Knowing Your Options
When it comes to Internet marketing, regardless of whether you do it yourself or have someone else do it for you, it's important to educate yourself and know your options. Many people don't take advantage of a particularly powerful technique because they don't know the option exists.
If you decide to hire someone to do it for you, understand that the difference between web design and effective web development is significant. Anyone with a basic understanding of graphic design and the right software can build web sites and call themselves a web designer or webmaster. Unfortunately for unsavy business owners, many do.

Successful web site development entails everything it takes to not only conceive, plan, build and host the site properly, but also includes all the elements and steps necessary to make the site PRODUCTIVE. The old adage of "build it and they will come" does NOT apply to the Internet. You have to give them a reason to come and an even bigger reason to stay, buy or return. SEO is not always the critical element for success. It depends on your particular situation, market, budget and objectives. For instance, I've done next to NOTHING to promote this particular web site, and in fact, over the years I've actually taken steps to keep it out of the engines. Why? Because I prefer word of mouth, referral clients for web development and find the quality of clientele that results from referrals provided by my happy customers to be vastly superior to the types of prospects I get from the Internet. Besides, I already turn down more work than I accept. My word of mouth clients keep me very busy.
It doesn't matter how pretty your site is, if it isn't a valuable asset to your business, it's a waste of money!
Successful web sites evolve over time, based on many factors. The methods your site will benefit most from will depend on your location, product or service, objective and budget. Each site requires a well thought out development strategy. It's also important to know all the Internet Marketing options available to you because there are many. I can't tell you how many customers I've inherited who weren't getting results online because they didn't know their options. The reason they didn't know their options was because the person who was in charge of their web development wasn't qualified.
The #1 Fatal Online Business Mistake many small business owners make is to hire a web developer based on their relationship or price and not their qualifications and track record!
If you decide you want to do it yourself. Great! Web development is an exciting world and if you get good at it there is good money to be made helping others. However, just because you can build a site, don't think you are qualified to make a living online. Educate yourself! It's an ongoing process. There are things you can do to streamline the learning process in order to reduce expenses, time and frustration. You will find help on this site. If I can help you avoid the school of hard knocks, excessive expense and hasten your online success, I will consider myself and my site a success as well.
Many Methods - One Objective
The objective is to constantly increase your targeted visitor traffic, visitor retention rate, return traffic and sales. There are many ways to accomplish this. Ideally you don't want anyone to leave your site without doing SOMETHING to improve your relationship with them. Even if that just means getting them to subscribe to your newsletter. My Internet Business Success Newsletter covers the how to this and much more in great detail.
Business sites in particular require additional content and techniques to make them more interesting and appealing to the Internet community at large. It's not enough to simply put your product or service online and hope someone will buy it. You have to give the public something of value. For instance, here is a Lake Havasu RV Park web site I built. However, notice it provides much more content and value than just a "come rent from us" message. You will find Lake Havasu events, weather, news and a web cam among other things. All designed to provide interesting content of value to their site visitors.
There are many Internet Marketing methods, techniques and features that can be integrated into your web site to improve your online credibility and reputation, increase your visibility, brand name awareness and most importantly help you attract and serve more QUALIFIED VISITORS.
To remain competitive online you also need to "stand out" from the crowd as something special and worthwhile, not just "fit in". Your site content must establish a reputation for being a trustworthy and worthwhile source of information. The purpose of this site and my Internet Success Newsletter is to provide you with valid knowledge, tools and resources to accomplish this task more effectively.
