Start a Small Business

Are you thinking of expanding your business into the online marketplace?

Don’t waste hours, days or even weeks looking for start-up business information on the internet.

In How to Start a Business Website and Hire a Web Designer, the Remarkablogger, Michael Martine, shares secrets that will help you determine the perfect website for your business needs, maximize your search engine potential, find a skilled and reliable web designer, and have complete control over the entire process from start to finish.

The main goal of the book is to help businesses with no internet experience by defining common website terms, and explaining the most important factors involved in:

  • Getting a Domain Name
  • Getting Web Hosting
  • Understanding What a CMS is (and Why You Want One)
  • Hiring the Right Web Designer for the Job

If you are interested in starting an online business and don’t have time for a lot of run around and hype, this book is for you. Martine provides step-by-step information from picking and registering a domain name to hiring a designer and launching your business. His conversational tone leads you seamlessly from one chapter to the next. It’s a fantastic online business starter-kit. Before reading this book, I didn’t understand the many different ways a business owner can lose money by choosing the wrong website and  designer.

If you don’t know what you are looking for or how to tell the difference between a CMS or Non-CMS site:

Clients hire and pay me to fix these kinds of mistakes. They pay for the mistake twice over: once when they make it and once more when I fix it. Now, I like money just as much as the next guy. I still have to charge for my services, but it’s just not right that these good people got screwed before they met me. So I decided to write this book as a way to arm you with the right information to get a website and hire a designer in today’s world of online business.

For only $24.97 USD, Martine explains what to look for in a website, how to find the right Web Designer, the most important web design questions, and the one must-have website feature that gives you complete control over your investment.

The processes and strategies provided throughout the book can be used to screen any online outsourcing service. Martine reminds his audience of the many traps business owners encounter when hiring services over the internet. But he doesn’t stop there, he also reminds readers that professionals who offer freelance services should be treated with the same respect that they would expect during any business transaction.

This is a valuable resource. The lay-out is clean and easy to navigate. It’s quick reference for people who are serious about getting their business online right now. Bullet-points and tables help to simplify and organize the most important information. You can see how much Martine cared about this project by the obvious amount of information that was researched and included in this book. I’ll certainly be implementing the techniques for finding out what your competition is optimizing for.

And, he doesn’t just tell you what you should look for, he gives you features and resources that you can compare and use right now!

It’s definitely worth more than the low price of $24.97 USD!

Relay for Life

Recently, I read a post about rebooting on Brett Legree’s Blog. I’ve been focused on so many non-business things lately, I just wanted to see how other people got started again after a experiencing a personal slump.

I think we all fall into the habit of watching and consuming everything we can about other people’s successes that we get disheartened, and start feeling like we’ll never get there ourselves.

Lately, I’ve read so many posts about goals, dreams, successes and failures. I’ve even written one myself.

If you feel like you’re getting off track and you can’t remember what it was you wanted to accomplish, take Brett’s advice:

The solution to change is quite simple. Write down what you want to achieve. Write down the steps necessary to achieve that. Assign timelines for achieving your goals. Create a plan for knocking off one or two of the steps each day. Stick to the plan.

I’m doing that today.

From 7:00pm until 7:00am, I will be walking the track for Relay for Life. During those hours, while I’m remembering why I’m there, I’m going to take some time and reflect on what I’ve learned over the last 6 months, and the small steps I need to take to get where I’d like to be before I take the track again next year.

If you need some more inspiration, here are some great posts by some truly fantastic people:

Bob Younce: My Blogging Journey

Crystal Clayton: The Dream Meme

Brett Legree: Field of Dreams - the dream meme
