PoaLaoF™ is coming!
A year ago today, I flew from Kingston to London after spending six months in Jamaica.
Whilst in Negril I established The Hut Gallery, which for six weeks, was probably the smallest black & white photographic gallery in Jamaica.
Since returning to London I have witnessed the rise of social media in which peoples expectations have increased dramatically.
Most expect someone to respond to their needs and respond quickly.
They also expect to interface and inter-relate with ‘real’ people, not those hiding behind an email address, Twitter accounts or fake Facebook pages.
The same will apply to investors who will invest in the book Portrait of a Legend and other Folks.
There is one vital secret I have learnt and have fully overstood in this environment where accessibility is easy since being online.
Transparency is the key, but I had to learn the hard way.
In this age of social media, I will now have many valuable opportunities to engage with visiors and investors all over the Internet and therefore in June we will see the launch poalaof.com.
For many people one of the most common reasons for hanging around on the Internet every day is the abundance of information it is loaded with.
The data which will be contained in poalaof.com will be about the book, Portrait of a Legend and other Folks, and will be well organized and made accessible to a world-wide online public.
Visitors to poalaof.com will have access to every facet pertaining to the book, those involved in the publication and also about myself.
With the dynamic assistance and creative concept of Mr Jamie J Melo, a young web-designer with remarkable talent in creation technology, poalaof.com will contain all the basic elements which will make the site easily recognizable by users and investors alike in terms of functionality, navigation and usability.
poalaf.com will be coming soon.
