Hello, my name is Dan Kinchen and I am a web entrepreneur living in Orlando, Florida. I am a self employed web development tech running my own company called One Step Solutions Corp. This company which I am the sole shareholder of holds and manages my online web entities, domain names, web site hosting solutions and much more.
Let me take a moment to explain the term “web development” before I move on. In the web design and programming industry this term can be defined as “a web applications programmer”. Which is a correct term for one of my skill sets as I do build web applications but that is not all that I do. I would like to use the term to describe my career as a “web developer”. I development e-business, communities and basically anything that has to do with the World Wide Web. Okay, I do not know everything, but I do know allot. Another term that would relate to this more would be “Web Producer” which I have heard the term used allot over the past few years but it has died out. To give you an explanation of the term, I did a search on my favorite search engine, Google.com and I got as my first result, the State Of Michigan job web page. They had an opening for a Web Producer and this was their job description;
Web Producer
Develops, implements, and maintains web applications for the e-Commerce site consistent with a company’s business strategy and image. Identifies short- and long-term web development needs of an organization. Manages and works with vendors during design, modification projects, upgrades, and problem resolution as well as consults with business users and content providers regarding technical issues. Interfaces with internal clients and management to provide web solutions that meet their technology, timing, and budgetary goals.
So basically, a person that can notice a need, find someone to do the work, make technical decisions on behalf of their employer/client and actually do the work. Okay there was more to it than that, but you get the point.
This is why I have my own term called “web entrepreneur” which I define as;
Web Entrepreneur
1. A squirrel just trying to get a nut
2. A person attempting the 5 year plan to financial freedom using the internet.
3. A person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture using an interconnected system of networks that connects computers around the world via the TCP/IP protocol.
I prefer definition number one myself. By the way I would like to thank Dictionary.com for helping me to come up with definition number 3. I had to splice them together. By the way if someone from Dictionary.com is reading this, the term “web entrepreneur” was not in your system, can you add it for me? I will take the credit, thanks!
Well that was a big rant on my job titles, wasn’t it? So why Smart Nerd? Well to tell you the truth some guy was selling it in a popular domain name & website for sale forum. I thought it was cool, so I bought it from him for $50.00. I thought it was a great name to Brand my new blog.
Note: This is the post that I had put up on my site a year ago; I got bored with blogging after a month. I recently decided to redesign this site and start posting again after deciding that I should attempt to start making money from blogging.
