I want you to have a website that works for you, and I want you to have it by the end of this month.

That’s why I want to ask you to take a little time to understand exactly why your website (or web presence) matters so much to your freelance career and to do a simple exercise that will guide you through establishing your essential messaging statement (something that will go with you you throughout your growth as an independent worker.)

You can find that exercise on this post. Even if you’ve done it before, I want to ask you to work through it again, but this time, with the help of your community members here at BlackFreelance.

One of the most useful benefits of your being a member of the BlackFreelance Academy is access to live feedback on all your thoughts and theories before you put them into practice. After you’ve created your messaging statement, you can post it on this month’s discussion around Website Month. If you’re confused or undecided around any part of it, go ahead and say so! You never know who can help you work through a problem, or who already has insight into an industry or client base you’re considering.

And while you’re there would you mind giving some feedback on Kehira’s website (her post his the first response)? I’m about to post my first thoughts myself and I’m sure she’d love to hear constructive input from you too. Talk to you soon!
