Website Design, Business Cards, SEO and stupidity
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007Why Business Consultants think, that most important issue starting a business is to have a website designed by graphic artist and business cards for your business? How can website or business cards make you money? I haven’t yet figured it out. Maybe they can explain? So, they will give you a business start-up grant, but you don’t see the money. They just commission their selected web designer and graphic designer to design your business logo, website and business cards. What about corporate blog or more needed mobile merchant WAP pages? Why they are not commisioning those?
So, you have a well designed website and thousands of business cards in your pocket. According to market studies, you should be rich internet entrepreneur by now!!! So, those business consultants tell you, that you haven’t yet paid for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) specialist. So, you want the best and recently had got an e-mail, who will guarantee your number one position in the Google. So you will contact to find out, that your website is not built search engine friendly and asking more money to rebuild your website. So, now you have offered to be number one on Google, if somebody uses keywords like: “high quality”, “best product”, “lowest price”, “best service”, etc. So, now you have new website where those keywords are repeated in your page header and written somewhere hidden, that this specialist explained to be METATAGS. But you are not near to promised number one position in Google!!! Now new people are telling you, that you need to be listed in Internet Business Directories. So you start to spend again paying £20-£60 each time somebody will list your website in their useless directory. After few months of spending, you still do not have visitors!!! You will give up your business and go back to work without any understanding, what went wrong. You did exactly as told and as everyone promised to you to be Internet millionaire. You believed them, as they showed you, how much money they are making from Internet. Did you figure out, that it’s yours and millions of similar people’s money, they are robbing?
Maybe you should have partner with Internet professional to develop your online business?
