One of the biggest questions we have been asked lately with all of the Blogger to WordPress conversion work is “How can I use my site to make money online like all of the others?”

Whew. That’s a hard question to answer…mainly because we’re not in the blogging trenches everyday. We don’t rely on our blog here at Evenpar Solutions to drive monthly revenue…although that would be nice. We use our blog to share interesting tidbits, tutorials, and news for viewers of our site.

In this video on Secrets to Making Money Online, ProBlogger Daren Rowse shares some great ideas on how to make money online.

We teamed up with Starke Agency, Montgomery’s oldest independent insurance agency in business since 1929, to create myStarke.com. We teamed up with the talented graphic designer, Kasey Marie, and created this custom WordPress theme for the site. So what is myStarke?

According to their website,

“myStarke is the Personal Lines Department of Starke Agency Inc., Montgomery’s oldest independent insurance agency in business since 1929. Our goal at myStarke is to provide our clients with top notch coverage while always making sure we are saving you as much money as possible. As an independent agency, our number one goal will always be to do what’s right for the insured and since we don’t have to appease any one company this is rather easy to do. With a total of six people in our Personal Lines Department you can be assured we will always treat you with the utmost respect. And hopefully, you will find value in doing business with local people who know you and your individual needs.”

We hope you’ll find the website easy to use and full of useful information. Check them out at www.mystarke.com.

exposing your website…how?

Having a sharp and user friendly website is a must in today’s marketplace. In order to gain recognition for your brand or to be taken seriously as a business, requires a great web presence. For out of town visitors, having a website that showcases your business and its services is a must. Just the other day, we were looking for a specific service in our hometown, and without knowing it, we started narrowing down our choices by 1) Did the company have a website, and 2) Was the website user friendly, provide the information we needed, and was it well designed. As we thought about this, we realized that we were conducting a usability test against ourselves. What do people want to see when they search for a business on the web? They want to see a well designed and informative website, one that is very user friendly, and allows them to find the information they need as quickly as possible. Let’s face it, without a web presence in today’s market place, business will become slower, maybe even non-existent.

So the question is, How do we expose our website?

Freelance Switch said it best! Add a blog!

We all know that search engines love content. Guess what? Blogs all are about content. Let’s use this to our advantage when creating a website for our business. Imagine if you had a small five page website with the typical about us, services, and contact us pages. That content becomes static over time and less interesting to the average viewer. Now, add a blog to that website, you have created an endless supply of potential content. Over the course of a few years, if you were to publish a few blog posts a week on specific topics geared towards your industry, you would have hundreds of blog posts with very rich and relevant content. This, along with having a sharply designed website, will draw more search engine traffic than that other website you had, giving your business a much stronger web presence that you could have ever had with the static website.

Remember one thing, a website without content is like a business without services, no one will come.

CONTENT IS KING!!
