This adds up to approximately $1200 per year, or roughly $100 per month. We are talking about building a highly polished website, matching social media channels and matching email, automating most of it, and giving you full control to post or edit anything that you like going forward. Most companies who hire someone to build their website for them are at the mercy of their website designer for all edits, changes, updates, etc. When I see most clients bills from their current website designers/website maintainers, the monthly bill is usually between $250-$750, as you have to pay them for every single change that you need. With my Brand Building Bootcamps, you will have full control of your website and social media channels and your entire online brand. You may post, edit or change anything that you like at any time that you like, for free!
Now, when you compare this $100 per month to the amount of money that it costs to run a brick and mortar business (physical location), we are talking about pennies.The rent alone at most commercial buildings is somewhere between $1700-5000 and that is before we have any discussion of utilities, insurance, employees, etc. Your online brand is an investment in your business. You know the saying, “You have to spend money to make money.”
Not all of these services are mandatory, but they are the services that all of my clients use regularly. They are all also services that I use on all of my business websites. You may pick and choose as we go, and I will give you the pros and cons of having or not having these services. I do my level best to use the best services at the best price point. I am very careful how I spend my business dollars, so you can always trust that I will be careful with yours as well.
