Why a Website?

Do you really need a website?

Is a site worth the “investment” (especially up front cost)?

  • More time than money to set up and maintain
  • Easier alternatives to a website:
    • Engage on 1 or more social media platforms
    • Use a rich LinkedIn profile & network as a starting point on Web
    • Set up a simple “personal landing page” – About.Me or better on WP.COM
A Website tells your Story!

Rationale for a Blog

  • A digital “storefront” you control and “brand”
  • A home or “hub” for other social media
  • A broad and deep “container” for your content and story

*Website as a space to hone, update your “value add”

 — for your next employer

 — or for consulting clients

— or to share your blogging passion

One Caveat!...Website as just part of your Marketing Message…
