Not only does a website “validate” you, it’s where most prospects are going to have their first contact with you. With all the platforms available now, you can go crazy trying to sort through it all. This section includes recommendations on web platforms, image resources, website hosting, and more.
Podcasting is single best way to create “long form” contact for your prospects and customers. They can literally take you anywhere – the gym, hiking, commuting and more. It’s also a great way to reach out to prospects, build cred by demonstrating your expertise, and connecting with others. I list the resources and equipment I recommend for this.
