I have to admit it, my website is not very appealing.
I was talking to a prospective client yesterday and she took a look at my website and my blog while she was talking to me.
I admitted that I hadn’t taken the time lately to post anything to my blog. I felt that I was just too busy. Well, that’s not exactly true. I just haven’t taken the time to do it.
My mentor, The Publicity Hound, constantly expounds on the importance of blogging. I mean, every week in her newsletter she at least mentions that. I not only read the newsletter, but I proof it and archive it to her blog. I read it at least 3 times a week. You would think that it would have sunk it by now.
The reason she thinks that this is so important is that it will drive traffic back to her website. I agree. So far, it is working fabulously for her.
I also mention this to clients and prospective clients as well.
One of the reasons that I don’t do much blogging is that I don’t like my website and so I guess I just ignore it. I keep saying to myself that I am going to get to it one of these days.
That day came yesterday when the prospective client said that one look at my website would turn clients away. Deep down inside I knew that, I just didn’t want to face it.
Aletta de Wal advised me to hire someone that could help me with it because as we all know, time is money.
So today I have a consultation with a graphic designer and a web guru and I am hoping to turn it around.
Stay tuned.
