Beta Release

Spoke with friend Kathy Spiess today. She provided me with a tremendously useful itinerary for creating a digital presence on behalf of my business. The list is as follows:

• Publish your website! Your logo can be developed later.
• Will take approx. 3 months for Google Search to find website.
• Write a mission statement! It will serve as a useful tool for directing your efforts.
• Print 1000 business cards, distribute them often. Finding new customers is a game of numbers.
• Webdesign resources: wix.com otherpeoplespixels.com
• Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO) resources: http://www.google.com/sktool/# http://www.google.com/insights/search/#
• Consider secondary terms as well as locally and regionally relevant terms.
• (Acronym) elm.com is not an important consideration at this time.

To do list:

• Chose name for business; buy appropriate URL
• Write mission statement
• Write business description using SEO
• Find or create 3 good images for website

Thanks, Kathy!
