During my most recent “Blog Writing for Business” class, the conversation came up regarding how to select a web designer and what I suggest you have in place before you hire one.
The information in this post will help you to prepare for the creation of your website* and help you to ensure that all of your website tools are registered in your name (not the web designer’s name).
Be sure to read to the end, I have a special offer like none I have ever done before …
Thanks to all of you who signed up for the brainstorming sessions that I offered last week. I had a blast helping you all come up with new ideas and strategies for your businesses — and I’m happy to see that most of you have put those strategies to work right away.
One brainstorming session I did, was with a woman who had to close her store last week. She did not choose to close her shop, but her store and all of the stores around her were told they had to close due to COVID-19.
As a small business owner, you should be paying attention to how people are finding your business online — and how they are responding to your website and content.
Are people finding you through organic search, through a direct search, or through referral traffic?
Which of your pages and posts are most popular? How many views did those posts and pages receive? What did people search for to find those pages and posts?
This is a true story that will hopefully put a fire under you if you know you should be blogging, but don’t know what to write about or understand how blogging will help you market your products or services.

Constant Contact announced their Eventbrite integration over a year ago, but I couldn’t figure out why Constant Contact added them as an integration partner or even why I would want to use Eventbrite as I’ve never really been a fan.
I mean, after all, Constant Contact has its own built-in event marketing and registration tools that I have been using for about seven years, and I love them!
One of the most overlooked features of the Facebook Business Page is the ability to schedule posts.
Facebook’s scheduling feature will save you time, by allowing you to create back-to-back posts and schedule them to go out on specific dates and times in the future.
You can only schedule posts on Facebook to the Facebook Business Pages. Facebook Personal Profiles do not have the ability to schedule posts.
