    Blog for Business Or Risk A Business Bypass!

    Can you really afford NOT to?


    Do your clients really understand all you can offer them?

    Need some help creating an online presence for your product or service which...

    Tickboxbba Clearly speaks your message?

    TickboxbbaAttracts plenty of targeted visitors?

    TickboxbbaPuts YOU in control, not your web designer?

    TickboxbbaCosts surprisingly little to set-up and maintain?

    Want to know more...

    Many ‘professionally designed’ websites don’t really work.  Know why?

    Looking pretty doesn’t mean they’re search engine optimised.  A marketing disaster for you!

    Or, they may work well from the technology and search engine angles but

    • Is the design too busy?
    • Does the copy compel your client to click through?
    • Is your site navigation carrying your client smoothly forward?

    If not, you will alienate and lose your customers.  Another marketing disaster for you!

    They may be designed by people who really do know what they’re doing but

    • Do you have their level of expertise?
    • Will you have to pay every time you want to make changes?
    • Are you at the mercy of the original designers?
    • How long will you have to wait for ‘your turn’?

    Another costly marketing disaster for you, perhaps?


    Here’s WHY I can help!

    I’ve been successfully building simple websites for over 7 years now!  In 2003 I chose to move from an accomplished career in blue-chip marketing, spanning over 10 years, to focus my attention on coaching and online marketing.  Yes, I know exactly what makes a good website from a marketing and 'user-friendly' viewpoint, but I always resisted building them for clients because of the time and effort involved coupled with expectation issues.


    Then I discovered BLOGGING...

    As I grew more confident about putting my opinions ‘out there’, I began to grasp the enormous marketing benefits that blogging offered.  Realising the power of this marketing tool, I began to pay for a blog service that offered more useful facilities.  It was only when I upgraded my Typepad account to benefit from even more widgets and features that I fully appreciated the enormous potential blogging offered, particularly to small business owners and self-employed people.


    That’s when I decided to offer my BLOGSITE for BUSINESS service to the world!

    *A Blogsite is a website based on blog technology.

    It may replace or complement an existing website but the objectives are always the same, to:

    TickboxbbaRaise your profile and position you as an expert in your field

    TickboxbbaAttract traffic that is interested in your product or service, or area of expertise

    TickboxbbaBuild relationships with potential customers who are not quite ready to buy

    TickboxbbaNetwork with other professionals and find 'joint venture' partners

    TickboxbbaAllow you to take online payments

    TickboxbbaPut you in control of your online presence and do away with the worry of web design/master bills

    Take a look at these Case Studies to see some examples of Blogsites in action.

    Stafow_screensht_2"No wonder she’s called an angel blogger – Claire has created the most wonderful blog for my coaching and hypnotherapy business.  She is incredibly focused and creative, with fresh ideas, which made a huge difference in working with her." 

    "She really cares about my business and it was reflected in the way she put her heart and soul into creating a perfect fit for my business image and message that I wanted to convey to my clients.  Not only that, but she taught me how to use Typepad by way of a step-by-step tutorial in easy to understand language.  I feel in control of my own marketing message now and not reliant on some I.T buff who has no idea what my business is all about.  I am no longer stuck with a static website and this is even more fun as I get regular interaction with people visiting my blog.  Claire you are a star and I can’t thank you enough for your brilliant expertise!"

    So, Should YOU Have a Blogsite?

    Good question!  Did you have a look at the Case Studies? You’ll notice that Blogsites are the perfect solution for self-employed people and small business owners! 

    I’ve created Blogsites for coaches, therapists, consultants, freelancers, health and fitness instructors, small business owners and charities as well as for a stunt performer/director, a musician/producer and an independent record label. And the list goes on...

    Lifes_a__picnic_scrngrabOne very happy client uses her Blogsite to promote her unique catering company specialising in luxury, private picnics cruises on the River Dart.  Whilst her website acts as an online brochure, her Blogsite brings in the all important traffic and allows existing and potential customers to get to know the Skipper and keep up-to-date with all her latest news. Check out Life's A Picnic here.

    And there’s a property investor who wants to market her luxury properties in Andalucia!  In her complimentary consultation, I explained how she could target her chosen market by blogging about relevant topics, providing really useful advice and information about the location, facilities, local attractions, even last minute deals!  Can you see how easily she could position herself as an expert in her field?  So can you! 

    How’s that for successful free marketing?    


    Would you love to start your own business but worry about giving up the ‘day job’?

    Well, you could make a start today without taking any worrying risks.  All you need is a Blogsite and a couple of free hours in the evening to start building yourself a bright new future!

    Rat_race_escape_artist_scrnsht That's exactly what The Rat Race Escape Artist is doing! You can work towards your dream of financial freedom for a ridiculously modest 'one-time' outlay of just £597 for my STANDARD PACKAGE.

    (This excludes the Typepad hosting cost of c.$8.95/mth.)

    This is all you’ll need if you simply want a professional looking blog, either to support your existing website or to ‘stand alone’. 

    Don’t worry about design or branding or any of the technical stuff – let me take care of all that for you.  And when I hand over your new Blogsite that we planned together, I’ll give you all the training you need to take your new ‘baby’ forward.

    I really believe in the philosophy I’m sure you’ve heard before, which says:

    TEACH a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

    I could take your money, configure your blog, hand it over and leave you to get on with it!  Sound familiar?  You may have experienced exactly this!  Or perhaps you’re afraid of being left floundering (as may be the case when you invest in an expensive designer-built website)?

    There’s no need to worry!  I guarantee to do all the trickier technical stuff that only needs doing once – the blogsite design and configuration.

    Then, through a series of telephone calls, I take your hand and walk you through a series of processes that you will want to use again and again.

    When you’re ready, we’ll schedule our final call when you complete your training and we make the Blogsite public!

    Yes, it really is that easy to step towards your dream business.  How many times have you wished you could change your lifestyle?  Now you can!  It’s time to take action...

    See how well this could work for your community or business?

    (For a full explanation of each of the packages available, book yourself in for an Initial Consultation. Then we'll email you our Service Specification Brochure.)

    .

    That’s great, but will I need any special equipment to set up my Blogsite?

    You’ll need a broadband Internet connection and the ability to be online and on the ‘phone at the same time.  (A headset or ‘speakerphone’ are ideal for this.)

    Alternatively, you may prefer to use Skype.  That’s it!


    Yes, I want to sign up!  What do I do?
