As much as l wanted to continue with the next phase of my R8 Program, l feel that it is important that l deviate slightly and talk about sales. Remember, “nothing happens ‘til a sale is made”.  This is the premise that is the driving force behind the Marin Media Group (www.marinmediagroup.com).

At a recent seminar that l was speaking at, it seemed that 75% of the questions that came my way from business owners was, “what can we do to generate more sales from our website”?

A website, no matter how much time, effort or money you may put into it, is only effective if it is seen.

It is not different than having a beautiful car, but never taking it out of the garage.

Business today has evolved into such a competitive level that you cannot afford to sit around with a website that’s not getting any page views, its all about exposure. That’s why at Marin Media Group, we want to help you, the business owner, to get in the race and bring people to your very own homepage. The amazing thing about the world wide web today, is that we believe perception is 90% of everything, and no matter how small or big your company is, how people perceive it is probably what is going to get them browsing through your site. We have all seen them, sites that most would not even want to put their name on. With the advent of so many quick build softwares, it’s not hard to build a website, but what can be a challenge is making that website work for you to drive customers to your place of business, be it a local store or a global store through e-commerce.

What bothers me is that business owners tend to take the “cheap” way out. They know a friend, who has a neighbor whose cousin can build a site for next to nothing. Reality is, once we get a hold of these “next to nothing” sites, it cost a lot more to rebuild it.

Image… you build a home taking shortcuts on the quality of material, less than adequate labor, work on it part-time only to find out that when you go to put in all the windows and doors, guess what… they don’t fit. Now you have two options; tear it all down and make them fit, or have the windows and doors reconstructed to make them fit. Either way, it costs more! Stay away from this. It is not worth it. It really makes you look bad.

Website Creation to Hosting, Under One Roof
If you’re like most business owners, you probably don’t fully understand the internet that well. In fact, from our experience, many aren’t that interested in understanding what is called the “back end” of things. They just want to have an effective website, a good domain name and a growing business.

That’s why Marin Media Group had decided over a year ago to bypass all the service companies and become a full service provider for our clients.

What that means is simple; we can do whatever you need done – period! Need a domain, done! Need a website, done! Need that website hosted, done!

Essentially what we did was eliminate the process of going through several hoops to get to where we need to be. That’s why we had launched our new service website – to help you get things done!

I want to help you and it won’t cost you a thing to talk to me. I want to make a big job simple for you.

Visit www.marinmediagroup.com, click on the PORTFOLIO tab and check out what we have done for others. Then send me an email with your corporate website address. I will take a look at it. I will then call you and give you my opinion…absolutely FREE. Then you can take my advice and go back to your website person and get them to implement the recommendations. If they don’t get it, drop them. After-all, we’re talking, right?

If you don’t have someone who oversees your site, let me know. I can promise you that the Marin Media Group will implement the solution(s) in a quick, efficient and cost-effective way while providing you with the most professional looking website and/or service available today!
