Purposeful Web Site Planning - Dont Get Started Without Goals
It seems like everyone has a web site these days. And those who don't have one are probably thinking about one. If you're in the thinking stage, congratulations! Having a web site is a fantastic way to grow your business by making you more visible to the world. But before you jump on the web site bandwagon, ask yourself this question: "WHY do I want a web site?" The answer is NOT, "Because everyone else has one." When I first developed my web site four years ago, I just knew I wanted a web
presence. But I didn't put much thought into why I wanted one. So I created some
web pages that seemed to make sense, sat back, and enjoyed my (smallish) hit
counts. But after a couple of years, I knew something was missing... my web site
wasn't meeting my needs, because it wasn't created with intention! So I went back to
the drawing board and starting writing down goals. Now that my business is three-
fold (organizing, coaching, and selling products), my goals had to reflect those new
revenue streams. So my primary web site goals became: ? To generate organizing client leads ? To sell my products on-line ? To get people to sign up for my e-zines My secondary goals were: ? To establish credibility as a top/veteran professional organizer and
marketing specialist ? To provide helpful information and resources Goals in hand, I roughed out my new site. With the help of my web designer, we
created a home page that led to easy navigation within the site, which guides
visitors to the different sections depending upon their needs. So far, judging by hit
counts, sales, inquiries, and sign-ups, my goals are being met quite well! As you plan for a web site (or think about a redesign of your current site), make
sure you take plenty of time to map out what you want the site to do for you. Some
ideas are listed below. ? To provide information about your company and its philosophies ? To highlight your company's "in the news" status ? To enhance the credibility of your business by having an online presence ? To highlight your products and/or sell products on-line ? To provide detailed information about your services ? To attract new clients and customers ? To keep existing clients informed ? To build an e-mail list ? To educate visitors ? To answer questions ? To jump ahead of the competition ? To provide links to other organizations ? To show your expertise through testimonials, photos, etc. Do any of those goals sound like yours? Can you think of a few others that will make
your site both fun and functional? Take the first step to a well-planned web site by
taking pen to paper as your very first step to a new -- or improved -- web site. © 2005 Time to Organize Sara Pedersen, author of the FREE e-zine "The Marketing Fairy's Guide to Simple Self

Opt-In MLM Leads Are Good Prospects To Grow Your Business
Opt-in MLM leads are one of the best ways to attract new customers or sign up new members in your multi-level marketing plan. What are opt-in leads, you ask? That is a lead that had to fill out a questionnaire over the Internet and respond to an e-mail so that the lead generating company could email them for confirmation. Double opt-in mlm leads are the best since they have expressed interest in your type of company twice before you ever contact them. It's like having a fish with its mouth wide-open, waiting for the hook.
