My name is Lisa Isbell. After 10+ years as an account executive, assisting businesses with their purchase of newspaper, magazine and Internet advertising, I started my own online business on a nearly non-existent budget. Out of that experience I learned that it’s really tough to get online without spending a sizable amount of money. I learned how to do a lot of things myself. Now that I’ve gone beyond my own start-up experience, I offer the types of services I couldn’t find <or at least I couldn’t find reliable sources for them>. Very simple, inexpensive, start up websites that can grow with the experience level of the business owner.
I am a firm believer in win-win solutions and have been deeply disappointed in how many services I found that were lose win, with me on the losing end. It has inspired me – this website is a showcase of free guidance and low-cost services I offer small businesses, non-profit organizations, budding entrepreneurs and just about any kind of small group that needs an online presence on a SHOESTRING budget. The blog and my Facebook Page will showcase free resources, advice and guidance.
You don’t have to risk a fortune to test out your marketing ideas online – AND you shouldn’t, keep the investment small until you’re sure things will work the way you think they will. When you’re sure your idea is a winner and you have a lot of the kinks worked out then you can invest in more sophisticated tools and services to take it to the next level.
