A Big Lesson from Running a Small Business for Other Small Businesses.
Running a business is a wild ride, with competition always breathing down your neck. Progress feels like molasses, and success demands being caffeine-fueled most of the day. To make things worse, companies of all sizes are out to sell you clicks and hits, claiming they can boost your online presence and flood your site with traffic that will probably bottleneck hosting servers around the world. Whoa!
These so-called marketing experts charge hefty monthly fees for their “assistance” but often deliver little more than frustration. Take this story: I recently met a small business owner who is forking over $350 a month for hosting and monitoring his simple five-page website built by the service provider. The kicker? He has to make all the changes himself; they only offer monitoring and hosting in his package. Want actual support? That’s extra! By the way, what is monitoring, anyway? Hmmm.
Sadly, stories like this are all too familiar. Years ago, I fell into the same trap when I launched my business. Juggling the countless demands of running a company, I didn’t have the time or resources to build a robust online presence. Desperate for help, I turned to a company that promised to catapult my business online. Get ready. This is hard to believe: they took advantage of my situation and delivered diddly-squat—so much time and money wasted.
This frustration ignited my passion to start Creative Wingman, a platform dedicated to giving small businesses real, no-nonsense guidance and support to empower them to thrive online. My mission is to be your trusted ally in the digital trenches, helping you build an online presence that genuinely reflects and elevates your business.
