We used to do an intense 90 mins 1:1 training but our clients felt overwhelmed. Slow and steady wins the race and helps to empower you to jump in and engage with your site. Knowing how to help your business get found, add blog posts and other information/services/products, add images, social media links, etc. is a must. Remember that your website works for you while you sleep and is not a static tool. Like any retail store you have to add new, spice it up and interact with your potential clients…. to engage with them, keep top of mind be the expert in what you do. Here’s the weekly breakdown on all that we’ll cover:
Week 1 : Keeping your Site Secure
- How and when to make backups
- How and when to update your theme and plugins
- WHY: my favourite story here is a client who called one Sunday morning in a panic “Get the terrorist off my site!”. On the sidebar of her blog she had a masked man holding up a rifle with Arabic writing beneath is. Her site had been hacked. While this is an extreme example several clients get hacked yearly.
Week 2 : Working with Pages
- How to edit/add texts and images to the static pages on your website
- How to upload/edit images
- How to create a new page on your site
- WHY: Your messaging changes, your credentials change, you need to update your professional images (or get better ones taken). This is like decorating vs. renovating. Just like a new bedspread refreshes a room, new content on your site does the same thing for your site.
Week 3 : Working with Posts
- How to edit your blogs
- How to create a new blog & monitor comments
- How to upload/edit images
- WHY: Content is king online and so it is imperative to add content so that your site gets crawled by search engines. Blogging is an amazing way to add fresh content on your site and to share your knowledge and expertise with your clients. It allows them to engage with you.
Week 4 : Optimizing your Site
- How to tag your site for SEO on pages and posts
- Tips on keywords and how to get your site found
- WHY: Make sure that your website has onsite optimization so that potential clients searching for you can find you. Learn how to write descriptions for your pages, incorporate keywords into your content and more. This is all about getting found online.
Week 5 : Working with the Menu/Portfolio
- Adding/editing your menu/footer/widgets
- Using your portfolio (if applicable)
- WHY: You have a new service and have to add it to the main menu, you have moved and changed your location, you want to add a map to help clients find you, you decide you want to delete the home button (most people know the logo = home page).
Week 6 : Q & A
- Send in any questions you have before on anything new or practice and review
- Opportunity to practice live and or get feedback on images, text, seo work, blogs, etc
- From how to use malware, delete spam, come up with ideas for blogs to figuring out the ins and outs
- WHY: You need extra time to review, you want to be watched as you work as you just aren’t getting it, you have questions that weren’t answered, you want to understand how/your newsletter ties in, you want to clone a new product and so much more.
