Got Clicks BYOL Parties are HUGE!

I spoke the other night at the SBA's Marketing seminar and 20 faces stared at me with the same look I had 5 years ago; "how am I gonna do all this??" I remember making my first website with Picture It! Publisher and my dismay at going to the Richmond Library and seeing my site ranked 1,309,098th out of 1,309,099 websites.

It's a long road to getting the right website, SEO rankings and dabbling in Google Analytics, however, the time spent on these will be well worth it. Some of my new students feel overwhelmed by the task of building their own website. Many call me on the weekend in total frustration. It's not because they can't do it, it's because if you look at the whole picture of online marketing, it can be a daunting task. It's nice to have someone who believes in your business, who says "yes, you can do this" and lastly, takes the time to show you how. I know I had mentors who convinced me that I can do it. I hope I can provide that same gentle nudge to my clients and students. Happy Clicking!
