Just take a look at the coverage on Fox News by playing the video below.

This trend will only spread so I urge you to start looking at the Internet as a viable and cost-effective alternative for advertising your business.

Just take a look at how easy it is to have a website up and running.

1. You can grab a domain name from GoDaddy for under £5 for a year.

2. I recommend Host Monster for hosting your website because it is cheap, packed with features and the customer support is simply amazing (all important when you need technical help quickly). This will cost you around £4 a month.

3. You can perform a simple few clicks installation of a website like Foxley Marketing Solutions using Simple Scripts WordPress Installation feature within the cPanel area of Host Monster. If you use this option then you can purchase a top notch professional WordPress Theme from Studio Press for as little as £36.95.

4. If you don’t fancy using the power of a self-hosted blog using WordPress another alternative is to use a dedicated piece of software to custom build your very own website and the perfect tool for this is XSitePro. This software is super powerful and puts you in total control and will cost you around £120.

5. Lastly, your website will start being indexed (listed) in the search engines when you start adding content and receiving visitors. The easiest way to rank highly in the search engines is to target specific keywords for your businesses target market. We other SEO packages that will meet any budget. When you have your website up and running or ready to launch then give us a call on UK 0798 802 6719 for a personalised quote and to discuss your needs.

To your success,

P.s. You can gain access to a wealth of training materials that will help you grow you business over at one of my favourite resources, Online Biz. The forum is open to the public and you quickly learn a lot about marketing.

Hopefully you will know how important an addition a business blog can be for increasing website traffic and extending your authority within your target market.

If you are using a self-hosted WordPress blog (from WordPress.org) you will have access to a huge array of free themes at WordPress Themes. The major draw-back to having a free theme is that they often do not have the customer support that you’ll get from purchasing a premium theme. When your site hits an error you’ll want to be able to have it recitfied in no-time at all.

Another problem is not many themes are built with the search engines in mind. It’s all well and good having a great looking blog but it won’t have much of an impact if the search engines don’t give you much relevance due to poor coding of the design (unnoticable to the naked eye).

There is one amazing solution to this and this is to buy a Premium WordPress Theme customised right out-of-the-box. Brian Gardner has teamed up with Joost de Valk of Yoast.com. Brain Gardner’s Studio Press team turn out some of the best looking WordPress themes around and Joost has created some very powerful WordPress plugins and is a WordPress SEO expert.

Take a good look at the Studio Press website, find a theme you like and then click on the link that says ‘view theme demo’. The guys have put together a great forum that is an amazing resource for customisation information and customer support.

You’ll find that the themes are a lot cheaper than hiring a web design company to put together a blog for you; you can even use the blog themes as your full website as WordPress and the Studio Press themes allow a ‘static’ homepage option.

You will certainly grab your visitors attention with any one of the themes Studio Press have on offer.

To you success,

Karl Foxley
