Looking for some advice

[Inspired by Reggio]

I agree with mom-in-alberta .... my website gets hits from all over the WORLD when I look at my webstatistics ... so Germany, England, Australia, India and boggles my mind sometimes but generally it is because someone 'googled' something and my site came up for them or it was a 'bot' scrolling the net for certain words and other times it is spammers leaving 'spam' in the leave a comment section which I since disabled cause I hated dealing with that!

However if you are wanting feedback on your website I am sure the ladies would be happy to offer it - I tried to find it on your profile but it is not there?

My first advice is if your ads say NEW or OPENING IN AUGUST ... I would remove that - you can tell people in the interview you are 'new' if you want but at least get them in to door in person to meet and see your awesome program ... I would just have ads that say 'Full and part time spaces available for August' and so forth ..... unfortunately unlike with a car or home or other servings in our industry NEW is not a selling feature - many clients are afraid of newbies because so many people enter into childcare thinking it is easy, quick fix to earn lots of money while being home .... only to find out it can be very emotionally and physically demanding and at the end of the day after expenses and factoring in you work 10-12 hours a day you are making less than minimum wage... and they close up on people.

thanks ladies. My ad doesn't have new or opening or anything like that in it (I read previous threads on here so I made sure not to do that). My site is spiltmilkdaycare.blo gspot.com

thanks again!
