From Joan Sotkin

People who want to find the best source for a product or service do their research online...

...At the same time, after you give someone a business card, if they have the slightest interest in what you do, they will check out your site.

If you don't have an effective web presence, you are losing business! That's the bottom line.

The fact is that you need a website that will effectively represent you and your work to potential clients and customers. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it does have to look professional and present your product or services in a compelling way so the viewer is motivated to contact you or make a purchase.

And here's the good news: Advances in technology make it possible to have an effective website without spending a fortune. You will probably be surprised at how small an investment can bring you big returns.

I had a Web development company from 1996 to 2002 and built dozens of sites for small business owners, many of whom grew their businesses exponentially because of their sites. For personal reasons, I took a hiatus for a number of years, paying attention to my personal site, ProsperityPlace.com, where I learned all of the latest internet marketing techniques, including podcasts, blogs and social networking.

Now so many people have been asking me to help them build an effective online presence, that I decided the time is right - and I'm building sites again. It's something I really enjoy.

Here's what I'd like to ask you. . .

• Have you been avoiding building a site or upgrading the one you have because you think it's a complicated, expensive process?
• Do you have the feeling that a new or better Website could help you develop profitable streams of income?
• Would you like to have someone to talk to in order to bounce off your ideas and make sure you are making the right online decisions?
• Could you use some help planning the business model you will use online?
• Are you confused about Facebook, Twitter, podcasts, and blogging and wonder how you can integrate them into your online marketing plans?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then let's talk. It won't cost you a cent to talk to me. If you have a site, I'll do a free basic site evaluation. If you've got an idea for a site, I'll do a free 20-minute consultation with you.

All I ask is that you fill out this form. Then we can set up an appointment.

When we talk, I'll present you with options for either building a new site or upgrading the one you have.

If you're starting from scratch

The idea of building a site can be overwhelming if you have no experience in this arena.

I can help you:

• Determine the most affordable, effective solution for your business or practice that you can handle given your current level of knowledge and experience
• Decide how many pages and what kind of content you need on your site
• Plan the site navigation so every visitor has a satisfying experience
• Determine what kind of applications you need in order to communicate with potential and active clients and customers. This could include autoresponders, a shopping cart, payment systems, and more.
• Understand what kind of online marketing you will need to do in order to bring people to your site
• Build a site that meets your specifications.

I work with the team that includes designers and programmers who provide excellent quality and service for my clients. Using the most up-to-date website building platforms, such as WordPress and other content management systems, you can have a site that works for you within your budget. And you'll be able to add or change copy yourself.

Because my team works virtually, you aren't paying for the upkeep of an office, so you will find our rates remarkably reasonable.

Before you commit to building a site, we can work on an hourly consulting basis. Once you decide you would like to consider a site, I'll give you a clear and concise quote for the work to be done.

Let's talk about your idea for a site. Fill out this form so we can set up an appointment for a free consultation.

If you already have a site

Most people build a site with little copywriting experience or knowledge of how to make an online presence effective. Also, they often know that something has to be done regarding search engine optimization, but they don't know where to start.

The goal of a business site is to sell products or services. If your site is not accomplishing that for you in the way you would like, then let me do a free 15-minute evaluation of your site with recommendations as to what needs to be done to boost your response rate.

If you'd like me to do a more in-depth evaluation, I'll can do that for you for only $299. You'll receive a full written report with practical suggestions for increasing the response rate from your site.

After this evaluation, you can work with your own webmaster or with my team to upgrade your site.

You can also work with me on an hourly basis getting advice for things like

Setting up a blog Developing and distributing a podcast How to build relationships with social networking       and more!

Just fill out this form so we can set up an appointment for your free site evaluation.

I work with people either in person, in Santa Fe New Mexico, or by phone or Skype and guarantee your satisfaction.
