Personal Websites

Most of the calls and questions I've been answering for you recently have been concerning the corporate-sponsored demonstrator websites. Here it is in a nutshell:

1. How much does it cost?
Quarterly $29.97 or Yearly 99.97 You choose which way you prefer and they will bill you automatically. This amount also includes Gold Canyon's monthly E-Newsletter Service for all the clients with email addresses in your Customer List. You can cancel your subscription anytime by going to Essentials/Action/My E-Tools.

2. How do I sign up?
Log in to Essentials and go to Action/My E-Tools. You pick your URL, billing cycle and payment amount, and Voila! You're ready to start your Internet business. Check out our team mate's sites (scroll down and look at right column). This will give you ideas to personalize your site.

3. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Having a personal website allows you to accept customer credit card orders -- simply enter it on your personal website, better yet, let them enter their own orders and pay with their credit card! Also, you can share your website with friends and family who don't live close to you. They'll support your business and no shipping hassles! Your customers will love being able to shop online 24/7.

4. Tips & Hints All of you that already have personal websites, please share any ideas or tips you've learned or experienced with the rest of us. My advice - you have to market yourself if you want business!!!! Customers don't just show up on there, you have to get your website "out there". Put a magnetic sign on your vehicle, add your new website to your business cards, reorder stickers and catalogs.
