Yes, on the same day that I find I shall be starting a new job next week, thanks to some cash for website support, I have completed the Crashed Lotus campaign….
Just in time really with the party this Sat to thank all the people who have employed me in my alter ego as Micro-job man!
Time for one more web video….. 
Some late night micro-jobbing to fix a broken Reiki healing website, so only £895.93 to go!!!
.. and the delightful rustle of tickly, lung-butter cannot detract from the crashed lotus mission as I inch closer to that magic £0 debt!
By creating a website for RPL Roofing, the remaining total is only £1058, almost on the magic £1k mark.
As the 1 year anniversary of the start of the Crashed Lotus blog has just passed, it’s a fine time to reflect on the £2,458.5 earned and the £1,058 still to go. The only question remains….
Can I clear it all before 1st October 2010??
(the deadline for 10% of people on the Debt Poll)

Hot of the heals of my Titchmarsh copy-catting was finishing off http://www.langfurniturerestoration.co.uk/, a website to promote the fine restoration skills of Andrew Lang. Given my usual tendencies, I’m thinking meeting him was a useful blessing for the future:
“Hello, do you do french polishing….???”
So the grand total of Lotus-based debt to go is……[drum roll]…………[more drum roll]…………….[phone a friend?]……..£1218.81!
Surely, the finishing straight!? Or at least, one before the final corner!
Following the Yin/Yang Micro-job, Miriam was let loose into the world to stick pins in people. Very quickly with a bit of MJ tinkering, the site (http://www.yinyangacupuncture.co.uk/) was #3 in Google for “acupuncture portsmouth” and I was delighted to receive this email this morning:

Hi Jasper,
Hows it going?
Just a quick email to say thanks for designing my website for me, a huge
proportion of my patients have contacted me because of the website and
google. And I’ve been given really good feedback about the professional
look of it. So thank you very much!
You coming to the ex-members trip next week? Maybe see you then,

Helping a friend start a party-planning business? Hardly monkey business for Micro-job Man!!
£1578.81 to go!!
Miriam, a friend of mine from climbing circles needed a logo + website to setup an Acupuncture practice in Portsmouth. Obviously a fine challenge for Micro-job man, so http://www.yinyangacupuncture.co.uk/ was born:
Already #1 in Google for “acupuncture portsmouth”, this leaves £1613.81 or 47 Micro-jobs to go!!
I can barely contain my excitement as this morning, I looked on Google to find after my post yesterday and some other SEO-tinkering that…
YES – #1 for “Crashed Lotus”, back on top of the World…
So the lesson is clear: crash a Lotus Elise and you have the perfect platform for an SEO battle with a photo gallery of crashed sportscars..
Reasons on a postcard please…
Hot on the hills of Dakar-themed Micro-job #9, another off-road task beckoned: kicking some life into the new website for Adventure Spec, supplier of the finest clothing and products for adventure motorcycling.
Based on the fine WordPress content management system, the pic of the customised theme below is in fact a world exclusive as the website is still in the final tinkering stages:
Obviously, as per IT projects the world over, it wasn’t straightforward and there was a certain amount of tinkering required to get it into the final fettle. However, with the finishing straight beckoning - as I’m sure you’ll agree - the website’s starting to look as sexy as an cute lady with a filthy twinkle in her eyes and a bottle of baby oil…
