Websites

[John M. Formsma]

Jim,

To get new customers, you must drive traffic there. You can submit the
site to search engines which will help if people are searching for a
tech in their area.

I've had one for a while. Basically, just to allow customers to educate
themselves about piano stuff. It works 24/7 too. Maybe have had a couple
new customers. It's not that expensive - monthly rates start around
$5/month. Mine is $13/month.

I have lots of plans for mine, but have had little time to add more
stuff. One thing I hope to do is put restoration photos on the site. For
a customer, it would help to see what's involved in a rebuild.

Seems like everyone is getting one - I view it as being on the cutting
edge. As far as profitability, I'm looking forward five years ahead
rather than looking at what the last six months has produced.
