A handcrafted website will really set you apart from the crowd

At ‘245 days...’ I want to bring you the best solutions for your new startup business. It can be difficult to prioritise which things to get done when you are starting out but one area that any modern business needs is a quality website. I speak to startup owners all the time. In my experience, there are too many occasions when the entrepreneur has a wonderful vision for their website and then gets talked out of it by a cheap web designer that wants to produce a website that is easy for them to replicate. The less work for the designer, the happier they are.

Not so with https://internetpop.ca/ where they specialize in producing a handcrafted website. The difference between this and the run of the mill, out of the box websites is stunning. You want your website to sing about all the things you do well, and a website from https://internetpop.ca/ will help you to do that. As you start your new company you will have ideas about the values that you hold and the type of company that you want to be viewed as. Your website is a natural extension of that. It is the presence that a large proportion of your customers and potential customers will first see. You want it to sing your values. You don’t want it to look like another corporate website that has been churned out by an un-inventive designer.



The guys at https://internetpop.ca/ understand all of this so they work with you to create a website that you will be proud of. It should give the visitor a reason to look further, to return in the future and to buy from your company. This is not achieved by repeating what you can find everywhere else on the web. It is done by offering something unique and special. https://internetpop.ca/ can make that special website by talking to you, listening to your needs and acting upon your requests.

At ‘245 days...’ I like to let you guys know about services that can really make a difference to your new business. I think that a high quality website that is handcrafted to your exact specifications is an investment really worth making. It can help to set you apart from your competition.


You can contact them via their website, social media or get them to call you. Talk to them today and you will learn what their handcrafted website can do for your business.

Fiverr and RawShorts

-93

I've been back on the serendipity trail (blog) this week and I've found two great little sites that are helping me to earn money and self-publicise the work that I have been doing recently.

The sites that I am referring to are www.rawshorts.com and www.fiverr.com and I've found both sites to be a real help in moving forward with marketing.

I've mentioned before about using fiverr to get the covers designed for my Kindle ebooks and I find that for a medium such as the Kindle ebook, the designers come up with suitable fast designs that meet my needs. The things that fiverr offers are huge - from flyers, posters and banner ads to copywriting, translation and proofreading. There are thousands and thousands of people on there offering services for small and medium businesses. It's worth checking it out.

One of the people offering services is me! And I'm offering blog mentions on my football, retail and estate agency blogs or positive professional reviews on a website of the buyers choosing. The concept is simple - find a service you need, pay $5 to the seller and then receive the service in a couple of days.

My offering can be found at https://uk.fiverr.com/homeestates

Check it out!

The other website that I found on one of my meandering serendipity trips is RawShorts. This has a series of templates of short animated promotional videos for yout to edit and make into something that you can use yourself. The videos can be uploaded to YouTube and from there you can download the MP4 file and use it where you need it.

I have produced the video below to advertise my blog service on fiverr.com.



There are loads of videos to choose from and then you can edit away to add your own logo, own wording and own images to make it look like something that was made just for your brand. Again, I recommend that you try it out.

Photographs, reviews, fiverr and some serious editing are improving my Kindle book

-47

I've been looking to increase the income from my first Kindle ebook by improving it in several ways.

How to sell your house: What estate agents don't tell you by Steven Thompson

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I5HOJAM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_etaRvb3QK3CFG


These changes are coming before I finish my second ebook on the related topic of and then a combined book of The income I receive from this has been modest but steady, and I want to extend this to help when I eventually open my estate agency and have to rely on other income for a short while.

I've looked at the book and the changes I think were needed and the details are below-

Addition of photographs
The book itself flowed quite well in the way it was written but the newer version, to be released soon, will have some stock photos added to the text to break up the words and provide a link between the chapters. They are simple stock images that provide visual clues to the text and make it more easily readable.

Top tips boxes
I found that throughout the text I was highlighting really good ideas of how to make the most out of the process of selling your home. The ideas tended to get lost in the text as there were over 5,000 words. I came across the idea of adding boxes marked with the heading "TOP TIP." This enables the reader to spot the things to make the big changes. In short, it really highlights the really good ideas.

Reviews
I've started the process of emsing people a copy if the book so that they can give me a review. The Amazon reviews help potential buyers to make their decision in terms of whether to buy something. I've started to contact the top reviewers on Amazon with a copy of the book with a request to read and review. Hopefully this will add to the interest in the book and some reviews (hopefully positive) will tempt people to buy or borrow.

A new cover
I decided that the original cover that I designed myself on Microsoft Publisher didn't really stand up to the competition. It looked homemade. During one of my serendipity trips on the internet I found a website called fiverr.com. (See blog - http://245daystogo.blogspot.com/2015/06/stumbling-across-ideas-and-answers-when.html .) The website brings together designers and people who need quick basic designs - all for the princely sum of $5.

My designer came up with the following design first-



Obviously with a website that crosses large parts of the world, there can be small issues with communication. With fiverr, the designers have rules they post in the site when you instruct them to produce work for you. My designer allows one alteration to the design and if you're still not happy after that they refund your money. I asked for a revision to change the notes at the bottom of the picture to UK sterling pound notes as the book is mainly aimed at the UK market.



And this is the final design. The new design is uploaded to the book's profile on the Amazon page. The new design shows another change, albeit sort-term. There are many books called 'How To Sell Your House' on Amazon already, so I've decided initially to make this Kindle book titled 'How To Sell Your Home' to differentiate. The next step will be, however, to order another Kindle book cover and add the title the second time, so it's listed under both 'house' and 'home' on the Amazon website. I hope that this will enable me to reach both search terms.
