.
The exercise has raised many questions.
The single biggest question raised is: do I modify core PHP files?
