Are you struggling to figure out the best way to build an online presence for your service-based business? In today's episode, I dive deep into the differences between a bio page, landing page, and full website - and which one you should create first.   During the conversation, I discuss: The pros and cons of relying solely on social media for your business How a bio page, landing page, and full website serve different purposes The best approach based on whether you're launching with an "audience-first" or "service-first" strategy Practical tips on creating each type of digital presence on a budget   Here are some key takeaways and lessons from the episode: A bio page is like a digital business card - a simple one-pager with links to your key info and offerings A landing page is more robust, designed to capture leads and sell your services directly If you're building an audience first, start with a landing page to grow your email list If you're leading with your services, a full website is ideal, but a landing page can work too Don't get paralyzed by the options - take the first step to establish your online presence!
