It happens all too often. A potential client wants us to create a new website, but no one at the company is sure where their current website is hosted. They think it’s hosted by the same person who created their website, but he can’t be found and they don’t know where their login information was filed. Or, the company website is hosted on the personal account of a tech savvy person who used to work there, but he quit a few months ago and doesn’t feel obligated to return their phone calls or emails. And then there’s the even bigger issue of the domain name (the URL or address of your website, such as www.mediavinemarketing.com ). One new client’s domain was registered by the technical whiz kid of the business owner’s best friend. When the bill for the domain came due, the whiz kid was backpacking in Europe and no one knew that the domain’s registration was going to expire. Lost domain, lost website. The time to make sure that you are in con...

Social Media writer, Mary Green wrote an excellent post on Social Media Today about why finding work and clients through social media can be difficult. The fact of the matter is, there really is a lot of clutter and irrelevant stuff being spewed out through every network most of the time. There is a lot of social media noise ! When that happens, it just frustrates people instead of attracting them. This is why it is extremely crucial to develop relationships online, send out relevant,captivating, engaging and inspiring content, and becoming influential online. Never be the promoting type! That again is a huge turn-off. Remember, it is not an overnight process. Building influence and credibility online takes time, and just remember how Rome was not built in a day. However, that is how you will attract clients. Because once you are known to be credible and influential in your field, anything that comes from you via your social networks will stand out in the middle of that noise. Higher...
