The WSJ had an article yesterday about using Youtube as a marketing tool for businesses. Of the 501 adults that were surveyed, 59% had viewed a video ad on the internet of those 43% checked out the website, 22% requested information about the product and 18% went to the store to check it out and 15% made a purchase - what do you think? Is this a great medium for small businesses?

The website is so important! Today, if people are looking for you and they don't find your website, they think you are not a serious business. One of the best things you can do to pump up your image is a good website.
I recommend Network Solutions to my clients because you don't have to hire a designer. You can create a website much less expensively than hiring it done. This is the most economical place I've found so far to create a site if you are not familiar with programming or don't have a lot of computer technical skills.
I created one for my clients who are attorneys using this solution. You can see how their site looks by going to hilgerlaw.com. I had this up in about an hour.
