Many of my clients come to me for help because they lack either the technical skills or the time required to create or maintain a website or a blog. Whether you handle these tasks yourself, or you choose to outsource them, there are a few basic terms and facts you should be familiar with.
As I’ve mentioned previously, there are many benefits to having multiple sources of income. Creating information products and joining one or more affiliate programs are two ways that many successful organizers supplement what they earn in their billable hours. But have you considered tapping into your knowledge from outside the realm of organizing? Stacey and Jane have!
Although I tend to focus a lot on the benefits of WordPress, a traditional HTML website can promote your organizing business equally well, if it is professionally designed, properly optimized for the search engines, and represents your business effectively. Otherwise, you may be wondering why your website is not generating the results you are looking for.
One of my followers on Twitter recently asked me: If I have a blog, do I still need a website? That’s a really good question, especially if you’ve ever heard me singing the praises of blogging as a powerful way to build your brand and promote your organizing business.
Internet Marketing is one of the most important tools in your business arsenal. Not only does it cost less than advertising in print and broadcast media, its interactive nature allows you to build relationships with clients and prospects without the need for time-consuming telephone or face-to-face meetings. Internet marketing is much more than just putting up a website! Your Internet marketing plan may include search engine optimization, email marketing, blogging, social networking, and other strategies.

There are many strategies for enhancing your search engine positioning, some involving factors within your website, and others outside it. Today I’m going to share a tip that will, in many cases, put your site at the top of the first page of Google, and it won’t cost you a dime.
