A Powerful CMS Unleashed

For all the small business owners who claim that building a profitable ecommerce site is out of reach, here is a new book launched "A Powerful CMS Unleashed".

I was just reading an article that had the headline "Six reasons not to try to be an online retailer" and I think it reflects the current market. Not only does a business owner need to know his business in and out, he needs to have some technical knowledge too.

Some of the online retailers whom I provide service for, have a "list of tasks" they want me to do:

Submit my website to search engines every two weeks
Write 2 articles a day (yea, thats right, a day) and submit it to ezines

The most common one, I would laugh if it was not sad - I have a $100 budget, get my site on top of Google in a week.

At the risk of sounding patronising, you need more than that, in terms of time and money to do it the right way.

So how about an offer to get an ecommerce site up and running. One that is search friendly, all for under $100?

With the amount of information available, consumers are looking for more and more way s to get their dollar to go a long way. Yes Sir/Ma'am, I agree SEO firms are not cheap. But how about spending sometime online and doing it yourself? It can't be that hard. Considering the fact that there are millions of web design firms that sprout up everywhere.

So why did an SEO firm take this suicidal step of getting into this already saturated market? Go to ebay, someone is selling a website for under $10.

Lets just say that the headache of putting together a shopping cart, changing the hosting provider because the IP was a virtual one and causes the risk of spam if done by another site sharing the same IP, installation of tracking with analytics on other shopping carts are sometimes near impossible or hard to figure out and it all goes away if you make any changes on the webpage... yadda yadda yadda... I think this is reason enough to just get it done cheap by yourself.

No hassles.

You can change the webpage any number of times.
Add a video
Add an image gallery and upload photos
Add meta tags, change the title of the document
Create a survey for your visitors
Do a poll to see what they are thinking
Display products for sale
Create a sitemap

And the list goes on...

Want to try it out?

Come on! Dont just sit there cribbing about how exorbitant the firms are these days.

Go on, give it a try.

If not anything else, you get your money back.

Did I mention you get 90 days of free technical support while you are creating that dream website?
