Should I start a website or blog?

Websites
Start a blog, not a stale website. WordPress has been the blog of choice for me. There are many reasons to have a blog instead of a stale website.

• Site is constantly being updated with content by you, which helps people find you through internet searches
• You can offer free tips on your blog that will help establish your credibility as a coach/trainer
• Connect your YouTube page so people can see you in action and/or watch video testimonies of your services

Blogs are smiply the best way to go for service oriented professionals. Stand alone websites pale in comparison to blog in regards to repeat traffic. If you are waiting for someone to stumble upon your website, it won’t happen. There are just too many other trainer/coaches out there hoping for the same thing.

Also, buy the domain with your name (jamesleath.com, trainerjames.com) or your brand and forward the domain to your blog. I have always used GoDaddy for domains but there are many other choices out there.
