Manic Melon

One of my goals for 2007 is to divert some energy towards my own projects and ventures. Manic Melon, the personal blog of Net Profit Services CEO Kevin Barber, is the first of these endeavors. This journal of ideas, tips, solutions, and assorted information also serves as an example of Net Profit Services’ capabilities for offering unique, effective, and efficient web solutions.

The Name

I named my blog Manic Melon after my own brain, which is a frenzied mess of ideas, concerns, timelines, goals, and thoughts. I have a manic melon, and I’ve seen this condition with lots of my clients as well as other business owners and marketers.

Budget

The entire process from concept to content took our team less than fifty (50) hours. We could have gone a bit faster, but we made some revisions to make it ‘just right’.
