I know what you’ve been thinking. You’ve been thinking, “Hm. I know that Lindsay is a terribly intelligent, charming, effective individual. And I know that she must pay rent somehow…”
Even those of you who have seen me work or heard me describe my work are probably still a bit baffled. This is completely fair, as my boss and I are still quite unsure what it is exactly that I do.
But, today! Today is one of those rare days where I have something concrete to point to, show you, beam with pride, and then ask for your help.
Today, I am announcing the pre-launch of a new site: WisePrice.com
The basic idea behind WisePrice is that there are many many places one the internets where you can learn about what you should pay for, say, a new GPS device. If you wanted to do a little research as to what you’ll be shelling out for a new car, used car, new camera, new shoes, book, video game, watch, etc, etc, etc.
BUT if you wanted to know how much it costs to have a root canal, where would you go? WisePrice is specifically for comparing prices on consumer services like plumbers, house sitters, mechanics, and others. If everyone goes and tells their stories, then WisePrice can be an incredibly useful tool for helping people learn about the cost of consumer services.
As for me, WisePrice was not my idea. I have written all the site information, like the FAQ, Mission Statement and such. Also, I have coordinated with designers and programmers to make everything look and work in a way that I think it should.
So, you should go there. Check it out. Go there and think, “Wow, how fun it must be for Lindsay to spend her days making this work.”
After you’ve done that, write something. Share your experiences so that no one has to get ripped off again!
