The Best Web Tools And Properties For 2014
With so many tools, bells, whistles, and one-click-wonders available for your online business, it's too simple to get overwhelmed. When that happens, you can a) throw money away on things you'll never use b) waste time on activities that drain your energy more than they increase your profits or c) keep you frozen with inaction for fear of choosing the wrong tool.
Well, sit back and relax. We have an app for that (sort of)! Every online success story today once was caught in the sea of overwhelm, just like you!
In the true spirit of Oz and "pulling back the curtain, James Wedmore, has just revealed some of his favorite websites and website properties you need to run your business successfully. Yes, these are those "keys" everyone is always talking about!
Build Upon What you Own: Your Blog
Free, Paid, and Social Platforms. There are no shortage of options so which one should you use as the foundation for your business? The answer is: Wherever you have the most control!
Just like in the real world, the more control you have in your business the better. There's always some risk when you build your online empire using on someone else's real estate. Sure, you can get a lease; however, when that lease ends or the contract is terminated, you have to leave. You could be out of business overnight unless you've established an active following that will follow you.
If your business is online, then this can happen as well. What's the solution? Be sure that you hold the keys and the deed to your online business "home." That means a blog, but not just any blog. This is a blog (ie...website) that you own, with a domain name you've purchased, and where you have paid for hosting.
Your Blog is your content platform. Here are the online tools you should be using -
Content Platform: Wordpress.org (not the free hosting version!)
Wordpress Themes: Themeforest.net
