Website in a Day – Website Creation and Maintenance Training for Businesses
Event on 2013-08-16 09:00:00
Your Website is Your Company’s Homebase
Online – Without One You Are Competing With One Hand Tied Behind Your Back
Dear Business Owner,
If you don’t have a website yet or have an old and hard to maintain website then this might be the most important thing you can read right now.
Social media sites like Facebook are without doubt a great way to promote your business however the problem always comes back to that you are building your business on someone else’s platform – where someone else makes the rules and controls what you can and can’t do. (Did you know only approx 33% of your Facebook Fans even get a chance to see any individual status update you make? – you have to pay to reach all your fans!! )
If you want to control your company’s destiny online then it starts with a website. It is the place that you should be funneling all your marketing efforts to.
How much would it cost you to add a new salesperson to your payroll? Yet this is essentially what your website is doing for you. 24 hours a day, every day of the year your website is out there working for your business.
Well the good news is that technology has moved so fast that you can now build and maintain your own website very easily. If you are operating on a shoestring budget you don’t have to wait till you can afford a full website design agency costing thousands. You can start getting customers now.
If that sounds interesting then please read on…
