Free Websites? Tell me more

I was recently asked about a replacement venue for a small organization that used a free service to run / host their club page but is now charging a fee.

While there are a plethora of packages you can choose from (in the $60-70/yr range) that have built in editors, free images and code modules / widgets that you can just drop into place and a registered web address, there are also a number of free venues that most tend to overlook, here's some points that apply to both Facebook and Blogger platforms.

Facebook and Blogger are like a block party that never ends and are an invaluable resource to getting you or your company found through search engines, local searches and word of mouth (albeit digitally).

With these 2 services in place you can:
  1. Find out who "likes" your product and / or service.
  2. Develop a relationship with the community (local or online) through informative content and specials.
  3. Engage customers (and potential customers) and give them a voice and let them conveniently interact with you.
  4. Both of these solutions have SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing) built in so no need to worry about weekly / monthly advertising costs, just create a post and introduce your customers to new products, services and events.
