When you are a little fish, it is hard to compete with the sharks.
Try playing by their rules, and you starve or get eaten! To succeed, you need to rewrite the rules. Succeed in a better way. Focus on the things that really matter - the things that sharks really aren't very good at! Integrity and Ethical treatment of Clients Quality Standards and Excellence Exceptional Web Service ValueSmall Business Serving Small Business All the things your clients need, but which micro-business owners don't often get. All the things that big business thinks you can't deliver profitably. All the things you can only do if you DON'T play by their rules! When little fish get together and share what they know, they can outsmart any shark! MicroWebmasters Alliance is the Trade Association just for Micro-Business Web Service Providers. We aren't just about raising the standard in our industry, we're also providing the tools to help you give your clients high value, affordable services, with which you can still make a healthy profit! No packaged deals here, just sharing of success tools and strategies (and we have a lot of them). The web world is geared toward corporate contracts. There is no acknowledgement that the rules are different for small webmasters who work daily with small businesses. All those people fighting over the big corporate contracts, while the world of small contracts gets swamped by scammers and people with inadequate training. Big corporations that produce cut rate services make it difficult for you to persuade your clients that you really can give them better value. Gather with the group. Combine your knowledge with the knowledge of other people who are succeeding at what you do. Develop alliances that allow you to stand a fighting chance against the gutted mass produced half-solutions. We can't win if we fight by their rules, but we CAN rewrite the rules and win on our terms, if we cooperate with each other. Together we gain strength and the power to forge the standards to set our industry apart as a specialized field. Junior and Professional memberships available - there is a place for you no matter what your level of experience. Associate Memberships available for Do-it-Yourselfers and people in related MicroBusiness Service businesses. Small businesses are the fastest growing employment sector in the U.S.. Self-employment is gaining ground all around the world. The time is right to define this realm of web services as a specialization. Get on board, and help us shake the world! |
