My business is in it’s 6th month and I chose this time to do some restructuring, now that I have a clearer view of things. This is what I added to my site tonight:

What should a blog cost? Well, for some, and most certainly the hobby-bloggers out there, blogging is FREE. For those with time to invest and interest to learn, a blog does not have to cost anything. But what if that blog is part of your business image? What about the “expense” in having a false start? Some costs are harder to calculate than others.

If you’ve been searching the web looking for a set up, and perhaps been discouraged by some of the very expensive software packages and personal design that honestly can cost as much as a new car, you might be feeling a little hesitant to commit. It can feel overwhelming and perhaps you just need someone to guide you a bit, do the harder technical stuff while affording you time to learn and write… and that’s exactly what I offer.

My package includes:

• purchase of a two-year domain name
• hosting for 1 year on a secure, updated server that is very well maintained ($60/year thereafter)
• blog set up
• customized design
• social networking
• editing, tagging, linking, and image insertion on your posts…freeing you to write and not worry with these details. This has been especially helpful for busy travellers!
• post coaching
• weekly tips on what is hot on the internet, what words your audience is using to find you, and how you can better improve your blog and traffic
• organic SEO on a daily basis, driving new and loyal traffic to your site
• detailed traffic reports every month, including valuable information on your traffic make up, keywords, and sources

This is a comprehenive package designed around a basic, consistent formula for growth. IT CAN NOT FAIL and I committ myself to the success of your site, message, and product.

Benefits to you:

• close and personal working relationship with your site’s manager giving you easy access for necessary changes and additions
• FAST service. Nearly of my clients saw their blogs up, designed, and ready for press within a week.
• the “fear factor” of this new endeavor is removed. You are not alone and I will do all I can to guarantee your site’s success!
• the infrastructure is in place, both with a well designed site and well maintained server to support your growing traffic.
• a blog personalizes you to your readership and accomplishes what a static “brochure” website can not
• with directional techniques and an intelligent use of linking, the traffic for the aforementioned static site WILL improve, as your blog becomes a powerhouse, driving traffic where you wish it to go.

If your blog books you just ONE speech a year…wouldn’t it be worth it? For some clients, their blog will pay for itself in just 1/10th of a speech! The ability to know your audience better, to have a platform for getting word out on your product, and to gain the attention of both future listeners and employers is a valuable asset in any business.

Here are some testimonials from my clients:

“Got me from Zero to Lightspeed on Blogging in a Week. I’d procrastinated about creating a blog. Sure, I knew about all the “value” of a blog to my business, but there was so much to learn and I’m so busy with other projects. And it’s all so technical. Then I met Tia and BAM!….I was blogging. And the “value” I though I’d get from the blog was only the tip of the iceberg. I got so much more. And if it wasn’t for Tia… I’d still be at zero.” ~ Dr. Tray Dunaway, dot2dothealthcareblog.com

“Tia Graham from bloggingwithflair.com has been professional, focused,
reliable, creative AND knowledgeable when it comes to her managing my
CelebrateOneMillion.com. Much to my surprise however, Tia has offered
inspiration, patience, and has really wrapped her arms around what my
business is all about. What a breath of fresh air to have someone get as
excited about your business as you are. FIVE stars for Ms. Graham and
bloggingwithflair.com.” ~ Sheryl Lynn of Women Celebrations, celebrateonemillion.com

“With Tia’s help, my blog is much more professional looking and most
important people are reading in droves. She knows how to drive traffic to a
site, keeps me regularly updated on hot blogging topics and edits, links,
and tags my posts for me. She is an incredible asset to me.” Tim Richardson, richestpeopleinamerica.com

I like to learn new things. But the my own learning curve can’t compare with
what having an expert at blogging technical abilities from the outset. As I
now read and learn about technical issues to optimize my blog, I discover
Tia’s already got that covered. Tia is my Blog Guardian Angel who is always
looking out for me, and my business’s, best interest. Her advice and wisdom
about integrating websites and blogs is information I couldn’t get anywhere
else. Dr. Tray Dunaway, dot2dothealthcareblog.com

 

“Realizing that we could either continue at our peril to ignore the
business enhancing aspects of blogs, or do something about it, we recently
chose the later course of action. Given that we were complete idiots when
it came to both the social networking and technical parts of this medium,
the DIY approach was out. As the result of working with Tia, losing our
“blog virginity” was painless, and dare I say, fun. Though it’s still too
early to assess bottom line impact, we’re optimistic. Tune in to the
ContentedCowBlog.com and we’ll keep you posted.”

How much does this cost? Less than you may think. And, I currently have the whole thing discounted, both the package price as well as monthly management. Email me at tia AT bloggingwithflair DOT com and in a week, you’ll be blogging and soaring!
