WEBSITE: uneed1now.com

If you don’t have a website, you don’t exist.  FACT.

In today’s digital age, without a website, no one has any way of knowing who you are, no matter how amazing your talents.  Seriously, when’s the last time you picked up that yellow thing called a phone book?  To be in the “who’s who” of digital media, it all begins with a simple, professional website.

Your website is a first impression into who you are and what your business does.  It doesn’t need to be all flashing with so many bells and whistles.  If that’s not you, then don’t try to make it that.  Just as you are when you meet a potential new client or business partner, your website should reflect and “feature” your best attributes.

Need inspiration? Or a swift kick in the butt to get started? Start looking around you at what’s already out there.  There are tons of inspiring websites to get the creative juices flowing.  Personally, the quickest way for me to get into action is to get inspired! Start looking at your competitor’s websites and other businesses in your field and see what they are doing.  Make notes of what you like and don’t like about other sites in order to understand how you would like your site best designed with layout and content.

Get your website online! This article is in no way a tutorial on how to create a website (sorry folks), rather the realization that your website is the focal point of your business branding and marketing, as well as your new social media plan.  Your website allows your new clients to take you seriously as a professional, whether you’re a starving artist, an amateur photographer looking to break-out or a brand new business start-up.

Once your up and running, link up all your social media. The best way to expand your “web-ability” is to promote your social media pages on your website, whether through the icons that sites use such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin provide, or through text hyperlinks.  Whatever draws your viewers to the world that is you, do it!

Online image is everything.  What’s does yours’ currently say about you?
