Freelancer Website: When, Why, and How?
There are several pieces to this.
A website is a necessary part of running ANY size business in the 21st century.
But as a freelancer or small business owner, do you need one the moment you start thinking about freelancing? Once you have a good idea? When you get your first client?
Those are great questions!
Let’s dive into some answers.
When should you start a website?
This can vary. However, the smartest and safest move is to reserve the domain name (the URL) once you have a business name in mind.
Even if you don’t intend to start selling your products or services immediately, having the domain and social media handles ensures you’ll have the ones you want when you ARE ready.
As for actually building your website, the time is before you start pitching/marketing your services or products.
Once you start marketing yourself and your business, many people will Google you/your business before making a purchase.
Having a website means YOU get to control the narrative around how your business is marketed. You control the messaging.
