When it comes to our online businesses we tend to think in a limited way. Although, online/internet marketing is arguably the best form of promotion for your business, it is important to remember the great benefits of marketing offline as well.

About
KKM is about three friends who have come together in order to share their knowlege and experience in the world of Internet Marketing. Like many others we were always drawn in many different directions trying to find the key to online success, oftentimes more than not losing money along the way. In the last year we have blinded ourselves to all these quick rich offers and concentrated on solid search engine and Web 2.0 marketing techniques. The result are sites we are very proud of:

Dear Online Friend,
Having a web presence today is a must. And having a good one is even better. But don’t take my word for it. Consider these facts* and see how important a website could be for you:
-
More then 8 billion web pages have been tallied on the Internet as of March 2007
-
Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company tracking Web growth since 1995, reported some 106,875,138 Web sites with domain names and content on them in the year 2007, compared to only 18,000 Web sites in August 1995.
-
Turning a basic website into an income source is a popular practice today.
People are turn websites into money-making opportunities. And they are doing so by focusing on one of two main types of sites:
1) An information site drawing visitors via freebies – free reports, downloads, articles and more, then earning through clicks and other revenue-generating streams.
2) An online shopping cart - where shoppers can purchase products and services at their convenience 24/7.
However, building websites and turning them into money-making opportunities isn’t easy. And if you don’t watch out, your costs could soar too high, leaving you in the red or with little to no opportunity to even cover your initial expenses back in a reasonable amount of time.
Let’s take a quick look at what you need in a website plus average costs. Then you can do the math for yourself and see what fits in with your budget and basic business plans.
What You Need In A Website
Your website needs an excellent overall presence, more than just a software solution. Your site needs:
-
A focused theme. There are more than dozens of site types out there ranging from A to Z from Affiliate sites to Blogs, to Community sites and Database sites and Web Portals and more. A good design team will help you pull your “passion” together into a tight focused business.
-
A good design with strong color and font combinations that don’t cause people headaches. Large digital images / graphics, tiny fonts, too many colors and too many bells and whistles loading all at once can overwhelm many website visitors. Don’t risk people clicking away. A good web design team will coordinate just what you need on your site.
-
Good navigation and functionality. Your website visitors need to be able to move around your site, place items in your cart, post messages and be able to take care of any number of interactions on your site – fast and easy. A good design team will make sure your site has menus, buttons and other features that work – and work well.
Average Web Design Costs
Web designers can charge a bundle, that’s for sure. Here is a small sampling of online designer fees:
- Sites with bells and whistles like plug-in support, unique page designs, and extra graphics run the base price plus an additional $1800-$2000 range
- Third party service providers charge $3,000- $5,000 for a blog design package that includes:
1) Graphical comps produced in Photoshop
2) Graphical splicing for optimal CSS/XHTML structure
3) CSS/XHTML production in standards-compliant fashion
4) Unique CSS/XHTML adaptation to CMS platform of choice
5) Bell-and-whistle functionality to meet client requirements
- Individual web designers charge $2,500 for a signature website design that has bells and whistles for you, possibly earning $100 per hour.
But Beware Of Web Designers. Their Sites May Look Great, But Do The Sites Bring In Traffic - -And Keep It On Your Site For Awhile?
This is important! Your website MUST attract both Search Engines AND People to your site - -and keep them there for awhile – so that you can make money from their visits. You want others to enjoy your content, refer their friends, bookmark the site and return over and over again, using your site as a valuable resource tool.
And not all web designers are experienced at making valuable sites like these:

So save your MONEY, TIME and ENERGY!

We do this because we want people who really wish to create an online business to succeed and not make the many mistakes we did when we first started. Our years of experience will help you avoid those pitfalls. Our fees are $100 hr and those that are interested will need to go through an interview process to make sure that they are serious.

By now almost everyone has heard the term Niche Sites. It is a very popular, and manytimes overused buzz word amongst internet marketers. It seems that almost everyone who wants to build a site is jumping on the bandwagon an building niche site in hopes of dominiating the search engine rankings for their particular niche and making tons of money. And for good reason. Before I go into that lets define the term a bit further. A niche site can be defined as a site that focuses on a narrow subject or market. Examples might include pets, fishing, landscaping, parenting, etc. The biggest advantage of focusing on a particular niche is that big businesses usually don’t bother and the competition is less fierce. The trick to finding a good niche is to find one which is rich in keywords that people search for, has high monthly volume, and is not satuated by big competition.
