New!

Online Appointment Scheduler!

 

I've had many clients ask for this service and now I am able to offer it!

 

The web based online appointment scheduler is just what you need if you can't be available to answer your phone all day, and you can't afford to hire someone to answer your phone to schedule appointments. You can use your voicemail to direct people to your website where they can make their own appointment and even pay for it! You log in as administrator to update the schedules and view client information. The program runs on a secure server (https//:) so all of your client information is safe!

This program is a useful tool for many types of businesses. Whether you are scheduling counseling appointments, training sessions, estimate appointments, or any service that requires clients to schedule from available time slots this program can boost your business!

Getting More Traffic to Your Website

In these tough economic times it's important to spend your advertising dollars wisely! 

I have had many clients call or email me to ask how they can get more visitors - and repeat visitors to their website.  One very effective way to do this is to set up an e-newsletter like this one.  Offer your visitors a reason (or two) to visit your website by sending them helpful articles, advice and monthly specials.  It's a great way to keep your visitors informed about your business and what's new.

 

The program I use for my newsletter is Express Email Marketing, which is through powersitedomains.com, my domain name registration website.  The cost is just $7.99 a month for up to 500 emails sent per month.  It's an opt-in opt-out email marketing tool so you can't use it for spamming, but you can upload a list of all of your clients email addresses or even people who have sent you inquiries.  New visitors can sign up on your website and their email address goes directly into the Express Email Marketing database.

 

If you are interested in starting an email newsletter campaign, I can Create a template to match your website and upload it for you.  I actually create my entire newsletter in the same program I create websites and upload the html file into Express Email marketing.

 

If you hate writing or just don't have time, there are many websites that offer free articles to use in your newsletter. 

Here's just a few I found with articles pertaining to just about anything:

www.isnare.com/

www.articlebiz.com

www.free-articles-zone.com/

 

If you use any of these services, make sure to read their Terms of Service.  Most will require at a minimum, a link to the writer or website you found the article, which is in my opinion, a small price to pay.

Remote Computer Access

 

Did you know that if you are having problems setting up email, creating documents or doing just about anything on your computer I can remotely access it and show you what you need to do or fix the problem for you from my computer?  This is a great option for people who need quick help, and it's safe.  I can only access you computer when you are sitting at it and give me permission to do so.  Keep this in mind when you run into a problem.  I have been on a computer every day for the past 25 years and am very good at making things work!

 

I charge $40.00 an hour (in half hour increments) for this service, but it's a lot cheaper than taking your computer to a shop - and a lot faster!
