When you market your business online, it can be a noisy and overwhelming world!
You need a place to invite potential clients and customers to have coffee with you online where they won’t be distracted from all the shiny objects.
- Have you jumped into the busy world of social media but haven’t found all the hours you have put in to be worth the profit that you’ve made so far? Like zilch?
- Is your current website sitting in cyber space like a lonely frog on a deserted island?
- Is your site out of date, can’t be read on a cell phone, or is just plain ugly?
- Is your website non existent and you’re attempting to use a Facebook page, that is getting buried by hundreds of other status updates?
- Are you too busy to deal with the technical aspects of setting up a site even though you know you need one to compete, are techno-phobic when it comes to doing it yourself, or would like to save some money on your site design so you can keep more of your profit?
What you need is a WordPress Blogsite
Here are some reasons why:
A static website never changes. The best you can hope for is that someone finds your phone number and calls you up, even though they don’t know much about you.
A replicated website is a cookie cutter product portal that benefits your company but doesn’t distinguish you from the crowd of other consultants. This is true for network marketers, real estate agents, insurance people, and franchise owners.
WordPress has become the platform of choice for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Did you know that most of the news you get online comes from blogsites?
It’s a content management system that is designed to bring you traffic and has the tools that will make it easy for you to interact and get personal with your clients and prospects.
Here are the benefits of having a WordPress blogsite:
- When you provide valuable content for your prospects and clients via blog posts, it will establish you as an expert in your field, help you gain credibility and may even catapult you to celebrity status.
- Business owners who blog get 55% more traffic than those who do not.
- You can keep all your files, media and other info organized in the back office of your site and on your hosting account. No one else has access to it and only you can delete it.
- It’s easy to embed videos, audios, and other media into your pages and posts.
- WordPress is naturally search engine friendly. Each blog post brings new traffic from Google and social sites.
- You don’t have to call your webmaster or know code every time you want to make an edit because it is easy to log in and make changes.
- Your prospects and customers can comment or interact with you from your site.
- You can send your blog post feed to many other sites, to expand your client base and build your visibility.
- Thousands of WordPress Plugins will help you do just about anything you can possibly imagine for your particular business.
- Email opt in forms are easily integrated on your site to build your list of newsletter subscribers.
- It’s inexpensive to set up and operate a WordPress site. After that, all you pay for is a yearly hosting fee that is typically under $100.
- Your blogsite doesn’t have to look like a standard blog. Many WordPress themes look better than some “expensive” websites.
Here’s Where We Can Help You
Although WordPress is fairly easy to set up, most business owners have neither the time nor interest to learn the in’s and out’s of configuring and optimizing their blog. Others are simply techno-phobic. At Sharp Biz Image, our goal is to make it easy and affordable for you to get your business online.
We will also teach you how to perform basic tasks such as posting, uploading media and making changes to your blogsite in language that does not sound like Geek. That way you are not at the mercy of a webmaster every time you want to add something new. We make sure your blogsite is highly optimized so that works MUCH BETTER than right out of the box.
A blogsite is your HOME on the Internet where you can invite clients to come and have coffee with you in a quiet and focused environment, unlike the noisy and distracting environment of social media.

Since everyone has individual needs, it’s impossible to quote a flat price. A straight installation and simple configuration will be priced less than a blog that is being moved to a new host or requires complicated plugins such as shopping carts. However, we guarantee that we will work with your budget even if it’s on a shoestring. For those with existing blogs who need help, service fees will be determined on an hourly basis or flat monthly fee depending on what is needed.
We just re-launched my speaker, author, actor, host website! Special thanks to Rebecca Forstadt Olkowski, fellow CEO Space grad, and phenomenal web artist, guru, advisor! I’m so grateful for all Rebecca is doing to support me. If you need web support, especially WordPress, you HAVE to give her a shout!

Rebecca is amazing! I was completely ignorant of blogging but she got my site up and running in no time. The site is clean and professional with all kinds of cool widgets and best of all, she took the time to train me on how to use the tools.
Going in I had this vague idea that I was going to wing it, get a WordPress account and learn as I go. But as a small business owner, my time is valuable. Now that I see what goes on into designing one of those sites with all the plugins and tricks of the trade, I realize that I just saved weeks if not months in hiring Rebecca.
I would recommend Sharpbizimage.com to anyone who has been thinking about setting up a blog site but is stumped on how to get started. Rebecca is an experienced professional and the price she charges for the service she provides is more than reasonable. Rebecca did not just build a website for me, she empowered me to take control of my own WordPress blog. I am deeply grateful for that.
