FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My continuing education is reading the latest information on search engine optimization and social media optimization. These two elements can/will help a business bubble through the search engine rankings.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Small and home based businesses. And this is the area that I want to target. For too long the internet has not been affordable to this segment of the business world. The small and home based business owner is immediately at some disadvange because they don't have the advertising dollars that a larger business has - but the internet can level that playing field. A good website, with great content can propel a site to page one or two depending on the product. And it give that small or home based business owner that 24/7 business card to use as a marketing tool. Many website owners also use a website for their most commonly asked questions - those FAQs and again this helps them market their business and product in a real effective way.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure they have a track record of success with customers. Ensure that they will be responsive to your requests or changes. A portfolio is just one visual way to see their "track record," but exchange some dialogue with who you may want to hire - either on the phone or via email. Make sure there is a written agreement of work up front.
