During my most recent “Blog Writing for Business” class, a conversation came up regarding how to select a web designer and what I suggest you have in place before you hire one to design a website for your business or brand.
The information in this post will help you prepare for your website’s creation* and ensure that all of your website tools are registered in your name (not the web designer’s name). And if you want to design your own WordPress website, this post will serve as a guide for you.
As a social media trainer and consultant, I have been so blessed to be able to guide some of the most amazing people in starting their businesses — and then marketing their businesses, and I LOVE every bit of it!
Something that I’ve seen repeatedly though, are people who keep attending my classes (some for the last almost ten years). Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate repeat attendees, but the people I am speaking of are those who come back only with a different business or business idea each time.
I do believe in multiple streams of income, but we’re talking about completely closing down a business and then starting something completely different. Keep the main business, your main business – and your “side hustles” on the side.
I don’t knock people for trying. Trust me I know what it’s like to feel stuck or have so many ideas in your head you don’t know which way to turn.
