Opening the Doors of a Small Business

If you have your heart set on opening your own small business, know that modern technology and tools make it easier than ever to do so successfully. I started my now flourishing small business by getting a great website done and then finding affordable SEO services to market my site. With these two actions, I made my way to small business success.

The service I offer is psychic readings local to my area. I am available to go to private residences or meet one on one with clients, but I do my fair share of parties and festivals, too. I love using my gift to not only guide people but also entertain them. There is nothing as wonderful to me as adding a little magic and wisdom to a person's life.

I live in Arizona, just outside of Phoenix. I grew up in the cold and windy Northeast and love the weather down here. I moved here for a job but really because I love the area. I was excited to be out of Boston at last and on my own in a new city. I don't mind working a less than satisfying job now and then if it means starting on a new path or lifestyle.

I had never been paid for my psychic abilities before coming to Arizona. I had friends in Boston who I would help out with advice now and then but never was it a business transaction.

When I got to Arizona, the job was worse than I expected. Rather than get in the dumps, I took this as a sign that I needed to finally establish my own psychic service. I had a gut feeling that it was time to make the leap.

The first step was to brainstorm what I really wanted my service to offer. I chose to leave the subject of my services open to relationships, career, health or any other topic that my client was interested in. This way, I reasoned, I wouldn't be limiting my demographic.

The next step was to have my website designed. I have some web design skills myself but knew only a pro could make the kind of alluring site I needed to market myself.

The last step in making my business successful was to find affordable SEO services. Phoenix is a hot bed for folks involved in the online marketing trade but I held out for a good price. Within a few months of hiring the SEO company, my website was getting hits left and right. My appointment book started to fill up and I knew I wouldn't have to work full time for much longer.
