Your time is valuable. And if you run a small business, you don’t have a second to waste.  

Many tasks that make up your business’s day-to-day operations are repetitive, laborious, and do not require critical thinking.  

Welcome back for another entry in the series “A Day in the Life of...” where we take a moment to explore the different roles and positions at Legend Web Works, and what those employees have learned during their time in their specific position.  

Today we will sit down with Account Coordinator Alyssa Harp and share the wisdom she has to offer. 

Smart business owners know how to spend money the right way to ensure that they get more money back over a set period. 

The business owners who do this will have success and see their businesses stand the test of time. Those who do not will soon be looking for a new line of work.  

While it is true that you have to spend money to make money, you can’t spend too much, or all your profits will be swallowed up by your bloated expenses.

Believe it or not, marketing can be a lot of fun!  

Of course, you’ll only have a good time under the right conditions. The two main ingredients for marketing success are a sound strategy and lots of patience (trust us, we know!).  

Marketing is essential if you want to grow your business.  

It helps new clients and customers find your business, highlights important products or services, and controls your business’s online reputation. 

The world wide web gives your small business the power to accomplish things you could only dream of with a brick-and-mortar store.  

You own a small business. Every day you work your hands to the bone trying to, first, keep your business afloat, and second, discover ways to make your business more profitable (even small business owners must eat!)
