Blog » People Might Find You

#23 in our ongoing series, "Reasons You Don't Want a Website"

If you have a website, people might find you.  You may innocently put up some sort of "Contact us!" page on your site, and think nothing of it.  But you know what happens?  Google happens.  Then some potential customer can just type your name willy nilly into practically any search engine, and BAM! Information on how to find your business is delivered right to them.

Obviously, this is nothing less than disastrous.   They might call you.  They might email you.  They might even wonder if there is a way for them to exchange some form of money for your goods or services.  And then what?  Who is going to respond to those emails?  Who is going to fulfill all those orders?  What in the world are you going to do with all those customers?

The path is clear:  you'll have to hire an underling.  You'll have to teach that person how to work in your business, how to make your clients happy, how to jam all that cash into the overflowing till.  You'll have to figure out how to break the news to your CPA that you've just jumped a tax bracket, then you'll have to give your underling some vacation, during which time he or she will undoubtedly be eaten by a shark, and you'll be back at square one.  

All because of that stupid website.  It's definitely not worth the hassle.
