FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
ALWAYS! I get over 100 emails every day about the latest online marketing this and that. I look at all of them, pick the best, and send along to my clients. I sit in on 4-5 webinars every month. I get updates from key industry thought leaders. I'm very tied in to people and information websites to help stay current on everything online marketing related!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Kicking and screaming! Ha. No actually the problem that I have been trying to solve for years, is how to bridge the gap between the low-end, cheap looking websites that just dont work, and the expense of the high-end custom design shops that do great work, but charge for every little add-on. How could I bring high quality, high value websites to the new or small business that is very budget conscious, or just cash strapped from the recent economic downturn? I started websitebymidnight.com in the Fall of 2010, to bring great website builder technology, valuable services and guides to get started, and personal assistance to develop and market your new site; to the masses, that are affordable, and quick to implement. I firmly believe the opportunities are endless for small businesses to take advantage of the internet as their PRIMARY vehicle for marketing their products and services, get new customers, and grow client relationships. And it all starts with a great website!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask your web advisor if they have the experience to get you RESULTS from your online marketing spend. I've learned that consumers don't really "want a website." They want and need leads, new business, and sales! Does the person you're talking too have a plan to accomplish the bigger picture, and not just take your money for a quick website?
