Hi Alan and welcome!

I agree completely and that’s why this is worth a shot. You’ve got some great ideas of the potential, and I hope I can make that much of a difference.

Thanks lots for your comment.

Given that many small businesses fail for the very same reason this type of consulting hopefully help reduce this number. The information given could prove valuable for these small companies. Getting a consultant is probably out of the price range of many small firms however this may make it more affordable.

@Anthony—Hi there! It’s great to hear that the Short Answers, Small Fee concept works I thought it would be fun to try (which it is), but it’s very nice to hear that it may have a long future.

I’m not getting too many high-level concepts, though? More searches for resources than anything else.

@Shawn—Howdy! That’s my hope, that it will help folks get jumpstarted on a project or direction, or get them unstuck. Just a li’l love, you know?

And I will definitely check out that book. It’s on my list, but I’ve gotta get through my current stack first

@Wendi—Welcome back! (Can you tell I missed seeing you around here?) There haven’t been a flood of requests, but I’m very happy with what’s come my way. The questions are tough, but I’m uncovering all kinds of neat stuff…an unexpected indirect benefit.

Physician?! NO! I don’t want to go in for 12 minute surgery. For some things, there is no short form. A physician/surgeon can take alllll the time they need

Hi Crystal,

How is the micro-business coming along so far? It sounds like a really great idea.

I am hoping my physician doesn’t hear about it! LOL!

This kind of reminds me of ‘Made to Stick’ – the book about making ideas ’sticky’ The core of it is really making the communication simple and to the point, sort of like a proverb.

Just the fact that you’ll provide such short answers will actually help people in realizing their goals that much faster.

Cool beans.

I’ve been doing something similar for years (though not with Twitter). I have a base of $10 but sometimes it’s more – though when it is more, the buyer always has the option to pay less or even nothing if they disagree with my charges.

Twitter wouldn’t work for me, though – I’m doing techy stuff, not high level concepts.
