11 Ways To Know You've Found The One! {Your Market 11 Ways To Know You've Found The One! {Your Marketing Match}

One of the downsides of the online marketing environment is the lack of integrity by many digital marketers. Over and over again, I see them take advantage of what you don't know, that's why I made up this list. Be smart. Educate yourself so you don't get scammed.

This list is by no means everything you need to know, but at least it gives you some basic guidelines.

1. Before Any Work Happens, You Get A Free Consultation
2. You’ve Seen Samples Of Their Previous Work
3. You Receive A Clear Proposal
4. Specific Goals Are Outlined
5. A Budget Is Set
6. A Timeline Is Established
7. Your Questions Are Answered Clearly
8. You Feel Heard & Understood

10. They Act With Integrity
11. They Are Passionate About Your Vision.  #womeninbusiness #websitedesign #onlinemarketing #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssupport
