Can I build a website for free? Well, yes and no. First, you will need to purchase a domain name that’s your very own. This usually costs $14 depending on who you use. Second, if you use the DIY website build options (SquareSpace, Wix, Weebly, Wordpress.com) you can get a hosted account for very little, as this is where your website will be built and housed. Third, if you build it yourself you can save the majority of the cost it takes to build a website. So, if you have the ...tenacity, time, and ability to build your website, go for it. But just because you build it doesn’t mean it’s a great website and gets the traction you need. However, if you are willing to scour the internet, YouTube, or get a Lynda.com subscription it can take hours of your time to learn it, build it, and make it work. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible, just count on hours and hours of your time. However, if you simply want to have someone to do it for you at a reasonable cost, give us a call www.KGWebsiteDesigns.com #WebDesign #WebsiteBuilds #WebsiteMaintenance #MembershipSites #KatrinaRGarcia #KGWebsiteDesigns See more

Does it matter what your email address says about your business? Absolutely! Think about it, if you get a business card or see someone send you an email and it comes from a Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Outlook, Mail.com they may not take you or your business as a serious contender. Why? Because many times these are considered personal email accounts, not a business. You should have an email address with your business domain noted. For Example [email protected]. Your email address says a lot about your business and whether you are a serious entrepreneur. Do yourself a favor and get an email address you can proudly standby.

I have to say it astounds me on how many people are stalling and simply getting a ton of quotes to ~ Get their website built or revised. ~ Create and schedule out their social media. ~ Get new head-shots done. ~ Publish their book. All of these are things that every business owner should be investing in, especially now. While most businesses are cutting back on marketing, networking, and getting their back-end set up others have been working hard behind the scenes getting ready for the upcoming year. Remember 2008? Don’t let fear stop you from putting the work in now. Be the business that will be ready when 2021 hits.

Have you ever wondered why your logo comes out so blurry when you try to enlarge it? Here’s the deal when it comes to logos. When you have someone create your logo you want to ensure it’s in a larger format. It’s much easier to downsize a logo then blow it up. Not sure what is the best size? It depends on what you plan to use your logo for. For the best results, the standard is roughly 800 x 800px especially when working to either make it smaller or larger for your social media, website and printing needs. However, we always recommend that when you have your logo made you ask for one that can be used for future printing projects to ensure you get the right size upfront.

How do you utilize your downtime? Do you work on your business or work on you? As entrepreneurs, we wear many hats, but the one that seems to be the hardest to wear is self-care. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. I realized after many years of neglecting me I began to burn out. Each day seemed to melt into the next making it that much harder to work on what I needed for me. That’s when I set up hours that work for me. I found after I stopped working on the weekends and l...ate into the night, I started getting more sleep, was more creative, and found that I was working smarter instead of harder. So, when do you plan to work on your self-care? You are the business so invest in yourself.

Are to-do lists helpful or do they simply cause you to do less and add more to the list? Unless you plan your days well, it can seem like you are running in circles. One step in the right direction is getting a handle on your calendar. Try setting up a calendar platform, such as Acuity Scheduling, Time Trader, or Calendly. This allows your clients to set up an appointment on their own without having to waste precious time doing the email tag. Also, be sure to block off days to work on your business and don’t overwrite this time. By setting time aside to work on your business you move forward instead of working in circles. Manage your time well and you get more done. This timely tip brought to you by www.KGWebsiteDesigns.com #WebDesign #WebsiteBuilds #WebsiteMaintenance #MembershipSites #KatrinaRGarcia #KGWebsiteDesigns
