Creating your own personal freelance website is the fastest way to make business contacts that will expand your opportunities and connections.
This creates your own "community" so you are never alone out there ever again.
Take it from someone who thought I would have a website "someday".
I made the decision to get it up fast once I realized that it would be the KEY to revving up my fledgling copywriting career.
Taking the AWAI's Freelance Website in Four Days Express Webinar Series program was the jet-propelled path to getting my website up.
Although at times my head hurt from the deluge of information both practical and technical, I was committed to see it through.
Once the program catapulted me from "Someday I'll do this" to "My freelance website is up!" I learned even more about why it is CRUCIAL to have a freelance business website to succeed in the field today and in the future.
Having your own freelance business website:
To start yourself off on the quickest steps to online business contacts and creating relationships with potential clients and people in your field, jump headfirst into the social media scene of your personal freelance website.
In just a few short weeks, I had it all going: website, Facebook "fan" or business page, Twitter account, LinkedIn account, and other connections and links going to and from my website.
 I posted content-driven articles on other sites driving traffic back to my site.
My "fans" and followers grew, my articles started marching up on the Google search pages, and my name and "brand" was becoming known.
This is just the beginning.
Keeping at this, a little bit each week, will give more opportunities for Google to "crawl" my site, for readers of my articles to link back to my site, for connections on LinkedIn to see my posts, and for clients to check out my website as a sample of my writing talents.
 Getting my website up, SEO'd, and linked to others forced me to learn so much, apply what I learned, and then spread out in many directions to get it "found" and recognized.
The experience was hands-on, frustrating at times, exhilarating at others, and deeply satisfying as I watch it grow.
Now it's your turn.
