how to build a website shop

Working on mobile marketing after listening to a webinar by Howie Swartz.  Look at the numbers -1.7 billion internet users to 5 billion cell phones.  There are about 6.8 billion people in the world.   Almost all phones can text message now.   Amazingly, the U.S. lags behind in the development of this technology but is starting to catch up.  Mobile marketing is in the infant stage.   Even the world bank now recognizes the economic benefit of this technology.

I am currently setting up my first mobile web page and working on setting up a business with a mobile marketing plan.   We are real excited about the potential results.   I am testing integration into our WordPress sites.

Mobile marketing has advantages over email.  Users are likely to give out their number with small incentive.  More than 90% read their messages.  Response rates far exceed email marketing.    Coupons are becoming the favorite incentive for mobile marketing.

If you would like more information email me.  My phone is over used at this moment and it’s hard to catch all the calls.  Thanks.

Thanks for coming back. If you have read everything, let me know how I can help you.

Anyone that has watched this site knows the theme is changing again.  I am doing this for two reasons.  One reason and my main goal is to show I can and fast which is the same we can do for you should you become bored or unhappy with the design you have.  Secondly, it is to stay current and interesting to my audience.   Things change quickly on the web and sometimes what worked yesterday just doesn’t cut it today.

I have been working on building logos and specifically a logo for this site.  This should provide visible continuity to the design.  If you have a minute make some suggestions for my design and future topics.

This site is setup to help users learn website building tips and most importantly to help you build a site quickly with limited knowledge.  I want to help you get online quick with a domain registration and  site setup.  Hence my offers.

I like to tell the story of someone coming to a small town on the weekend.   Ideally they are looking for a church to attend on Sunday.  Do they ask around? Or maybe they drive around town looking for a church?  I doubt it.  They search online!

See my main headline tag.  People search for business and even you online no matter where they are.  If you’re not seeing this you have haven’t got it.  I’m sorry to be so blunt but the statistics are overwhelming.

After over 20 years of advertising in Super Bowl commercials Pepsi decided to not do it anymore.  Why?  They wanted to switch their ad dollars to online marketing.  Branding is much more important and less expensive online.  Plus, you can reach your specific target customers.   Old school marketing blanketed everyone and hoped they hit the target.  Online marketing hits your target market with tons of information to interpret it.  How you can afford not to have a presence online?  We can get started today.

My latest work is concordiawesleyan.com  Take a look and see what you think.  Their ideas and my implementation.  Now they can be found on the weekend or if you miss the service catch the podcast.  ><>

Anyone who has researched opportunities on the internet understands that you have to find your niche. Well, I have found mine. I understand and use WordPress for almost all my installations. WP recently won best CMS of 2009 and many, many shout the benefits of the software. WP is free and easy to install. Every day you can do more with it. You don’t have to know any programming but whatever you do know does help. WP has tools (plugins, themes, widgets) that are being upgraded and added to daily that help with marketing, SEO, desgin, etc… I can now compose a site that looks like a website and not the blogger site WP was originally designed for. Others can edit WP with a minimum of coaching.
I could go on but I know everyone is busy. Do yourself a favor and learn to use WordPress for your site. It will greatly reduce your learning curve and efficiency.

So when your ready to get your site up and running, let’s get WordPress working for you.

• 52% of all web traffic is video (according to industry watchdog, eMarketer)
• More than 70% of all web visitors watch online video (according to NY Times)
• The average YouTube visitor spends 27 minutes watching video per day
• The search engines visit video sites every few minutes—so your videos appear in Google, Yahoo and MSN just MINUTES after you submit, not days or weeks
• Because video is so popular, video links and clips often show up before other content

Just a quick note to emphasis that video will help your site faster than any other tool.   Learn to shoot short 2 minute segments to inform people about what you are doing.

How to get free google updates, free listing and free insight in to people searching for your business. Up to 82% of people searching for a business use the internet. When you have your site up and running you need to do a few basics.
Watch the video to see how simple it is.

Let me help you get up and running fast with the big dogs.

My friend and I decided to form a joint venture and offer three types of websites.

We had started doing this just not formally.

Many in North Central Kansas and beyond desire to have their own website but have no idea how to set it up.

Here is the first type we decided upon to set up and serve for any in North Central Kansas or beyond. The price is incredibly low when you compare around. I will give a minimum of two hours time free to those who want to start a site. Get it here.
