Creating The Legacy: Part I, Tips for Beginners
Business is risky. When dealing with clients, ensuring your reliability is key to success. I bet most of you would agree that you would pay an extra $5 to a reliable business than $0 extra dollars to a user that just joined a forum yesterday. You’re paying for your safety. However, if you are just starting out, how do you create a reputation for yourself? You want to make sales, but no one wants to buy from you because you haven’t made any before.
This problem is faced by many young teens coming out of college with low credit card ratings. They want to get a good rating, but no one will give them some sort of a loan to increase that rating. But in both domain and credit ratings, there are ways around these troubles.
Lying is a harsh word, and in no way do I support lying. However, creating a great image for yourself is easier than you may think. Look at http://www.Asmro.com, DNUnderground’s parent company. This theme and website was thrown up in around an hour. Sure, we still need a welcome post, but even the content on the website is near sufficient to convince a potential client of your professionalism, (actually a real word,) and reliability. In all, a company website that FUNCTIONS well is the first step to building your legacy.
Talk the talk. On your company website, or even on a separate blog speak professionally. This means to write grammatically correct (I’m sure I’ve screwed up somewhere in this post,) use a vast vocabulary, and include correct statistics. Talking the talk also applies to the information you include regarding yourself. Frequently, DNUnderground mentions past experience. These past experiences increase our public image and ensure our readers that we are reliable and trusted members of the internet community.
I’ve split my original article into two sections, one about Tips for Beginners, and one about calling out Rick Schwartz. Get excited for tomorrow’s article.
Questions To Comment On:
- How did you get started or create your legacy?
- Would you pay $5 more for reliability?
“but even the content on the website is near sufficient to convince a potential client of your professionalism”
I think that if you are looking for professionalism then you may want to get rid of the footer link for cheap sprint cell phones=).
That has been corrected. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. Links and ads definitely take away from a corporate website’s professionalism. The banners on the sidebar will soon be either taken away or replaced with banners for our own sites, which I would consider to be the only exception for it to be okay for a company to have banners on their corporate website.
Just to add on to Sam’s comment, banners and ads related to the content of the site show a company’s ability to network well, and also further a visitors trust in their success. More banners=More money (prospectively.)
