Putting My $$ Where My Mouth Is
Well, I did it! My static website has now been incorporated into my WordPress site. It took a little doing to make sure all my links stayed intact but I’m here.
As a Social Media Specialist VA, I coach my clients to use their blog site as their hub so it was time to put my money where my mouth is. It’s so much easier for me now to maintain everything pertaining to my business here on my WordPress site than on my blog and my static website. More importantly, it’s easy to communicate with my prospects and client base right here with the comment section so I am looking forward to lots of interaction! It is already reinforcing the discipline to be in the moment – present and authentic. A blog site is an ideal place for you to build intimacy, trust and loyalty with your followers.
You’ll notice that a ‘Services’ page has been added here along with a ‘Need Help?’ page so everything you need to know about me and my services is easily accessible. I have all my links to my Social Media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter so you can communicate with me where-ever you are most comfortable hanging out online.
I still use my LinkedIn profile as my “About Me” page because I keep it up to date with all the current information and that is where my testimonials are housed. To me, showcasing testimonials on LinkedIn rather than a traditional website is more ‘authentic’ because they are generated by the recommender themselves.
It can be a bit of a challenge keeping up to date with this rapidly changing Social Media environment, but I am confident that with this transition, I will be able to keep my readers abreast of what’s happening with my business and be able to share fresh, relevant information all in one place.
I am keen to get some feedback! How many of you have made this transition?
For all you bloggers out there, you’ll love commentluv here on my blog. Leave a comment and you can leave a link back to your own blog. But you don’t have to be a blogger to leave me your comments! I want to hear from all of you!
While physically located in Newmarket Ontario where I live with my family, as a VA, I’m virtually yours anywhere….
