Know your beans before trying to grow a beanstalk

1. Hello everyone,
   
   This is my very first post in my own blog. I have decided to create and maintain my very own blog for a variety of reasons.
   
   1. It is an easy tool for me to update you with my thoughts, ideas and recommendations on everything related to my business i.e. Internet Marketing, Web Design, SEO etc.
   2. My experience within my business has provided valuable insight that I am ready to share with you. This experience has humbly taught me that even though I live and breathe internet marketing and web design; my customers don't. My blog will attempt at helping and assisting such businesses.
   3. The world is full of "professionals". However, I have found most businesses (small, medium or large) are primarily interested in getting a web site created quickly and efficiently. This is generally followed by "how do I market this?" type of questions. My blog will provide the much-needed information on how to proceed with this first baby step.
   
   As time goes by, I will regularly post information and tips on:
   
   a. How to get started with your web site
   b. Some of the basic things you need to have in place BEFORE you decide to start building or hiring a web design company - to save you grief
   c. Some of the simpler aspects of Internet Marketing you need to know so you acquire knowledge in topics like SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and business process automation.
   

My ultimate idea is to educate you and provide valuable information in a simple, easy-to-understand language, thereby removing the technical complexities as much as possible.
