2. Website content. I do not want to spend my time writing content what is recommended as a content grabber article writer? Submission software?

    1. Should I let someone like independentwebagent build us a website or should I wordpress or both. I suggest Wordpress, either learn yourself or hire someone

    2. Website content. I do not want to spend my time writing content what is recommended as a content grabber article writer? Submission software? You will need lots of content, videos and social media following to do this correctly.

    Depends on the type of business really. Personally I'd recommend a website that is based on wordpress or any cms platform to ensure easy updating.

    Content: Again depends on the type of business, you can hire someone for that.

    If you want a static website, I have an offer running for free html based websites for offline businesses and you can chose from a template here Web Design Services | Maddiction

    The only catch here is you host the site with me. If you are interested and only want the template I'll give you it for free no strings attached and you don't even have to host it for me. Just a little warrior courtesy here

    First off, what KIND of Insurance agency are you. (What long-tail keywords will you be zeroing in on?) What will make your agency different from the rest?

    See online in your local area what websites you're up against, what they offer, etc.

    Send me an email (PM) and I'll do some quick research on your area, industry, keyword, etc.

    If I were you, I would hire freelance workers (independent contractors) to set things up and help get everything started, which includes building a simple yet effective website that offers your services, and then another to help you promote local buyers to buy your insurance, then I would actually hire people who can keep things running smoothly. The people you hire should be able to take over advertising, running your website, and supplement you with new ideas on the ever changing way to offer your business online.

    There's a lot to punching through the apathy today's consumers
    feel... even after you get traffic to your website. For something
    like insurance I reckon the apathy is pretty intense and the
    competition is gnarly.

    The question is: how serious a student of marketing are you?
