Cheap Websites Make Perfect Online Business C.V.s

Yes it’s true, cheap websites make perfect on-line business C.V.s.

This is great news for small business thinking of finally catching up with the rest of the planet and getting themselves a website.

But wait! No doubt you have questions about Prices and Packages and FREE stuff, who doesn’t. Here’s what to do. Watch the video below (that’s me by the way, Peter – should have shaved!), then read the rest of this post.

Off with you now, go on…

Cheap Websites Can Cut The Mustard

Okay, so you have a MySpace, or a Facebook account but when it comes to business that just will not cut the mustard.

Imagine exchanging business details with a potential customer or partner at a networking lunch. The guy/gal takes a look at your business card and where it should read www.mybusinesswebsite.com it reads, www.myspace.com/mikedooley125. That will be the last time you hear from that potential customer.

There are a couple of barriers to people getting a starter website for their business. Getting prices can be harder than finding gold on a sandy beach, and when you do you wonder which kidney you’ll have to sell to pay for it.

There is a solution, drum roll please: www.StarterWebsites.net.

Website Prices and Free Stuff

Lets start with the good stuff, PRICES! Prices start from €195 (check with a currency convert for the equivalent in your currency)

How about Free Stuff?
Free .com, .net, .biz, .org and Free hosting for 1 year.

How about Free Search Engine Optimization of your content as standard? How about a turnaround of 5 to 10 working days after you supply content?

Seth Godin having a busy/bad day?

Who cares!

The point is that even on a busy/bad day Seth gets his posts out. He’s reduced his text to a title and and a few words in a post as follows:

“The more people you reach the more likely it is that you’re reaching the wrong people

Who vs. how many.”

Thanks for that Seth.

Now we can all sit around and speculate about Seth being a pure genius or just plain lazy. What’s important to pick up from his short post is the power of mailing lists. Yes, I probably would not have clicked the title of Seth’s post were it just another piece of noise floating around the internet. But because I subscribed to his blog I tend to give him a minute of my time (his blog is well worth signing up for!).

So the lesson for me is that mailing lists work and can work really well. Even when the list holder is being lazy, having a busy/bad day (and just trying to get his posts out) or a genius, which Seth may or may not be.

Another interesting lesson from Seth’s post is still to reveal itself to me. That is, will I pick up traffic from this trackback? To be honest I couldn’t give a hoot as my blog is all but fully neglected right now, but as an experiment it will be interesting to see the results.

Who know, if it does pick up some traffic I may even post about it tomorrow, should I live that long.

Just keep blogging! :)
