Online presence , yet you end up on tilers forums lol , so maybe you are at that time in your career where things are not as rosey as you think

Thanks daz. Hopeful that oportunity will knock. Alternatively a complete change might ensue. Who knows. Never been one to think too far ahead and never try to predict the future as you never know what croassroads you mit come in in life. As for the job in halstead i don't think i will get the chance to get there next week but wil welcome any feedbackAlanIt's not the most pleasing news for you Al, but I'm sure it will only present you with opportunity, no matter what corporate decisions are made.As a point of interest, I start that job in Halstead with the Gypfix next week if you want to pop along?Daz
Eh? Dave, I'm on TF, yes, special place to me, but I also have had a website from the beginning, (even as a health practitioner), as well as have a personal and professional page on facebook, , have been on LinkedIn, on FreeIndex, on BAMM, on CMA, on Hotfrog for ages, am on flickr, Twitter now and on Google+, in with the msrfr tribe (on facebook, twitter, LinkedIn and google+) and purpledognet. Oh, yes, and on some mosaic artists directory sites, glass supplier link pages, that sort of thing.
Howard's T'ai Chi students know what I do and there is a link to my mosaic website from the monthly e-newsletter Howard and I produce and send out every month, with around 800 subscribers.
This present commission, the best earner so far came from my website only, and two smaller ones are waiting to be done, from here, none of which would have happened without the internet. I also have my work in one gallery, three more have requested my work when I can do it. Also from my website I have requests all the time for lessons, as a result of which I have just been looking and found a workshop locally to teach in big enough for eight students, as well as teaching up to two people at a time in my own place.
I have been asked to run a course in Germany by a mosaic artist studio there - via facebook+website, and am the English speaking contact for Saad, which again is obvious from his personal and professional page on facebook and his still not finished website which states me as the contact person.
I think all that can be classed as online presence outside of TF? For the tilers on here, imo, an online presence outside of TF is really important, as most of their work will come from outside TF, their own website at the very least, and then being there on LinkedIn etc. I have no idea what my future will bring professionally, who does, but it's looking good at the moment. If I had to rely on local customers only, which would be the case without the internet my options would be much more limited.
'Ending up' on TF doesn't really do this place justice, I am surprised you of all people would use this term?
