What I've been up to lately: Designing websites for 1000 businesses!
Introduction
If you have ever looked at my bio info, you probably noticed that I design websites for businesses using Wordpress. That's one of the things I do in addition to blogging, crypto, digital marketing, drop-shipping and part-time teaching.
You will also notice if you follow my blog, that I have not written for two days now. That's bad for someone that writes four articles each day. Well I decided to update you on what took 3 days away from my time. I run a small firm (RyteCliq Technologies) which is the vehicle for my IT business. So I decided to design a brand new website for it. I started work 3 days ago and its done - almost done, remaining proofreading and setting up the buttons on my pricing page. You can take a look: http://rytecliqtech.co
I want to officially launch a campaign starting August 2019 to put 1000 businesses online before year end by making a website for them. 1000? that's insane! You're probably right. But for a person like me, I don't believe that nothing is impossible. And when I set high goals, it pushes me to work harder and come out of my comfort zone. But why launch this campaign? For at least two reasons:

1. Many businesses in my area are still offline: Yes, right across my office and beyond, I can count a number of businesses that could benefit from an online presence. Many of them are startups that are working on tight budgets. Others have not come to terms with how a website could boost their business. So I with my team, try to make them understand how a website can even help them get more customers and sell more too.
2. Web designing companies still charge high fees: Yes, this is a big reason for many small businesses working on tight budgets. They could not afford the high cost of designing a website. Am not talking about resource intensive websites like portals, or blockchain websites. I am talking about a simple information website for a business. Some companies charge from as high as $200. That's big money for someone setting up a small business with a small capital. So thanks to cloud hosting, I decided to lower the entry requirements. Any small businesses could have a website starting from $29. This covers domain registration and web hosting for 1 year. Other features are available for each plan. You can take a look at my economy pricing: http://rytecliqtech.co/index.php/pricing/
The above two reasons propeled me to launch this project. Officially, the project starts August 1, 2019. But I have already spoken to some of my friends and they agreed to put their business online - Yes I have done 2 sites out of the 1000. That's progress, isn't it?

You can be part of this project.
Yes, you can participate by having your business or any project put on a website. You could refer someone that needs a website. And if you need to learn how to design modern, responsive websites using Wordpress, get in touch. Web designing could still be another stream of income for you no matter where you live.
Keep up with my blog. I will be posting updates on the status of this project.

Sure you can get hosting + domain for 29$. It is cheap as hell. But where I am from a developer is minimum 90$ per hour. So a price of 200$ for a website is impossible.
I don't have a business, would have participated, but I think you are doing good work and helping SMEs
Excellent brother ... You are right there is nothing impossible for you, so success on your great website
Wow what an awesome project helping people to get online and help there business well done!
