On almost a daily basis I have people come to me who have had a bad experience. An experience that may have cost them thousands of dollars upfront and then perhaps tens of thousands of dollars down the road. For some of them it meant the end of their dream of being a successful business owner. I also talk to people who lost their jobs because the business they worked for did not understand just how much the business world had changed in the last few years. For example look at advertising. It's completely different from even two or three years ago. The Internet is replacing television, radio, magazines, newspapers and even the phone books. And yet, while almost every business owner made or soon will make the decision to replace some or all of their existing advertising with websites most of these same people did not understand that "Websites Are Not Magic". In fact, most websites are a waste of money because they don't rank well enough in Google and the other search engines for the products and services the businesses sell. Further many people don't understand that they may be getting ripped off by the people they are paying to build their websites. I'm tired of seeing people become victims so I want to do something about it. What I did was very simple and yet it can save business owners a fortune and perhaps save some jobs to. I simply put together a list of questions for you to ask when interviewing website companies. The questions will help you separate the good from the bad. The honest from the dishonest. I hope that these questions will help protect you and your business from a bad experience. Please tell a friend! Then make your own list of questions people should ask from buying from people in your line of work. Together we can make a difference! Thank you, Steven W.
